[Intro]

What's good?

Uh, I just wrote this lil' verse

So, I'm 'bout to— I'm 'bout to rap it

Thanks for listening

Ight, said—


[Verse]

Feel like I'm dying, could you hold my hand?

While the world ends yelling, "Fuck the rest and all them stupid plans"

Had to calm down for a lil' swam a pool of Xans

Spin the car 'round, through the bridge into the water

Can't reverse your actions, brain splatter, MAC-10

Last art piece gon' be Pollack like Jackson

Got so many problems in this brain, need a flatbed

Dreams make movies, but I never yelled action

It could go one or two ways, how this happens

I could be at MSG, sold out, rappin'

With everybody packed in, songs got 'em clappin'

Or they could bе autopsying my crib, check the mattress

Fuck a payslip, fuck a backеnd

Usually get burnt the second you get any traction

Best kept secret in the country, no yappin'

But as for now, hard drive, terabytes of crackin'

Head crack words, put your money on me

Gon' take you courtside from the fuckin' nosebleeds

Soul was once 4'5, but it grew to 6'3

Me and the beat ground beef turnin' sounds to minced meat

Maybe one day, Perry gets a song with Meek

Maybe one day, Perry finds happiness and peace

On a Monday, rappin' 'til my breath goes deep

I'll be here all week, like Apollo Mic Night, 125th Street

Typewriting 'til these fingers turn blue, Billy Keys

My team, Billy B

'Cause we T'd when you double-crossed and counted out the league

Been dreamin' like Hakeem, MJ, and Larry B, uh

Make magic with this voice like it's showtime

Fuck status, rappin' for my passion, fuck your co-sign

Once you look deep inside your mind, find a gold mine

Just don't milk it for the cheese like a bovine

Almost rang my fucking neck open, huh, clothes line

Always been partial to the ol' Colt 45

Move like there's no time tomorrow, can't get it back

So we move forward, reluctantly accept the past

Loose rest, mind occupied with rhymes

Move in prayer that this shit could change drop of a dime

I would never force to shine, sun's come up eventually

Patience is a virtue in the bitch, perspective is the key

Blessings come with time, you gotta wait until it's yours

Head down, straight forward, steady path, stay the course

And if it don't happen by the time this vessel corpse

Just know I gave it my all and you heard it from the source
