lyrics

Verse 1:
Hanging with Najeeb in the medina, where the heat is
Breaking fast like Eid, we feed our minds until were genius
Genies grant three wishes, pondering how theyd be spent
Squander it on riches, monolithic for the rent
Confident in self, ease my conscious with a spell
One more, want a partner to live through this hell
Think I broke some rules of djinn, silence me like Coolidge
Presidential features, got no fitra, seeming ghoulish
Scheming how to rob a tomb, then badaboom, we do it
Its done, from the novels to all my thoughts brewing
Thieving like aladdin, ali baba, we congruent
Melt the treasure trove, mix that golden with Fluent
Alchemy or metal work, the way my text is rutilent
Shining with a blazing force, amazing mortal, jubilant
No feudalist but serving all the heat, still a villein
Spilling lava flow, im like Jafar, my skill pillage

Hook:
Counting up 1001 nights I never slept
1001 masks, like I'm nyarlathotep
Add one for myself just to set myself apart
1001 ways to love, crafted in the dark

Verse 2:
The stone of the philosophers I own, but in no pocket
Youre a student to the universe, the mind unlocks a profit
1001 tales, we detail like an epic
Scimitar criminal bars, Gilgamesh contestant
Enkidu was killed and left the king with a query
Same as de Leon, and they wont need apothecaries
Ishtar set off dominos that led to his conclusions
We control our death, but life is led by more than humans
Fish for Tiamat, the sea, I fought like Marduk
Ardor to defeat the opposition like a harpoon
Arrow down the throat, like Ahab replicated after
With a spear of ships, so Moby's gone near final chapter
Gungnir of the water way it took down such a monster
Lead into the breathing hot of chimera and fafnir
Perseus killed Cetus, from the ocean, but I'm heated
Floods of my emotions, I can beat but my hearts eaten

Hook:
Counting up 1001 nights I never slept
1001 masks, like I'm nyarlathotep
Add one for myself just to set myself apart
1001 ways to love, crafted in the dark
