[Intro]

Yo, yo

This is Cryptic Wisdom

And this is my remix to Panda

Done in one take


[Verse 1]

Yo, I wasn't gonna use the beat

I was ready to assume defeat

When Lucas beat me to it I would contemplate to Joyner not

And slay it on a usual feat

But I think the Panda's still breathing

Eat it up, looking like bamboo for me

Y'all are booty babooners

Who are three year olds with a mic shoot for me, I run BLANG

I'ma drown 'em out, Momma's standing around and shout

Black and white will make silver

Back up in the ref here, you ain't gonna count me out

I got hits, I do numbers

And you wonder how I'ma be the round about

I run circles around you, 'cause I've got the soul to do it

But no doubt that you'll kiss the ring

I don't got no bling, I don't even have pistons anymore

Got locked up, never put 'em back in

'Cause I grew up, I don't wanna gleam anymore

I don't want another man knowing what I've got

Or the cash I make or the things I afford

Tryna make rap for a living, save money

Not blow it all quick, I don't sing 'cause I'm bored

I'ma do it for my family man, I'ma be a happier family man

My family will never be in the plan

If I readily understand that I had what I need to bang

I can't be the remedy for the pain

Either that or I'll never be what I am in the head

I'm seeing a new battle ahead of me, wore pain

Never rattle my energy

'Cause I know I've got a lot of people depending on me to make it

I relay my pain here in these words

It became clear that my purpose here was to be angry and be heard

But I grew past that, therapy, it hangs in every verse

And as time went by made a legacy for the day I ever leave Earth

I'm an angel I guess, angel of death

Dangerous, maybe I'm stressed

Maybe 'cause I do too much

And I can't balance my life one day to the next

But I get through, what can I do

Either way I know I've gotta lay to rest

Everyone else they wanna say I'm blessed

That is no reason I should stay depressed

And I agree, I am just me

Maybe I'm someone I don't wanna be

Maybe I mess it up along the way

And I'm drowning to keep my head above the sea

My enemies, I do not see 'em

I've got enough on my plate to eat

I cannot stomach the thought of me never being hungry

Even if I cannot breathe, I am a glutenous man

If I want something, I'll get it, then I'll never want it as bad

Startling and mad

I see a path, and take another one to run in the sand

I was the kid you would see in the jacket

That would only wear it in the summer to class

When it was clad, ODD is I could be there the opposite whatever task

I don't know when to stop it all, I can't afford to drop the ball

It's final four, I'm playing dirty as I fear it's my one and only shot to call

I'm breaking your ankles, and running the clock

Someone's always gotta fall

I didn't make it this far to worry about another man and how he got along

Maybe I'm cold as ice, I am a product on my environment

I know the price, chiseled away at my shoulder and broke it

But if you're feeling lucky, roll the dice

I am not a man of chance, but I'll be money that you can afford is nice

You may be sharp, but I am a forge

I'm heating up and you just dull your knife

Man I really had a lot on my mind

But this is the only way that I can vent

Lately I've been feeling out of my time

And don't know how it even rather be spent

I've been looking for a big enough bank for me to deposit my reality check

I don't know what to believe in any more

I guess I'll wait for my mortality's end

But when I get it, I'ma be looking for answers

And I don't know where I'ma be

But 'til I get there I'll put it in stanzas

And I'ma leave you with these chapters

A life that I took and I captured

But look at my laughter, all of my pain

A will that just couldn't be mastered

Couldn't be mastered

Yeah
