[ V e r s e 1 : T R 3 S ] This the perfect time to call my momma Tell her I'm never coming home because I'm tired of the drama I miss Jordan And you and Keisha aint even talkin no mo So why I cant pick up the phone and call my own cousins for This just irks me Don't chop that family tree it don't deserve it Let nature run it's course and do it's work please or deforestation gon have us all extinct at least we'll be at peace and you can TRY AND CHANGE THE PAST But it'll never work Cause you don't know the secrets to this universe And people wont respect you till you're in a hearse with at least six tracks that lack passion, but they all went platinum In half the time it took for me to write this lil album If in the pin or mausoleum gon be my only outcome How come In the pen and independent was never an option? "Stop it, you really think them lil beats gon make you any profit?" It's not kid, unless you a prophet with a lil guap up in your pocket for a Prophet or an OP-1 What happened to doing it just for fun? Watched people get to Hollyweird and hate who they've become With all the metal, all the gear, the solid snakes are on the run But hey, at least they made their little funds While my broke self still on the PS1 But I'm done Havin fun with that I'm the black Jimmy Neutron been in the lab Cooking experiments That you gotta blast I am an instrument, sent from the highest To tell you I'm fire And they all liars Spitting that bias No more surprises Say they gon change your future But they'll never change your priors So go head make amends before you gotta say goodbye Yeah, yeah [Bridge: TR3S] THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS SAY GOODBYE (GONNA MISS YOU) Yeah [Verse 2: TR3S] But I'm bout to blast off Only option I had left, cause all of the alternatives had me six feet under asphalt And I know it's cash fault Not yours But Imma miss them home made meals. spaghetti, and them tacos And Imma miss my old lady I hope she see the plot though Cause she the only one who walked a mile in these zapatos brother I mean That meant a lot to me brother I hope she knows that I love her I'm finna change the whole game up with just one push of a button [Outro: GAIA] Hi, we've been waiting on you for quite some time "Who are you?" Who me? that's easy. I'm your great, great, great, granddaughter Gaia And I rhyme from time to time And you might be surprised to find out that Todays times are not quite like the ones that you had But more kind of doo-dads and lost facts And DJ Screw's back (back, back) And who else is back? And everybody's black, cant forget that Thats kinda whack but I need your help to fix all of this please This is just getting kind of out of control man Government got us under a scope man, please I need some help from the old man.

[Verse 1: Gaia] Man grandpops, heard you used to be the man grandpops Now it's some things you gotta understand old man They killed the consious from within And left us in a dang box or a coffin Imma only say this one time Cause I dont get to say it often Cause they listening to us So I hope you listen to my proposition And Ima grand the unconqured power of hindsight So you can go back in time and start changing our lives And Imma stay in my lane and keep creating things that's probably gon eventually end up shifting the zeitgeist cause That's what art do I mean it used to but nowadays the greatest rapper ever's just a cartoon And it's really just some white dude who use art to excuse his use of that N-I-G-G-A, we reclaimed He got dreads upon his head aint got no shame in appropriation And they pushing that Eugenics tryna stop us from procreating Tryna kill our population While they throw us in them cages And a lot of people sitting steady waiting for extinction baby [Verse 2: TR3S] Look I dont know what you calling me grandpops for I'm not old, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though I time traveled, just to get through the battles But it's a couple things that Imma need to know about like If I became a household name I'm sorry yall, I promise I aint doing it just for fame That's just something on my brain Another thing is Am I famous? Hold up wait, nigga I think that's the same thing Something sat on my brain Shattered my heart Niggas all felt that pain And to manage that ache they go grab that A.K. To try to maintain They tryna make a way Yeah, you see they start slangin, gangbangin Doin anything to get a dollar in the bank They just tryna make cents, they just tryna make change Man this shit dont make sense, I'm just tryna make a change Today. [Chorus] Thats why you do what it takes Cause life aint no movie And it aint no breaks, cant fast forward to when your life's past poor You wanna get to heaven should've got your ass a passport. Yeah Thats why you do what it takes Cause life aint no movie And it aint no breaks, cant fast forward to when your life's past poor You wanna get to heaven should've got your ass a passport. [Outro: TR3S & GAIA] Gaia I'm in this bitch right now We in this bitch right now In this bitch right now We in this bitch right now Turn this bitch right up And turn your shit right down Thats why you do what it takes Cause life aint no movie And it aint no breaks, cant fast forward to when your life's past poor You wanna get to heaven should've got your ass a passport. Gaia It's Tre in this bitch right now We in this bitch right now.
