BST - Intellectual

Dear Globe, I dedicate this ode to your earlobe

But I'm still bold - Despite the memories my years hold

The Fire Next Time - Rendering my fears cold

Obsolete - While I march into the beat

If walls could talk - they'll tell your tale's a disappointment

Till I blocked out the failures declaring I'm self-anointed

Can't wait for no promotions - Fuck it, I'm self-appointed

Now every phrase I coin in creates a mood and I join in

Etched in my dome - like widow's peaks - It's bitter sweet

Picture me - A permanent fixture in this industry

Nothing's what it seems - But in my dreams

I've been instructed by some kings "They'll try to cut you by your wings"

Now I...loot and plunder - I pulled the truth from under the rug

Hated my heart, I feel it running my blood

Utter disgust - Fuck the system, I make music for us

Giving that cinematic feel, I swear it usually does

Hook

I'm finna wild out if I don't get what I want, nigga

I'm done with asking ya'll and no this ain't no front, nigga

I work this hard because I know just what I want, nigga

And you can't take it from me, no I ain't no fuck nigga

Chorus (Repeat 8x)

Blood, sweat tears

You ain't fucking with my...

[Verse 2]

(Yeah, yeah...yo)

Finna reap what I sow - Then I'll be self-made

Oliver twist, hollering, "Bitch, now I'm well paid"

Yeah, I said it - I'm unapologetic

If it ain't about the progress, forget it, I'm diabetic

That sugar-coated bullshit you kick - Taking that away

Donny Hathaway got me feeling like Cassius Clay

Right before the name change...

My level of convictions, my religion, I consider this the same thing

So I'm spitting that Mohammad while I'm on it

It's what we have in common 'til they stuff me with embalmin'

Heart of a lion - There's no removal of a champ

Me and my camp will make our moves with no approval of a stamp

Uh...feeling super confident - Watch properly

Sloppily tryna steal my spot ends in botched robberies

Reflexing techniques - He just infects beats

Keep it unique, get out your seat and respect me
