[Intro: James Brown Star Time Introduction ]


[Verse: James Sydney]

Eviction notice on my door but, I'm zigned up

Gucci can you help me with the rent?

Louis can you help me with car note?

Ralph can I get a loan for the money spent?

Gun and roses

Protection affection

I won't raise my son on building collections, more connections

Don't be out here with checklist boy, don't be reckless

I don't want you to be a fuckboy jr

All that Netflix and hulu chilling will probably ruin ya

Government hands deep in the dope in black America

They elected a Cheeto, is there hope for America

All my favorites turned out to be monsters

Eldridge Cleaver, Bill Cosby, the doctor

Louis CK, Robert Kelly with the shades

Can't even get idol tattoos, gotta watch who I praise

Premium pussy ads on the gram, new institution

I mean, I get it, you ain't broke and that's your resolution

Beyonce over Madonna

Planning trips to Africa to see my native mama

Boy we ain't shit

Used to say your ass wasn't huge, now it's sick

All we did was beg for your nudes, flip the script

Selling premium snapchats, that shit was slick

Fake titties in the club like we don't beg for the shit

Fine at all times, wearing make up when they sick

Convoluted misogynists, signing the Mental Liberation of Women document

Can we stop the shit?

They hopped on the flow I'm pulling bandit wagons

I'm the monster in the woods, I'm running through ya cabin

Laconic in person, King of sonic in all of my verses

No you can not wipe me down, I don't need Boosie detergent

Hit ya senses, know you see it, know you smell it, know you heard it

All this information I'm just tryna word it

I made it when Jay decide to turn me to a verb bitch

Until then I'm handing out smoke like a herb bitch


[Chorus: James Sydney]

Going up, Mount Kili looking for my holy grail

Land of broken promises, it's a holy hell

Believing in your gods, believing in your idols

Immortals and luminaries, that's a holy survival

5 flames 5 flames

George and Bobo aimed the guns when the boys came

5 flames 5 flames

They set the burbs on fire when the verdict came


[Verse: James Sydney]

It go LebronBA, BradyFL

Drakehop, BeyonceandB

Door of ignorance wisdom is key

This a five mic flow, gotta 5 flame me

I gotta do it, I gotta prove it, I gotta show em

I gotta get it, I gotta feel em, I gotta know em

Leaders of the new school, they don't really like us

YouTube comments, everybody wanna fight us

Narcissus the prototype for selfies

Advice from queen Mack, advice from King Velli

Don't show the world how you deal with the underbellies

Make sure my daughter stronger than Norse Elli

The word rapper still roll off the tongue like bitch from a Pimp

Hip hop coming back in rehab with a limp

Complain about race it truly doesn't matter

But economic empowerment, blood splatter


[Chorus: James Sydney]

Going up, Mount Kili looking for my holy grail

Land of broken promises, it's a holy hell

Believing in your gods, believing in your idols

Immortals and luminaries, that's a holy survival

5 flames 5 flames

George and Bobo aimed the guns when the boys came

5 flames 5 flames

They set the burbs on fire when the verdict came


[Verse: James Sydney]

Why can't there be more than one winner?

Why so many losers struggle to eat dinner?

They put in all that work blood sweat time tears

Just to lose to trendy poppin beginners

I remember watching Basquiat talk about being black and not

When Europeans make something it's Picasso

The homies make something it's Negro Picasso

We adjective Euros when they're blanco diablos

Illegal transactions over apps

Trappal and Trapchat

The new money laundry, thank the internet gods for that

Long as you make it look clean they got Gain for that

Fast money makers give em 5 stars for that

Y'all don't understand that life y'all just like the look

Why is what we say is real life will have you shook?

You spend your whole day around other thugs and crooks

Of course you don't trust nothing but the book

The flow hot like Satan in hell on a barbeque grill

Cooking hot links with hot sauce on em

Then he went to kitchen, put some hot fries on em

Got damn, I miss Ye, I went to Chi Town on em

Lick her edges like Reggie

Pull her wig off like Troy

While my chocolate in her chips, call me young boy Ahoy

Yeah, got ya heads ringing, but I'm not a bell boy, yeah

Hell's Kitchen flow call me hellboy, yeah

I got my soul on ice, I'm nice with it

Either pay attention or the pay the price with it

Couldn't kill me with a head shot, boy I'm Obie Trice with it

Lethal bars man I can probably kill ya twice with it

Sometimes i see black girls and I get a lil nervous

Stuttering in sentences don't know what a word is

Am I in love already I don't know what's the verdict?

Yes, a nigga did it was a accidental purpose

I ask what Pharrell what a nerd is?

He said it's marrying success but keep flirting

And when you rapping gon and throw your own dirt in

They try to stop your show dunk on em like Erving

They be tryna stop the boy from swerving

Bitch, I'll stop swerving when the curve end

Yeah, this that dope flow I let the birds in

Yeah, clock in the studio putting work in


[Bridge: James Sydney]

Yeah, five flames, five flames

They should've shot the body down when the verdict came

Yeah, five flames, five flames

They should've burnt the burbs down when the verdict came
