One time for my resting in pieces

Two times to two lies I loved

Three times to the minds who need this

If you gonna read this message, good luck

I even cut my wrists to see if I would bleed from it

Turns out we're all the same on the inside

I even pierced my nose and moved out West to another time zone far from home

One more for the pain, give me one for the road

Sometimes I get piss drunk and make poor choices

Made haste with roses, saw the thorn in my side

Going for glory, not the tie

Don't be a rapper man, most of them broke

Ain't too many clever, and most of y'all forfeit

These friends wanna end me... why success make them enemies

Pills kill genius, should have died as a fetus

C-Section baby, hour late, just stayed seated

They took away our wealth and our freedom of speeches

A mind is a powerful genius

Wrote to Donald Glover, saying please come meet us

Us as in we, as in sinners and cynics

Got over my grudge, got so lost in my feelings

Felt shattered like a million pieces

But I came, I saw, I conceded

When I wrote letters I knew you wouldn't receive them

These rappers live a lie while I die for the truth

...Or my interpretation of it

Changes come around often, mainstream is a coffin

Crybabies and criminals, hate ladies subliminal

Now kids behaving to mimic them

And we slave for bare minimum

Don't you ever want to be free

Or are you running out of choices

Don't you look down on me

As I squander little voices

Yeah, still on the beat though

Give them a peep show

High viscosity; don't be bringing that weak flow

If you seen the vision then you going where we go

They trying to stay where we stay, we stay away from people

Momma I love you but this show can't go on

There's something wrong with the plot

These actors got it all wrong

Been stalling so long, been trapped in a song

Where the beat never drops and the tempo's all wrong

Can't let bygones be bygones

I gonna be icon

Imagine if I heeded when they told me Clone you heated, take it slow

Hate to have to say this but I made it, told you so

Just go, you trolls, you got no chill

Ain't coming for a shout out, bitch I'm coming for the kill

I'm coming for the throne, you will never take this thrill

You will never live this down; how they tried to make me feel

I'm coming alone on my own free will

Apollo phone home now, this shit got so real

It all makes sense now, the twist is revealed

I'm coming just in time, I'm coming for what's mine

I'm coming as a legend, probably die one too

Coming at you as a man full of sorrow, lost my innocence too

I'm coming for a chance to crack the code, got nothing left to lose

I'm coming to your ocean, sharing art, getting lost in you

I promise you
