Goes something like this
Check it out...
Attention span, last as long as a vine
Robot lovers, with high heels, and mascara
Auto-tune rappers, barely bother to rhyme
All these doctors and critics, say it’s all in my mind
But these voices in my head, all call me divine
Cuz I care about my people, like their problems are mine
I’m just tryna find some answers, so I follow the crimes
And my government is guilty, our society worse
I stay up late at night, worried, my anxiety hurts
If you a rookie in this game, don’t be trying me first
I’ll wet you up, and leave your bitch dying of thirst
Like drinking saltwater , you’d think Harvard, was my Alma Mater
I’m not aquatic, but my flow, go da dada dada
I got the product, talking knowledge, cuz I’ve gone to college
Part Jesus Christ, part Johnny Cupcakes, part John Connor
Just a street preacher, deep teacher, no title
All my rivals, know I tear it up
Quickest weapons on the planet, we ain’t scared of ya
Use AR-15’s to hunt children that aren’t prepared to duck
Okay now we playing fair enough...
Did we not define in the dictionary what terror was
Looked right in the mirror… and there it was
Okay now we playing fair enough
And who the only one, that I care to trust
Looked right in the mirror… and there he was
My crowds, got more hops, than a brewery
Only way to get more props, 2 of me
Serving up these verses a service to my community
Real recognize real, do you agree
If not, you should check who your tutor be
How to make it in the streets, I'ma school ya free
Teaching you the things you can not find out just from Googling
Like the humbleness, that Ramen Noodles bring
Or the unexpected depth in a beauty queen
To get my soul to shine, I had to lose the bling
Could be living safe, in a cage, but I choose to sing
My lucid dreams so real because I stay woke
Like a Saudi bank note, I move with Kings
When I cruise the scene, critics lay low
Stay though, let me introduce you to my newest team
Okay now we playing fair enough...
Did we not define in the dictionary what terror was
Looked right in the mirror… and there it was
Okay now we playing fair enough
Cuz that’s our real character
And who the only one, that I care to trust
Looked right in the mirror… and there he was
