Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away
So what's the voice that you hear when you read to yourself
And everything else you can't see but is felt
You leave ice in the heat and it melts
But that water's still water, you can drink to your health, yeah
It's energy, there's no creating or destroying it
It's still water, even when you start boiling it
Life goes on, even if you ain't enjoying it
You might as well create the panacea from the poisonous
I'll make a noise that's boisterous while my voice exists
The world is what my oyster is
I'm 'bout to stick a sword in it
Blade pointing an Ancient Pistol at Dr. Morbius
The way I'm living, boy, you know I'm an immortalist
I think of a rhyme, write it down and record it then
So I can take it for a spin next time I'm born agai,
Going back to the future with no Delorean
No dashboard or fast forward
It's straight from the origin
Like, yeah
My niggas, we immortal
That's why you see the light at end of the portal
When I die, don't cry, 'cause I'm coming back for you
Yeah, I'm coming back for you
That's why my niggas is immortal
That's why we see the light at the end of the portal
When I die, don't cry, 'cause I'm coming back for you
Yeah, I'm coming back for you
This is for the men and women who were murdered by one time
Even children, 'cause they're trying to cut off our bloodlines
Them suicidal sufferers, the people who done tryin'
I'm here to tell you all you're coming back like the sunshine
It's reincarnation, so while you stargazing
You're looking at a representation of our nation
Maybe I'll have a daughter with the spirit of my momma
Pure like before she ever suffered from the trauma
I swear I'll never understand why she hit eject
'Cause everybody had the understanding that she's blessed
A part of me guesses that she just needed a reset
My biggest challenge is giving her memory respect
So Father, please forgive her
Then forgive me next
Guide me in your righteousness
I'll go with your lead
So many of the oppressed are feeling so depressed
They tried to bury us and didn't know we were seeds
That's right, that's why
That's why my niggas is immortal
That's why you see the light at the end of the portal
When I did, don't cry, 'cause I'm coming back for you
Yeah, I'm coming back for you
Yeah, that's right, that's why
That's why my niggas is immortal
That's why you see the light at the end of the portal
When I did, don't cry, 'cause I'm coming back for you
Said I'm coming back for you
Now keep it moving like this, keep it moving like that
If I die, I'ma only come back
Keep it moving like this, keep it moving like that
If I die, I'ma only come back
Keep it moving like this, keep it moving like that
If I die, I'ma only come back
Keep it moving like this, keep it moving like that
If I die, I'ma only come back
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal
My niggas is immortal, immortal, immortal, immortal
