[Verse 1]

How I speak is like my writing Bit too quick and a little bit messy

Pray that I make that cut, this time but I guess  these kids just might dissect me

From the Accent, to the stuttery flow, but I feel my breath as close as my goals

Despite what they might say with their tones, I know myself and so I let go

Of all the pain and my judgement, never let emotion act as my crutches

Cuz I made my name to represent, the path I chose and I trust it

I’m so Imperfect, and I’m fine with that

I know these days I’m not defined, by ratings, dictionaries or stats

Since my character can never be determined by a Myers Briggs

I know that watching copycats for wisdom, ain’t providing bliss

Waves are washing under me I find myself Inside the mist

These people burning bridges wanna be asking me what the fire did

Well, it left me burnt, left me scarred and left me hurt

But Now my skin is harder, so regardless, I don’t feel the words

Sign is on the door continue sleeping, I won’t be disturbed

I’ll be on my bullshit motherfucker, now I’m back to work

Hate to waste your precious time, I’ll try to keep it brief

I murdered insecurities, and picked the flesh between their teeth

I Tried to find a new relief, with every single new release

But when you find Internal bliss, that’s when you know eternal peace

I take the Marathon, but moving at a sprinters pace

People are worried, I’m taking their spot, when all that they be doing is running in place

I basically forgot that I’m racing, I just love to move

And That’s a shout to Pesci, If I’m losing, I’m one up on you

First second third, give a fuck about a race

You’re my brother, you’re my brother give a fuck about a race

Man I Keep my circle tight, but I’ll make room for real friends

If They don’t care about me now, then I won’t fucking need em them, aye


[Hook]

So Get to know me, this is who I fucking am

Because I found my final purpose, I don’t have to play pretend

Bitch I’ll never change for nothing, not a stranger not a friend

If they don’t care about me now, then I don’t fucking need em then, yeah

Get to know me, this is who I fucking am

Man I found my final purpose, I don’t have to play pretend

Bitch I’ll never change for nothing, not a stranger not a friend

If they don’t care about me now, then I don’t fucking need em then


[Verse 2:]

Need em when? When I’m succeeding in excess

Stain the message with my veins, so best believe the page is read

Giving time of day to some shady people, made me doubt my acumen

With the way that I flip that script, it’ll make it a little bit difficult to act, for them

If I learnt one truth from the catholic men, I, gotta treat my bread like sacraments

Professional, but about malpractice, when I’m gotta take another stab at pens

P ay attention, to the wave I make, you’ll know it’s no damn accident

Try to spell it out, it’s got a deeper meaning, my wordplays per se acronyms

Fuck you if you doubt me I won’t be apologetic, bitch I’ll never change my message, just to get your fucking credit

Locked my name onto a key, I command you won’t forget it

C-o-n-t-r-o-l I shift, escape and then I end it
