Twas the night before the reckoning
And all through the house
Not an emcee was safe,
Duck or get punched in your mouth
I’m not even a rapper
I’m so much more than a rapper
I’m a God to the backpackers
If he says I’m not, he’s an actor
He’s a liar, he’s fake, he’s a phony, he’s a fraud
I’ll kill you all, pull up on me
I head shot emcees, I bypass they vest
I don’t need the awards, you already know who’s the best
Nathaniel
Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
But only if you stay in your lane
Only if you stay in your lane
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
I don’t wanna say this again
I don’t wanna have to say this again
You must be hard of hearing
Dustpan for you dumb dumbs
Cause when I snap on tracks it’ll turn you back to the dirt that you come from
I marvel at you actors, I marvel at you rappers
You a lie, I run the gauntlet of you cappers
Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
But only if you stay in your lane
Only if you stay in your lane
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
I don’t wanna say this again
I don’t wanna have to say this again
I play hopscotch with planets
The universe is the earth to me
I peer down at earth at you earthlings
From my perch up on Mercury
I am Nathaniel

Hey I know that you love me
Nothing you won’t do for me
Every time it seems I turn around
I’m neck deep up in something
And there’s no need in frontin’
I’m so grateful you hold me down
Momma, I didn’t mean to make you cry
Momma, I didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Father, please forgive, they’ve forsaken what you took them for
Nathaniel is the star Galileo was looking for
Here I am, where are you
Galileo, it's ok bro, here we go
Figaro, figaro, figaro, figaro
I really love the way you talk
Every time yall come around me I feel just like
I gotta dumb it down for yall, go figure
Figaro, figaro, figaro, figaro
I’m the modern-day, Galileo
Mixed with Marvin Gaye
Mr. Fahrenheit, Freddy’d be so proud that he would say
Galileo Figaro
Figaro, figaro, figaro, figaro, Figaro, figaro, figaro, figaro
Father, please forgive, they’ve forsaken what you took them for
Nathaniel was the star Galileo was looking for
Yall know better, all yall chumps
Yall think yall clever
Until I reach in the back of the leather
I’m as real as they come
Boy I’m true to the letter
I will make you see sky blue
They don’t teach the things I do
One, two, nowhere to run to when we want you
Machine gun, da da da da
When we hunt you
I murdered all of the teachers
Kill you in your own song, guillotine features
Dragged in the dungeon,
Waterboard with a quart of oil, now you’re speechless
I’m a capital V for vendetta
BULLET’s in yo’ sweater
I mean you did ok, but I’m better
I’ll leave you stiff as a board, light as a feather
I am better than you
I am thunder and lightning, check the weather
Kill snakes while the rats in his mouth
Bo, bo, bo, bo, For the heckler
Just so you know, nothing really matters to me
Nothing really matters to me
I stopped caring a long, long time ago
I figured I should let you know
Don’t get comfortable
Cause you gon’ turn around and I’ll be gone
You’ll turn around and I’ll be gone, you see
Cause nothing really matters to me

Anybody find me
And you reply, you,
I opened my eyes and saw, you
I never would’ve thought me and you
Baby, it was always you, I should’ve always knew
If your love comes back around, you better bite the line
I said
Yes, if your love comes back around, you better bite the line
Sometimes we fight, fight, we keep on fighting
Until we realize we’re just fighting ourselves
A losing battle, a losing battle we keep fighting yea
And then there’s a light, light, light, that gets brighter
Now you can see you’re not by yourself
You know who I’m talking about
You know who I’m talking about
Thank you for sticking with me
Opened my eyes and I saw you
You never left me lonely
I never would’ve thought that me and you
