Yeah

Chitown!

I took my time, got the clock in my hand

Move at a snail's pace, long as the distance the same

My idea of speed is to cover distance over time

So I took it slow, like your sister asked the other time

My pen has done everything but sign a record deal

But still I murder them, can't take the kill outta my skill

I'm giving them more classics than Literature classes

What if Romeo and Juliet was a rhyme scheme?

Schwarzenegger with an attitude, I terminate the police

I'm so underground, my flows been keeping hell lit

Let's trade lives for a minute so you understand my blues

But I'm Imelda Marcos, you need more time to walk in my shoes

I know a couple fans that think BARD was perfect

And Halcyon Days is better, oh god, I'm legend

I'm a mix of Nelson Mandela and Julius Malema

That means I love y'all but I'm not taking shit from anyone

If I could change an emotion, I'd change the world, in fact

It's the same letters that spell "heart" that make "earth"

Sometimes I love my girls slender, that's without the ass

So I got one who looks like a dollar sign, without the S

I'm about to catch a body like cheerleading bases

25-letter alphabet, I don't give an F, shit

My hit list has got all the names crossed out

Made their coffins while they looked, and made sure they saw dust

Shooting with both hands, ain't no netball here

Got these twins causing trouble like it's Suite Life here

If we sell each other our titles, then I'mma buy a biter

And sell a goat, niggas thinking I'm the Baby Driver

And I believe in nightmares, it's not a dream 'til it scares you

They ripped me apart but I grew myself back; I'm Deadpool

Father never drove a car, wasn't rich enough for that

His dream's I never drive a car, 'cause I'll be too rich for that

They thought they were GOAT, I made them raise doubt

They assumed I was GOAT, I made them erase doubt

These flamingo rappers can't put their foot down

But like Lyons and Appling, they need to raise them socks up

You could tell me how much sales they got, I'm still not bothered

Even in school, I ditched Math; I was never about the numbers

Hustling through the bouncers with no ID

Till I'm on that record with No I.D

Me and my girl, we' from the Justice League; what we got mutual

I always make the woman wonder why her man super

They say intelligence creates wealth, oh, I'll be damned

Y'all know I got enough wit to make bread

The boy's been through more bad shit than a call girl

But my name will ring a bell like a visitor on your doorstep

I'm in love with a church girl that Ja Rule could never get

My footprint is the Grand Canyon, Big Foot got no shit on me

I never needed your help, it's still me against the world

Only reason no one is on my side is 'cause I'm way ahead

I'm not bad and boujee but I do this for the culture too

And my bars go on top of niggas heads like Bevel blades do

When I rhyme, they define me as divine

But I'm as humble as a cannibal lion, I swallow my pride

Snail's pace, no shortcuts, I'll find my way up

You know you gotta put the work in for it to work out

So walk with me
