about

2) I land in the US 3pm in the afternoon time in Atlanta feeling born again and ready to chase my dreams. I introduce myself as blink to the world and draw attention to my background as an artist and thinker… Pay Attention

lyrics

King blink no crown on my head/ breath life to the game while they sound like the dead/ no/
I’m no Jamaican but I’m down with the dreads/ I’m rude boy I come from a town on the edge/ LAGOS!
West Africa, and I rep faithfully/ born to be a king I never accept slavery/ so
Fuck ignorance I express bravery/ tip my hat to greatness I never respect complacency/ so
Let my chain hang low with my brains high/ or should I kick it like a ninja from shanghai/
Life is a test and it’s very standardized/ gotta keep your ammunition sharp like a samurai/
So I graduated college, big deal/ it’s better off to do something than sit still/
Or try and front like I’m from the streets and get killed/ these niggas playing fake cards just to get deals/
Get real real niggas never live to be acknowledged/ so 99.999% of your industry is dishonest/
I promise, same n*ggas you pay homage will be coming out the closest/yesso
And someone gotta save the kids/ and they say size matters, so I’m tryna make it BIIIIIIIG/
The truth is a blunt you gotta take a hit/ now a days you make dollars you aint gotta make no sense/
So should I bring change or pay rent/ it’s harder to make dollars when you tryna make….sense/
Make sense? And that’s just how the game goes/
Aint non changed just different n*ggas in the same clothes/same television with the same shows same old cane flows n*ggas tripping case closed/ why should I pulpit it and save souls? When it’s all about the money like a pay phone/ I say fcuk traveling the safe/ you aint ready for the real world you better stay home/ and niggas say no hommo atfter gay quote/ and say bitch in every other bar that they wrote/
but that dnt mean these n*ggas straight tho/ obama is president that dnt mean that shit has changed tho/
so (pay attention) x2/ dig in you mahfucking wallets and pay attention <cha ching>

You pay attention to the lies n*gga better use your eyes and pay attention to the signs/
Dnt pay attention to the war fuck what cnn say just attention to the stars/
Don’t pay attention to the game fcuk what niggas gotta say just pay attention to the chains/
Still everything’s the same just pay a lil attention and it might get yu some change/

And everything is fcuking perfect/ it’s a nice err…everything Is fcuking worthless/
I mean who am I deceiving/ I am quite confused like who should I believe in/
Is it science or the church/ can we separate the 2/ do we die and then rebirth or just lie inside the dirt/
They say the son might come down one day and set fire to the earth/ that’s global warming?
Or maybe it’s science fiction/ I’ll-give it a moment for some answers I am listening?...huh? yea fucking right/
Left my people for dead like they aint got no fucking rights/ our oil been spilling…all we got is some fucking rice/ no water no power we aint got no fucking light/ and when we cried the oil companies aid fuck your life/ we aint got paid shit 50 years the same shit

so (pay attention) x2/ dig in you mahfucking wallets and pay attention <cha ching>
