drum major instinct

this morning

i would like to use as a subject

from which to preach

the drum major instinct

galileo

galileo

i've been doin' fine

but it's been 18-something years now

so we running out of time

yeah

i know they ain't prepared

and that the stars are out of line

but just for once can i remind them

let it be known that i aligned them

let it be known that i designed them

astronomers can't find them

our problem?

we look with our eyes but without our minds

so

mind that we were supposed to be the soul in the truth

but we jumped and there must have been a hole in the chute

wind started the fire

fire started the nigga

didn't invent the gun

we just pullin' the trigger

shot our way through the rocks

see

climbed our way to the top

stuck a flag in the moon

promised to be home soon

i was siding

you was

we were just so close

i was the one that lost it

damn

i wish i would've known what the cost was

be like

we ain't lose the world

but it lost us

i really do appreciate ya'll being with me here

on this journey

that hopefully won't have to take long

oh

yeah
