I never dreamt of what we’d find 
If life [bad word] away some time 
Would you remind me? 
Would you remind me?

So, I’m a little late at it y’all 
I guess I’m happy that I made it all 
You see, in retrospect, I was fated to fall 
Living fast like my face was on the way to the wall 
“Here lies…” you know the rest 
But not in peace 
Who am I to suggest that we’re having it now 
The babies go away - are mostly black and brown 
Like we’re allergic to some higher wisdom 
Dr. West called it nihilism 
Like, “I don’t read, but I’m fly right? Get money! Get high! That’s what I like!” 
The greatest trick that the devil ever showed me 
Was a trick that the devil NEVER showed me 
Like he’d reveal those tricks 
What isn’t broken ought not be fixed 
Look y’all! There’s a rabbit in his [bad word] cap 
Magician in your midst – what type of trick is that?! 
So defiant that they took every secret of the science and they put it in a book 
Every secret of the science and they put it in a book 
Right in front of you 
And so it goes…

I never dreamt of what we’d find 
If life [bad word] away some time 
Would you remind me? 
Would you remind me?

I never dreamt of what we’d find 
If life [bad word] away some time 
Would you remind me? 
Would you remind me?
