The Mess

Uh, Yuh, Yuh, Yuh
Uh, Yuh, Yuh, Yuh
Yuh
First off, fuck Instagram, you niggas too obsessed
Still gone put out major clips, then Imma log out, wish you best
Fuck these fleeting thoughts, ain't perfect but I'll work up to the vets
Fuck these breaks I'm taking, faking, I'm a constant mental mess
It's a bet if you down to work but don't be skipping steps
Imma etch, say you hard as stone but out here, you get stretched
Tecs facing niggas, I can't even fathom all the hate
803 a work-in-progress
Too much traffic, we can't race
Niggas see you doing great then the support gets washed away
I want everyone to prosper, chasing profits leads you stray
Out the way, my biggest songs ain't hit communities, I aim
For respect inside the game, I still never found my ace
Fuck these random conversations
Y'all too worried bout the change
But judge everybody's pockets, no ones rocket's in they lane
Now we all hate the change
Uh
Never worry bout getting popular, these words a product of my pain
Time I allotted to jotting most often gave me wangs
Struggling with purpose, say I hurt you, I convert the pain
Works until I search my brain
Often solve it through the page
Product of environments that sold my happiness, the newest slave to the gains
Constantly see ends to my reign, these gloomy days
Gaslighting niggas in range, I feel insane
You can't even tame all the rage, where's my shame?
Assed out and gripping to fame, niggas be lame
Break from them mindsets, my nigga
Know you doing great, just define it, my nigga
These trials on a timer, my nigga
Find them early risings, my nigga
Get to grinding, my nigga
Mock up a dope rhyme then find bliss
Get home with mo' time to float, gliding
These flips make me wan' fry shit
I see these flows like the water hit my eyelids
Make mo' lines, we elevate and climb shit
God builds you up from a dry stint, align shit
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Meal Tickets

|
|||
Yeah
I got homages to pay
Accomplishing shit for days
Commas to my name then college just leave me drained
Still, I maintain a GPA for the aim
Life is a scape, the goat is going for game
Ice in my veins, I'm over floating, let's bang
I ain't conversating if you don't know how to braid
And Ian stop the pacing just cuz you patiently waiting
Worm told me add some flavor
He need a favor, I'm Flav
Publicly, I'm enemy number 1, for the pain
Still, I'm painting pictures, we gotta shift up they brains
Yes, SC got the talent, now let's get fame
Hopefully, that's viable towards the goals to get paid
Soon as I get the shit, cop the ticket, that plane
Coasts of Jamaica, I got no space to complain
Yeah
Uh
Feel these real tidbits
For the garms, we on guard for that meal ticket
That's on gawd, see me gone, I'm a magician
You play the pawn, out in Guam
Blind from real sickness
Uh, Yeah
Feel these real tidbits
For the garms, we on guard for that meal ticket
That's on gawd, see me gone, I'm a magician
I got that pressure in my palm
Readers will get it
Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Uh, Yeah
All this trauma I can't tame, I'm my happiest on the page
The crackers entertained, abominable on the stage
Backing really fazed, the game gotta be played
Hacking at the lames, I'm already the gauge
Please hold the shade, you blocking me from the rays
Hip-Hop stock, forgot that I need a raise
Oh mane, I'm not phased
Getting hella topical, the raps can not age
Dodging every obstacle, the opposition blazed
Pick the most specific shit, a mage with the plays
Hating is prohibited, I haze all the fakes
I'm sipping tea like a prophet
I'm finally gon’ top it till I profit, I pop in the ranks
Trend topics
Stop gossiping
Grown men peeping with binoculars at the profits
Feel these real tidbits
For the garms, we on guard for that meal ticket
That's on gawd, see me gone, I'm a magician
You play the pawn, out in Guam
Blind from real sickness
Yeah, Uh
Feel these real tidbits
For the garms, we on guard for that meal ticket
That's on gawd, see me gone, I'm a magician
You don't wanna get involved, niggas will rip shit
Yeah, Uh
Write a song, then I'm gone, exploring in other ways
Bored from y'all plays, I'm orienting the stage
Reversing all the plagues, I'm burning verses and sage
Working all my ways, I'm cursing all of the fakes
Stuck up in a cage, let's break out
Proactively take routes to permanently slay doubt
We came from slave routes, now they just pay now
Know I don't play 'round
I ain't from they sound but I might pop up
Shit straight from Greyhound
The dirty flows
Ain't heard of those that fake counts
We take out
Uh, Yeah
Feel these real tidbits
For the garms, we on guard for that meal ticket
That's on gawd, see me gone, I'm a magician
Reading psalms, I'm appalled at the ill spirits
Yeah, at the ill spirits
Yeah, yeah

Questions

|

Yeah
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmm, uh, yuh, yuh, yuh
Steady on the path to get it, accurately spread rage
Pedaling my passionate tactics, packing up naysay
Mostly from myself but I grew my health, mental gains shape
Sped past the lame fakes
Feds laugh when they takes
Yes spazzing makes ways to credit raps and make plays
Crime pays for temporary pap', wait
I'm grinding, make timing just for maintaining constantly great takes
Was stuck in a lame place
I'm pissed that we can skate but I'm thrashing the game
Greats will be on my plate
Dates, when I'm in the rank
Fakes, you nigga is late
Only aces in my space
All foes should show they face
Beat cases, elated that I get picked to come and paint
My stories meant to illustrate
This healing that I feel is great
This drunken power needs AA
This mic gives sobering reality, let's make way
Waiting for that payday
Receive and eat my cake way
Cutting through the eight-faced heathens in my space
Landing on a great break
Learning how to take bass
Uh, 10K
Uh, Yeah
Edging closer to my etching
Imma end this as a reverend
Waking up is still a blessing
Just address me as a veteran
Throwing stones ain't impressive
Let me know who's in the question
Don't get bold in a session
Yeah, Uh
God be my witness I kept it a stack
They question the position with no interest, can't relay the facts
Rap resumes ain't as stacked
Niggas tryna cultivate some fans before I fade to black
Venues packed from all the tracks, I'm ultimately aiding acts
Every case, I'm faded, verses plated
Crack from certain pads
Curses circulate my past
I'm working on asserting tasking, always bottle shit up
Farther, I go harder with the garments, spilling drip up
The fence I'm not a part of, outliers getting clipped up
I doubt that you could fix us
Niggas fix they lips to tell me I ain't dope, can't pick up
Verses phoning around, y'all teaming up for the crown
The second verse a hearse, fuck a feature, it's in the ground
You stop seeing niggas work, y'all hoes can never slow me down
Grinding til a 10K verse running a hunnid thou'
Wow
Yeah
Edging closer to my etching
Imma end this as a reverend
Waking up is still a blessing
Just address me as a veteran
Throwing stones ain't impressive
Let me know who's in the question
Don't get bold in a session

Yuh, Uh
See I got spare timing
I’ll spend it to grind sentences
Omnipotent rhymes find me
This blind synthesis
With my syndicate
Signs that I must stop censorship
Don’t need studio time
I’m in the crib blending shit
So smooth, to my benefit
The tribe been legit
Gone make some businesses
Co-signs ain’t my interest
This independent shit
I’m in this bitch at the kettle
The tea spills when you meddle
Gotta start on certain levels so my foot ain’t off the pedal
I can tell these niggas jello
Finna get rich with no bessel
I’m really not one to settle
But still adaptable when time calls to ace shit
Testing niggas and they flagrant, I’m fed up with the fake shit
See me steady pacing but drive accord like a spaceship
yung nyx the vision, gotta aim for my greatness
And the beat give me visions, wake up, and my day lit
Lyrical clip got extensions, hope that he finna make it
Protecting my energy and I enter on all ape shit
This straight bliss
Running in these ASICS
Niggas be hating when I found my route and got to pacing
Criticizing how I’m living when you chill with Satan
Now when I’m shining with them grills, keep ten paces
Or 10K for that matter
Pray that the pockets will get fatter
Playing Sonder on a Saturday
Niggas could never get madder
Getting racks to act sadder
Improving through the actors
Uh
Ayy, 10K
Yeah
Blend what’s trending
Throw it out with your kinship
Ten flips enter
Microphones, hit the gym shit
Pick my sinning
Niggas’ steady repenting
See no ending to the tribe
We go in lit
Yuh, to the tribe, we go in lit
You on my way to winning, damn, you, finna be late
And I ain't fucking with your guys if your energy fake
Tendencies say more than words while the symphony play
I get a glimpse of what I needed through the lens on your face
Glass breaking, I’m past faded on my 10-minute break
And I ain't going back to broke, can't get a slice of this cake
Ask where the knife at
Thinking that you live like us, now where ya life at?
Let you get that shit off your chest, now give the mic back
Intermission, killing these niggas
Thinking they fly, this a hijack, I can't relate
Bypass all of your bullshit you can't be saved like this a pool pit
Reverend, stepping on niggas, think they the cool kids, oh, shit
I beg to differ, who you kidding?
Got me livid, nigga, pulling out your liver widdit
l split ya kidney then I mix it like the chemist nigga
Little nigga ain't fucking with me 'cause I'm the illest nigga
Now where the doc at?
I'm overhead like a top hat
Tell them turn me up, now where the notch at?
Broke it, supposedly posted up where the block at
Focus
Helping you frauds, tell 'em to stop that fronting
Only with this pen, I could have the block jumping
I stay with my dog like I'm hunting
This nothing
Blend what’s trending
Throw it out with your kinship
Ten flips enter
Microphones, hit the gym shit
Pick my sinning
Niggas’ steady repenting
See no ending to the tribe
We go in lit
Yuh
To the tribe, we go in lit
Yeah
To the tribe, we go

Yeah, uh, yeah
I missed out but it be like that
I’m pissed now but it be like that
Axe, you reek like that
I make it count and I seek out facts
I read doubts but I speed past that
Cuz see these raps where I speak on wax will see noms
I lead bomb tracks
The peons passed, it’s beyond packed
I Deon dash through all these cats
I aim for phenom
Just be calm while we call stats
Y’all be all cap
The streams all hacked
The company won’t comfort me
The money needs to come to me
So I can live comfortably
We need to up it
There's been some funk in my functions
Don’t wanna do nothing with myself
I need guides for my health
Back on the grind, I’ve dealt
I need to find some wealth for my needs
But still, integrity is on top speed
I’m so glad I dropped “Keys”, I’m back
Did hella tweaks for that
Product is peak and packed
You could release a slap but they can screech your wagon
“What happened?”, the reactions when they see fallbacks
They freeze y’all stacks, can’t eat off that
It’s easy facts, they cheat y’all racks
But it’s alright cuz “We like blacks”
It’s all cap
You can keep y’all cash
I tee off bats
My trees all last cuz...
I missed out but it be like that
I’m pissed now but it be like that
Axe, you reek like that
I make it count and I seek out facts
I read doubts but I speed past that

Count (ft. OTC Sean)

|

Yeah
Been patiently waiting to come up
Through times, I've been working on self but I feel like I'm stuck in a loop
And I been patiently waiting to come up
Wait
I've been seeing this shit on repeat
How I'm patiently waiting
Now I think it's time that I jumped in the scene, uh
It's about to get hectic
I’m the chosen, I've been selected
I'm sick of the rap gang, It's infected
Guess I'm a vaccine, I've been injected
Now I'm on a come-up, black excellence
Self-indulged in the money, rich decadence
I’ll have my bitch at my calling or beckoning
Working her shit out like a training regimen
All this adrenaline got me lurking on the streets for a specimen
Honda maneuvers, I'm way too shifty, moving like I'm a veteran
Screaming fuck these niggas like I got no melanin
I've been holding it in, now I'm stuck up on ten
Lost on where to begin
Now I gotta treat the gun like it's wifi
Hold up, I'm lagging, I'm loading back in
Now I'm trying to get connected to any nigga trying set trip
On the wrong plateau, got me feeling like I'm Nardo
I don't gotta turn on Demon mode cuz with the semi-automatic, it be feeling automatic
I done had it up to here with the bullshit
Any nigga speaking out of line can catch a full clip
They just stepping stones on my way to my property
Using my come-up to build my monopoly
You only get caught when you not moving properly
I got one too many niggas tryna copy me
It's unfortunate that I'm an anomaly
Shout out JID, he rapping shit flawlessly, and thank the lord I got a bitch with viscosity
Still free to gang forever, hope you know that
Cruising through the city, feel like a throwback
Back to when we worked the block for a slow rack
I remember having glocks in the coat rack
Now a nigga raising stock for some more stacks
But don't think I'm slipping because you'll get your toe tagged
I tried to tell ‘em that I'm on a come up
Been working on rapping and grinding till sun up
Capture the bag and acquire the motto
Fuck all the faith, put your life in full throttle
When money come fame and the bitches will follow
Trust me, those niggas you fuck with just dottle
That’s why their BM suck me like a bottle
I told my family, don't worry, I got us
Then reach deep in my bag, like the fries at the bottom
Had to put the swag out just to be in your top ten, I was locked in.
Steady doing post-work just to get a drop-in
Quit with all the talking
Number-one assist king
So l had to go and…
Count up the wins and like every second
You a spec, I’m stepping
Understand, I’m septic
Tanking all the weapons
Taking no rejections
I go dumb and special
I don’t need no prepping
I don’t need confessions
If you in the dust, I’m steady auto-pressing
Full throttle
Letting out the energy
Fuck the false impressions
That won’t intervene
You put an end to me in your dreams
Fuck the this and that and the in-between
In the den of thieves
I ain’t giving pleas
And I ain’t appeased
Honestly, I’m peeved
Please break it up
The boy bands made to bite the dust
Your old friends getting all the trust
You oblivious
They won’t hit you up til the rent is up
That’s a mental punch
Fuck your dental up
We can’t flick it up
Can’t be no slack cuz I picked it up
All the fickle stuff ain’t inventing stuff
All this written stuff put me in the clutch
Got the smith and tucked
Y’all end it all for the little stuff
Giving little fucks
In the kennel crushed
Ain’t no gentle stuff
The slot open, Imma fill it up
You ain’t real enough
Uh
Heavy cental stuff
Got loud raps cuz I chill enough
Instrumental stuff
Up the hill enough but I drill enough
And I’m still enough
Just conceal the cut
I don’t feel enough
I don’t deal enough
Finna end it all if I pick a rental up
Fuck

7. |

Yuh, Mmm
I done past some lost souls
Stuck up on these crossroads
Truth is getting tossed out
Hate when niggas talk bold
Promises are not kept
Knocking on the wrong home
Interrupted when I slept, ain’t no hitting my phone
Top ropes getting out
Hot clones getting clout
Hot coals in soul, I won’t give up now
Love my dawgs and my sounds
If you not from the town, leave a message, hit the pound
Ten toes to the ground
Jot a song, that’s a bet
I’m along with the vets
I’ll be gone, get the jet
Like some tongs, pick up checks
Sing my songs, that’s the set
Armed with palms, the lord give me breath
That’s all through these tests, make sure to do my best
I can’t assume the best if I don’t move and stretch
The shot is truly wet
Yes, I’m truly blessed
Feel like I'm stuck in between way too many different things
Mismatches they sending me
I don’t know what niggas mean
Niggas tryna finish me but I don’t got no enemies
I’m tryna fight my tendencies
I’m tryna fight my old ways
Got battle scars and growing pains
Niggas show no love because they grow up and all they know is hate
Living check to check
Nobody I know died from old age
My dog wasn't old enough to say his knees hurt by the time I saw his face on the T-shirt
Remember on his head, he had no gray hair but the shelter told him cut his dreads or he can't stay there
Life is just a game and niggas out here ain't gonna play fair
Life is just a game, these niggas out here using cheat codes
Life is just a game, you gon’ get hunted or go beast mode
Yeah
Uh, Uh
10-K
Yuh
First, my spirit and mind break up
Then every day I wake up
All this shit that I’m tackling
Adamant ‘bout some paper
First I’m touring the Vatican
Sad again four years later
Formattable opponent
Now I turn to herbal vapors
Mind made up
But reminded by my savior
God made the test cuz that’s the shit I’m made for
Frauds wear a vest but forget about them lasers
Cards in my deck get you played for the pay stubs
Johnny never test me, y’all don’t got the flavors
Say with your chest, please, you gon’ meet your maker
Jock into my next steez, as salamu alaykum
Hard to do this Quest, shit outdated on that paper
“Mama, I done made it” is a sentence I can’t wait for
But then again, I’m blessed with this journey, let’s have patience
Going from the rec to a check
Bless the people that I play for
Hopefully, I’m someone y’all can pray for
This shit too funky, gotta flex, drop a bomb ‘fore I tank ‘em
All these takes get insane
Now the candace is trained
All that sour in the past, nigga, this a new strain
Y’all gas up niggas with some new fame
Just to spew some butane
Improving with new range
These trials bring new change
It’s a few good things
Pivot with a new swing
Niggas know the truth, mane
All the shit that I’m proving
Don’t misconstrue the new game
Tryna spread my true wings
Niggas on to new things, uh
Uh, uh
New things, uh, yuh
New things, new things, uh
Yuh

Uh, look
Liken me to paper if you kin
Hiking if you ain't want me to win
Just give me the mic and Imma hype myself again
Anxiety leaving
They gon' type up all the trends
Came for stipends
In a cypher, they all blend
I been fighting in the wind
She like me for the hype and cuz this benz
A Pisces, we just lying in the end
I see signs that the timing ain't begin
Tryna pipe it, it depends
Highest when escaping from my sin
But your Highness when I'm skating with the pen
Not the safest in this den
If I think it, Imma say it, slashing Satan for the spins
Give me space and Imma win
We ain't friends but they don't get it
I could never quit it, this shit quidditch on the back end
Usually, I'm snapping or sliding, just rapping
Where we going next?
Shit, I don't know, I ain't mapping
Stacking up the passion
So tapped in with the tactics
The writing breeds the fastest
These lyrical assassins you matching
The lanes that I'm passing
Run it, I been lapped in
That pain never passes
It's packed, I've been past it
Pockets been elastic
I'm acting as an asset of fashions
The grace of God just keeps matching
My energy is back in
You hearing me on wax, only facts for the budget
Acting clean-cut for the cameras, y'all love it, I been above it
Truth will never plummet
Not that I'm perfect, Frontin'
But soon, I'm finna run shit
I can't stomach what y'all come wit
Fucking up the function, the guns, and the drug shit
Addicted to the dumb shit
Even I'm blazing up shit but I ain't puffing what y'all plugging
Y'all buggin'
Y'all buggin'

You know what I’m saying?
Like, bruh (Yeah)
Like, bro, like There is nothing wrong with like–
Ev– not even a collaboration as in, like, doing music, bruh
It’s like reaching out, respect, all that, bruh
Like it’s so simple just to like simply say “Yo, I see you”
“I see what you doing”
You know what I’m saying?
Like, don’t nobody see nobody
Yeah, Yeah
Uh, Uh
Lead me up to the score
We get buckets, fasho
Y’all got lucky, it shows
Keys get stuck in the door
Fall from grace ain’t the goal
We abrupt with the flow
Ease my suffering soul
Heed my guts and the glow, yo
Uh, Uh
Gotta come off
Uh, come off
Come off rude if I do
Look like a fool like I don’t
Move in and cool all the smoke
SC, the movement, we woke
Come to conclusions about hope
When y’all misusing the dope
I gotta live what I wrote
Spit in my face but I won’t
Ain’t the same space but we grown
Need my respect for eons
We on the eclectic evokage
Noting all of my hopes
Yet can’t share with my folks
Cuz sometimes to get the results
Gotta maneuver alone
Niggas be new to my songs
Keeping this tutelage tone
Lemme keep it clear
I represent the passion
Revered
Opposite of beggin' for tears
Beggin' for hears
Tones make y'all feel you wrong
Wrong ways, I had to take it
Now...
Long way from the roots
Searching for some hidden truth
Getting rid of the loose ends
This shit gone depend
On my closeness with wins
Surrounded by my certain sins
Need some growth
Water my seed
It’s either sink or swim
After class, I’m back to the crib
Times I pick and choose
Activities to keep it cool
Not even introverted, just got shit to do
The titular student
The mic just keeps my cool
Uh
You’re only set for that one musical route
And if you do more in your life then you have more to express yourself by, you feel me?
And then it could all just go ahead and tie back into music (Yeah, Yeah)
It's all about expression…
Uh, Uh
Hay days need to be my payday
Know I’m finna do it for my namesake
But niggas saying “screw it”
Need a main pace
Bonded on the bands
Business makes space
Now they take me seriously in the game
Wait, Uh
Internally save face
Maintain faith
We heard the same bass
They ain’t in the same race
So why compare for hate’s sake
This a great take
All the lanes break
Luckily I been straight
Staying where I’m embraced
Gems in the big face
Give it all, the mix safe
Gotta watch the intake
Chemistry with 10K
Bubble up and then spray
Leave em in the wind
Wraiths carry big tanks
Pace that you can’t fake
Cake for the big dates
Everything the wins make
My dawgs finna get plates
Uh, Uh
You can call til I crash
I’m All In at last
And that ain’t even have of it
Gas, on y’all ass
All I ask…
Lead me up to the score
We get buckets, fasho
Y’all got lucky, it shows
Keys get stuck in the door
Fall from grace ain’t the goal
We abrupt with the flow
Ease my suffering soul
Heed my guts and the glow, yo
And you can collab with anyone, everywhere
So really, you know, when it comes to collaboration, especially if you know that you both tryna get to the same place
You know, why go separate ways when you could just collab together? (Exactly)
If we both know we going– we tryna get to the same place, we tryna get from point A to point B, why take two different routes when we could hop in the same car?

Purge
03:09
|
|||
Uh, uh
Daily writtens
'23, my aim is itching
Not for ain't shit decisions, I'll maintain a sentence
Killing beats so much, shit, might maintain a sentence
The pen my murder weapon
Convert the hurt to etching
The gretchens all up in my face, I curve and earn my essence
Back from satan's clutches
Upfront with all the substance
Intaking green and dutches
Want smoke with all my rough ends, sometimes, I feel I've toughen
Sat in silence so long, I'm listening to nothing
Made advice but taking nothing from no one
Ready to purge my best friends
Said my worth wasn't next, man
Sediment in my sessions
Don't settle in successes
Learn your lesson
You're blessed and christened, I'm living
Breath just keeps giving and earth just keeps spinning
But hurt will reap, willing to dig some dirt
Feeling so weak in the present
The crescent set, as mentioned
This death for a pension
9 years and he gained ascension, we moving different
These clips won't end, they pick a block and spin
He playing with blocks, the bleeding won't stop
And how I get on beats tryna slide, making bops
I be trying just to make it to the top
Without pushing plight
I'm on the books to fight
The knowledge took his life
They dumping cans this time
Y'all do a dance, it's fine
Duck from the plan, it's fine
Duck from the plan, it's fine
Yeah
Back up from the vision
I'm actually the menace
Fax, I been depleted, my back had no defending
I can't bother with fission
I'm back from those decisions
Assertive when these nerds hiding
Serpents be in church, in your face smiling
The world's spineless
See niggas eyeing
The purge occurs less decided
The clique's dying, yuh
The clique's dying
It's supposed to be gang shit but where the gang went?
I'm been wondering and angry that I can't flame this
Niggas judging this
My aim miss, no motivation
I been tumbling, this lame shit I've been contained in
Self-inflicted wounds, knowing what pain is
But can't avoid the majors
Nigga motives always changing
I'm on the same shit
On the totem, been on main shit
Can't have the same bliss
It pains me to say this but there's no one I can hang with
No face-to-face shit
Rap niggas can't create, y'all be so complacent
I bet niggas waiting til I'm A-list
The test wasn't shit, no playing games shit
The check don't got trust when the fame hits
I crept and the leeches in my face
Bitch, no fazing, so underrated
But I'm tripping, judging niggas in my circle
Hard to explain this
Blame fits
I'm sorry for all the lost essence
Schedules keep pedaling and I seem Iess invested
No progression, all the lessons that I left untested
Home-team disappointed by my limp inflections
This for all my real ones, I been overstepping
I know that we love confessions but I had stretch it
Steady tunnel vision makes me lose perspective
I'll try to do my best, shit
Back up from the vision
I'm actually the menace (Yuh)
Fax, I been depleted, my back had no defending
I can't bother with fission
I'm back from those decisions
Assertive when these nerds hiding
Serpents be in church, in your face smiling
The world's spineless
See niggas eyeing
The purge occurs less decided
The clique's dying, yuh
The clique's dying

Uh, 10K, 10K, 10K
Uh, Ayy
Keep your kilometers
Fuck the demic, we go for opulence
Keep your promises
Fuck the image, you not gone stop this shit
Counterproductive days, I duck away, never on top of shit
Forgot my options, slip into the phase, mental cage
Questioning age, race, and what I bring to the game
Aiming for anchors and angst
Keep up, I came for the change
They give you lint for the day
Then demand albums on page
You signed to strengthen your state
Songs that I sang ain't the same
Sanction my place in the game
Promise I'll end up with fame
But not grow old and insane
What in my brain?
This the new plague
They screw you for the crude game
Can't sue 'em, this a new place
Can't find the pace
Your lawyer minds his bank, collecting cake from your case
Then charges more just in case
Encasing me in doubt
Anger me, I'm needing out
My A&R completely leaving me for clout
Guide me through this heated drought
Budget just depleting, ouch
Crickets when you see me out
Studios receding
Can I be so lit?
They leave me out
Label peace treaties, I'm still bleeding out
Fiend for routes out
Out, out
Uh
Never promising shit
Booming your clique
I want the commas, hop off cock in this shit
Never comment on this
I ain't stopping til I get all of my accomplices rich
Accomplishing shit
Ok
Never promising shit
Booming your clique
I want the commas, hop off cock in this shit
Never comment on this
I ain't stopping til I get all of my accomplices rich
Accomplishing shit
Stop promising shit
Booming your clique
I want my clock up and the—

Yo, yo
Check, check, check
Ahem
Yo
Mmm, yo, uh
Yuh
The more random shit get, the more the tandem’s legit
Take ‘em and trample the fits, then hand ‘em cans as a gift
If niggas tamper with tips, ramble ‘till y’all get the gist
Handle the samples with clips
Check all the ammo with this
We rocking ame with ‘thyst
Copping a gem for the wrist
Then rock it out with the risk of niggas splitting ya wig
Ain’t hit the gym in a bit
Still, tell the bitches you rich
Glimpsing, I’m genuinely pissed
I’m always fixing a dent
Still never ditching the whip
Loyalty fixed, I’m equipped
Sneaking to rumble the shit
Moist flow, supercritical
Nothing but all subliminal games
Spit with prehensile range
Learning to pencil the pain
Otherwise, I’ll go insane, not again
That dope isn’t helping your brain, fuck is you saying?
If coach won’t put you in the game, do you got game?
In church, I developed the range, you better sang!
Embellishing fame
Hellscape was never the aim
Good people pelted with blame
Gotta maintain some composure
Laughing in the face of the devil, he get to' up
I won’t ever sniff on some cane for some exposure
Make shit explode
I’m finna blow, this ain’t over
803 gold, I can’t hold you, you know us
Too cold, I ain’t Russian so why y’all rushing?
You in the function doing nothing
He be sus if niggas among us that we ain’t trusting
Metro gone shoot, he be bussing
Niggas was never on nothing, we clutching
Uh, yuh (Clutch, Worm)
10K, 10K, 10K, yuh (Ayy)
They makin' time to arrive
But sadly that’s not defined
If I say it one more time, then conclusion is I tried
I remember that we said our direction was gonna fester through the penmanship made
We both thought it would be great
I’m in a better state
Now I know we weeded out the ones that only hesitate
Blatantly redirecting trajectories, you sealed yo fate
Only moving when you see somebody that you grew to hate
At least that’s what it feel like
I hope my momma know I’m right, I said we gon get it
So now I’m in till the finish
You looking to yo left and to yo right and then you see who gon be resilient
I see the life that you leading big
And I support the wins
But don’t let it be the reason, the losses you comprehend
Fail to see attention but you still want to make amends
I made my pen
Admit to the instrumentals that I’m the one dealing issues
Man they only feel you when it’s relevant
Prevalent energy come around when it’s enemies
That want sound to be casualties
Counting up more than green
I’m more than mortified
That more mortals are bonafide in their tries to tell lies
Understand it’s a disguise
Get to know you notice, notoriety what molded you
We never talk no more and now you think I’m oweing you
Laugh to the bank and now it’s my turn
Look at how I’m, uh, ayy, walking through
Devils damn near robbed you
I still don’t think you mindful on who around you plotting
I ain’t God and I ain’t trying
You ain’t gotta hear my lines
Might be better off not benign
But the rhymes that I’ve written make me get to wishing that you would listen
I just want peace over envy, the mission
Worm
Yeah
Everyone watching what you doing
And it's something that you just can't escape anymore
So just make due with what you got
And everything will fall in line
It's all about the trials
Trials and error
Trials

Uh, uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, yeah
Niggas was missing, now I'm conflicted with the big stuff
Anxiety kicking, slimmest of pickings for my mental
Eyeing these writtens, niggas dismissive with my pencil
Mood swings hitting, nigga, I shoot, just tell the kin "Duck!"
This shit different, the only goal is put a win up
Proving this shit to myself, over with the big Ls
R.I.P. all of the greats, dreaming for the big sales
Niggas only want the help, checks ain't coming in well
Bitch, I don't got it, so don't be stressing for the intel
Knowledge is power so ignorance don't make it end well
Grinding my flowers, what I deserve is what I inhale
Package in, it's getting lit, I hope it mix well
Facts again, while niggas tired, give 'em big hell
Craft and blend all my in and outs, we pen well
Don't get too stuck in this shit
Patterns, know where you fit
Waves get fumbled, that's it
Try your luck, you a spliff
Flamed and cut from the clique, we may humble a bitch
Keep Ks coming and get up from tumbles and shit
I won't mumble for clicks
I wasn't hiding I just dust my shoulders and sit up
Cut when I'm equipped
Cloth that's draping the fit
Lost, you niggas ain't shit
This shit come with a gift
Yuh
Uh
You want it to last, he won't insert friends
You asking for cash but won't put work in
The output is ass, you can't convert sin
At first, I'm hurt but then I had to learn pens
Came from the dirt, still there but I'm searching
Aim from the earth, we finna be skirting above the stars
My God seeming so pertinent
To murder shit, I'm perched, beats getting hurt again
I ain't perfect but prayer will help insert a win
Feeling perturbed again, I never heard of kin
Problems stretching niggas thin
That's from a certain trends, count yo pockets
Envies keep boxing
Compare and wear conflict
Niggas dare pop shit
I'm finna flare hot shit, stop it
I been on "I don't know" timing
Just left my soul gliding
That shit like emotionally rolling with no license
We driving slow, vibing
Passing a roach, lighting a way for you niggas
SC will have goats, timing tells it all
Ain't felt the fall but I'll survive it
This silver rope's my lining, gripping it close, climbing
People watching like I ain't thriving
As long as you trying and move silent, you'll prove the truth's hiding
Who knew we'd stoop climates?
Amongst the crews lying
These so-called groups tied in
But y'all seem loose
My friend is not a title they cherish
I see through smoke and the mirrors
Faded but I ain't embarrassed
Niggas was never for caring
My well-being is tearing
This life shit ain't the fairest but Imma land when they staring
Yuh

Yeah
Uh
I ain't in the game for co-signing
I can't receive fame for consignment
My hunger's never tamed in this climate
I be under pain when I'm not writing
Niggas see me swinging for the fences, Imma line it up
To the skies, I'm a comet
I can't trust a soul on this island, I was failed by the pilot
Crashed landed, ain't the flyest guy
I can't lie, my fire stopping, uh
Still, hella truth in my shit, let's find these topics
Niggas ain't make rules to this shit
How we get profits?
Not that that's the focus and shit, but I make hot shit
I wanna find my worth and get rich, give me some options
I know self-doubt been a bitch, I need some progress
But then when you get out of it, you be looking selfish as shit
Want me to stop it
Finally found routes to my bliss
I hoped y'all would watch it
My blessing got blocked up
Y'all honestly opping
I ain't for the secrecy, ain't pleasing when you popping
You shake with the loosest of grips, niggas vagina
Harder to push kindness when the world's out-of-pocket
As I'm rising, yuh
Step aside when, yuh
I be rising, yuh
See me rising
Up thinking "Who's finna get what I be jotting?"
In shadows that I truthfully fit, mentally boxing
Found what's the root of that shit, gotta be honest
Harbor all this rudeness I get, internally toxic
Use it as a tool when I spit, no cycle's stopping
Praying that the sooner I sit, these diagnostics will heal themselves
Assuming I'm sick
But don't see doctors
Running in them circles and shit
Ain't knew the sides
And I'm working on just letting go
Not myself, I gotta mold better habits
Said that magic gotta go
Know the funds are coming slow
Rapping tactics give me comfort
I been under feeling low
Too alone
Wolfing on the hair, I'm so unaware of how to cope
Wear a cape for everyone but wonder where niggas go when I need 'em most
Nothing holds weight when I spoke
Shit funny til you the joke constantly
Honestly, I just need some time to think sonically
I'll express my woes
Every friend looks like a foe
Four times I done cried in a month
I fix up and ignore all my lows
High enough float and flow
Can't even remember goals
This blasphemy
Ian giving backing to niggas who won't blast for me
We black and you stabbing me
It's been bad for me
We black and you stabbing me
It's been bad for me
Man, yuh
As I'm rising, yuh
Step aside when, yuh
I be rising, yuh
See me rising
As I'm rising, yuh
Step aside when, yuh
I be rising, yuh
See me rising
