A-1 - The Ritual lyrics

rate me

Everything’s not quite what they said it were

Living in a scheme, tryna look past the regular

Play the game, stay the same, it’s habitual

But don’t let them set you up for the ritual

Fuck it, me and WooSteez back at it with the black magic

That will leave you on your back, flatted

Knocked out, glass of warm milk

In the craftmatic, adjustable bed

While some of you kids can’t stand it

As an embryo I said to my soul

‘Yo, do you want this body?’ it said

‘Yeah, I’ll take a crack at it

But I let you know right now that if you hurt it

I’ll return it to the earth and let the ocean or the land have it’

And then I laughed at me

Man, if everybody’s got to go through it

Then screw it, let’s do it, take me do the damn planet

And then before I knew it I had emerged

Out of the fluid as a human man

Ritual unions have gotten me in trouble again

And ever since then it’s been cracking

Living inside of the body of a half black man

An Italiano Africano like they try to model my body

After Rocky mixed with Apollo, win a combo when it happen

I was wondering of a white dread and the mysteries in the sky

I was wondering

Everything’s not quite what they said it were

Living in a scheme, tryna look past the regular

Play the game, stay the same, it’s habitual

But don’t let them set you up for the ritual

I was wondering how I got Steez for days

Under palm trees even eating bomb-meez with babes

We used to clock G’s selling mollies at raves

Back then we was rocking them tall T’s and waves

Now it’s more like whatever feels comfiest

Down to share my meal with whoever feels hungriest

Anyone that enters in our guild should have incentive to build

Either that or whoever feels luckiest

‘Cause they’ll emasculate, knife up and castrate

Gun down, assassinate, and kill us unjustly

If we start to fuck with the rise of their machine

It’s just a dirty system that we’re kinda scared to clean

This is early ‘30’s wisdom that was mine at 17

Spoken from my mid 20’s, nothing is as it seems

Trying to look past material schemes

But we marry to the money, it reminds me that being in this

Ritual unions have got me in trouble again

So as you walk upon the earth

Recognize that you’ve been equipped with only one brain

To make the choice, to follow in the path of the mundane

Or ride on the everyday fun train

When the wheels fall off, it all falls down

You grow old, regretting not taking the road less traveled

Remember till the next generation this one thing

Everything’s not quite what they said it were

Living in a scheme, tryna look past the regular

Play the game, stay the same, it’s habitual

But don’t let them set you up for the ritual
