[Verse 1: Arizona Zervas]

Just had a call with Atlantic

I got 'em all in a panic

All in my ear, they know it's my year

Just get me a chair, I can't stand it

They know that I'ma be poppin'

With all of this fire I'm droppin'

I am so nice, no red and blue lights, but you know that they gonna cop it, yeah

Back on my bullshit, back in my zone

I got these labels all hitting my phone

I got my fans, I don't give a damn, bro, I just be doing this shit on my own

Started with nothing I made it to something, now I just been growin' and growin', yeah

I'm gettin' older, my bars gettin' colder

Yeah, they say I flow like it's snowin'

Now I drink some to keep balance

These tings loving my talents, heh

She keeps sending me Texas, your girl a cowboy, no Dallas, ha!

Bet that went over your head, yeah!

I bet that you did not notice (no!), yeah!

I see my life through a lens (woo!)

You have been way out of focus, uh!

I'm taking my time, my name on the line, no, you will not get that from me

They need to chill, and I need a mill

Bro, I am not working for free, yeah

I spit these facts, ain't taking it back

'Cause I got the buzz like I'm tasting the jack

I do the walking while you do the talking

And I'm making moves while you taking a nap, agh!


[Chorus: Abstract]

I gotta let 'em know

Industry look like a puppet show

Who's pullin' your strings?

Whose phone did you ring?

I have no Geppetto, I'm on my own!

I came in knowing nobody

Now the whole team in the lobby

Labels got me on the phone

But offers ain't even close


[Verse 2: Abstract]

Nah, I'm gonna need a lot more than that

So that's good day, I'll tip my cap

Seen the type of cats you workin' with

No, it ain't been workin', sinkin' ship

All their songs been boring since the hit

Got the whole world snoring on your pitch

Coulda saved y'all time, ain't that a bitch?

They went viral over night, one-night stand gone before the morning

When y'all gonna finally get to learnin'?

Though their candle's lit, no wax for burnin'

They ain't here for longevity, zero integrity

Gotta be kiddin' me, hits? I got seventy

I'm on the mezzanine looking down on it like "Damn,"

"They shoulda came with a plan"

If you sign me, sign the whole team

Rappers actin' like we siamese

We are not the same, I got hits in every genre of the game

Folk on my album it's gettin' plays

Voicemail on my phone, but I make 'em wait

I ain't pullin' my chips, no, I came to play

I mean, look at the hand that I made, I'm okay!


[Bridge: Abstract]

This ain't Tolkien, why would I have to return the ring?

Maybe I'll jump to the third, 'cause now it's Return of the King

This is on purpose

I swear I'm planning out everything

I'm a step ahead, put the talk to bed

Orbit with the heat, planets in my head, agh!


[Chorus: Abstract]

I gotta let 'em know

Industry look like a puppet show

Who's pullin' your strings?

Whose phone did you ring?

I have no Geppetto, I'm on my own!

I came in knowing nobody

Now the whole team in the lobby

Labels got me on the phone

But offers ain't even close


[Outro: Abstract]

I gotta let 'em know

Industry look like a puppet show

Who's pullin' your strings?

Whose phone did you ring?

I have no Geppetto, I'm on my own

I came in knowing nobody

Now the whole team in the lobby

Labels got me on the phone

But offers ain't even close
