[Verse 1: Captain Murphy]
Hold up, hold up
I bet you thinking that we dead
Hold up, hold up
I have this bullet in my head
Hold up, hold up
Mama what's them words you said?
(What did you say, nigga?)
I don't give a damn, you can't make me shame
Hold up, hold up
Why you make us think you're dead?
(What did you say, nigga?)

[Hook: Captain Murphy]
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead
Oh they, oh they
Think we dead

[Verse 2: Captain Murphy]
Hold up, hold up
Me and Dilla 'bout to blow some trees (yeah fuck yeah)
Hold up, pass to Austin and to Freddie Mercury
Don't need nobody, we bouncin' on that Astral Plane
Hold up, hold up
I think I just forgot my name
(That's cause you're dead)

[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg]
Nickel plated nine
Bang bang blow your mind
Beep beep flatline
Gotta get yours, I been had mine
Hold my hand, laying in the bed
Family crying, they think he dead
No jokes no hoax
Felt his palm, he had no pulse
Could've been the drank, it might've been the smoke
In light of all that he was considered dope
And now I'm left to keep you strong
And I kept you Flying Lotus and I step too
You can't run, just gonna get you
I was live when I met you
Now this seems to upset you
This what the shit gon' get you: Death

Flying Lotus

Steven Ellison (born October 7, 1983), better known by his stage name Flying Lotus, is an experimental multi-genre music producer, electronic musician, DJ and rapper from Los Angeles, California.

Lotus first gained fame in 2006, when he saw an advertisement on Adult Swim asking for song submissions. He had already begun experimenting with beats, so he sent in a few songs under the name “Flying Lotus” — a lucid dreaming inspired moniker. Adult Swim accepted his songs, and soon his instrumentals were being used all over the channel; everything from theme songs to advertisements.

After his sudden rise to fame, Lotus began interning at Stones Throw Records, the label home to rap legend MF DOOM and Lotus’s biggest inspiration, prestigious producer J Dilla. Lotus began living out of the label’s offices and his grandmothers couch, and he started to work on his debut album, 1983.
