[Verse]

Not exactly a social activist

I'm A.I. when comes to your phony practices

Don't greet me with contempt

My hands dirty

Reluctantly give 'em five like Will in Pursuit of Happyness

Once again it's on

My career's been long, that's due to craftiness

Do your math on this

A thin line between haters and who you laughing with

That's too accurate, I'm too passionate

A different nigga

I'm in a different space had to get to them hidden figures

I leave with little trace had to get to the bigger picture

And make the kind of music my people can raise a fist to

This ain't a scripture, it's not a Bible quote

They got the wrong ideas, just got the right approach

The last couple years trying to ignite the coast

To all Hip-Hop enthusiasts not including this

It's pure foolishness

And yet despite your post

I leave with one arm raised, I got the shooter's wrist

Y'all niggas knew the risk

Some niggas can't play right, here go the movie script

Some niggas can't stay tight, that's how you lose your grip

Here go the proof he's sick

I transcend religion, don't let your kufi slip, nigga

I think y'all remember this picture

Hear them talking they shit but I can't defend all the whispers

I brush 'em off in all my splendid and vigor

'Cause niggas who made soft just never tend to deliver

Every line is cryptic, you can't risk it

Rewind back if you missed it

Like hieroglyphics, it's too brief to see it

My mind is like a pyramid buried deep in Egypt

Leave every street depleted, you petty thieves could see it

Yeah, won't apologize for lyrics

Take back our music, monopolize and share it

Yeah, you ain't gotta try and hear it

They streamed of all your dreams and monetized your spirit, damn
