[Intro:]
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?”
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?”
Out here in Israel, yeah asking “is this real?”
"Eli"
[Verse 1:]
Holy land got my verses sounding like scriptures (scriptures)
Lyrics so vivid man just hope you get the picture (picture)
Know I’m abroad a lot, just wishing I was with ya (with ya)
Not a prophet or savior but god damn I’m on a mission, yeah who you kidding? (who you kiddin?)
Israel got me insightful
Name Jakob, where my disciples
Man lot of these rappers garbage but their bars recycled, ain’t alright yo
Here to make it right, show you I can write
Early mornings and late nights
Can’t pretend I said you one I like
Now got red eyes and red-eye flights
Hungry for success I'm tryna satisfy my appetite
Pops done his best so I could have a better life, he sacrificed
Ever since then everything do I kill it, need an alibi
Shoulda died at birth, I survived, am alive, here for a reason
New location every season, you the one I wanna be with
Write these songs, you’re my purpose, rhyme and reason
Reason being, you’re supernatural, yeah you divine
You a goddess, keep me faithful, and I’ll make you mine
[Hook:]
Out here in Israel (Tel-Aviv), asking “is this real?” (is it?)
Time is money don’t got time to waste, you not part of my business deal (nah)
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?” (is it?)
Steady working towards my dreams, tryna make all these visions real (real)
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?” (is it?)
School almost over, I’m getting older, got some decisions still (true)
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?”(is it?)
Feel like Wale, I am the gifted, got that ambitious feel
[Verse 2:]
Said I’m spiritual, know I’m lyrical, if you talkin’ shit I ain’t hearing you
Not watching out for me, just walking out on me, no need to be near you
No more fearing you, best you coulda had, this year in my bag cuz my fear to lose
Left me in my time of need, now you needing me, good thing I disappeared from you
I finally found happiness, I’m at my best, pushed through all of the stress
Plugged in and hit the connect, walking up in here demanding respect, came for the
Check, came to collect, CT Cut-Throat, we come for the necks
Bitch I’m up next, you’re in my past can’t go where I’m going to next
What an upset, underdog turned to top dog, you just a pet
2014 I left for London (London)
I returned home, you treat me like nothing
2016 flew out to Peru
Everything I did was always for you (true)
Then I hit Balkans, we stopped the talking
Only came home to see you see me go
20-1-7, I’m back in London
Dropped my first tape I was lovin’ it
Head back to Boston where I was saucin’
Got my new job knew pond I was crossin’
20-1-8, dropped second tape
Leaving from Logan plane I gotta take (yep)
Patience a virtue, Knew I’d have to wait I’m gonna be great I know this is fate
[Hook:]
Out here in Israel (Tel-Aviv), asking “is this real?” (is it?)
Time is money don’t got time to waste, you not part of my business deal (nah)
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?” (is it?)
Steady working towards my dreams, tryna make all these visions real (real)
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?” (is it?)
School almost over, I’m getting older, got some decisions still (still)
Out here in Israel, asking “is this real?” (is it?)
Feel like Wale, I am the gifted, got that ambitious feel
[Verse 3:]
Not religious but God is my witness used to pray for better days I think they came (yeah)
Ever since I came to 203 from the 502 nothing’s been the same
Hopeless romantic whose heartsick, still gonna love you regardless, a different artist
Hardships I’ve had but I’m glad where I’m at, considering where my life started (started)
I came from Antigua
Different cloth last of a dying breed we are not equals
All of the smoke, here is your “Ether”
Never around but we’ll never be square
Understand (understand), if I’m not there I can still be the man
Remember, just a Mayan whose minding his bands
Used to be in one when I was at Hand
