The steak is tasteless and the air is stale Fallin' for a hummingbird, wonder who discover her I want to touch her, but the feelin' of it's much too pure, yeah And the lamb belong to Mother Earth Forget it for a second, the corrupted gonna turn us into customers The garden started from the dirt, we need to quench the thirst You want the answers?

Shit, my mind's playin' tricks on my vision, see the picture changin' Switch arrangement, watch the beauty turn to pixelation There's nothin' pure as the birth of an idea I know what I fear, I feel it's safe to die here, so I close my eyes and raise my arms in triumph If there's answers somewhere, then I got time to find 'em, yeah I been hidin' inside of my dreams Was born an angel, they tryin' to buy my wings [Refrain] I'm a king, not a expert But you connected to the network [Outro] It's the network A'ight
