My Brother, The Wind Lyrics by Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist

[Intro]
Crazy Nigerian wallet…
[?]

[Verse]
Nigerian wallet made out of snake
Long face in the bank, short change
This tour would feel like forty states
Why we goin’ home, patrol the gate
What’s goin’ on, I’m in the mall with the Jordan face
High as Hell
Keep the reggie, off a seventy of wedding cake
Tan Cressi’ chain heavenly, the blessings came
Might stretch a bit, but never cave on the bends
Barricades, bloodstained messages I never sent
My brain left, see what’s left, on the left
Etch A Sketch what I live
Shiverin’, erasin’ what I did
Opaque, be complacent as the wind
My brother, like Sun Ra, we all need you
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Dark legions, what’s the run-down
Lump sum’s a piece of summer, the guns now
And let me hit the spliff before that bitch run out
I heard it’s up to us, more than enough
I know I’m playin’ to tough crowds
Convert the data ’til our races can whip the bus ’round
We ’bout to shake the taco truck down
Nah, I’m playin’ point a couple at the buss down
I’m on La Brea sayin’
