JID, EARTHGANG - Metropolis lyrics

Let me tell y’all what this must be
A couple keys wrapped under
The Christmas tree
A few pan handling, black Mandarins
One off a Candler and the
Others off a Campbellton
Eye level they wanna see us
But it’s hard to chop a
Sequoia to a tree stump, with a butter knife
That shit would take an eon
I was riding down E Ponce de
Leon with my nigga Keeyan
Seen a fly girl in some Yves Saint Laurent’s
I was like ooh girl you Beyoncé
You could be my fiancé
What’s your name? She said Dion
Cool that’s unisex
I’m thinking how I can give
Me and you the sex
Lil jokey joke, jiddy jid, mardy mar
Never had an Audemar and never
Drove a foreign car
I’m just a gifted ass Georgia boy
There's a difference between gifts and
Talent so peep the balance
Nigga been working until his
Hand get calluses
Tryna eat something fatter than DJ Khaled is
Mind scrabble, dibble dabble, slam the gavel
Long travel roads, fucking hoes
Probably won’t get on til I’m fucking old

I ripped the teeth out from under your brain
These drums is insane
I’m out of my space time continuum frame
And I had to throw my hands up
Rock your head like the ninja
You couldn’t fit on this if it
Was wide as the pacific
I’m tired of tussling with ya’
I’m tired of bussing with ya’
Dog it’s been nuts since we
Was taking little rusty pictures
Fuck you niggas, step on, step on up
Take your ass right back to school
Now with a million paper cuts
Wake the dead up out their
Sleep with a message, i don’t mess
As I’m caught up in the
Embrace of her dreamy labias
And them freaky flow of patterns
Trippin’ and clappin’ at us
Really we get to act up
And we strapped up, high like NASA
So I suggest you back up
If I fell out of my head
Suspended in the lap of a real goddess
She look down while canoeing
Through that silver lining
Would you still try me? With that safety on
Darling would you still eye me?
Feel like the type to loan
Pearls out, interest Steady climbing
Hide me she gon’ have to rotate now
I miss steady shining
Yes I hit the game like Kanye had did
Heads up where the big clutch right
Really trying God not to miss my window
Blind sniper in the dark of the night
Back spasms for the nights you napped on
Back cracking, black boner
All up in the backbone
Stop acting, shed that skin
Pop the capsule, leave your body back home
Then bankhead bounce to the
Other side of life, i get my naps on
Bear that shit
My skin’s a target, hard to compare that shit
If it look good on you
Then they gon’ hate in a bit
Wear that shit, rule a thumb
Cowards scared as fuck to do
What ain't been done
I’m just scared as fuck to show up
To God with the "I ain’t done"
Look on my face I ain’t one to run in place
Trying not to pull a Drake cos
It’s my first time in here
Really caught me at the fucking
Worst time in here west side
So you know it’s hearse time in here

So don’t you dare act like
We never been here before
And your principal office
Been suspended before
Put some acid on your tongue
I recommended it bro
Earth, wind, fire, air bending these hoes

And don’t you dare act like
We never been here before momma watched me
Wondered where the fuck my energy go
Probably the same place where my memories go
To infinity bro, you ain’t feeling me though

From the land of red clay
And lottery worship
Where all of these murders is
Definitely probably on purpose
And all the colicky children getting
Put out in the churches
The preacher mean mugging your momma like
Swallow ya words bitch
What makes a prodigy worthless?
How about taking a shitty
Job cause economy hurting
When you see the face of God
You ain’t gotta be nervous
Especially if in your life you
Tried to follow your purpose
You could’ve been a serial killer
With the coolest symbol
Three razor cuts in a forehead
Of a fifth victim
Illuminati, numerology, triangular prism
Pendulum swinging
Maybe later I’ll be banging some bitches
Ain’t gotta explain to you niggas
We all know danger’s appealing
We all know pain’s the realest way to
Try to say what you feeling
It’s amazing, got malaise from my illness
And that’s a double entendre
But I don’t expect y’all to feel this
Not from the dreamy bohemian
Or the loopiest nubian
Got the gluteus maximus then
We making a movie
Doctor D’s the definition of
A perfect lunatic
That means I’ll probably fucking lose it if
I catch the moon a bit ben Hill, southwest
Where my fucking goonies live
They all a murk you from my baby
Brother if you fool with him
And I’m the lamest nigga in the
Squad and I’m like superman
So it probably would behoove you to
Try to be cool with them
My umbilical was cut by the horses bite
Cause I was born in a
Manger on the darkest night
I was born in the danger
I was forced to fight
Forced to learn the force before the
Night that Obi Wan could die
A lot of dilated eyes claim to see the light
But all they ever see is
Seeds and saplings die
So who’s a victim, look inside ight

And don’t you dare act like
We never been here before
Red carpet on my toes, on the coal
And you can stare like a
Nigga never been here before
We’ll be wringing out your soul
When the filling your soul

So don’t you dare act like
We never been here before
And your principal office
Been suspended before
Put some acid on your tongue
I recommended it bro
Earth, wind, fire, air bending these hoes

And don’t you dare act like
We never been here before momma watched me
Wondered where the fuck my energy go
Probably the same place where my memories go
To infinity bro, you ain’t feeling me though
And don’t you dare act like
We never been here before momma watched me
Wondered where the fuck my energy go
Probably the same place where my memories go
To infinity bro, you ain’t feeling me though
