[Part I]

[Verse: Quadeca]

I can see the youth through a casket

The truth and the proof is attractive, it's used as a magnet (Yeah)

I can see these fools lookin' past in

My view of which you hasn't cracked yet, it's new as a package

But none of these dudes haven't packed yet

And you're usually cool in the classes, but you have just acted

What you thought was true you have mastered

'Cause dudes in your crew have reacted

In ways that you're viewed as invalid, so you changed up

Not overnight like the dew in the grass to the blue in the sky

But a blue, but it bruises from losin' your balance

The way that you stood wasn't cool to the masses

Lessons you learned weren't ones that the school had imagined

Crazy what we're willin' to lose for a life

And what we do when we're snackin' on food for the average

Yeah, yeah, I'ma take it back to the roots

On the mic, I'm a passionate dude (Uh!)

'Cause I'm havin' to prove to everybody in past that I knew

That I'm poppin' 'cause the stats and the views

And they say I never changed a lot

Yeah, but the truth is, I'm a changed man

Started off so dim, and now I'm so damn bright

You gotta look at your screen with Ray-Bans

[Part II]

[Verse 1: Quadeca]

Damn, yeah, this really got me reminiscin'

Back when all this shit was an idea, I was gettin' with it

Messin' with it, man, I dreamed of doing all of this present business

Now that I'm gettin' riches, I ain't covered any distance

When I drop it, they gon' understand the better vision

Really think I said the difference here, but they never listen

Ran through my mind so much, now it's Luce and Limpin'

See my growth leanin', like what Future sippin'

New generation wanna blame it on the stupid system

But who gives a fuck when you ain't doin' shit but choosin' victims?

Feastin' on these rappers

When I'm done, they'll do the dishes (Yeah)

Is this a message

To the people or myself?

I feel like I am near the ceilin'

They gon' leave me on the shelf, yeah

Yeah

[Verse 2: K.A.A.N.]

Somedays I feel alone, so alone

Sometimes I get high, too high

Take a look inside my mind, my mind

Why is love so hard to find? I can't find it

All alone in this, momentarily

Terrified that I might just fall

Got crucified, but see, it's all my fault

My patience lost and my soul weary

I pray to God, but He don't hear me

I plead for help, but no answers given

I do relate to these hopeless children

No faith inside them, no, oh, Lord

Can't tell them nothing, though, they gone

My heart, it bleeds for y'all, you know

I feel your pain, I feel your hatred

Feel the track that's filled with love that feels as a friend, it pays

Take your time, but don't move too slow

No room for growth in this world, darlin'

No amount of money can replace respect

And all the bullshit that we accept

I'm very vexed and I'm blessed indeed

So I do proceed to give 'em what they need

Then tell them, "Ba-Ba-Ba-Back the fuck up off me"

This life is mine, well, that's one that's costly

My peace of mind is what the game has cost me

My heart done turned cold, so cold

I'm young, but feelin' old, so old

I wonder how it ends, I don't know

My thoughts that fade into the unknown

It's gettin' darker when life gets harder

I won't get caught up with all the madness

I will stay focused to avoid distractions

[Outro: K.A.A.N.]
