Verse
Violence begets violence
Egads we kept silent
We brag we keep wildin
We gasp but seek solace
We depressed and don’t take time to decompress
Be abreast yet still conditioned to eat the flesh
Look at health and can’t see the wealth
Be obsessed with ass cheek and breast
The facade non binary
All 0s and 1s in this matrix where we confined to be
It’s all by design to me, geometry
But I stand tall, gee I’m a tree
If I fall in a forest will I make a sound?
Taken down by machinery, mockery
Deux machina
Ops watching me/
Tryna triangulate my signal
Isosceles/
I probably led em right to me,
Hyperbole/
The nerve of me…
Thinking I’m of importance overall
Protocol/
No default
Know the ledge or know the wall

Verse
Never bite the hand that feeds
Or smite a man in need
When a few shillings at least
Can put that man at ease
We be
too quick to judge
Like syndicated court shows
Horrible
I oughta know
Speaking from experience
Sweating like I’m at a hearing
All evidence says I did it
Under fire, under siege
You never wanna feel this shit
Ridiculousness
As weird as it gets
Gotta stand ten toes
No grip on the slippers
Vision is tunnel
Money swirls round in a funnel
Once in a blue
I have at it like
The money booth
On game shows
Plains clothes in unmarked vehicles
On saints row
Never paid tolls
Just a face show and it’s okay go
Lay low but I get active
Aggressive getting to it
Otherwise I’m passive
Massive presence on records
Not a lot of ad libs
Or adjectives
Can I live?
Or is it too much I’m asking
Granted if I ain’t speaking fact
I’m laughing

Verse
Go to malls to escape the house
Like I’m held captive/
Erica Pratt to
Kidnapper’s failed tactics/
Bail practice too well at this
Pale comparisons/
Don’t give ‘em chance to tell the narrative/
Failed arrogance
Excelled at assonance/
Batting averages 275 that’s what practice gets/
Perfection yarn spun by those
Ain’t doing nothing/
Immaculate conception ain’t doing nun
On god/
Move it or lose it
Proving something/
I ain’t proving nothing proofs in the pudding
All the work I’ve put in
20+ summers, I’ve raised enough of ya
Now to reap the benefits of harvest
They’ll sleep regardless
Hard-pressed arduous
Y’all god fearing while I’m god blessed/
