24,
Rock rotates ‘round the fireball,
Hours in the day we power through,
The embodiment of the complete church,
Carats in that pure gold,
Like the Black Mamba, like Ken Griffey,
Chapters in The Iliad and The Odyssey,
If you take MJ and then plus one,
Jack Bauer de-arming nuclear weapons,
Mahavira the lion, the last Tirthankara,
When Augustus got consul the tenth time,
Size of the speakers poppin’ out the trunk door,
Chopin’s preludes,
Times I robbed the big-name stores,
Books in the Tanakh,
Dollars to my name only a couple a years ago,
Number of spokes in the Ashok,
24,

Age I am when this shit was wrote,
Four joints before 12, high as fuckin’ hell,
All I see is poetry, all I read are paintings,
All I do is say things, all my profits do is raising,

Chasin’ Godliness without cleanliness,
Been indo burnin’ since grade 8th,
Had a fifth to chase down that Eighth,
Can’t pace when the competition on your case,

Rich with fiction, but spittin’ truth like I’m askin’ for assassination,
Pass the concentration, need a fix for initiation,
Been blazin’, got a knack for logic, mind like I need patience/patients,
College knowledge without the payments,

A plus since front of the yellow bus,
But bad dealings, misbehavior and mistrust,
Lead me down roads I couldn’t roll back through,
Can’t fold, cause this life all I’ve got, gotta deal with it,

24 long years,
288 months I been here,
How quickly that passes is now clear,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,

Practicin’ psychology and rhymes causin’ third degrees,
I snatch the purse from the rich old lady easily,
I been sent, USPS, to you, to here, to make it all clear,
That I’m about to run it like a bank robber after firin’ bullets,

Others lames wit’ the mullets, redneck fucks who gave us Trump,
Never been down on luck, except every other month,
That’s life, I learned it harder than if I got backstabbed with a knife,
All I know is I never wanna be basic, fuck a dog and a housewife,

Known to be not nice, and I wanna change that despite,
That hype that comes from seemin’ dark like where the lights?
Might turn tomorrow into a naked figure, point and pull the trigger,
End the sufferin’, end what shouldn’t be happenin’ that’s all I’m sayin’,

Gaia’s gorgeous, came from a land so poor we had nothin’ to split,
Anguish leadin’ to mania, obesity and throwin’ fits,
Hope the untold legends will at least make it to manuscripts,
The children poppin’ scripts hopin’ for a wish that’ll never come,

It’s ho-hum, I been dumb, chilled with hobos and bums,
Then vilified them, I’ve been on both sides of the fence,
I hate how the times they do just dispense,
Cleanse of you any wrongs, but fly by like a rich girl spends,

No expense can stop me from achievin’ royalty,
I got a fuckin’ eagle eye on creating originality,
No master to me, just my name and my pen, independently,
And dependent on who you ask I’m ‘posed to be the next breed,

Next level like Mario finished the castle and the princess ain’t there,
Got shit to do, a muthafucka in a business suit,
Just cause I ain’t wearin’ one doesn’t mean you don’t treat me like I do,
Got the paradox unlocked, God gave me the secret clue,

Cosmos isn’t bigger than you, it fucking IS you,
Feel it flow through, carry you like waves do,
Married to the soul like Chuck Berry,
Gonna bury me in the soil next to Kennedy,

They sent for me, they sent for me,
Divide hours like a dealer with a razor,
Paid offspring to hunt ya and give ya the phaser,
Aim like a lazer, only goin’ faster,

24 long years,
288 months I been here,
How quickly that passes is now clear,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,
Gotta make it worth my existence,

Crash the Prius and out the pastor,
Out in the pastures, I pass herbs,
Wildly, got snake eyes surroundin’ me,
But know I’m number one, fuck a plot against Izzy,

Kept the chronic close, read the chronicles and can quote,
Got my knowledge up like it’s the new Franklins, so I boast,
But know the smartest says he doesn’t know,
So remain humble and you cannot stumble bro,

Flow faucet with no off-switch, drownin’ the globe with my spit,
Been down in a hole since one-six, not last year but grade 10 shit,
Made in America, better than the red hats, check the tags bitch,
I’m a maverick with massive confidence, took their pot to piss,

In, can’t be out unless the calls are against you,
So keep movin’ like freight do, exponentially your career grew,
Bloomin’ since practicin’ rappin’ in my teenage bedroom,
Seen the Age of the Feds groomin’ future rich kids to consume,

I need a smaller government, cause ours doesn’t do it,
They got better ideas at the à la carte,
Better bug Trump’s phone, see if he working for oligarchs,
Hold up art that causes consciousness to shift before it’s too dark,

HB to me,
HB to me,
Can’t stay off anything,
HB to me,
24
