Chorus:
From the top to the bottom
Yeah they know the drop has got 'em

But they don't know that they will fall
From the top to the bottom
Yeah they know the drop has got 'em

But they don't know that we shall move on
From the top to the bottom
Yeah they know the drop has got 'em

But they don't know that they will fall
From the top to the bottom
Yeah they know the drop has got 'em

But they don't know that we shall move on



Live strong, $#&@ the pity or strife,
A lonely walk on the platform, like is this really city life?
We don't know, see the jury's still out

They're bound to be hung soon, we're pressin on that high noon
Girl waiting for the train, she's got a shirt that says addict,
Wanna be struggler, baby, I will show you a habit

I leave my shades on, regardless of the rainclouds,
I can't let these people read me, cuz I'm too proud
Make commentary for the audience of fire

And translate through telepathy my conclusions and why I see
Cuz Jack the Ripper has returned to London Town
Wearin hoodies and flat-brims, another man down

I marinade in the heat of the moment
Cross myself with my fingers cuz I'm fearful of omens
Cuz lady karma hasn't callen or written

I stare out the window and I smile as I exhale, women
Materialize to try to see what's in store, I'm like
Nah, nah, baby, it ain't me that you're looking for

Another day, another dollar to spend
Another scholar to friend
Another scholar of trends

See we sit and debate about potentials and fate
Until we no longer can look each other straight in the face, and
When we pour all this coffee and cigarettes

We gonna leave the lights on and make some sultry silhouettes
I know that God gave rock and roll to you
So hip-hop is mine, hip-hop is mine

As you can tell, I'm possessive as ever
Greed ends and salutations your fair-weather fan in the rainiest weather
See I know that God gave rock and roll to you

So hip-hop is mine, hip-hop is mine
As you can tell, I'm possessive as ever
Greed ends and salutations your fair-weather fan in the rainiest weather

(Repeat chorus)

The long kiss goodnight was the way I awoke

Flat broke, hung over from the whiskey and !@%!e, but see,
The problem is, I drink whiskey and soda
So you do the math, I think we're saying it just shows to go ya

Outside looks like summer but smells like rain
Strained eyes greet the afternoon, I mix the two with a spoon and see
I'm thinking the park, she's thinking the river

I think we're thinking too much and now it's making me shiver
So where do you see yourself in five to ten years? I don't know
Hopefully using the correct proportion of my mouth to my ears, cuz

See, as of late, I talk more than I know,
So many answers get spoke, but they're talking too slow
Around here we like our theories well done

Which ironically is rare so how the $#&@ do I order one?
See desperate times call for desperate measures
And these guilty minds will seek guiltier pleasures, y'dig?

So you make the scrapbooks
I'll keep making the memories
And keep $#&@ing the enemies

And keep loving you chemically
I swear to God, I think I got an imbalance
Which at first I deemed a problem but I'm realizing's a talent

A valiant effort, babe, I'm a sucker for bashful
And I'm magna### laude when the A is for $$#hole, so
You tell me, are we the chicken or the egg?

I've never acted, so I think she really wants me to break my leg
Whatever though, I'll take it all as a charm
Return with your moon held over my head with some broken arms
Let's not split hairs over my fractured limbs
But instead accept the fact we're perfect cuz we're not twins

Whatever though, I'll take it all as a charm
Return with your moon held over my head with some broken arms
Let's not split hairs over my fractured limbs
But instead accept the fact we're perfect cuz we're not twins
(Repeat chorus)
