[Verse 1: King Miek]
Ring, ring no answer
Divorced from communicating damage
My mom's voicemail reached me
When I was 20 miles north
Could hear the fear in her voice
"You need to get home, heard a gun pop"
Registered I was at the Croton train lot
'This ain't Yonkers?'
Held the phone in shellshock
Alcohol once more had my brain clogged
Little did I know the Red Stag got me ducking the buckshot
Doubting that the police took a mugshot
That line to show Spano
The feel when we lost Phil
Rest uncle, you left at the wrong stop
Does NY SAFE work round my way?
Fast women, fast weapon cause thought marathon
This is a story all about how to survive living in Babylon (Jei)
[Hook: King Miek]
Don't get too, don't get too
Don't get too close, stay away
Got the city on lock, got the game on layaway
Don't get too, don't get too
Don't get too close, stay away
Got the city on lock, got the (ugh)
[Verse 2: Jei Jenks]
They say I'm the new age prodigal son
Left when I was young
Now I'm back for greatness with the mask of Jason
You can't overlook that I'm making a killing
Ain't no shaking this feeling
That we all boxed in
I'm hitting Mach 10 in the Mach 5
I know I ain't the only one to claim he got drive
How our only role model is just Top 5?
We not even in the top 5 boroughs
All these dreams being stop by hurdles
I know they say that the sun might burn if you fly too high
But I came back unscathed
Know most of y'all can't last one day
I did a couple years
All I know is bars, I'm obsessed with the pen
Shed blood, sweat, and tears
Til I reach the bitter end
Will I let it go?
I guess it all depends on
[Hook: King Miek]
Don't get too, don't get too
Don't get too close, stay away
Got the city on lock, got the game on layaway
Don't get too, don't get too
Don't get too close, stay away
Got the city on lock, got the (ugh)
[Verse 3: King Miek]
Unstable
Forgot gunning for the title takes patience
Clipping wings, busters run amok as the runners up
Police state reminds me what is up
Misappropriating the races
From a city where kids be getting smoked over drag races
Need to maneuver my lane - James Naismith
Giving me the ball?
I'm changing the game quick
Takeover the way we lay out the Blueprint
Handing me the rock
What you think a fella gon' do with it?
[Verse 4: Jei Jenks]
"What you think a fella gon' do with it?"
The new pivot, so obscene when I take off
I break off when the herd gets led astray
Off the cliff, now they knocking on Heaven's gates
Levitate
I'm adjusting my chakras
Word on the street I'm Van Helsing to monsters
[Hook: King Miek]
Don't get too, don't get too
Don't get too close
[Jei Jenks:]
I bodied these suckas
See flaws in they structure
Causing destruction when I see their foundation
[King Miek:]
My degree civil
I'm nice with the matrix
Computing their limits
The Chosen One calculates well
Hate is primitive
Wanna reach your prime?
Peep my derivatives
[Jei Jenks:]
We the new syndicate
Looking for justice
Cooking with substance
Won't reach for the burner
Need me Sojourner, I'm obsessed with truth
[King Miek:]
Confess when I bomb freestyles up in the booth
Now it's cathedral
Sisteens are lethal
Painting these lifescapes, my mic is an easel
Don't do it for money, just to give impressions
[Jei Jenks:]
My true confession: the kid is so special
I'm walking through customs
They see that I'm custom
I'm just so accustomed to hating generic
[King Miek:]
Claim esoteric
Here chilling with my inspector
Gadgets on deck in the form of pennies for your mental
Or food for notion
Eat up, the quotes are potent
[Jei Jenks:]
Enough to keep that third eye open
(Let it breathe)
Enough to keep that third eye open
