Yeah yeah before the tours, uh!
Yeah ("Lemme hit that weed")

Before the tours have filled the calendar
I was in Brooklyn, smokin' Cali bud
And I accepted rap, eyes red from that
5 AM flights, eyes red from that
Mr wouldn't cop the white one
If it came in black
Frequent 30 cities while you're

Witnessin' my chicken scratch
Type of shallow nigga
Fuck and give your lady back
Constructed in the lab
Flatbush where they raised me at
Now I lost some friends
But fuck it we don't need 'em
We barely friends before and we
Don't talk for different reasons
Mom's all sad, pops gon' snap
Make some difference in this world
Before your mind goes black
How can a nigga do his homework
When his mom's on crack?
How can I produce a record
That be equal to that?
Every time I play some new shit
I'm just thinking it's whack
My motivation for the youth is
How we bringin' it back

Bringin' it back, bringin' it back
(here we go again)
Been waitin' so long it’s like
They use to that crap hip-Hop been my life
I'm just used to the facts
Sellin' dope not an option
Ain't new to the trap
Faggot niggas wanted the fame
They used to the back
My niggas boardin' a plane, Insta vid that
I'm confident as ever, my tolerance is low
For hatin' mothafucker's doubtin' me
Like I ain't dope
Crack, say the word chap, I leave a skull cap
Morbid with the four fifth and the boss pit
Torture, hot, burn it, like a perm quick
My melodies is heaven sent
Y'all ain't heard shit

Old days
Back before the rappin' and my aura swankin'
Youthful savage, used to dream of passion
Now we make it happen
Rap disasters, overlord to rappin' actors
Hustling talents
Spittin' average 'til my kin
Descended upon this planet
Rare to see, Sirius Star B, I'm a Star Seed
My light-beam across the
Nation, changin' tastes, unitin' races
Higher placement, laugh at basic, 90 angel
Tempt to Satan blend it up, equal greatness
Rock the podium with my statements
I'm the thirteenth king raised
Up out the monarchy palm trees, roll it up
Dedicate it to my sovereignty
Fuck this separation shit is tasters
We one entity
Like a bunch of shit stirred in
The pot but still one recipe
Indigo the leaders, puttin' the
Youth through trainin', nigga
Never thought we would make it
Now we unpluggin' it from the matrix
Spit iconic, Issa Gold, the proper way
The youthful conscious
Truth won't stop us, my light stream shinin'
Blockin' out they nonsense

Brooklyn born and raised, some say we free
Some say we caged
But they hold the key to change they ways
But mind be sleep, they mental slate
You not in my league, I see through the great
Cut the pot then I leap
Through the ashes and came
I go crying in the
Corner with immaculate brains
Hold up, I'm beast and I cannot be tamed
Remember when we were starvin'
Dreams was tarnished
Hoping one day we'd be ballin'
Ain't that all us? Now we done it
Use your brain and never forfeit
Now I talk how I'm livin' with conscious
Good intentions, flawless karma
And this mission keeps us stronger
Fight for the day we be peaceful and honest

I would die for every single
Nigga on this track, hol' up
It's only right that we bring it back
I done died for every single
Nigga on this track, hol' up
It's only uh- that we bring it uh uh

I'm destined for damnation
Need to let out frustration
So I threw a Molotov at
The nearest police station
Tell the reaper that I'm waitin', shit
Hell would be a vacation
At least I won't need a lighter
To spark up them Cali flavors
The point is to read the book
And burn the chapters after
Why are we moving backwards? Mentally
We still in shackles
Our life, it like sand castles
We are not built to last
But if we pack together
Close enough, the weather, we would stand
One day, i'll have a queen and she
Won't need no weddin' band
The weight of the world I benchpress
No flexin' for the 'Gram
The man that travels many lands
Withstands and you can't understand
Your standards, I am over them
Feel like I am petroleum
The chosen one, my tongue's a sword for ya
I brought my loaded gun
I got this ongoin' battle with this shit
De-pression
The pressure is buildin' up but fuck
It I ain't givin' up
And even if I did, so what?
Time we waste, in this waiting game
So butterfly away, come visit heaven's gates
Time we waste, in this waiting game
So butterfly away, come visit heaven's gates

Overall Meaning

The song "Butterfly Effect" by Clockwork Indigo opens with the rappers talking about life before fame and before they began touring. They reminisce about smoking marijuana and accepting rap as their profession while flying at 5 AM with red eyes. They also talk about the struggles of growing up with personal problems such as having a mother on crack and losing friends. They use the song to encourage their listeners to make a difference before their “mind goes black” and ask questions like "Why are we moving backwards? Mentally, we still in shackles.” They end the song by rapping about the importance of mental health and the battle they face with depression.

The song touches on themes of struggling with mental health, the pressures of fame, and overcoming personal obstacles. The rappers speak about their personal experiences and use their music as a platform to encourage their listeners to make a difference in the world. The chorus, “Time we waste in this waiting game, so butterfly away, come visit heaven's gates” is a reminder to live life to the fullest while you can and to not wait for change to happen on it's own.
