Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 (x8)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Now I know fools get their own when they chit chat
   Haven't heard yet but you can bet I'm not with that
   With that talk with that digi walk
   I stack a bird you heard absurd word to the fact I'm a
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   Nippin' Sippin' on the flask
   Passin it talkin' shit but only if your ass
   In front of me cause you could run from me but
   In the end revenge sends you to the defendant
   I can't get caught in the spiral, cause every bit of energy
   It goes to my survival out my way
   I'm a flicka flacka blotter
   Ya try to find a weakness but the shit keeps getting harder
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
   Fourth of July/with Lucy in Sky
   I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors
   I was nineteen/I'd do anything
   Shit like that now scares me but I'd like to do it again
---> Play Chorus over:
   It was Independence Day
   I've seen the other side and I say
   I've been insane
   And I won't ever be the same
---> Play Riff 1 (w/Fill 1) over:
   Cuz we flow we must be fly
   First to flow Nickel my brother so wise
   And then I rise here's an ill kid pumpin' cuz he is so slick
   Step's from darkness his body electric
   A drone buzzes the air a cracklin' tone
   Then boomin' like thunder in a cosmic jungle
   Death defyin' like Knievel he weevil
   Words that will wobble awkward and evil
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   Cuz he flow and rock the hardest of the crowds
   A marvel pow how you like me now
   I've returned the kiss of death the last Damien
   From the abyss fresh eternal alien
   Now famished from pathless ways I ma, do damage
   To the wack MC's I know you can't stand this
   Right about now get down I'm the annhilator
   Rockin' with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
   Fourth of July/with Lucy in Sky
   I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors
   I was nineteen/I'd do anything
   Shit like that now scares me but I'd like to do it again
---> Play Chorus over:
   It was Independence Day
   I've seen the other side and I say
   I've been insane
   And I won't ever be the same
---> Play Ending
