[00:01.472]I have sung storms to sleep
[00:04.979]I have made the crashing rocks move away from our ship

[00:23.660]Around the Atlas got respect
[00:25.689]Weight of the world on my shoulders ain't drop it yet
[00:30.151]Got respect

[00:45.742]Many tours locked at war won't be troubled by a witch hunt
[00:48.672]Calm ones incited to palm jums or fist pump
[00:51.858]Decided quiet but desire what the rich want
[00:54.576]Torn steadily, longevity or a quick stunt?
[00:57.934]Bless you nephew, don't want you doing what I did
[01:00.310]Get honest earnin' instead of what I was learning in a locked crib
