Apollo Brown, Ras Kass, Rakaa Iriscience, Pharoahe Monch - H2O lyrics

Memories, like the corners of my mind
Misty watered colored memories of the way

The good old days reflect with me
You know what I'm sayin'
We just sittin' on the porch in Watts
Helicopter flyin' overhead
Lil niggas in the street throwin' dirt rocks
Feel me

Archaeological logic
Discovered Van Gogh's fossils
To paint a perfect picture
Twelve years a slave, twenty years a spitter
Thirty seven years a nigga
Hopin' to see ninety bein'
A strong black figure as I stand and deliver
Breathe fire in Japan, Godzilla
By popular demand till the fans
See that God got iller
I'm like Cornel West with scales on my chest
You superman thugs
Caught Kryptonite to the flesh
See the hood got me stressed
Takin fists to the neck
Multiple arrest then I discovered KRS
Let us begin, what, where, how or why
Will all be explained and if not, fam we die
Losin' granny was the hardest
Good women I fucked and left broken hearted
Turned up being retarded
Transformation to activist from an artist
Like young Malala who the
Taliban would target
Shot in the head just cause
She wanted to read
Till every person sex trafficed is free
We gotta bleed (Turned down for what?)
Cause niggas tell on themselves nowadays
Film it on Vine then wonder
Why crime don't pay candid outlandish
The dirty pistol I brandishe
Glad they didn't have camera phones when
I was young doin' bad shit
Yeah, I just dated myself
I'm no spring chicken but why
You hate on yourself?
For five minutes of fame
Find yourself like Kat Stacks
Knocked out the frame locked in a cage
And bitchin' it's true, you
Backwards hustlin' homie
You snitchin' on you
I'm on my Descartes, Diop, Be-Bop, Aristotle
Prehistoric talons twist the top
Off the bottle
My era is classic Tyrannosaurus Rex
In the lab shit
Leimert Park so I pass it Jurassic

I can think back but life
Goes on so keep livin'
Can't take a thing back but life
Goes on so keep livin'
There are couple things
That maybe I would if I could
Forgive myself for, I'm unforgiving
Yeah, I throw this drink back but
Life goes on so keep livin'

In order to recollect exceptional memories
I developed a way to transform brainwaves
Into binary code from energy
Translate algorithms
Converted the information to digital
Uploaded compiled files of wisdom
Then projected them on a screen
Vivid beautiful scenes
Extract orchestrated symphonies and
Heavenly dreams the alchemist
In kindergarten when kids was
Asking about alphabets
I was immaculate with astronomy
Mastering calculus
Seized from my parents during a
Scene when I was seven
They experimented on my brain up
Until I was age eleven and at age thirteen I
Learned to literally stream
Molecules and teleport molecular structures
With the beam these are my memories
Soak them in with a notion
To fast forward the bad and play
The good in slow motion now I astral project
Analyze Guam study Agent Orange bring back
Secrets from 'Nam
The government asked me to track
The locals on Islam
They asked me the whereabouts of Boko Haram
And cracked my brain for
Catastrophic chatter that's insane
To extract data from satellites
On missin' Malaysian planes
My memories, my memories, my memories
Although from only just a week ago
My memories, my memories, my memories

I can think back but life
Goes on so keep livin'
Can't take a thing back but life
Goes on so keep livin'
There are couple things
That maybe I would if I could
Forgive myself for, I'm unforgiving
Yeah, I throw this drink back but
Life goes on so keep livin'
