Billy Woods Central Park Lyrics
Central Park by Billy Woods
[Intro]
I'm enjoying the day outside
I'm enjoying the day outside
[Verse]
It came in two pieces
No arm no breakdown
Still felt like gifts from Jesus
Water in a drought
If you scared/go in the house
Married to the game
Abusing my spouse
Bout it like Viktor Bout
Mums the word
Idiots open they mouth remove all doubt
I'm in the park when it's dark out
Twist the bark/hands of a surgeon
Never went the shark route
Eggs from a sturgeon/sour candy from an urchin
Ask not for whom The Raven's perching
It caws for you
Tower of London when I punch in
For him/they built a supermax under the dungeon
Panopticon octagon within an octagon
Rapped my way out like word is bond
My 10 percent was militant
Knowledge of self/nigga rich/negro recidivist
Lonely hearts club
Apparently I'm the only rapper that didn't fuck your bitch
Yet
In lieu of respect I'm now accepting certified checks
Wade through the crowd/swiper in hand
Shorties unconvinced when I say I'm with the band
[Verse]
Urban green spaces
Metal-halide lamps
Black Green Acres
Good fences/Pale neighbors
You can have the streets
Inconspicuously absent when them things start clapping
Green in the wood like absinthe
White flight like Aspen
The hustler in me wants to give back
Help kids with they fractions
Metric system/reading comprehension/theoretical math
Like if you give a dude a half
Whats the likelihood he brings it back
Pop quiz whats the line between being crazy high and a panic attack
Trick question
Told son
You can run with the best of them
Years later found eating Jim Crow in the colored section
You wrecked/Slow horses fast betting
Police sweep/little homies caught in the netting
You prolly could of done something but you didn't
Now that it's to late
A whole bunch of predictable hand wringing
Blame the family/blame myself/or blame the system
Fact is gun charges with two priors
My little cousins going to prison
[Outro]
I'm out here till I got now work left
I'm out here till I got now work left
I'm enjoying the day outside
I'm enjoying the day outside
[Verse]
It came in two pieces
No arm no breakdown
Still felt like gifts from Jesus
Water in a drought
If you scared/go in the house
Married to the game
Abusing my spouse
Bout it like Viktor Bout
Mums the word
Idiots open they mouth remove all doubt
I'm in the park when it's dark out
Twist the bark/hands of a surgeon
Never went the shark route
Eggs from a sturgeon/sour candy from an urchin
Ask not for whom The Raven's perching
