[Verse 1]
[Am]Explain yourself wha' you mean
when you say half cast
Ah listening to you wit' di
keen half of mi ear
And when I sleep at night,
I close half a eye
Consequently, I dream half a dream
And when moon begin to glow
I half cast [Em]human [Am]bein'

[Verse 2]
Cast half a shadow
[Am]Be afraid? Love more to make
a visit than a [Em]poem?
Seek introductions, favors,
influ[Am]ences?
No, thank you
No, I thank you [Em]and again, I thank you
[Am]Yeah,

[Verse 3]
uh, small man cast a big [Em]shadow
Ready and raggo, heart stay
dodging from [Am]the arrow
Skin of my teeth,
late nights I [Em]was paro
Sweet to the bone, to the marrow,
the [Am]marshmallow
Yeah, wonder why the waters so [Em]shallow

[Verse 4]
The sun was my ally,
the night was my gallows
[Am]Uh, cooking up the chips in the tallow
Invis[Em]ibility cloak like the hallows
[Am]Black like

[Verse 5]
tobacco,
black like the lungs that my dad
Smoked [Em]away in the days that
the hate stayed [Am]narrow
I'm from the age where
the hate seems macro
We [Em]keep a little oil in the afro,
The [Am]Black Sparrow
Hit the high seas, straight like [Em]Sopranos

[Verse 6]
The streets still hot like Serrano,
[Am]saran wrap
Around the bad taps,
so we had to [Em]grab the hose
Let the cold water flow over
[Am]man's nose
Yeah, I'm black like the [Em]key on the piano

[Verse 7]
[Em]
White like the keys on the piano,
[Am]low ammo
Uh, black like the [Em]key on the piano
White like the key on the piano
Fascin[Am]ated by

[Verse 8]
the pyramids,
masquerading as the infamous
[Em]Reminisce [Am]13, backflipping and ninja kicks
Was emceeing but no one
getting [Em]me into this
Been emceeing since I found
out [Am]this shit exists
This shit that fills [Em]the pain as the wisdom spits

[Verse 9]
[Em]
Out of the ink and drip,
the feels of the [Am]wings unclipped
The beats I ripped till I got
sent a [Em]batch of my own

[Verse 10]
Now I let the speakers bang out your home
[Am]Uh, let the words flow[Em] out my dome
As a spoken poem,
let it levitate y[Am]our zone
I'm the homegrown preacher,
the creep[Em]er, Thai, not sativa
But these days I wouldn't smoke [Am]either

[Verse 11]
S- O- B- E- R, I take a breather
[Em]Pink lungs, yo,
I got my mind looking [Am]cleaner
The deep sleeper,
ayo, I came back [Em]sweeter
Can't lie, I'm still [Am]afraid of Grim Reaper
Uh, put another verse into [Em]the ether

[Verse 12]
I hit the corner,
giving 20 pounds [Am]to Peter
It's like that, key on the piano
[Em]Black like the key on the piano,
[Am]no ammo

[Verse 13]
Ayo, I'm white like the key on the [Am]piano
Black like the [Em]key on the pi[Am]ano,
no [G]ammo, uh
[Am]When [Em]Tchaikovsky

[Verse 14]
sit down
at di [Am]piano
And mix [Em]a black key with a white [Am]key
Is a half- cast symphony
