Barbells - Intellectual

[Intro: MIC POMPEI & GZA sample]

Success is freedom but failure can mean death

Insidious times we're living in, got the soundtrack to match it

Success is freedom but failure can mean death

Indigo, POMPEI

[Verse 1: MIC POMPEI]

Big boy, stunting with my eyes closed

In and out the trap was like Hoodini with a blindfold

Before the iPhone, had the shit on flight mode

Smoking Mary-Mary Poppins, gotta pop in, my bro

Brrrrrah, dodging coppers and I found gold

Seen my uncle in and out the bay, I bet he found coal

All I see is love, I love some melatonin

Mix it with some European bae, she take it to the dome

Ain't got personality, I think some rappers need to blow

Welcome to the Terrordome, heroin and methadone

Momma was my hero, when she die I bet I'm left alone

Swear upon her ashes imma burn just like that shit I wrote, heh

I get the bag, I get my burner dose

European luggage with some budgies, you would never know

I kept the hush-y from the un-gies

Shorts under the trackies for the strackies just in case they call the triple 0

Lad

Let's go

Give a bitch a habit, make her suck the devil through the glass

High fashion superhero, boarding planes with packs of shard

Pack a punch like Manny Pac, nose-crunching - stagger past

A rehab with a fit in your veins, proper collapsed your arm

Streets dirty, I ain't talking taps when I say hot and cold

I was shocked cause the fucking kid thirteen

Shit changed, no more playing in mud

Teenagers laying on the nod from drinking eighths of that mud

My mum said "Get healthy", kept my mind on Valentino

Levelled up to beast mode and speak about the evils for my people

Participated? Never, but I saw the weed and shit through fuckin' peepholes

Blue lips quiver then a flat line and soon you feel a breeze, bro freezing

Then a needle to chest, see the walking dead will never leave you

Fuck

Then a needle to chest, see the walking dead will never leave you

Success is freedom but failure can mean death

Success is free-freedom-free-free-freedom but failure can mean dea-dea-dea-dea-death
