We're going out on a limb
Our people are about to disown us now
Incrementally cahnge mentality
Speak of values miss the irony
What you once shunned
Is now what you seek
Three hundred sixty
And never miss a beat
Your people call my people
What's this? i'm skeptical
Success come knockin'
And we're dabblin'
See the circles that we travel in
Access babylon, access babylon
All access, yeah, but not quite
Your cast goes left but not allowed right
Force field limbo caught in mid strata
Funds evaporate so called friends scatter
Your people call my people
What's this? i'm skeptical
Success come knockin'
