He was a lost boy with rhythm Heart broke, SYRE has risen Look at the stars It's all written, just hold the applause I'm just gettin' started with it It's not hot enough in the kitchen They sayin' it's it I guess I'm the one thinkin' different I'm slick with it, a lotta change Man, I'm Slick Rick and I don't pivot I'm like Pippen hittin' six swishes in six seconds Autonomous whippin' while whole colonies are poverty strickin' Young niggas ain't stoppin' and drippin' the way I dribble the rock They gotta watch how the rocks are glistenin' Blood diamonds, ancestors fightin' with colonists Know your history, inherit the confidence It's apparent and obvious I'm the young KRS in your providence And this air that we're breathin' is consciousness Every lyric is prominent Just another cold mornin' in Paris, I know I wish I was takin' you home But I ain't takin' the long train no more You don't care about me and it's tough, girl And I'm tryna feel your love but I'm not fucked up, I'm numb Man, what a pity New York City lights glow How many times I gotta tell you niggas that I'm home? Girl, I ain't finna lie, you gorgeous We should go to Malibu, let's go to Florence Rainbow on your aura Girl, you soakin' up the sun like a tourist Another place, she an explorer I'm drinkin' and I'm tellin' her things I'm not sure of Cancun to Angora Couldn't find more of a wavy baby We endin' our month in Bora Bora All this time and you're still on my mind, yeah you know Girl, I ain't tryna leave, I'll be right back Left the crib without the top, need a nightcap I'm just lookin' at the stars for my path I'm serious and get with you, the lyrics all facts They pop off, you tell 'em, "Relax" I drop off the bars and dash let the sunset in the back And the boy's light as a feather in fact At least we can be together now forever but if we could fly through a pink sky, we would never go back Just another cold mornin' in Paris, I know I wish I was takin' you home But I ain't takin' the long train no more You don't care about me and it's tough, girl And I'm tryna feel your love but I'm not fucked up, I'm numb Man, what a pity New York City lights glow How many times I gotta tell you niggas that I'm home? We was seventeen years old At Cartier, we had a cop Floatin' in my room, it made feel like I'm an astronaut Niggas mad, how I, acrobat the vocabular And they whack, these fractions ain't adding up I'm back with the math raps, like the boy invented the abacus Less of a rapper more of a strategist Gotta know that money can't buy happiness You gotta have a long arm still in the hills throwing up charcoals Shit ain't changed, nigga, I'm still the saddest kid up in the game Think about you, girl, I do that every day Thoughts I was havin' blew that shit away When I call you, I just don't know what to say Just another cold mornin' in Paris, I know I wish I was takin' you home But I ain't takin' the long train no more You don't care about me and it's tough, girl And I'm tryna feel your love but I'm not fucked up, I'm numb Man, what a pity New York City lights glow How many times I gotta tell you niggas that I'm home? Higher the view I wish you could see how it feels Took three shots, don't drip-drop Quick one-on-one, thought I'd never last Do the math, baby do the math I've been waitin' for it, since I seen you live Say you down for it, down to ride But I called a cab and Girl, I know you smilin' Movin' away for a while Oh girl, your actions don't speak loud and clear You lonely, Baby girl, you're lying My pillow seen me cry all night Make peace with you, I try I never got to say goodbye I'm somewhere in the sky Singing twisted lullabies
