Lyrics
Dark matter like paint splatters, they fit better The old saying, the way it goes "Better the devil you do than you don't know" I hit pedals and switch levels, my heart: metal I can't settle, I'm part trouble, and not subtle I f**k good so f**k cuddles, burst bubbles The dust levels at new highs I downed doubles and got baked till I felt high My face puzzled, felt muddled They're far strung and your flow's wooden The thought might but the fit wouldn't, a fortnight And I thought right, it's all bark and therе's no bite I'm Tony Stark, still embarking on a dream Took a bit of timе to take darkness from the team Seen what I've seen, heartless on the sleeve Tried to burn my wings, so I put them in a piece on my chest At peace, no rest Flipped this on its head Ripped the scripture up now, flip it don't intend Slipping sh*t again Fakers all around me, how they living in pretense Fake friends, won't make amends There's no need, these mean queens control the scenes Attention seekers, their span is weak and it's spamming news What the family need and the planet bleeds the damaged trees It's never leaving till we ascend So f**k the fence And till they stop killing coloureds It's f**k the feds You must be off it, I mean it You know you hate Never get what you judging I used to dread growing my beard too long Never felt I belonged But it's been long, like a minute I ain't looking to no mans for lyrics They're feeling timid I'm telling them who they mimic While healing them like a clinic Confused why they get no women Still, we're just f**king girls Lost in the wrong world - Jurassic Now to this vermin kicking the game, I'm serving These losers are never learning My fire's forever burning Adding it to my fuel Seems like I'm always focused on never becoming you These locals that rob us, feeling This slaughter is for a reason I'm seeing my new beginnings, watch out this loser's winning And water's too deep to swim in Like combat I see me killing, I'm all that without a limit Flawless and feeling lawless They're prisoner to the gimmicks My vision is set to summit I'm watching you b*t*hes plummet No match enough for my cunning You rappers are feeling done in Switching your genre, running Runnin' your jaw, stuntin' Pulling at straws, something I think you're a poor effort, definite Tone-deaf and an attitude sh*tty separate Living, I'm in my element, guarding it like a Sentinel Never lose me to fentanyl, scared when I take a Benadryl Keeping it green, in general Think that you remain irrelevant Look at yourself with reverence, hoping to always elevate Celibate of these thoughts, killin' themselves with sedatives In comparison to Eminem, you're feeling feminine And politically correct, still dropping on my d**k And I never gave a f**k about what they say about my sh*t I've been moving things in my mind like it's this mountain dew Memories made me wonder if one day amounts you What's the purpose that you do this What you hopin' that they learn? I'd like to say I'm done with this gettin' up on my nerve I'm looking at my life, saying what do I deserve It's hard to say I know when I'm walking through the dirt Talking or do nothing, I can see for what it's worth I'm tired of feeling hurt and I've tried it and nothing works I'm racking up excuses while I'm slacking off of work sh*t chatting is the usual while talking with this clerk I beg you don't include me, I might write it on my shirt So that every time they see me That they always know it's worth Life is potent, did some f**k sh*t till they took notice Weren't no hocus pocus - it was hard work that got me heard So I put in the graft like Google Maps Got the whole Earth Writing rhymes into my doormat Taking over like the Romans Rolling dirt up on miles like the [?] Rain exploding like [?]'s hematoma Don't need to see a slammer to know I don't want to go Man, I'm the showman I'm just focused on the doorman Leave the grill to George Foreman What kills it [?] like I got my own insurance Show myself [?] If we're about to talk greatness, I'm beyond great You know you have to say my name like Beyoncé (Say my, say my name) (Say my, say my, say my name) Dumb, just a bum with a cigarette Sun comin' up, all my thoughts on the Internet Feeling deep, I'm just bored with the silhouette Single sec, get f**ked up for the thrill of it Kill a streak playing Pac Man Like I came from the Philippines Vanilla beans, still a thing For the thrill of seen Facility, there's a beam You may fall, leave it well alone Ain't moving, stood still on a Peleton Telephone, and it's always on the dial tone It's been a while since I've smiled at a milestone Seen a big pile in my mind, stone Me against the world on my Jack Jones Like I'm John Jones With the b*t*hes in the condor Far from [Jondar?] In the [?] like I'm Johnny Bravo Got bravado with your small d**k Sittin' in [?] Stealin' five gum 'cause I blast it Where's that good sh*t? Where's that [?] You can never take my sh*t Come and get me if you bailiffs On the top floor, cloud 9, fadin' Never bailing, felt amazing Inhaling, till my lungs two guns blazing Overcome all the stunts that I pulled A suit of just skin and then [wolf?] This life it don't give you no armour A lot of meself that can harm ya' I swear on what's good, that I'm here till they take me I pray that I'm wrinkled, at least over 80 Started movin' like a ruler Damn [?], gold bars from the jeweler Bring the sunnies to the beach in the hope of finding [?] f**k a trap, I kill rappers like [?] I wish it was a rumor Grab a bat, lose my rag Couple things got me mad Couple people got me wrong and now I'm changing up the swag Coming in and stealing it, I might take the whole bag Feeling undefeated, I'ma beast with a reason I'ma lead the whole pack Fearless like I'm Caesar, I'm just waiting for a chance To fill it up with diesel, and all I've been achieving Clocking miles in this region Moving like a legion Promise that I made to myself, an allegiance Do you still believe I'm a fool for ever leaving? Staring at the ceiling, can never put a cap on achieving I'm just here for the rap, then I'm leaving I've had about enough of being my own enemy It's time I grew up, a long way from 17 Always went against the grain, struggles in my life Got some things to say when I stand up on a mic I ain't dropping this for fame, I need this time like therapy It's just to keep me sane The truth is you're my medicine, can't put that on your plate Speeding into everything, 'bout time I fixed the brakes Don't say I can't communicate You know I conversate with you in several different ways And I know you know it's reverence, I'm looking at your face Can't justify mistakes, like every man that made them, seems I ain't the one to blame Lying to myself, only had so much to gain So now I'm switching up the play See if that affects the place I'm at [?] I ain't going with the usual so they looking at me strange Confused, and I can feel it all I'm here to make the change It's cold at 3am outside, I'm walking with the dog Thanking god that you don't talk at all, my mind is switching off Driving time to find myself, 'cause I've been getting lost Lived a selfish life and said that I can't give a toss Lessons that I've learned I've tried teachin' to myself What I've learnt from certain people is that they're better than myself So I surround myself with real ones, and you feel the plastic melt Like burning toy soldiers that used to go up on the shelf Recycled ideas, conveying on the belt Mind stuck in the circus, always hurting how we felt Embarrassed that we dreamt of bigger things, with this relent And letting go with notions till we feel the means cement Tired of only hoping, we feel like broken men 'Cause the gravity is weight and it kept us to the ground See the only people speaking, ones with favours in their mouths Gun killer, run zilla, no fillers like Godzilla Eating clouds 'cause my smoke's thicker Throat liqueur, my dope sicker Bringing people they hope like I'm the pork slicker I hope you getting the point because I won't bicker I thought my city was sh*t because I want bigger Like my zipper couldn't zip up Fed up with the [?] [?], my love is fickle [?], has a primitive face Left it to simmer, similar ways [?], with fake glimmer in their heads Feeling trapped, this industry is a cage Nobody's speaking the truth I'm offended by the State Look at the state of the news I've decided the argument Reciting my views while they're inciting [?] I'm feeling pressured to choose Standing here as one man How can I do half when you're half the person I am If it wasn't in your life, you didn't choose it It's the funny thing about music It's the pain and beauty of it Don't give a f**k what my suit is, it looks good so I wear it Better than the sh*t that people's wearing Changing the whole narrative for these basics It's [scary?] I've been facing the racists from back when I were a kiddie Born up in 93', living it rough in city They kicked me out of the schools Said I had a problem with hittin' The kids that would call me P*** Still sittin' in classroom chillin', I'm angry Now that I'm older I see they treat us different Got me thinking I'm the problem 'Cause they never dealt with these issues 20 years later, I'm still in the same boat Tryna treat me like my grandpa Say I came up off the boat Came to tell you what I stand for, man I think this sh*t's a joke How can I be civil when they've got me by the throat Pushing my feelings down, you ain't got it like them "Boy your skin is so light" Okay motherf**ker, take my name up on a flight And try to convince immigration that your bloodline's half white I don't know how that's acceptable When life is more susceptible to perception, be the death of them I've been looking at the sky saying where's that day of reckoning? You had your prophets right when they said that you would speak to them I needed justice in this life, and I will trust that it's my fight 'Cause when I'm writing it feel right to have them focused on the facts again Focused on the rap again, hoping for the change Gunna put this on the map again Writin' in all caps again The pain, it goes through me so I write the letter All the sh*t that could have broke me, but made me better I'm at home with a pain in my soul Yeah, [?] 'Cause you know I been too real to contest it My time was invested Now I look upon the industry, I see it infested Looking like kids who would [?] Nesquik My name ain't on the list unless they label it "ethnic" I ain't never gave a f**k about these jokers and jesters Ain't no answers for those things, so just save us the questions Man all out of of violence, 'cause my silence is deafening Your opinion stinks, somebody get 'em a breath mint Start to understand why they think that I'm threatening I move in certain ways, couldn't slow me with ketamine Now they all wanna hear me, got a table at Letterman Direction changed, like I changed up the lettering Don't believe the age, because I move like a veteran Raised on the benefit for whose benefit? They'll never learn sh*t, man, if the shoe fits No one's gunna know, before you open your mouth And to be honest, it's insulting Offensive to my wounds that they've been salting Tryna ask me questions that they know I never answer I'd rather sit online and reply to the fan art f**k a sports car, coming through in a raptor Tell you what I like, farm life on the tractor Fake life, 'sup online, suck a fat one You don't wanna buy into that, none of that, son Sitting in the garden at night in the 98' in the [?] Seen some hot summers, but I still remember that sun I make millions off of my pain 'Cause I know a few millions still living that way Dealing with the hurt, that they should know they don't deserve It hit deep, 'cause I hit the nerve Only way that the sheep learn with the street Firm in my ways, I don't want to change Everything should stay the same Who you trying to convince, you understand? Can't maintain with the lights dim So get the chow mein, flex, get the tape right Up at night, while these men be mice to my face be nice I ain't trying to be a gangster, it ruins my vibe Rather stay lowkey and on my phone, B Never need the trophy or the showpiece Never show peace in the North Face fleece Showcase this like a goat, might flip 'Cause the sign might fit to the start, I'm sick Now you see where I come from The [raw?] dump Only achievement from life is the Jordans Committing petty crimes out of boredom Can't afford em', so I stole it See the Rolex on the [?] Don't make sense it, get yourself a job It's a poor man's game, trying to sit and pray to God He ain't sorting all your problems, got to sort them out yourself Used to tell us fables, now I'm writing them myself 'Cause we raw like animals, we all just need some help Cathartic, I'm an artist, trying to put my heart in Felt double crossed like Leo in Departed For the knowledge, I'm not charging, see I've got it all free But my hunger kept me starving like I'm fiending for the feed I just need a reason, see me bleeding for my Creed Tricky with the words like I keep them up my sleeve Picking where I fit, I see me sitting with the queen I ain't doing it unless you're used to saying please Let me flow a bit, before I sting 'em with the bees They're tryna kill us with disease Why does it feel like they have the same notebook And the same four looks, like the [?] Touch on the face, so sus when they lie Don't, trust not a minor Plus, no fuss I just move through the game like must Something in my way, I adjust Till I take free form, like the shape Freefall, till I bust Remember 21, brother gave no f**ks Tryna project when they gave them looks In the projects, and the object's us In my own way, never gave me love Should have never started this, broken-hearted kid Jarred of the feelings, till I stole the lick Don't want to relish in the pain, but I can't resist I like the way we feel I like the way, I like the way Ain't no mistake I'm [?] I ain't tryna be a leader, been selling out since Jesus All my rhymes are for the readers, between the lines Like Father time, I f**k Mother Nature That's what they get, the connotations Tell 'em I lived a life, and then I lived a life of [?] like its [?] and played it patient Alone on my own spaceship, always tryna find greatness Still defying lines, but I'm fighting in my prime Shining light like Kylo while I'ma kill it all the time Aging like I'm wine Aging in my face, but still my race you can't define Focused on defiance, I'ma fight it while it's life Started something sick and on my mind is what's next Just became a dad now so I'm taking all the cheques Better know I'm staying and paying like it's debt I'ma get it done, if it's taking all my breath, sweat, done I ain't messing around till I'm the best Speaking in full sentences Shoulda thought about a strategy before you went in the stratosphere, better this One of the rings around Saturn, this ain't about [?] I feel you could use some practice Until that, you get the blacklist Not built like a zealous actress Foolin' them like a catfish, schoolin' them like a legend Happy to be the reference like a iridescent, leavin' 'em all guessing Leaking out of my brain like a pipe I ain't fixin' Shining like a star, you can see it from a distance Ain't many of me around, P---, I'm just different Certain stages to this level and ain't here because of favors to the devil f**k a label, I'ma do this from the ghetto Clean up like I'm Dettol I'm romantic with the bet on sight smart, like a weapon This is my kind of setting I write the world I'm sat in while these others live on hype I see know fight in how they type The fruit is ripe for the taking, I think I might Let me take you away from here Let me take you away from here Let me take you away from here Eccentric things I mention, like a kid stuck in detention Tryin'a escape, I'm just spittin' what is written on the next page Spittin' image of my dad in his young days Born sinner, when I'm livid I say, "f**k's sake" Done runnin', I'm too cunning with no plumbing The water works, I sung something that resonates I thought it first, like giving birth to the parrot perch They see me do it and they know it works Don't know what's worse: The way that you live your life, or the way that you write a verse Shouldn't be nervous, you don't deserve it Won't scratch the surface, I leave a crater And I lift the dirt up to find the find the hurtin' Can't know for certain, nothin' is guaranteed Tryin' to be a better person than the world deserves to see 'Cause I see a lot of sharks still swimming in the sea Cease and arrest, what's the reason? It's theft Are these the kind of kids that we're bringing up next? Distorted reality, all they needed was family Too out of their face to see what the damage is I don't want to be, I want to be A part of this, no I don't want to be, I want to be A part of this Sometimes they ask the questions too deep to form a sentence To this form, is this the norm? Is this the sentence? I feel defenseless I played the setlist so long my sweat, blood, and tears Forgot to mention Feelin' lost, goin' off into different sections I feel like love wrecked it If it's not a drug why am I waiting for the next fix, affected Can't believe that you left this I guess I leave with a best wish Movin' on like next, I'm fine for the lectures We see all full spectrum 'Cause if we're fallin' down, we can fall down together Staircase to heaven, mirror down the middle like 11 Resentment on one side, it won't settle Mind fried, but talking sense They ain't got a sense of themself in them rich ends Need to spell it out for the d**kheads I'm here for this, so witness I know you feel afflicted, but you always love it Whitney While I'm laughing at you, you think you're laughing with me I try to pull up, but I've grown so they don't fit me My body flown from this new to this old city I'm sick of sitting on my own, feeling so sh*tty I've been on roads where it's cold and the snow hittin' It's okay to be yourself, sit and talkin' to myself I've been walkin' for longest, just need a little rest No, I ain't the strongest, I can feel it in my chest Talkin' 'bout my feelings and of me they get the best They ain't leaving, see 'em breathin' in my breath Till death do us part, it's just seeded in my heart like a work of art Never winning, I'm just scarred Can't begin it from the start Do I play a part in the rhythm of the night? I guess I'm up to something, 'cause the dark's feelin' right Every cloud got a lining, put my own miles in like Morales Figured that they're jealous that they could just Never tell us to change because the weather never made me Question whether or not I'm at that level Got rid of all the the bullsh*t sittin' in my way Most of 'em are full of sh*t, I see it everyday Are you hearing the same things that I do? Maybe that sh*t's hitting like haiku How much do you pay for them to hype you? Recycle your flows, but they ain't like new Leavin' them conceited and full of diesel like engines that need a cleaning The ending will be revealing Even though we ain't raising the facts Now we've been facing the cactus with spikes Needing spaces, different faces, the same story A full body like straight voddy direct to your system But never tell 'em we missed 'em Not even with the thoughts we gift 'em 'Cause they just take advantage, guess we're caught in the system My soul pouring out details of borrowed time Had enough of a fill, this is for sorrow time I'm seeing visions of heaven I seen the severed line between the gospel we speak And when they're telling lies Remember tellin' a friend of mine, [?] Identified like a third eye Got a habit of knowing now where the dirt lies, so benign I ain't sober after nine, [?] f**k their minds Why you flippin' out see another tryin'a rep it from the city? f**k a Chiller Crew, reppin' for the nittys Tryin'a keep us down Raised on the social, don't wanna let us out of the system Me, I insist we assist them Me alone puttin' shifts till we lift 'em I know it's hard, that's why I like it I'm fit to fight it, I'm from the North I'm backin' Tyson, it's been decided Don't see no light, they're needing guidin' Just be defining, realizing I'm realigning in full [?] They say silence can be louder, I'm juiced up with no powder I fix sh*t like slick spanner, I've gone green Like Bruce Banner so "Free Gaza" on my banner The real McCoy, I ain't nothing to toy with Signified peace like a Japanese koi fish How did this happen? We're moving backwards in our timeline, killin' us with cyanide Riot for the freedom till we transform like Ironhide This one's 'bout my feelings The way that I move affects the fate that I'm sealing Can't say nothin' without somethin' being on the page Kept inside the pen like the bars have been kept caged See, I always had a plan since I was young, we had nothing man Now it's been a few years since I ain't seen the fam on foreign lands 'Bout to climb Everest in the avalanche Right into the riddles as soon as you were born Never askin' a question, 'cause it's the norm See, I'm on a questionin' session Like the manner got a method to teaching a lesson Listenin' to MF Doom, he taught me like Ra's al Ghul Felt like livin' in Gotham, the people were rotten Still we play cartoons so it's never forgotten Chillin' at the top, but we came from the bottom Writin' and jottin' for them life by spottin' the difference They're hating on Palestine's ways The [?] palace playing Prince on a Steinway Sending out mind waves Stop 'em like crime waves Freedom fighter, Yellow Metal is my name Like vipers I see the sly ones, the snake that's called Biden None of 'em abiding by what they might put in writing We should be used to it by now Say whatever for the vote, and then just chose another route Say they'd never kill another, unless that brother's skin is brown I'm just tellin' you the facts, if you can't take it The truth, naked To bare bones, and my thoughts lately Spittin' politics while done with it, sh*t just gets me vexed And now I'm sayin' that I think of it Feeling on the brink of it Whatever it is Figured out some sh*t, at least it feels that way Talk about my feelings, and I don't feel so strange Finding solace, that's a promise in Metropolis for bein' honest Can't write a sonnet without some pain [Vocalization, needs lyrics]
