[Intro: IAME}

This really ain't a shot in the dark

I mean, this booth is well lit and nothing's obstructing my vision

But if it was a shot in the dark

I'm shooting from point-blank and there ain't no way I'm missing

Precise as a brain surgeon

So that lobotomy that I just gave you was on purpose

Like that song that you've heard from DBSR

It's abbreviated, SP affiliated

{Verse 1: IAME]

As far as me, my name is IAME, it kinda looks like Lame

So call me Lame, I got no shame like a voyeur

But spoiler alert, I end up winning this game

You getting knocked out of your frame by this boy here

Like the paintings that were hanging in your foyеr

Don't loiter, wrong place, wrong time

You might witnеss this murder and witnesses get cleaned up

These emcees are like Xena, but more princess than warrior

You missing the point, all I'm giving you's pointers

I once was a minor in possession of a minor depression

Now I'm grown and it's stressed I'm consumed by

But still, I count my blessings and my gesundheits

I moonlight as a private investigator, PI

I pry into your BI entrails of paper

Pretty much I'm a professional hater

But hate that times are tough, I'm just displacing my anger

It ain't my fault

[Hook: Sapient + IAME]

You better get, better get a better grip on your life

Motherfucker, making those efforts work right

You better get a better grip on your life

Or it's a waste of energy

What can be said of this? It's leverage

This ain't over until we finish it

What can be said of this? It's leverage

It's Heaven Noise, you better listen


[Verse 2: Sapient]

You better listen

When I say, "What up, I?"

I am not talking to myself, kids

Feel those voices that get it popping in my helmet

It's not well-lit in there, but I delve in

Hell-bent on living in hell, bent

Oh yea, we keep it real in the fiction

Peeling your wig, now you feeling the friction

Stepping up will get you tooth fairy visits

We ripping rappers' heads of like blueberry picking

If you can tell, I'm not enjoying this shit

Like Harvey Dent with his coin, I'ma flip

You gonna need some burn ointment to listen

I'm pissing on the track, no Freudian slip, no

No hypnosis, I'm on a mish, yo, to get those chips

I got bills for days, I got debt for miles

I got sweat by the buckets, yo it's just my trial

[Hook: Sapient + IAME]

You better get, better get a better grip on your life

Motherfucker, making those efforts work right

You better get a better grip on your life

Or it's a waste of energy

What can be said of this? It's leverage

This ain't over until we finish it

What can be said of this? It's leverage

It's Heaven Noise, you better listen

[Verse 3: IAME + Sapient]

Now Sape says I look deaf (He might be right)

In 20 years, I'll look like I cooked meth (Walter White)

I'm breaking bad, producing something fragrant in the lab

So potent these hustlers slang it out they Lac's

Pimps sell it too 'cause you can bang it on the ave

But heads already knew (What?), Lame is where it's at

A-a-a-a, yea I'm up to bat

We tryna make your speakers shake like a rumble pad

Yes, we run the map to be a part of history

Rappers sucking dick 'til the carpet skins their knees

I need a hit, well, well I swing my arms I'll hit some things

Muhammad Ali, no Parkinson's disease

[Hook: Sapient + IAME]

You better get, better get a better grip on your life

Motherfucker, making those efforts work right

You better get a better grip on your life

Or it's a waste of energy

What can be said of this? It's leverage

This ain't over until we finish it

What can be said of this? It's leverage

It's Heaven Noise, you better listen

You better get a better grip on your life

Or it's a waste of energy


[Outro]

You got to take sick and die some of these days

You got to take sick and die some of these days

All the medicine you can buy and all the doctors you can hire

You got to take sick and die some of these days
