    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

    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.
