ASTRONOMY

(album: YEAR OF THE OX - 2022)

Goddamn Manny
Yuh (Yuh yuh), Yuh (Yuh yuh), Yuh (Yuh yuh), Yuh (Yuh yuh)

I'm up in outer space, tapping in with astronomy
I can feel it in my veins, it's a part of my biology
It's a part of my geography, from the heart it keep on throbbing me
From the start nobody was stopping me, it was hard but I did it modestly
Yuh, nobody knew who I was now they gotta acknowledge me
They ain't know where I was now they make me biographies
They don't know I'm a prodigy, they don't know it's a prophecy
Stack it up with equality, capping up where's your honesty
I don't want no apologies, cracking up, you a comedy
I'm turning up like my philosophies
Stack up the paper then stack up the data
I'm with the ragers, we tearing the place up
I'm too creative, I made this whole thing up
We not related, no, you not my brother
You underrated they stuck in a slump
I be located where you don't wanna run up
In this generation you best make a come up
All this frustration I'm 'bout to go dummy
I'm on the come up, you know I'ma make it
I'm finna run up 'til I'm dehydrated
I get the bucks up like it's a donation
I'm going up and it's causing inflation
I'm going up, I'm not coming back down
Yeah, I know what's up and you know what that's about (Yeah)
I glo'd up, I'm outside if I show up
Ain't no lie, keep it a buck
You know I'm up in the cut
They know where I be 'cause they see me outside
I'ma keep it a bean 'cause I don't gotta lie
All of these energies I'm unleashing the fye
You competing with me, hope that he ain't dodge
Squirming around in a wormhole, I let it out, let the world know
Life going 'round like a circle
I sleep in the daytime I'm feeling nocturnal
I'm so universal, I'm feeling eternal
Feel the heat on the playground, it's hot like a thermal
I stayed with the hurdle then came in a hurdle
Without no rehearsal, it ain't even normal
This water's inverted, I hopped in a portal
Time is reversing and turning
I just been working through all of these burdens
I was observing while I was out learning
I was conserving, preserving my energy
So none of my enemies could ever get to me
I was disturbing and hurting my enemies
Now none of my enemies wanna be friends with me
You dig, I got too much drip
I'm just way too slick, I guess I'm just way too rich
Yeah, you dig, it is what it is, I did what I did
This isn't a gig, I'm flipping the chips
I'm rocking this Rick, I'm dripping in Rick
