Quotable Lyrics:
I said fall back
It’s a big shot, it’s a big shot, fall back
It’s a rim shot, need a big stack, fall back
It’s a big back, causing big shock, fall back
It’s a head shot
A celebration, liberation for the nation
Conversation, but in moderation
Need some patience, need some patience
No peace for the generations
They have us livin’ in hallucinations
Don’t wanna put us in the right directions
Don’t wanna give us all the right affections
Maybe, I should love you
But I really don’t want to
What you do with that depends on you
‘Cause I’m only here to inform you
