Mac Miller, John Record - Story of Exodus lyrics
[Mac Miller, John Record - Story of Exodus lyrics]
Yo, this one goes out to my boy
On that Hip-Hop shit let's do it, Rec
Listen, what's the matter when
You know it all?
(What's the matter with ya?)
You wanna pull a Shawshank freedom
From your brain's wall
So you tell a story, a story of exodus
When you skip the pain
And looked up for happiness
(yeah, look, look, yo, look, yeah, yeah)
First breath and I'm into this Earth
The doctor knew it was spiritual
A miracle birth
I learned to speak immediately
Fiddle with words
Get on my nerves, materials I didn't deserve
And from the first time I
Could catch a breath i'd lay in bed
Writin' poems on my Etch-A-Sketch
I'd sеt my steps up, climbin'
I was straight to the top
An exodus, madе for the mic
And makin' it rock, yeah
This Hip-Hop could be heard from six blocks
I was raisin' the roof and
Just breakin' it off
'Cause before that I could ever walk or stand
My mom was bustin' Hip-Hop
Through the sonogram
So it seems only right to just bump it up
Hit this dick of a planet with
A nickel bag of funk, yeah
A nickel bag of funk, a nickel bag of funk
Hit this dick of a planet with
Just a nickel bag of funk
What's the matter when you know it all?
(What's the matter with ya?)
You wanna pull the Shawshank freedom
From your brain's wall
So you tell a story, a story of exodus
When you skip the pain
And looked up for happiness
Start lookin' up
Start lookin' up (yeah, look, yo, yo)
I'm lookin' up, my mind's above the clouds
For those who run they mouth
They ain't know what I'm about
What is now is the present, a gift
I'll leave it wrapped
My days are passin', my words are overlappin'
Hip-hop's a saga, get told with a lot a ganja
We sparked the marijuana, breathe deep
I'm not God's offer flowin' water
Grow that shit, roll that shit
Smoke that shit
Saga continues, Hip-Hop is not an issue
I ain't got a tissue I could give you
Ain't nobody with you
Battle mano a mano, no crowd, no audience
I'm not convinced that you have the
Confidence to talk some shit
I'm ominous, definition cadence, all-knowin'
I'm always kickin' it
Spittin' whatever you call flow
I flow so much, my book erupts
My days are gone, I continue lookin' up
What's the matter when you know it all?
(What's the matter with ya?)
You wanna pull a Shawshank freedom
From your brain's wall
So you tell a story, a story of exodus
When you skip the pain
And looked up for happiness
Start lookin' up start lookin' up
On that Hip-Hop shit let's do it, Rec
Listen, what's the matter when
