jimmy nice - at a glance lyrics

[intro: jimmy nice]
uh

[verse 1: jimmy nice]
fortunes for the unfortunate, that’s just how we rollin’
takin’ notes from my elders that taught me how to fold ‘em
in and out of the family home, so mama scold him
give me five minutes, i sit ‘em down and i f+ckin’ mould him
early teens i fought my way out
twenty+to+2017, tried to snort my way out
nowadays i’m dealin’ with dramas that i can talk my way out of
i got to walk it, got a mortgage on my house now
the virtuous man contents himself with dreamin’
which the wicked man does in actual life
reality bites deeper when you don’t have no seat on your bike
food in your fridge, gas in your whip, a mattress at night
imagine my life and times as the hemispheres flipped
in somebody else’s body, i don’t get to steer sh+t
see, i was round six like aubrey graham’s home
or east atlanta zone, when my independence flipped
mama’s workin’ double shift, got time on my hands
if i can learn to double my dollars then i can advance
if i can truly stay out of trouble then i can advance
this is my audio legacy, my life at a glance (let’s go)

[chorus (condensed): jimmy nice & rick james]
look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
divine light ignited fires in the congregation
a star was born far beyond the constellations
[interlude: jimmy nice]
far too kind
thank you, thank you, honestly, no, please

[verse 2: jimmy nice]
my screen time’s down from last week, i’m winnin’
i peek at the percentage of my potential for sinnin’, and it’s
hard to tell if we’re drownin’ or swimmin’, ain’t it?
the times we are in (define what is “in”)
well, i get it in on beats, fans get it in the stands
writers want it in the streets, children need it in their hands
my internal monologue is in a state of flux
‘bout our insecurities, inner souls and instagram (‘gram)
that influence is cheap, my disdain for the celebrity in chief
spans greater than a paper trail of tweets
decided i should speak less and ask more questions
my reconnect internally returned me to my essence
i’m effortless with the vocal, my evidence anecdotal
if my mazda gets totalled this acts as my testimony
rappers please save your prayers and condolences, you don’t know me
never say goodbye, just wave hi to the two+point+oh me, uh

[chorus: jimmy nice, rick james & samples]
look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
divine light ignited fires in the congregation
a star was born far beyond the constellations
kids on chemicals, a war on drugs
none more potent than reality and love
[outro: jimmy nice & samples]
love
love
love
death—death
love (love [?])
love
death from above

[segue: jimmy nice]
in the pursuit of a childlike fascination
i head outside and step inside my imagination
just as i finally arrive at my place of wonder
here come h+ll’s winter to take me under (mad idea)
