The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it
Let these words be your earth and moon you consume every message
As I lead this army make room for mistakes and depression
And with that being said my n—-a, let me ask this question
When s–t hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When s–t hit the fan (one two, one two)
When s–t hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When s–t hit the fan, is you still a fan?
The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it
Let these words be your earth and moon you consume every message
As I lead this army make room for mistakes and depression
And with that being said my n—-a, let me ask this question
When s–t hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When s–t hit the fan, is you still a fan?
Want you look to your left and right, make sure you ask your friends
When s–t hit the fan, is you still a fan?

Written 12/11/14

I disappeared on a clear day,
No signal left for you,
All move forward, devoid of clues,
No last words to say,
Memories fleeting like the last play,
Nothing to prevent your moving on too,

Migration from a time we all knew,
Time forgotten, life no longer on display,
A decision and change were okay,
But I could not share those thoughts anew,
And now our moments too far and too few,
Our divergence clearly now allayed,

[Hook: Action Bronson]
Why you always all on my back?
Why you gotta do me like that?
Why you gotta act like a b—h when I’m with you?
Baby girl I’m blue

[Verse 1: Action Bronson]
Because you treat me like s–t
I paid for the bed and never even slept in it
I paid for that crib and never stepped foot in
And now somebody else is eating all the pudding
Things change now my dashboard wooden
All black Benz like a young Doc Gooden
Thug shades cause I’m stone crazy
Girl, we grown, stop playing on my phone, baby
All your childish attempts to make me angry fall short
Which only fuels the rage you have, because you have nothing
Understandable, I’m shining brilliant with 5 Brazilians
There were times I used to hide my feelings
Now I’m butt naked in the Lamborghini
And motherf–kers can’t see me
Wait ’till the chick see me on TV, I make the s–t look easy
Who would’ve thought I hit you right back?

[Hook: Action Bronson]
Why you always all on my back?
Why you gotta do me like that?
Why you gotta act like a b—h when I’m with you?
Baby girl I’m blue

Sonic movement, in the dark recesses of the
Lotion baking in the heat of the tent,
Desert heat giving way to waking,
Alarm clock,
Hidden beer, ice melting within an hour,
Food trucks and Spicy Pie,
Late night walks, and the sounds of debauchery,

Coachella,
Beautiful morning sunrise over vast Mountains,
A tent village of multicolored hues,
Our favorite artists performing,
Cheering while emoting, applause not optional,
