Parallel Timelines (Remix) ft. Mick Jenkins Lyrics

In another parallel timeline

We could live life & it's full of abundance

And not have to worry about funding and budgets

People would care about climate control

Put in some time in to fix the environment

School and some health care for all would be free

We could be set up for early retirement, I think

In another parallel timeline

Aye, I could be black without being hated

I don't need a strap when I get anxious

Cuz we wouldn't have to trap

And the system would have our back

Is it too much to ask for that

I guess it is damn, but really though

I don't know why you keep blessing me

Despite the times you been testing me

And I do not believe in destiny

But sometimes I feel like this was meant for be, like this was meant for me

Nowadays I got no time for nobody disrespecting me

You ain't fuckin with the legacy, aye

All the shots sent for me they never get to me

Focused on what I'm prepared to be

Fake friends are dead to me

Give up an arm and a leg to see my dogs with equity

And I am so cut throat I come for ya neck

Reason why they'll never be ahead of me

I came out the streets like its Sesame

Selling weed, stacking my bills like I'm Bellamy

In another parallel timeline, aye

You'd be at home and not in the pin

Or come on the road when I'm on a trip

I'm tired of conversations through the glass

Monitored phone calls are a pain

Seeing my own dogs in some chains

Make me wanna go O-dog in this thang, but I think

In another parallel timeline

You'd still be here and we would be kicking it

It's been some years and I'm still feeling it

I miss you dearly but death is so imminent

You was my brother your life was so innocent

Can't make another your price too expensive

Sometimes I wonder but now I accept it damn

And if that makes me selfish I don't mind it

Said if that makes me selfish I don't mind it

Cuz I can't help it if I'm reminded

Who is you

This ain't nothing but a Rubik's cube, gotta spin the block

Pack a bag tryna spend the night

Vagabonds we was kin to that

Eyes on you like a Venonat

Shit changed with the internet

Shit changed peep the energies, it be enemies getting intimate

Nigga, flows keep getting intricate

Pray for peace still keep a piece, nigga, piece of me want incident

Piece of me want Benjamins

Piece of me want innocence

The whole of me want negatives and increment no lump sum

Dump a lot if I dump sumn

In another parallel timeline

I could pay some more bus stops

Movements wouldn't be hush hush

I'd be taking more trust falls

Better ratio with love lust

Know the moment that they drugged us

Know the moment we unplugged us

In another parallel timeline

I wouldn't be nervous when I see impalas

Still deal with PTSD and some trauma

Come from the hood where the only thing promised is death

Don't mean to bother you resting in peace but I wish we could hop on a call for a sec

Or you could respond to a text

And if that makes me selfish I don't mind it, yea

Said if that makes me selfish I don't mind it

Cuz I can't help it if I'm reminded
