Discovery Lyrics by MIKE

longest day, shortest night

2016

[Verse 1]
There's black kids dying in your face
But you worried 'bout some niggas that be dancing on the train
You got a bag of Special K but, they been baggin' Special K
The whole uptown got died in a day
And I was frightened but I stayed
It's too many niggas that be braggin' bout the cake
It don't even matter 'bout what happens at the lake
Walking up a mountain full of snakes
Done showing love, I been drowning in haze
For some pounds we surrounded by my mates, lay
Lounging at the gates, pray
Say I hope the ones who wish death upon me
Reach the ground and decay
I just spit into the mic and watch the sound go astray
And the boundless are playin'
I worked too hard for these niggas to amount to the same
If they reach my goals, then I'm drowning in shame

[Hook: Toni Braxton and MIKE]
When you discover
Exploring power
The world as we know it
But you had to go and blow it
When you discover
Exploring power
The world as we know it
But you had to go and blow it

[Verse 2]
Graduation, I'll be speaking for my class
We did a lot we didn't think that we could pass
Had to stay late and read H by the Ave
Face of fatigue and the playful are sad
J look at me the same way as my dad
Greatness could be a thing of the past
So why the fuck we running from my past?
I was gunnin' for the first, she was running for the last

[Verse 3]
I guess it means something to us all
I need this, I need that
But I don't need nothin', if it's coming from my moms
Need to get it on my lone
Mommy out there stressing on her own
She told me I ain't press up with the tone
I was raised in the village, thinking I could never be alone
That was dumb of me I know
Pick my feet up out the puddle when I grow
New York cold, with the bubble in the snow
Never in a huddle with my foes
Never mix the hustle with the boast
Boofy hit a lick and now his buckle lookin' gold
Goofy with the strips, tryna 'cause trouble with my bros
Get strong from the mother to your toes

[Hook: Toni Braxton]
When you discover
Exploring power
The world as we know it
But you had to go and blow it
