Crushed in space, pushed through time,
Moving cautious, obey all signs,
Warning lights, they flash and blind,
Make a statement, but don't define,
See I'm on it, make you want it,
You ain't on it, don't condone it,
Don't you keep form try to clone it,
Deep down inside you want it.

What you want, what you got, how you deal with it,
And you get what you got, gotta live with it,
In the spot and it's hot, getting real with it,
Don't you know that beneath this flow lies scorn, shameful past form,
Many regrets like the day I was born,
Told myself I'd be reformed; first put to death, take time to mourn,
Be the ace in a folded hand, stare in the face of a scolded man,
Come up missing on the back of a soda can,
Go out like only no soldier can,
Sermons blazing through the dark, I'm a prince in the Paisley Park,
Through the sense, I really play my part,
Took my time before I got my start,
Now the harvest right for a brother like me,
Who the artist type, who love a culture through all the hype,
Hits and strike, my kiss is deadly, and it be like...

Crushed in space, pushed through time,
Moving cautious, obey all signs,
Warning lights, they flash and blind,
Make a statement, but don't define,
See I'm on it, make you want it,
You ain't on it, don't condone it,
Don't you keep from try to clone it,
Deep down inside you want it.

Get up, on it, don't you clone it,
Deep down inside you want it,
These boys have cut the fool,
These boys from the south got nothing to lose,
On a pedigree track can't help but move,
When Grits spit fire ain't nothing but true,
When you come down to it, ain't about the loot,
Gotta take you down through it when I'm in the mood,
Gotta face the fame, hate that change,
Rearrange and break that chain,
Let us take you beyond the your reign,
Let us show you what you became,
That's the goal: get it in your soul,
Shape and mould and make new from old,
Your worth is more than you've been told,
Ya'll kings and queens, not pimps and whores,
This that real, this that raw,
That break your back and can't shake it off,
Exclusive round all inclusive,
Dead hard to find if you lose it.

Crushed in space, pushed through time,
Moving cautious, obey all signs,

You ain't on it, don't condone it,
Don't you keep from try to clone it,
Deep down inside you want it,
Crushed in space, pushed through time,
Moving cautious, obey all signs,

See I'm on it, make you want it,
You ain't on it, don't condone it,
