"2020"

Thought I'd be the man at 21
Said by 22 that I'd be closer to the funds
Belly never empty when you manifest the want

They said they did it, but we know they didn't
I can't wait to show all my niggas we in pole position
Polarised on colder nights, my niggas know the mission
Poltergeist just mean we whippin till your spirit missing
I had to ghost, they see loneliness in my disposition
I wonder why no niggas seem to fit my old description
I wonder why they couldn't curse, I figured jah was blessing
I wonder why they talk about it, never hold the weapon, hold the message
Call your leader, tell him I need answers
Tell him I need every piece of gold that came from Ghana
Just another cobain searching for nirvana
Just another no name blessed to be the martyr, I'm the man now

Let em know, time I let em know
This ain't nothing like the usual, I ain't removable
I just came back from the mother land, the view was beautiful
I got something for you actors like the perfect movie roll
I ain't scared of you niggas, I be Bernie with the mac
Never heard of you niggas, I was busy with the racks
The ye different, it's just another angle when we rap
The pay different, I need another 0 on the back

Thought I'd be the man at 21, 21
Said by 22 that I'd be closer to the funds
Tighten up the circle, move in silent, get the grub
Belly never empty when you manifest the want
Thought I'd have it all by 23, look at me
Damn near lost it all by 24, 2020 Vision
(Damn near lost it all by 24), 2020 Vision
(Now I'm back for good I want it all), 2020

It's cool if they feeling froggy, tell em' jump
97 shots and we knocking back everyone Never miss 'em, the smoke free
You might have to pay me for forgiveness, that ain't cheap
Act like I ain't been through stormy weather, that rain sleet
Used to treat her nose back when I met her, that ain't me
I was serving words to non believers that ain't sleep
If I had a penny every time they said next up
I'd spend every penny on a prayer and on good luck
The buss down, dripping on the suede kinda much now
Couple brothers spot me by the plate, say I'm lunch wow
Still I know that karma keep me safe on the playground
And I know the neighbors probably hate me, the smoke loud

Thought I'd be the man at 21
Hope that I survive another trip around the sun
Said by 22 that I'd be closer to the funds
Tighten up the uh, move in uh, get the
Wait!

Thought I'd be the man at 21, 21
Said by 22 that I'd be closer to the funds
Tighten up the circle, move in silent, get the grub
Belly never empty when you manifest the want
Thought I'd have it all by 23, look at me
Damn near lost it all by 24, 2020 Vision
(Damn near lost it all by 24), 2020 Vision
(Now I'm back for good I want it all), 2020
(Damn near lost it all by 24)
(Now I'm back for good I want it all)
