Sometimes it feels like
The world spin opposite of the way you spin
Sometimes you just gotta create your own
A world

I been on a mission, man
I been on a mission lately
Some sticky situations I just grinder down to make it
I’ve never been to prison, man
Still don’t know what it is to break free, no, no
Now I live my vision plan, no need to hallucinate
These niggas be slipping, man, I think they gon’ make me angry
If they would’ve listened I could’a kept my cool today
Evil got me tripping, man, I don’t think that you can say, no, no
You’re in my position, man, you just couldn’t hit the brakes

I can’t believe it
Word on the street’s one of my soldiers talking to them alphabet boys
My first reaction is to find out who, where and why
Put the word out and bring ‘em to me now, but keep ‘em alive
Put some bread on his head and make sure he’ll rot
Cause this is something I ain’t tolerating
Plus I’m getting impatient
I’m fainting o’ breaking for real, but I’m salivating
My phone rung it’s at the seven o’clock sharp

They said they had ‘em in one o’ my warehouses by the dock
Jumped in the Benz with a ill look, no grin
With a still hook, I’ma ‘bout to do this coward in
When I got there DD was already tied up
Pillow case on his head and the blood stains dried up
The moment I been waiting for is finally here
I get to see who done betrayed me
Snatched the pillow case off his wig and sold him in
Now it's time to face me
Who I see, my little niece boyfriend I seen
He begging me not to kill him
I told ‘em I gotta
As I poured the gasoline, I thought about my little niece
I know she love him, but he a snail
He tryna push love in jail
Take me from my wife and kids
Why should I spare this maggot life and limb
Man, it is what it is
He chose to play this game
I lit the match and watched his friend go up in flames

Get emotion
We in motion
Make commotion
I can feel
How we roll on
Keep it going
Let it go out
Take the wheel
So open your eyes
I'm amazed, I know
So open your eyes
To the things I know
We rode it for life
Put the game on me
If we don't get it right
Put the blame on me

Guess again
Thought that you could pull the word over a veteran
I would pull the trigger but I'm thinking that it's better I, better I
Burn you like a cinder, let me share the light, share the light
(Yeah)
Gasoline
Pour it in my tank
Now it's absorbing in your skin
Man, this fool is dimmer and I wish she had a better mind, better mind
Where you talking now you were regretting mind, get it right
I been cutting loose ends
Why your lips so loose talking
I could f*ck with new friends too
Gotta get it with my new
I could be a nuisance
But not if you use caution
Been committing new sins
It's time to write some look for my bitch

Flume

A flume is a human-made channel for water in the form of an open declined gravity chute whose walls are raised above the surrounding terrain, in contrast to a trench or ditch. Flumes are not to be confused with aqueducts, which are built to transport water, rather than transporting materials using flowing water as a flume does. Flumes route water from a diversion dam or weir to a desired materiel collection location. Many flumes took the form of wooden troughs elevated on trestles, often following the natural contours of the land. Originating as a part of a mill race, they were later used in the transportation of logs in the logging industry, known as a log flume. They were also extensively used in hydraulic mining and working placer deposits for gold, tin an… more »
