Next tuesday
Arms akimbo
Had me a by-myself meetin, still speakin in code
Trust about as far as I can throw
This ain't the world you used to know
You ain't notice cause it change slow
Gasoline rainbow, Serengeti cold, Hell froze
Numb, watchin the price on these elbows go through the floor
The metropolis hum and glow, the tent city grow
The punchline the whole joke
The whole thing a hoax
We was whilin, we was starving
Nowadays we bump heads I likely beg ya pardon
woods x Siifu and Craven has to happen way more often
Aye, Aye, Aye c'mon, Aye, homie
Yeah, these niggas want it
On real, though
Ah, sh-on the real, nigga, what?
These niggas, Oh, s***, nigga
Gimme the, gimme that s***, gimme that motherfucka

Yooo that's what I'm sayin
No album has even touched it this year for me.
Def tap into Armand Hammer, but also check woods' and Elucid's solo catalogs as well.
