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' s**t but only if your a*s
   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 s**t 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
   s**t 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
   s**t 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
