"E.T. (Extraterrestrial)"

Peep what I say

Everyday the sun sets just like clockwork

To put the Glock to work

And putting the body to standstills

Man, it kills me

Taking that life is like taking a shit

Hit or miss, niggas are playing God

Trying to rob and steal

That's why ya gotta guard your grill

Like a barbecue 'cause them harming you

Are just like honeybees swarming you

Vocally arming you was my responsibility

It's killing me thinking that all these niggas see they flauging

Thinking they Steven Seagal and balling

Falling to the wayside when ya try to call, I've fallen

When we was little nappy headed niggas in the projects

But now they carjacks, wait on income tax and unsafe sex

Still yet they tend to flex like solo for tha lo-lo

Smoke same thing no-no, not this time

Niggas around my way can rhyme

So fuck that country shit we done a bunch of shit

And yes ya heard of this out of this world like E.T

Coming across your T.V

Extraterrestrial straight from ATL (know what I'm sayin'?)

Out of this world

Are you alien?

Out of this world

Are you alien?

Out of this world

Are you alien?

Out of this world

Right now I'm smiling, taking advantage of this moment

'Cause there might not be another soon

Holding on to memories like roller coaster handle bars

Tightly 'cause I'm slightly off my rocker

But to you, I may appear to be your average Joe

But little do you know that even Joe got problems that he gots to joust with

Floating in this game of life despite how out of place you may feel

In this race, oh, you just can't quit

Ain't that a bitch that be in heat

I'm on the beat like cops

Only cultivate the stable dirt when I skeet my drops

No concentrating knocking other niggas out the box

Why? 'Cause in a sense see we all be kind of fly

Just can't be scared to spread your wings, head to better things

Maybe the mockingbird and nightingale they want to sing

Keeping this thing alive, to the table's what we bring

We like hailstorms and blizzards in the middle of the spring

Extraterrestrial

Out of this world

Are you alien?

Out of this world

Are you alien?

Out of this world

Are you alien?

Out of this world
