[Intro]

Yeah

Yeah, yeah


[Verse 1]

Let my synths do the talking and just sit back

Yeah, I don’t talk a lot

People love to label

I’m a poet spitting monologue

Genres? Yeah I’ve got them all

I catch them like it’s Pokemon, (aye, aye)

Wait I’m getting nauseous, yeah I called it, this beat is Adderall

Drowning in that ocelot

I’m playing, not an awful lot

I get the fame, I hear my name, like, only when I’m dozing off

And I’m ‘bout to blast like a shotgun, had to saw it off

Old heads, had to chop them off

P.Y.? He got so evolved


[Chorus]

Listen, got my vision, I’ll be livid if I miss it, ho

P.Y., you creative, will you make it? Will we ever know?

My LTD got 1, 2, 3, 4 artists and we making dough

Artists and we making dough

Where’s the ceiling? I don’t know


[Verse 2]

My new deal green like AOC wrote it

I’m in your top ten, man you don’t even know it (ok, hold up)

L-E-A-D P-Y, see I’m off like a jet, same lane like a Boeing

Treat me the same way that they did COVID

Mandate lockdown when I’m in motion

Lockdown when I’m down deep in emotion

Make beats, no sleep, there go my slogan

Mans had to get it, he had to go in man

He took out the trash, no relapse, got no limit

I looked at my fathers and followed their mimic

I’m winning just spitting off the sampled snippet

Oh who is he kidding?

Writes raps in the kitchen

Think he’ll just blow up like the Ramen, like instant

Looked at my fathers and followed their mimic

I’m winning just spitting off the sampled snippet I’m-


[Verse 3]

Paving my own roads? I be switching into lanes, aye

Spreading all my talent like a knife with marmalade, wait

Y’all be playing games, go decay in an arcade, aye

Beat so dirty, 808s darker than my own shade, aye (hold up, aye, yuh)

Oh, I’m handsome

Overdosed ego, breaking bad like Cranston

Murdered the beat, oh I see it turned into a phantom

The way I make this green think I’ma need a lantern

Making green like Lantern, yuh

I pull up and amaze

When I spit I let it rain

Yeah, I go against the grain

Use talents to entertain

Use talents when I'm on stage

Boy be sicker than a plague

Way I spit this heat, they call me Zuko when I flame (let’s go)


[Chorus]

Listen, got my vision, I’ll be livid if I miss it, hoe

P.Y., you creative, will you make it? Will we ever know? (oh my god)

My LTD got 1, 2, 3, 4 artists and we making dough

Artists and we making dough

Where’s the ceiling? I don’t know


[Verse 4]

Now they wanna call a truce

Label heads introduce

S&P LTD, label mates on the move

The gang tighter than a noose

We got the sauce, got the juice

Yeah they all in pursuit

Got them up from they snooze

Now that I'm on, they wanna sign me up, psych you thought

You wanna play chess with me? It's on

Way smarter than that, I'm not your pawn

Smarter than that, I'm not a blonde

Flow so clean, Bed Bath Beyond

Still blowing up, atomic bomb

Everything off the top, salon, flow Freon

When you step up tread lightly ‘cause I'll run a fade on sight

Swear these cats a different font ‘cause I swear they not my type

And the only gang I mess with is myself and then my tribe

Innovate and elevate? Oh yeah I think I might (run it)


[Chorus]

Listen, got my vision, I’ll be livid if I miss it, ho

P.Y., you creative, will you make it? Will we ever know?

My LTD got 1, 2, 3, 4 artists and we making dough

Artists and we making dough

Where’s the ceiling? I don’t know

Listen, got my vision, I’ll be livid if I miss it, ho

P.Y., you creative, will you make it? Will we ever know?

My LTD got 1, 2, 3, 4 artists and we making dough

Artists and we making dough

Where’s the ceiling? I don’t know
