Cight
They told me bring that holy fire I said certainly
Way too close to the Sun (woop) Mercury
Not of this world so tell me what's the Earth to me
(God's child gimme strength) we ain't talkin' Hercules
Wifey told me "break it down", so I give 'em nursery
To let 'em know that every syllable got worth to me
I'm meanin' every word I speak I even trip up purposely
That's why they lock and pop on Call Me cce but they not murkin' me
Now break it down
Instrumentals turn to dirt with me (ha!)
Package that, distribute it for the world to see
They act confused wonder how this firm be workin' me (whaa)
Yet still I got the urgency (whaa) to burn up to the third degree (yea!)
Call it common courtesy, ain't nothin' but service
Really servin' what I'm birthed to be
Reppin' with my sisters and steppin' with my fraternity
Ridin' round with love and respect for all of eternity
I figure that's what church should be
Sittin' on the curb like the building straight conversin' with these verses
Keep it simple it don't matter what the version be
Perfect take rehearsin' but I'm goin' past the surface
Way further than what serpent sees, yo hol'up
I use the first person 'cause you never heard of me
Just look a little deeper though and you'll see what is stirred in me (what's that?)
Never would occur to me I'd be more than a hearse
My early years were a blur to me
We call that "university"
Paid a fee for what I gained for free
Talkin' "mind transplant" - no surgery
They was sure I'd be just a curse, deceased
It hurts to see the opposite person, preach!
Now break it down! I got that fire (woop) certainly
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the...way too way too close
Break it down! I got that fire (woop) certainly
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the...way too way too close...break it
Lemme get some water real quick
*cce clears throat*
More organic than some Bay crea herbivores (ha!)
Sound slappin' on the ground think we hurt the floor (blah!)
Treatin' obstacles like walkin' thru a curtain door (yea)
Finna learn today if you ain't been to church before (preach!)
There's somethin' different 'bout this type of conversation
Tryna live while tryna die another type of combination
Gettin' blessed up just to bless them what a "mindless" congregation (whaa)
""Less would be mine"" if you ain't catch that observation (ha ha)
People say I'm buzzin' I'm just sippin' carbonation (bzzz)
Eye on the target cannot lose my concentration
Whippin' real quick still remainin' calm and patient
'Cause God only knows what it really cost to make this
Drippin' from the veins condensation from the vine
Cll I'm givin' from my brain is revelations on my mind
You tryna run your own race but you racin' out of time
Where's the fun in that rerun that back retake it for divine
Break it down! I got that fire (woop) certainly
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the...way too way too close
Break it down! I got that fire (woop) certainly
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the Sun - Mercury
Way too close to the...way too way too close...break it
