Tell em walk along the carpet, no they can't touch my flow Yeah I seem to go the hardest when the devil knock at my door So I turn the music up louder, tell that bitch that I ain't home Yeah I know he got that gold but my.. soul, won't allow me to give in I just stick to my pattern pen, yeah it ends when it begins In my head I see my friends, they be winning, maybe sinning That's okay because I get it, yeah they with it, don't forget it Staying real, you never gonna catch me in a fitted Sag my pants and talk like someone else is for a fucking image Y'all about to visage, I guess that's your true religion I'm a fucking man up on a mission If myself ain't me then I should kill myself They be off the drugs then they try to tell you 'bout your health And I don't need a wand or a magic spell Just to gain revenge on everybody, y'all can walk to hell I could steal your moves maybe, like I'm Perfect Cell But I'd rather rise up out the ashes, catch the urn that fell And some would say the earth is hell but they don't even get it That the earth is fucking hurt as well I'm the cleverest, I got em looking desperate If they wanna touch me they gon' have to reach the Everest Seen the seasons on the hillside like it was Pepper Ridge Under the bridge, listen to the chili peppers kid Really don't rap fast but I do rap cool, if you gon' cap then it's back to the trap dude My shit's sick, don't need no at you, Denny Cascade taught me about a taboo Ragu all on my plate, got pastas, rastas all on my face Saying they don't wanna be inside the world that they hate, but then where would they play? Bullshit comin' my way like ole, okay y'all on your ass like all day She don't like foreplay but she gon' shake that ass outside on a snow day? Okay, okay, slow it down for em' for a minute, I've been in it like Coldplay Playing my songs like all day, never gon' stop bitch, no way Now I ain't been doing this shit for a long time But I be working so I hit you on my own time And it ain't personal, I say that shit on both lines It ain't personal like bags we putting to the side I know some people whose only enemy is their pride I know some people who really, really be down to ride Off on a journey and some would say it's concerning But they ain't really deserving, they earning a life of burning And in the future I'm seeing the tables turning But I ain't gonna come shoot you, yeah love is what I'm asserting Flirting like with the devil, but sometimes she an angel All girls are not the same and that's word to my girlfriend's halo Don't pass her like hot potato, we do our own thing We got our own style and she got her own things Maybe one day I'ma have to go and buy a ring or a thing That'll tell her everything, what I think, what I see, what I truly do believe Yeah the truth is what it be, but the devil singing like a motherfucking jubilee Saying that the bad guy is somebody like me All because I'm saying what I truly do believe

Man I'm feeling better than, better than I ever been Real homies talking and the honesty is evident Like you heaven sent, bury you where the presents went I'm talking bout the power to tower over benevolence And now I'm sitting here wondering where the presents went And everybody rushing like they never going back to bed, you never stretch Lucky like a triple seven, I'm a filthy wretch probably never go to heaven, Real hard, Yeah you talk tough, I make boss moves, I don't talk much I be staying in my lane for the long run, I be chilling with the homies cause it's all fun Now back to running shit, I don't f*** with the government That sh*t is not a secret, I really don't like the government Thinking you up to something, They got you like a puppet b*tch, I don't think you bluffing, But think of who you f***ing with, That ain't for discussion, and if you hating on me I don't see it coming I'm stone cold, yeah your b*tchin' isn't nothing Do a day's work, then I get to humming Got a long road, so I better get to running Tell them b*tches pipe it down, I'm working on the plumbing Leave a body builder blushing, build a body of destruction Don't know why the people rushing, nah See me eating, they know they might get a piece of my Plate, like I'm on a dinner date, But it's really just the homies eating on a Sunday I remember people saying you already fucking great Now I'm bout to drop an album, ain't nobody catching fades I, Remember sh*t, better respect the penmanship If they don't wanna hear me rapping, they gon' try to blemish it If I got the change, I never minded spending it Cause you ain't ever worried bout a dollar how I'm sending it He don't take a breather, we don't either run on sentences Boy if you gon' start it, then I'm sorry, but I'm ending it I can feel the energy, amazed at how intense And it's a lesson to the story Hit me up, I'll tell the rest of it, gone

Really I'm out of my mind, thinkin' bout time, maybe this shit'll be fine I get the word from the clock, watchin' it tock, no I cannot be reclined Really who fuckin' with me? I am like three, rappers in one, I'm a beast I know the statement is bold, but if you listenin' all you can do is agree Kickin' it under the sea, homie Poseidon he got me in free Where are my enemies? They like a jet to me, sendin' me up to the sky I can leave Never be chargin' my movements are clean, never be chargin' I do it for free Hit you with energy goin' so Gohan, never be chargin' my cell is on green Got people that I really love, I love when they tell me what the fuck is up And as below I think it's what above, shit, put that under the rug Never intimidated by the climb, yeah I be levitatin' by the vines This is the sound of legends on the rise, yeah I'ma cut you off from all the lies Really I'm out of my mind, thinkin' bout time, maybe this shit'll be fine I get the word from the clock, watchin' the top, no I cannot be reclined Really who fuckin' with me? I am like three, rappers in one, I'm a beast I know the statement is bold, but if you listenin' all you can do is agree I don't be braggin' and boastin', I just be rappin' that flow like the ocean Tryna get people to dance and appeal to livin' so real you get with the notion Omens all around me, I wanna help out by bein' astounding I wanna be great just like you found me, I wanna be great just like you found me But really I'm feelin' so typical, I just wanna be the man that's settin' up the pick and roll Never gonna fuck up, I ain't missin' all the visuals Plus, I am not that tall, but I guess it really ain't bad at all Cause everybody know that red never gonna dunk, but they never ever doubted that the boy was gonna ball (That was really bad)
4.
It's my lazy day, get to chillin on the couch and maybe fade away, Smokin' turned into a routine everyday, Now I got a bond with nature thanks to Mary Jane, You talkin sh*t I take a hit and don't participate, Feel like Thanos but they never even get the fade, Don't know why they all complainin, guess I missed the hate, Time to innovate, time to find a way, yeah, ayy, How you feel? Tell me how you feel, Does the sh*t that keep you occupied really leave you fulfilled? Chillin ain't something that you can write up on a will, But I'd give it to you if they put that shit inside a pill, I can't stress for nobody no matter what you say, I gotta pick up the pace just so I can demonstrate, That I ain't lyin when I say that I go nuts, but I would rather lay With my girl on the bed or the sofa, I feel so heavenly, But I always look over my shoulder, awareness never sleeps, But I always look over my shoulder, awareness never sleeps, But I always look over my shoulder, awareness never sleeps, But I always look over my shoulder, yeah (Hook) bitch I'm a dog but I got a fat feline, Big Mo the homie know I got him and he mine dreamin of a world yeah down on the seaside, me and my girl down for the tea time I be feelin like I got a lil beast sign, it's the mark on the back of a great man everybody seem to feel so behind, but if they all wanna make a change gotta make a stand
