Allow to me just - touch brain with skills that be insane/not bragging about my chain it’s nothing that’s too profane/but mane I made a living off writing all the forbidden/I swear these rappers owe me a Nobel prize or ribbon/or metal or just to settle it mention me with the greats/deserve to be in hammocks and chicks feeding me grapes/the tapestry that we make/it’s art they gonna hate/offended like I’m taking it right off their dinner plate/but wait he cook it up and I sprinkle all the seasoning/running this shit- they can’t keep up they up they start wheezing/breathing and realizing we gotta locked I’m warning ya/complex like brand languages to a foreigner/hombre- respected like Kanye and Andre/pay my rent when you get rich that’s what my mom say/sacrifice/- I’m hitting little joe with the dice/ that’s what you do when industry cheating you out your slice/the older that I become - I’m thinking of ways to scheme/cause when you broke - it cost money for you to dream/my life I will admit/ it’s taken little a hit/ and that was way before - we dealt with this Covid shit/immune to all the people that wasn’t that motivated/cause if they love you - in due time they grow to hate it/and cynical in gods time we reach the pinnacle/ keep in mind that no two rhymes will be identical/no cap I ain’t waiting for no discovery/ on the grind Until I’m deceased and then they cover me/bless up/and drip me with diamonds and from the neck up/6 girls surrounding my casket with they dress up/coordinate and decorate things like I’m an emperor/lines across the street the book filled up with signatures/ that’s the way I wanna go out that’s if ya listening/fighter jets and b 52s fly over Michigan.
Lifes a rollercoaster that’s all peaks valleys/just make sure you good(Gucci)with God for the finale/

Too many rappers not enough mcs momma told me that'll days like these
you in a slump lemme pick you up this a message from the god please don't interrupt all of a sudden see we making rap a sideshow but when I drop it will definitely hurt your pride though strap on in cuz it took too long to manifest lotta emotions this the only one I can express quiet guy with an ink pen that's fully cocked got many flavors like a restaurant that's fully stocked thanks for your order- this is expert analysis I'm out for blood like a patient on dialysis please forgive me in my mind yall should level up y'all delinquent on my ends time to settle up but Nano told me not to hit cha with the full clip so now I'm reaching for the hammer in my toolkit no disrespect but I'm thinking we surpassed y'all they shooting back? Damn dem niggas got some brass balls after all but
Here's a message for the uninformed you never got the memo black now you have been warned do the knowledge cause we master the creative art you just an extra in my film bro just play your part the director is the kid they call anonymous he might produce for you one day-can't make no promises Saan told me any day you can catch a fade scared to battle so most likely they go fetch a blade they should be scared cause this music for the civilized let's be honest they gone find a way to criticize it's in they blood dawg-let em all speculate sooner or later they gone ask your boy for a plate but space is limited and stealing is prohibited I'm glad you visited this sound is that we exhibited no camera phones when I'm in the ring in a zone can't believe your ears baby then you not alone we it got down but

Swear to god/life is hard/gotta tighteAll right I’m readyn up your squad/that hotel out in Vegas ain’t the only big mirage
Life is real yo
Life is real yo
Went from living in a garage to a pocket fulla wads/but I live on borrowed time and im up against the odds
Life is real yo
Life is real yo
It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under community torn asunder/got childhood hunger - guns that clap like thunder they turn runners on this frozen ass tundra/I’m a witness to this tragedy - bullets that defy gravity as he shot him dead in his chest cavity/momma screaming wildly- just yesterday she was proudly at the game screaming his name so loudly/it’s so frustrating/ yeah we ready for change but it remains the same we still waiting/from Marietta to Macon/Detroit to Dayton/with bigger fish to fry CI’s are steady flaking/but it comes down to protocol/kids they thinking they know it all watching Jerome thug out Snowfall/karmas gonna follow you right into the graveyard/spending cash is easy I’m just trying save hard/now you wanna beat em up/ but don’t just to run to his crib my dear son the word is he’s heated up/
And the kids got - no where to go they act like nomads/ the gps directions broke cuz they got no dads/and think about it who out there will be accountable/city say they doing they best but yeah I doubt it though/they just gone police us more with more curfews/confine us to a side of town and talk virtues/stop and frisk lower the risk they wrote the manual/god will judge all of us soon the books of samuel/and kids are like animals up in schools with shottys/no way to defend themselves learning karate/your energy is twisted y’all want a bigoti/don’t care if she intelligent y’all just want the body/I just came to tell ya the truth this ain’t no folly/all that tuff talk will get you done in the lobby.
