Golden Rules、Yasiin Bey - Never Die
I got to feel the sunshine
I got to feel the thoughts
of your mind on mine
Then I'll never die
Beneath the darkened sky
Excuse my babble I talk
until I got lengthy
Certain topics get
the best of my interest
don't mean I'm friendly
Running like a leaky faucet
See we toss it to the side
throw it in the closet
Very rare for me to lose my cool
We in a school full of stools
Sitting at a table dissecting
these facts like they ain't true
Who told you you can get away
with telling these lies
Before you swallow oxygen
look me in the eyes
Reflection in the mirror
we don't recognize it
Paint a canvas in my image
Put a frame around it
Don't even hang it
cause I'm looking like
This supposed to be me
Analyzing every logistic
how can I fix it
Changing everything
but what I need help with
See now I'm tripping
Now I'm fishing
for a crack in the ceiling
so I can ditch it
Rules golden like the mouth
that I speak with to bite the tension
Count on me to let you down
cause that's realistic Rules
I got to feel the sunshine
I got to feel the thoughts
of your mind on mine
Then I'll never die
Beneath the darkened sky
I started reading notes
I wrote a couple months ago
Still the same dude same angle
what you rushing for
'Cause every second
in the hour count a lot
Pencil for my test
and had a lesson you forgot
Nobody owe you nothing we tardy
show up with dozens
Should be on my shoulder weight
and like bussing tables or something
The fact you listen mean
I'm doing well
Did I mention you could
change the channel by yourself
This a station no commercial
gotta opinions probably hurt you
Better late than never follow me
gona miss your curfew
Plain open like a busy Monday
Day's closing like your favorite bakery
and it ain't making money
I'm kind of funny
if you like to laugh
And people vent
when they see me
I soak it up like
Never one to judge another
when I have to use a mirror
that you looking they appear
to be in error
I got to feel the sunshine
I got to feel the thoughts
of your mind on mine
Then I'll never die
Beneath the darkened sky
They say the chief of the tribe
took a handsome bribe
Now his face is everywhere
but he's hard to find
Super prime on the grind
in the modern times
Gains from the game in exchange
for a sober mind
And young'un you can hug the block
but it won't hug back
Until it do and it squeeze
and your spine go snap
Like feet chasing paper
then his lungs just collapse
Ain't no freedom at the trap
it's as simple as that
Pay a hater no mind because
that don't matter
Why whip slaves
when you can just kill master
Slaves getting brave
to guard masters' interests
They too shall feel it
once we snap the clip in
So no threats only oaths
get well or catch hell
Shop open get dosed medina hours
baby we never close
And how ever the banks
go this balance don't broke
Salaam folks
I got to feel the sunshine
I got to feel the thoughts
of your mind on mine
Then I'll never die
Beneath the darkened sky
