[00:00.000] 作曲 : Chauncey Hollis Jr./Dustin James Corbett/Joshua Strange/Lauryn Hill/Nas
[00:12.768]One city, one country, one state
[00:17.785]Some place to be nobody
[00:22.903]Some place to be
[00:25.680]Some place you wouldn’t know problems
[00:31.040]Yeah yeah
[00:33.043]
[00:33.905]If Chappelle moved to Ghana to find his peace then I’m rollin
[00:36.710]Where the service always roamin’ I’m packin’ my bags and goin’
[00:39.194]It’s a challenge in that, it’s a balancing act
[00:41.890]Visit beautiful places that’s more out here than the trap
[00:44.454]Houses in Long Island they always found ‘em
[00:47.222]House in the South a n*gga barely got out
[00:50.019]Sunny LA
[00:50.653]Remеmber calls with Dr. Dre
[00:52.244]He told mе ‘Don’t let the palm trees fool you n*gga, be safe’
[00:55.087]Me and my higher self, we often would speak
[00:57.515]Somehow we lost the connection, might meet at Joshua Tree
[00:59.996]And it’s been bothering me
[01:01.368]Too many wavy women, gotta log outta IG
[01:03.950]Can’t be my age DM’ing
[01:05.626]No kidding
[01:06.430]It’s hard to move like a civilian
[01:08.394]I write the truth ‘cuz I live it, not like you musical n*ggas
[01:10.611]We did it big and they bigots
[01:11.881]They’d rather shoot than write tickets
[01:13.219]What it feel like to go get it
[01:14.540]What it feel like to go missing
[01:15.871]
[01:16.521]In one city, one country, one state
[01:21.129]Some place to be nobody
[01:26.329]Some place to be
[01:28.931]Some place you wouldn’t know problems
[01:31.561]Some place to be nobody
[01:33.836]
[01:35.929]VERSE 2
[01:38.537]My dog bought a plane said ‘let’s go to Paris’
[01:40.410]That’s where baguettes are from
[01:41.772]French bread, that’s long and narrow
[01:42.926]I like the other definition, rectangular carats
[01:45.315]The concept of this song is rather esoteric
[01:48.203]This girl said in Grenada we should go get married
[01:50.942]Broke the meaning down of the Virgin Mary
[01:53.762]And you got your own place
[01:55.171]My favorite part of the night when you text me that you made it home safe
[01:58.362]I’m contemplatin’ at the homebase how I’m used to breakfast in the ghetto sippin’ OJ
[02:03.555]That’s a picture right there, a moment in time
[02:06.061]Before anybody wanted a photo of mine
[02:08.674]Before the internet energy and social decline
[02:11.355]Destroyed the vibe foolin’ us with the headlines (keepin’ us blind)
[02:13.967]Vultures eat you alive (the key to the signs)
[02:17.945]Wishin’ I’d find
[02:19.501]
[02:19.941]One city, one country, one state
[02:24.346]Some place to be nobody
[02:28.657]Some place to be
[02:32.198]Some place you wouldn’t know problems
[02:34.911]Some place to be nobody
[02:37.016]
[02:39.718]VERSE 3
[02:40.365]All my time has been focused on my freedom now
[02:43.580]Why would I join ‘em when I know that I can beat ‘em now
[02:46.172]They put their words on me
[02:47.745]And they can eat ‘em now
[02:48.974]That’s probably why they keep on tellin’ me I’m needed now
[02:51.441]They tried to box me out while takin’ what they want from me
[02:54.065]I spent too many years living too uncomfortably
[02:56.695]Making room for people who didn’t like the labor
[02:59.420]Or wanted the spoils, greedy, selfish behavior
[03:02.136]Now let me give it to you balanced and with clarity
[03:04.590]I don’t need to turn myself into a parody
[03:07.335]I don’t do the sh*t you do for popularity
[03:09.722]They clearly didn’t understand when I said I get out apparently
[03:12.552]My awareness like Keanu in The Matrix
[03:15.041]I’m savin’ souls and yall complainin’ ‘bout my lateness
[03:17.840]Now it’s illegal for someone to walk in greatness
[03:20.430]They want the same but they don’t take risks
[03:23.210]Now the world will get to see it’s own reflection
[03:25.848]And the anointed can pursue their own direction
[03:28.448]And if you’re wrong and you’re too proud to hear correction
[03:31.072]Walk into the hole you dug yourself f*ck a projection
[03:33.743]See me in my freedom taking all my land back
[03:36.378]They sent a lot against me thinking I’d just stand back
[03:38.997]I got my legs beneath me, I got my hands back
[03:41.637]A lotta people sabotaged they couldn’t stand that
[03:44.316]I turned the other cheek, I took blow after blow
[03:47.006]There’s so much crisis in the world ‘cuz you reap what you sow
[03:49.659]When you keep what you know is meant for someone else
[03:52.248]The ditch you dig for them you must just end up in yourself
[03:54.923]I’m in the secret place
[03:56.148]I keep a sacred space
[03:57.579]They keep showin’ their hands, but keep hidin’ their face
[04:00.175]If I’m a messenger you block me then you block the message
[04:02.802]So aggressive, the world you made is what you’re left with
[04:05.528]Pride and ego over love and truth is living reckless
[04:08.224]Yall n*ggas got a death wish, the stupid leaves me breathless
[04:10.811]
[04:19.799]Some place to be
[04:22.688]Yeah
[04:24.555]Ain’t duckin’ nothin’
[04:26.285]Just might have to build my own city where yall need a real n*gga passport to enter
[04:31.247]Ms. Hill, we ain’t goin’ nowhere
[04:33.876]They gon’ have to deal with us
[04:35.666]Make ‘em uncomfortable
[04:37.735]Yeah
