[Verse 1: Swave Sevah]

Yo, yo, check this. I’m not impressed with the restless

That use measures that’s desperate to achieve excellence

Sell your soul for a Lexus and a necklace, flossing

You a rider? Fuck with me and be a Headless Horseman

Sleeping under Hollow ground in a redwood coffin

Never avenged—your next of kin accepting losses

For you to think you got a chance, you must have lost your mind

I should get a tattoo of a caution sign (Take that)

To warn niggas of the repercussion. I don’t talk

Fuck a prediscussion. You’ll get slaughtered by the preproduction

Not even a mastered version got you driving

Faster, swerving, pried from a crashed excursion (Get him out)

But tests say you died before the wreck

They’re in a search for your cause of death. They eject

My cassette out of your deck. Enough said

Severe trauma slip into your head. Without misery

He died instantly—just lost his soul

That’s why he lost control and drove off the road

For those who want to know what I would do to an enemy

If you never witnessed it, it’s just Shaq playing Mini-Me

Come on, dog. You’re no match for me and Breez

Lot of cats out there don’t deserve to be emcees

Put the mic down, money. I’m about to stomp ya

Get on the mat, soon I’ll need a new sparring partner

[Interlude 1 (Overlapped with Hook): Breez Evahflowin’]

Yeah. Outpost. Yeah. Peace to Static. Yo, yo


[Verse 2: Breez Evahflowin’]

In rhymes I trust. In dimes I’ll lust

I’ll move units like sperm when it’s time to bust

Y’all fell out your prime—now it’s time for us

I got a space in my palm that’s designed for bucks

Every line I touch make Breez, the soul ill

Like the rhyme’s a truck and emcees is roadkill

This be the whole meal. It’s gravy, beef

That got crab niggas mad. Static gave me a beat

The craziest feats, y’all fuck it up like boning Mya

On a carpet flying high above Arabian streets

This nigga sick like uranium leaks (Dig deep)

Meditate at the top Mediterranean peaks

Listen, freaks. I ain’t near heard your name in the streets (Never)

You getting battered. Static put the flame on the beat

Like automatics, I’ll hack into your frame and physique

Star status: get head while you claiming defeat

Foot in your ass, spank on it, good it in cash

Niggas stay talking trash ‘til they put in the cask

Hitting hard like some yards when it’s put on the hash

Y’all get bent out of shape like the hood on the crash

Broken apart, sharp metal poking your heart

Double the stakes—another tape fall from the car

Puzzling jakes (What the hell is this?). I love the way it’s broken apart

Mama tried but they denied her exposing the corpse (Oh, my baby!)
