[Verse 1: Dekay]

Had something inside, though he couldn’t provide

A wifey and a kid, and for those two he’d die

Swallow his pride and do what he had to do

Just to make it through the day to day bullshit they pitch at you

Though he’s keepin’ his hands up and he’s hittin’ hard

Sometimes life throws curves and stitches leave scars

But it doesn’t matter though when the love you’ve got will never fold

Even when flush and anger rush, you never give up

You never let go, ‘cause everybody knows

Once the story’s told and the curtain’s closed that you gotta go

Even with a ticket to the next show

You’re never cold with a hand to hold

And that boy needs you so

You better stand up, even when rushed

With a blitzkrieg of bad luck

You can’t stand stuck, man up

Or even woman up too, with that Kung Fu

Iron fists and Lucy Liu, crouching ego hidden passion, K. West fashion

Guns blazin’ smashin’, kickin’ ass and

Chewin’ bubblegum can be troublesome when you’re out that

Big League Chew, and when Power Rangers shoot at you like “pew pew pew!”

Who knew that shit you dropped was pee-ewe

And this kid’s doe, and mares eat oats

I’ll probably eat ivy too, ‘cause I’m a grimy dude

Who likes limey food like ceviche and sopes too

And plus I’m super serious on April fools


[Chorus: Lovefoxxx]

There's something inside you

It's hard to explain

They're talking about you, boy

But you're still the same


[Repeat]


[Verse 2: Gradient]

There’s something inside me that needs to release

I’m hungry inside but rhymin’ is what’s feedin’ the beast

While frequently I’m seekin’ to be keepin’ the peace

An easily defeated MC I’m ceasin’ to be

And luckily I have a few that’s believin’ in me

And wanna hear the shit I say when I’m speakin’ on beats

It might be a bit redundant but I’ll make it repeat

I’m leavin’ everything on the table I saved you a seat

So rest in peace, I’m blessed to be

Feelin’ so alive, right?

The attention is kinda sour

Call it limelight

Limestone, mind blown, I’m on Rhyme Zone

Nice flow, let it bleed, type O negative

Get a sedative, it's a good verse, pretend it is

Euthanize the animal inside, no, let it live

I invented this, like Edison

Bet it is complex, Oedipus

I’m next in a long succession

Of awkward men who would not address

The consequence of talking nonsense

Like me. With leftovers who the best?

I stay hungry, Budapest

A moral lesson, stay low-key (Loki) like Thor’s brethren

Furious Curious George or Costanza

Deviate from the stanza, I make advances

Stole a line from Acid Rap

You could say I take Chance’s


[Chorus]
