The Actual

(2x)

Peep the architecture, think about your father

Peep the father figures, take a lot of pictures

It lasts longer

But what lasts longer than that? The actual

Game supernatural wigi

The kid too clean, squeaky

Windshield squeegee, see me?

Y'all think it's joke, joke, hehe

But it's inevitable

Like, dagger in a bro pee-pee

Spoke freely to see how the folks feel me

I don't even know the real me

So what makes you think you know the deal, b, feel me?

I'm not really concerned with the concerns

Of the people who can't even discern my concerns

I turn my concerns into words

I could earn a couple curds and whey with

Told I got a way with words

But it doesn't take much, I just say shit

Half my ancestors was stuck on a slave ship

The plan was, rob every label with the same clip

I know it sounds basic to some

But what's basic to some, to some others is actual

Peep the factual, professional sabbatical taker

I'm a Laker, a cake-baker, a money-maker

A funny-joker, a dummy-smoker

A global village idiot, killin' it

Tell me if you feelin' it

Peep the architecture, think about your father

Peep the father figures, take a lot of pictures

It lasts longer

But what lasts longer than that? The actual

Yo, think about your momma

Think about the drama

Think about the llamas

Think about the commas

That's the pause, the silence

The cause of violence

And in Queens, the kids ain't sippin' lean

They fiend, forever wean from a bag that's plasticine

And pass the green and stack the cream

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

Cash rule everything around everyone

Plenty guns, anyone could become anyone

Heem is special, get ahead with the rhyme

And put his pants on two legs at a time

At the bodega they play la mega Cormega

Everyone's spanish like Vega

New York is a hell of a town

(2x)

Peep the architecture, think about your father

Peep the father figures, take a lot of pictures

It lasts longer

But what lasts longer than that? The actual

Yo, abra kadabra magical, respect, unilateral

Universal magnetic, automatically attractin' you

These rapper dudes, mad are emotional or irrational

Use it motivation, they convergin' on the capital

International travel, unfurl and unravel my flag

I put it down year-round, check the calendar

The places I've never been I'm tryin' to get to

God the pilot, I'm the passenger

Whip it through the African diaspora

Followin' navigation like nations to a degree

Like a doctor or when I'm rockin', the education is key

Swallowin' medications like patients to a degree

Like a doctor give remedies, except the doctor is me

Uppers and downers help us to cope with the stuff around us

To drown us and get to livin' from over and under counters

I'm overdosin' on life, rollin' in the natural black

And only deal with actual facts, yeah
