Transmitting live from the cusp of extinction Look you in the eyes like, "Fuck was you thinking?" I´m kinda feeling like there´s nothing left to defend
But if we keep it Franklin, that´s just another weekend I guess karma really gives you what you paid for ´Cause AmeriKKKa got blood in her carburetor I´m in the mountains hiding out from the park rangers Something ´bout putting a slug in your heart chamber If I ain´t the one that wrote it, then I quoted it Ipso facto, I overlooked your ownership Kicked that back door to open it, broke it in Hit those bad notes and drove it like I chauffeured it S´posed to get me on a guest list, but I´m skeptical In my profession don´t nobody act professional Decided I´d arrive a little bit ahead of schedule

I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling Don´t even know if I´d recognize the feeling But I been working my whole life I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling Don´t even know if I´d recognize the feeling But I been working my whole life

´Cause I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling
Don´t even know if I´d recognize the feeling But I been working my whole life I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling Don´t even know if I´d recognize the feeling But I been working my whole life
