[Chorus: Mike, Tobias Defoe, Lincoln]
Uptown, downtown, midtown, heya
Uptown, downtown, midtown, playas
Alright, alright, you see the signs
In time you'll find maybe there’s life
[Verse 1: Lincoln, Mike, Tobias Defoe]
[Lincoln]
Fade into center stage with the renegades as the play of a better fate marries the applause
[Mike]
Gaze to the setting changes in fettered faces and blaze with the elevation to be a god
[Tobias Defoe]
Shades go from light to gray as the curtains raise to display that the great escape seems to be a fraud
[Mike, Tobias Defoe, Lincoln]
Wait there’s another take must be a mistake foul play set the record straight bury the facade
[Chorus: Mike, Tobias Defoe, Lincoln]
Uptown, downtown, midtown, heya
Uptown, downtown, midtown, playas
Alright, alright, you see the signs
In time you'll find maybe there’s life
[Bridge: Lincoln, Tobias Defoe, Mike]
Welcome to the final show you made it just in time
Here in my kaleidoscope are fragments of my mind
A light of hope is bound to show through words of our design
Sounds of color shades of joy collide to Set you free
(Welcome to the final show you made it just in time
Here in my kaleidoscope are fragments of my mind)
I believe the light in you reflects the light in me
(Welcome to the final show you made it just in time
Here in my kaleidoscope are fragments of my mind)
The rise of voice in unison could bring us all to peace, please
[Verse 2: Tobias Defoe]
Fill the colosseum full of roses
In Louis V the gladiator poses
Saturate the colors and the motives
And when they rot pick flowers from their corpses
Juice drips from the bitter fruit
Extract of the same root (yeah)
[Verse 3: Lincoln]
Look at what they gave us bitter flavors
They enslaved us and chained us so they could rape us
Ain’t no love for thy neighbor they tried to tame us
But the spark from the whip brought the fucking flames up
On his own fucking wave where you catch him on
Used to bell-hop for the upper echelon
Bring em out to the kings now you head is gone
Harlem nights sounding like the Harlem Renaissance
[Verse 4: Mike]
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
Stir em up in the pot an it still make crack
A will for the wish
Fulfilled for the pack
Burning up from the shock and they still laid back
For the king don’t settle and the peasant don’t meddle so don’t mind it if I put the highest settin’ on the kettle
Prefer to eat it heated stimulatin’ for the mental
Receive it if I need it but the means be never gentle
Shit is oh so pretty
And oh so witty
And got these other niggas lookin oh so silly
Hold no pity
The stone cold city
Finna bow down when we blow those ceilings
So talk yo shit if you want no witness
We ball till finish you could call it fun fact
If y’all gon’ get it we all gon get it
If y’all ain’t widdit I suggest you buss back cuz
[Chorus: Mike, Tobias Defoe, Lincoln]
Uptown, downtown, midtown, heya
Uptown, downtown, midtown, playas
Alright, alright, you see the signs
In time you'll find maybe there’s life

[Refrain: Mike, Tobias Defoe, Lincoln]
You ain’t really want to fuck with us
You ain’t really want to fuck with us
You ain’t really want to fuck with us
You ain’t really want to fuck with us
You ain’t really want to fuck with us (uh huh uhh- oh hoh ohh)
[Verse 5: Mike, Tobias Defoe, Lincoln]

Wait there’s another take must be a mistake foul play set the record straight bury the facade
