[Aaron Livingston:]
Like when autumn leaves fall
Down from the trees,
There goes my honey bee.
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
And I do not miss them yet,
I wouldn't wish them on the worst of enemies,
Let them burn, go from here
Like when autumn leaves.
[Black Thought:]
To catch a thief, who stole the soul I prayed to keep,
Insomniac, bad dreams got me losin' sleep,
I'm dead tired, my mind playin' tricks, deceit,
A face in the glass unable to admit defeat.
All that I am, all that I was is history,
The past unraveled, addin' insult to this injury,
I'm fightin' the battle for the soul of the century,
Destiny is everything that I pretend to be,
Look, and what I did came back to me eventually.
The music played on, and told me I was meant to be awake,
It's unresolved like everything I had at stake,
Illegal activity controls my black symphony
Orchestrated like it happened incidentally.
Oh, there I go, from a man to a memory,
Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me.
