Well, I be arrangin' thoughts in my brain cell family [Unverified] embarking on incredible creative routes Understanding me is truth shining like a lie When I say break wide, I mean take trips Not just in your ride in your mind

When you are just a blotch and a stain on the planetary plane Just another name in the phone book of fame Bustin' out the seams it seems you haven't gained enough To be seen in the right scene, your thoughts, they seem so convincing
