Nobody (feat. Ms. Lauryn Hill)

歌詞

One city, one country, one state Some place to be nobody Some place to be Some place you wouldn't know problems Yeah, yeah If Chappelle moved to Ghana to find his peace then I'm rollin Where the service always roamin' I'm packin' my bags and goin' It's a challenge in that, it's a balancing act Visit beautiful places that's more out here than the trap Houses in Long Island they always found 'em House in the South a nigga barely got out Sunny LA Remember calls with Dr. Dre He told me Don't let the palm trees fool you nigga, be safe' Me and my higher self, we often would speak Somehow we lost the connection, might meet at Joshua Tree And it's been bothering me Too many wavy women, gotta log outta I-G Can't be my age DM'ing No kidding It's hard to move like a civilian I write the truth 'cause I live it, not like you musical niggas We did it big and they bigots They'd rather shoot than write tickets What it feel like to go get it What it feel like to go missing In one city, one country, one state Some place to be nobody Some place to be Some place you wouldn't know problems Some place to be nobody My dog bought a plane, said, "Let's go to Paris" That's where baguettes are from French bread, that's long and narrow I like the other definition, rectangular carats The concept of this song is rather esoteric This girl said in Grenada we should go get married Broke the meaning down of the Virgin Mary And you got your own place My favorite part of the night when you text me that you made it home safe I'm contemplatin' at the homebase how I'm used to breakfast in the ghetto sippin' OJ That's a picture right there, a moment in time Before anybody wanted a photo of mine Before the internet energy and social decline Destroyed the vibe foolin' us with the headlines (Keepin' us blind) Vultures eat you alive (The key to the signs) Wishin' I'd find One city, one country, one state Some place to be nobody Some place to be Some place you wouldn't know problems Some place to be nobody All my time has been focused on my freedom now Why would Ijoin 'em when I know that I can beat 'em now? They put their words on me And they can eat 'em now That's probably why they keep on tellin' me I'm needed now They tried to box me out while takin' what they want from me I spent too many years living too uncomfortably Making room for people who didn't like the labor Or wanted the spoils, selfish behavior Now let me give it to you balanced and with clarity I don't need to turn myself into a parody I don't do the shit you do for popularity They clearly didn't understand when I said I get out apparently My awareness like Keanu in The Matrix I'm savin' souls and ya'll complainin' bout my lateness Now it's illegal for someone to walk in greatness They want the same but they don't take risks Now the world will get to see it's own reflection And the anointed can pursue their own direction And if you're wrong and you're too proud to hear correction Walk into the hole you dug yourself fuck a projection See me in my freedom taking all my land back They sent a lot against me thinking I'd just stand back I got my legs beneath me, I got my hands back A lotta people sabotaged they couldn't stand that I turned the other cheek, I took blow after blow There's so much crisis in the world 'cause you reap what you sow When you keep what you know is meant for someone else The ditch you dig for them you mustjust end up in yourself I'm in the secret place I keep a sacred space They keep showin' their hands, but keep hidin' their face If I'm a messenger you block me, then you block the message So aggressive, the world you made is what you're left with Pride and ego over love and truth is living reckless Y'all niggas got a death wish, the stupid leaves me breathless Some place to be Yeah Ain't duckin' nothin' Just might have to build my own city where y'all need a real nigga passport to enter Ms. Hill, we ain't goin' nowhere They gon' have to deal with us Make 'em uncomfortable Yeah
