Was it duck season Or was it rabbit season? Nah scratch that I think it’s rapper season I grab MC’s and get em all deleted Made some red bottoms out my black Adidas I curb stomp em gotta clean my sneakers Game over nigga clear the bleachers I aint kendrick but with this pen shit I get a MC 8 when they need a features You ain’t packing heaters You ain’t had a Nina You ain’t stacking neither When I rap it’s ether Said you dropping soon That happen either You are not a shooter get back on defense I’m sorry bro I’m like super Saiyan super Mario I’m too ruthless slaying On the audio And my troopers swinging Like Geronimo They go adios when I body flows Ask If I’m goat I mean probably tho Went from samurai to a daimyo Now I run the game like its cardio Or a cameraman on the Maury show Think you better run yo Surround sound when the guns go I can get a M and then flip it nigga Wumbo Burn through the page when I write in journals So my pen like a fire when I light inferno I’m blacker than midnight on broadway and myrtle Every line got em mad slight controversial Leave shells in they back like a ninja turtle Did I do that nigga? Like im Urikel I’m like 10 eternals have em turning purple When we blow your face up like a sprite commercial

Crazy flow and though i seem To break the code of normalcy But lately it's unamusing they getting lazy with the schemes I share my 2 cents through music like they pay me for the streams I still carry on the sound like radio raheem So bar for bar im sptting fire like a charizard on tracks Shadow clone im in the zone see a mirage when I attack A winter soldier watch me roll up when my arm get reattached I seen they secrets I expose em im the bob Lazar of rap I don’t care what you sayin I will bolt on any track Smack these devils up then double up to make em feel my wrath And strike the fear up in they hearts like im Saddamn running Iraq I got the world right in my palms don’t be alarmed when this shit slap i feel my patience getting razor thin They make believe and play pretend I turn em to a vegetable and Wilt em like I’m Chamberlain Don’t make me call the favor in Im aiming with the laser in I had to kick that fire like i'm fighting with a blaziken Fit the bill and built to last Sitting still on shards of glass They worshipping idols and im the last of the iconoclasts Couldn’t teach this kind of class Made a plan no happenstance Tell em check the numbers x em out like we back to math I got em all shook Now im getting more looks Not the car that I push But I’m behind the 9/11 nigga I am George bush Pull straight out the abysss How did it end up like this? I connected all the DOTS I Don’t Over Think Shit

our generation too complacent with remaining nameless trade the making of our ages gaining nothing but a paycheck got us training for some some wages degrading just for a payment you a number in them pages where work conditions is heinous and nothing short of outrageous but always short us and pay less but you could be on the pavement so it's all good aint it i mean you should be gracious for that enslavement considering where i came from it's more shells all around like a summer of cicadas the cadence distract me from where the pain is i take it and make a painting im sick of waiting mark a X where the days went and a X where i'm aiming i put bars together like a preacher putting palms for a amen so if the beat is like a angel y'all treating lyrics like satan but yasin taught me it's more like an equation 12 jewelz to build a nation 10 percent gon keep us caged in and 85 lost in dazes but only 5 know it's changing we breaking snapping the matrix that's why im practicing patience and going back to the basics but i rather put a bullet where my brain is before im contemplating paying my way in sway em with playlist placements somewhere between underrated and moving clubs like some cavemen it's so amazing respect it like lowered gazes in a world so racist like ebola cases i put 18 years into this marriage like viola davis my paranoia reigning never need payola favors to make sure my neighbors all is A list i'm punching out now pay me later damn

They talking on the Web but got nothing to du bois They sleeping on the kid I analyzed em just like Freud if we rapping bout some money then you know that i might join but y'all ain't making money, y'all just making some lite coins And slight noise You can’t see from the nosebleeds The price going up way past all the floor seats I seen em firebending with the way that they hold heat You die chasing paper you gon end up like Georgie 🎈 how much a dollar cost i ain't much for words so i let the dollar talk money make us sick that's a dollar cough but the right profit off it like Dr. Oz and preachers claims they prophets for a dollar they can talk to god i pocket a dollar for every martyr on the amistad and i ain't made it yet i ain't rich i'm barely set money just a instrument so i blew notes like a clarinet y'all ain't hearing it these triple entendres they gon triple my dollar that crypto sinking my wallet but i ain't tripping i got it if i don't sit an office then i'll be shipping narcotics just to be hitting my targets my brothas got dearly departed just for a quarterly profit he treat the block like a market a single night in the darkness can pay for a quarter of college they say that work ain't too honest i rather be a fucking liar than working i'm dying every work involve some violence so we all had to move and steal like some pliers cause when our taxes go higher that's fuel for the army suppliers

killer pen my corpus lead to corpses your corupus hoaxes who wrote this its atrocious so sick i went from po tents to potent that'll hit you in a bit like microdosing my third eye open they hoping to stop my wave but that's half the ocean i put a stick to these snakes like the staff of moses lately i feel like i don't have emotions it's hard to focus when you don't have opponents that's braggadocious i don't have to post it i can back these omens and put a piece to ya head like we striking poses when i write it's motion that means i move strings with my hands just like composers ok no warning but its bout time i goes in the flows is bogus im floating coasting who the coldest im frozen but still heating up like global warming got em running with every line like coders coding you gon have to play that back like reocrded moments and where the crown at im supposed to hold it i reaped and sowed it rose to all those who opposed it they switch teams quick in the spur of the moment no demar derozan but i still rose like Rose before the broken bones and soreness so mis understood some hungers good to remind you this house of cards will fall when you're under wood so i been locked in like a dungeon should no set backs can hold him back and no blunder could so i hold nothing back it's no punches pulled even though it's a bunch of obstacles in my optical under pressure depression but still pressing that's bittersweet like lemon pepper

I ran across the sand Til glass tore up my heels and feet I learned to be a man By how I feel after defeat Never feel my victories Only clean and then repeat Got my 3’s down to the T I learned that shit from Kobe Man somebody shoulda told me This shit would be so lonely Mostly feeling ghostly Hope we closer to the Holy Hold it down just like a goalie Move around like a shinobi Worldy demons Sink they teeth in Gave us beatings Til we Toby Uh That's how the world be The devil get up early And he never catch a Z that's why my rollie came from digging gold like a nosebleed that's blood diamonds for my first love, rhyming never broke my promise but she hurt my pockets every note that i wrote my momma im so sorry for the dirt your first born was so unpolished but you couldn't a seen it coming you ain't no nostradomus you ain't no nostradomus So I you ain't no nostradomus i mean most forgot us if you saw where my father got it started you would be startled that i even made it through my first quarter of college i had to scrap for a dollar with half and half arnold palmer's life was sweeter when evil leaders and beatings wasn't upon us to be honest i wasn't always this violent a product of reaganomics i kept the peace in my pocket but in my defense your honor my dreams of getting even became my reason for being weakened my breathing and my reach to nirvana I ain’t releasing my armor Til I see peace in Wakanda Too many reasons to harm us Black in the hottest of August Different Salam in my palm Nah I don’t speak Dali Llama And I ain’t hiding my hand I’m underground like them pyramids That lie in the sand I dodged a scorpion at six I could died in Sudan Where the heat’ll crack ya egg And get to frying ya pan It’s just a part of the plan So I
