[billy woods - Protoevangelium lyrics]
One thing at a time one thing at a time
One thing at a time
Life gave me lemonade
I pour in my spirit of choice
The trees weapons grade
It's not that I'm 'noid
UN inspectors upstairs
I'm tryin' not to make a noise
Wave one hand like
"All that gotta get destroyed"
I see how your man move all
Him raps is null and void disregarded
The game thick with con artists and hucksters
Flip a cardboard box
Three-card monte social justice
That's a no for me beloved and
The rhymes are mostly rubbish i get it
Tryna pay the rent
But that's not black empowеrment
That's you tryna pay the rent
Niggas got a lot of nеrve
I'll give 'em that
But I don't believe a word
I see through the act
I see how you tryna switch up the past
Before you come for me brother make
Sure you stop for gas
Who the cap fit's let them wear it
Check it out
Now there's a bomb at the end of this fuse
And now we bringin' it to you live
Ghetto Network News live if you wanna live
Now you get what you want, do you want more?
Now you get what you want
Does you want more?
I came to the end or at least
My finish and they said three wishes
(three wishes) it was dark
But I could see a fire in the distance
See parables of three in
Every other inference, Thinkin'
That night in Chinatown we got in the party
I still don't know how
Smokin' cigars across from Dr J
Mine was full of haze everything was free
One spoke English the other Portuguese
Bed had a canopy
Blood red lips and a gap in her teeth
Oh the things we shoulda did
Give me a Thanksgiving while
We all still lived
Auntie Carmen's cornbread, I
Cooked the bird, Carved the pig
Renell said bow our heads
And Auntie Umi winked
I listened to them talk while I'm
Washin' dishes at the sink
My sister dryin'
That night Umi was cryin' so quiet
Let me hug her this time "I'm so tired"
And for the last I paused
Lookin' back at the road I walked
They said come now, it's one more
One thing at a time
Life gave me lemonade
I pour in my spirit of choice
The trees weapons grade
It's not that I'm 'noid
UN inspectors upstairs
I'm tryin' not to make a noise
Wave one hand like
"All that gotta get destroyed"
I see how your man move all
Him raps is null and void disregarded
The game thick with con artists and hucksters
Flip a cardboard box
Three-card monte social justice
That's a no for me beloved and
The rhymes are mostly rubbish i get it
Tryna pay the rent
But that's not black empowеrment
That's you tryna pay the rent
Niggas got a lot of nеrve
I'll give 'em that
