Part 1: Instrumental: Piñata by Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

[Verse]

I don’t try come in with a mob deep full of soldiers

I hold my own/ a young prodigy/ pop shots at your throat

The havoc I wreak when I manage to evoke that fear in your heart

Be wary/ a fairy-tale I’m not so beware the backlash

If you try attack me and I snap back

Hats off to you/ don’t feel too badly about it

Enough with the acting

Got a palette full of gold

And a palate that evolved to reallocate my vocals

Allowing it to flow with no matter what’s going through my head

And when I pen it down I raise the level up and get it out

I never settle ‘cause I can’t

If I wanna be the best/ no rest/ no end to the bars

So I jump back up and I tell ‘em all

Nah/ ain’t going nowhere

Cerebellum going hard

Flex when I step to the mic

Pulling out all manner of stops

All the ammo I dropped in my barrel

It’s cocked/ if you manage to man up for the battle

Its on/ bring your barriers

I’m carrying my shadow and God

Fuck your loss

I fear more feeling bored when my challenge is gone

Part 2: Instrumental: Deeper by Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

[First Verse]

I wonder at times am I the only one who thinks the way

I do/ I have my own world inside the world

The rest feel like my rivals

They seem more integrated mentally and socially

But me I feel removed and it’s affecting me

More and more as I grow

In a state of repose my eyes fall

When I’m meant to be staying mindful

Of whatever’s going on at the time

Too many things breaking their way in my brain

And I feel like I’m going all psycho

Improving a bit man I might do

Then I crack and I’m back in the cycle

Reflective and pledging to make a progression

Until I regress and I’m full of regret

I reckon it’s time to take heed of my dad’s advice

For real and be the man I’d like to be

Not prove my family right

They’ll see when someone hands the mic to me

And I set the ground alight

[Second Verse]

Oh my days it goes way deeper

I feel like everyone else is stuck in a daze sleeping

All cut off from a bigger picture mentally

Tied up to their own cerebrum/ nothing else

Disconnected from the wider world

I tapped into a thought that pushed me in a void

That three years later I tried so hard to just avoid

But it’s still there/ real clear

That memory that still instils fear

And it feels weird even now when tryna read it out

I can’t describe it/ it’s hard enough when making sense of it myself

‘Cause I’ve been hiding this for time

‘Cause people just won’t understand it

They’ll label you insane or tell you nothing really happened

And I hate it! This mentality is so basic

Learn some empathy I beg of you

Just because you never had it doesn’t mean it don’t exist

Physically, emotionally or mentally

Sad that you ignore it to the point that it’s upsetting me

[Third Verse]

I talk to people smoking weed who see with three eyes

Forget the first/ forget the second

It’s the third that peaks my interest

I’m quick to get some answers just it seems like

The further I go into it those minds they kinda meet mine

Not to dwell on simple things I dive in with a deep mind

To the point sometimes I feel detached

At times I just don’t feel right

Reality’s choked out by these steel pipes and to free myself?

Obsessing over something else

Keep my mind away and that leads me on to kill time

Reading/ watching TV/ anything easy just to feel serene

I’m sealed tight when it comes to weed

I tried it once/ took in too much

Was tripping out that whole night

And nah I won’t try again ‘cause I know myself

So don’t try attempt to even be tempting

I’ll just roll by unphazed

Trust me I feel waved upon a day-to-day

You’d never dream to put a joint up in my mouth

If we could trade our minds for one day

Try stick with mine for one day

[Outro]

So yeah, goes way deeper

Deeper than me and you

That’s from me to you

None of this surface level

Basic mentality kinda thing

I’ve gotta go to work man

Fuck…
