Black Cloud - Intellectual

[Intro]

Nothing stays the same forever

Not even me

Uh, uh

Check this, check It

[Verse 1]

Something must’ve changed me, niggas might defame me

But things that used to taint me, no longer seem to restrain me

Strangely I’m no longer sad, mad or angry

Shame-ably it pains me, feeling like it just ain’t me

Mainly what do I tell all the people that thank me

Namely those who ordain me, aside from can you blame me

Motivation the "Game" was supplying me it's no longer providing me

Jason Williams something killed whatever was driving me

Worrying less about the past more about the now

Less about what I’m going through more about the how

It’s for certain spent 30 years being fit for hurdling

Now I’m a different person with nothin' to overcome and I miss the burden

For certain, got 6 figures in my sock drawer

And honestly this year I expect to make a lot more

It’s hard to live without a budget when life is corrupted

In a house that's so peaceful that I’m trying to disrupt it

Scream fuck it not because I have to but because I love it

Which makes me as fake as the puppets that I speak of disgusted

Without a paddle up shit’s creek

Dig deep and see it ain’t life it’s just me

So be warned as I’m putting on like I’m reformed

Only so y’all can accept it as being my norm

Maybe I quit working on me, maybe I given up

Maybe I been lying to myself maybe I give a fuck

[Hook]

It’s enough to make you black out, pull a Mac out

Aim it at the sky while I’m running from the black cloud

Every day we playing cat-and-mouse

As I watch it hovering over my glass house

It’s enough to make you spazz out, pull a Mac out

Aim it at the sky while I’m running from a black cloud

Tired enough for me to pass out, tired of running from the black cloud

[Verse 2]

I say it loud hoping someone can hear me clearly

Trying to make my girl get it she don’t know that it’s very scary

But she’s a nympho she can be barely near me

She still want the God in her, think she Mary Mary

The prettiest bitches just want to service me

While niggas' prettiest bitches wouldn’t get a word from me

Some of you haven’t heard from me, some of you wouldn’t mind murking me

Find that news funny likes its straight from Ron Burgundy

These niggas ain’t never seen dough

They can dream though I bump into ‘em in between shows

People say I'm Emo, what that really mean though

Is though the song can’t breathe I actually make it seem so

I lost loved ones because they couldn’t deal with me

Cherish whoever still with me though the merit's been killed in me

Normally it’s just me and my lonely mind

Everyone storm is different so this forecast is only mine

Fans recognize my misery uplifted me

Shifted me to my epitome, guess the curse is a gift to me

Maybe its serendipity, maybe it’s weighing on me physically

Maybe I should man up and tell God not to solicit me

Been medicated, meditated, sedated, hated

Character assassinated, all theses years I masqueraded

Hard headed, if it was on my mind I had to say it

Tongue on the devil’s pitchfork to see how disaster tasted

Rap is fabricated, rappers are so exaggerated

Wouldn’t be scared of the truth if they weren’t castrated

Grab a mag, spray it, surrounded by people that shoot it before me

That'll unconditionally love my beautiful ugly

Now lemme speak to who I cater to

Would you love me the same if all my weeks were not favorable

Promised to maintain being unique but relate-able

All while suffering from a disease that can do away with you

Poetry on the beat, spoken-word for the masses

Therapy over Pro-Tools, every word is on acid

Consonants on Kush, every vowel is blunted

Highly wanted this whole organization privately funded

This is bigger than the Eiffle, this is alert the public

Had coppers bar our tunnels and our bridges with the rifles

Sentences meant to stifle, this is a man aching

This is the dam breaking, contraband in the making

This is panic unveiling, got potential but I never met it

He be trying to come over, it seem like God won’t let it

Either he never got my invite or he just dismissed it

But if all I’m hearing are the sounds of blackness, why am I pessimistic?

You’ll never progress if you’ll never try

All I ask, let every word I birth, never die

My wings spread, but when I met the sky

Weather didn’t change like I thought and had me petrified
