came proper not a name dropper i am not my record sales
check the resume carried enough weight he could tip the scales
stalemate braille fate feel it breaking through your fail safe
change is coming just at a snail’s pace
still bustin and still banging percussion
clutch a mic like i never ran from nothin in my life
love it leave it or just be too blind to see that
the truth is if i want it i really probably don’t need it
use to feel like i was wise beyond my years
then i realized i just had some stupid peers
word to the fear that keeps a big fish in a small pond
he couldn’t swim upstream he never got that strong
ain’t no shuck and jive in the struggle and strivin
shinin not just survivin til i’m dead i’ll be live
I seen a lot of em come in and front and i never been one of em
dumbin it down to numb surroundings when the profound got too cumbersome
I get down eye level with the snakes and as high as you can without wings
pardon me i believe you got a piece of my steez caught in your teeth
cheese youre working it
it’s the cure that’s hurtin em not the disease
flirtin with death one thing certain im getting it
one verse and the vision shifts
rip that sit back and watch the division split
call it bricker brack pitter patter pocket pick battles
we all white at the bone and black at the shadow so who wanna race
lace this on a case by case basis
cause i love cats enough to say i hate it to they faces
place my faith and my bets at the same table
nexus connected fatal as soon as they say go
fuego is fuego miss me with the way they play roles
creatin for them pesos is makin it cause they say so
the whole concept was progress
pop best to leave your flawless goddess looking a hot mess
not so complex but not as easy as we make it look
you either shake or get shook
take or get took
(Chorus)
