(Hit-Boy)

One city, one country, one stateSome place to be nobody

Some place to be

Some place you wouldn′t know probably

Yeah, yeah

If Chappelle moved to Ghana to find his peace then I'm rolling

Where the service always roaming, I′m packing my bags and going

It's a challenge in that, it's a balancing act

Visit beautiful places that′s more out here than the trap

Houses in Long Island, they always found ′em

House in the South, a nigga barely got out

Sunny L.A., remember calls with Dr. Dre

He told me, "Don't let the palm trees fool you, nigga, be safe"

Me and my higher self, we often would speak

Somehow we lost the connection, might meet at Joshua Tree

And it′s been bothering me, too many wavy women

Gotta log outta IG, can't be my age DM′ing (haha)

No kidding, it's hard to move like a civilian

I write the truth ′cause I live it, not like you musical niggas

We did it big and they bigots, they'd rather shoot than write tickets

What it feel like to go get it? What it feel like to go missing?

In one city, one country, one state

Some place to be nobody

Some place to be

Some place you wouldn't know probably

Some place to be nobody

My dawg bought a plane, said, "Let′s go to Paris"

That′s where baguettes are from, French bread that's long and narrow

I like the other definition, rectangular carats

The concept of this song is rather esoteric

This girl said in Grenada we should go get married

Broke the meaning down of the Virgin Mary

And you got your own place, my favorite part of the night

When you text me that you made it home safe (I′m home)

I'm contemplating at the home base

How I′m used to breakfast in the ghetto sipping OJ

That's a picture right there, a moment in time

Before anybody wanted a photo of mine

Before the internet, energy and social decline

Destroyed the vibe, fooling us with the headlines

(Keeping us blind) vultures eat you alive

(Take heed to the signs) wishing I′d find

One city, one country, one state

Some place to be nobody

Some place to be

Some place you wouldn't know probably

Some place to be nobody (life)

All my time has been focused on my freedom now

Why would I join 'em when I know that I can beat ′em now?

They put their words on me, and they can eat ′em now

That's probably why they keep on telling me I′m needed now

They tried to box me out while taking what they want from me

I spent too many years living too uncomfortably

Making room for people who didn't like the labor

Or wanted the spoils, greedy, selfish behavior

Now let me give it to you balanced and with clarity

I don′t need to turn myself into a parody

I don't, I don′t do the shit you do for popularity

They clearly didn't understand when I said I get out apparently

My awareness like Keanu in The Matrix

I'm saving souls and y′all complaining ′bout my lateness

Now it's illegal for someone to walk in greatness

They want the same sh-, they want the same sh-, but they don′t take risks

Now the world will get to see its own reflection

And the anointed can pursue their own direction

And if you're wrong, and you′re too proud to hear correction

Walk into the hole you dug yourself, fuck a projection

See me in my freedom taking all my land back

They sent a lot against me, thinking I'd just stand back

I got my legs beneath me, I got my hands back

A lot of people sabotaged, they couldn′t stand that

I turned the other cheek, I took blow after blow

There's so much crisis in the world 'cause you reap what you sow

When you keep what you know is meant for someone else

The ditch you dig for them, you might just end up in yourself

I′m in the secret place, I keep a sacred space

They keep showing their hands, but keep hiding their face

If I′m a messenger, you block me then you block the message

So aggressive, the world you made is what you're left with

Pride and ego over love and truth is f- reckless

Y′all niggas got a death wish, the stupid leaves me breathless

Some place to be, yeah

Ain't ducking nothing

Just might have to build my own city

Where y′all need a real nigga passport to enter

Ms. Hill, we ain't going nowhere

They gon′ have to deal with us

Make 'em uncomfortable, hahaha, yeah
