[Verse 1]

No longer beholden to emboldening angst

Stash under the mattress, I don't go to the bank

Can't make a move, without unfolding a face

Like, going through the maze without a local to chase

Osmosis robbed us of free will

Take me to your leader I need a free refill

Possessed by cheap thrills and restless nights

Feeling forced to take dead end jobs we'll never like

Pretty sure my calls still get recorded and saved for later

Never snorted lines I just served em for financial favors

Nature vs niche, better stick to your niche

Haters gotta eat, poison the source, count the clicks

Just a cheat code away from legendary status

Solitary at my worst, lightning rod at my baddest

Wandering cemetery's looking for my missing package

I got baggage to bury with loads of emotional damage


[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck

Yeah, yeahm yeah

Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck

Yeah, yeahm yeah

Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up


[Verse 2]

I used to be inspired by the shiny signs and the grandiose

Now I capture light bulb moments unprovoked

There's no alcohol related revelations to note

At best you'll collect shitty mornings and dumber jokes

Seasonal depression's a bummer but I Ignore it

Sativa's in my blood equal optimal performance

Enormous ambitions fit perfectly in my orbit

Real life I'm a wolf NBA jam I'm a hornet

No harm in endorsing utopian concepts

Better to shoot for the sun than dismiss progress

Nothing beats a good defense like a Cryptic offense

Game over like a zombie at a brain eating contest

Head honcho of nothing ganja gonzo

Duped by the fumes of composted convos

Hooray for squatters rights this is my condo

Occupy my middle finger and watch the con grow


[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck

Yeah, yeahm yeah

Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck

Yeah, yeahm yeah

Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up


[Verse 3]

A younger me would greatly appreciate

If people would stop telling me I need to gain some weight

Just because someones skinny doesn't mean they aren't affected

By insensitive projections, let me guess you don't see shapes

Or the size of a fist when it blasts through your temple

You can buy a bag but can't cover Incidentals

Hit some levels incremental ghost riding In a rental

Like, wow I love San Fransisco, but its Sacramento

It's all sacrilege I need a couple acid trips To manage this

Rap to live or live to rap and never have to ask for shit

I'm no Biff Tannen never crashed into shit

Only Exist in a space where loves the sole catalyst

I think about a lot of things some explicit some catastrophic

Learning how to walk away and save some cash for the coffin

Blood sweat and tears, Its just scraps in a closet

Our biggest flaw is getting too Attached to our losses


[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck

Yeah, yeahm yeah

Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Signed a lifetime contract to keep it real as fuck

Yeah, yeahm yeah

Sometimes you gotta burn it down just to build it up
