Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh my, my, my, I'm feeling high
My money's gone, I'm all alone
Too much to see
The world keeps turning
Oh, what a day, what a day, what a day
Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned
If your knowledge were your wealth, then it would be well-earned
If we were made in his image, then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same
Oh, on and on and on and on (my love keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Oh, on and on and on and on (all night 'til the break of dawn)
I go on and on and on and on (my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Oh, on and on and on and on (goddammit, I'ma sing my song)
I was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes
Yeah, you might laugh 'cause you did not do your math
Like one, two, three (damn, y'all feel that? Oh!)
Like one, two, three, the world keeps turning
Oh, what a day, what a day, what a day
The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all
Does it seem colder in your summertime and hotter in your fall?
If we were made in his image, then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same
Oh, on and on and on and on (my life keeps moving like a rolling stone)
On and on and on and on (all night 'til the vultures swarm)
I go on and on and on and on (my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Moving on and on and on and on (mad props to the God JaBorn)
I am feeling kinda hungry 'cause my high is coming down
Don't feed me yours 'cause your food does not endure
I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burning
Oh, what a day, what a day, what a day
You rush into destruction 'cause you don't have nothing left
The mothership can't save you, so your ass is gon' get left
If we were made in his image, then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same
Oh, on and on and on and on (my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Oh, on and on and on-on, on-on, on-on (you can't fuck with me, so just leave it alone)
Ooh-ooh, wait on and on and on and on (my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Oh, on and on and on and on
(And on) and on, um
