[Verse 1]

Violence begets violence

Egads we kept silent

We brag we keep wildin'

We gasp but seek solace

We depressed, don’t take time to decompress

Be abreast yet still conditioned to eat the flesh

Look at health and can’t see the wealth

Be obsessed with ass cheek and breast

The facade non binary

All 0s and 1s where we confined to be

It’s all by dеsign to me, geometry

But I stand tall, gee I’m a tree

If I fall in a forеst will I make a sound?

Taken down by machinery, mockery

Deus machina, Ops watching me

Tryna triangulate my signal; Isosceles

I probably led em right to me; Hyperbole

The nerve of me…

Thinking I’m of importance overall

Protocol, No default

Know the ledge or know the wall


[Verse 2]

Never bite the hand that feeds

Or smite a man in need

When a few shillings at least

Can put that man at ease

We be too quick to judge

Like syndicated court shows

Horrible I oughta know

Speaking from experience

Sweating like I’m at a hearing

All evidence says I did it

Under fire, under siege

You never wanna feel this shit

Ridiculousness

As weird as it gets

Gotta stand ten toes

No grip on the slippers

Vision is tunnel

Money swirls round in a funnel

Once in a blue

I have at it like

The money booth

On game shows

Plains clothes in unmarked vehicles

On saints row

Never paid tolls

Just a face show and it’s okay go

Lay low but I get active

Aggressive getting to it

Otherwise I’m passive

Massive presence on records

Not a lot of ad libs

Or adjectives

Can I live?

Or is it too much I’m asking

Granted if I ain’t speaking fact

I’m laughing

Hahahahaha check out this bizarre

Nigga with his words


[Verse 3]

Go to malls to escape the house

Like I’m held captive

Erica Pratt to

Kidnapper’s failed tactics

Bail practice too well at this

Pale comparisons

Don’t give ‘em chance to tell the narrative

Failed arrogance

Excelled at assonance

Batting averages 275 that’s what practice gets

Perfection yarn spun by those

Ain’t doing nothing

Immaculate conception ain’t doing nun

On god/ en garde

Move it or lose it proving something

I ain’t proving nothing proofs in the pudding

All the work I’ve put in

20 plus summers, I’ve raised enough of ya

Now to reap the benefits of harvest

They’ll sleep regardless

Hard-pressed arduous

Y’all god fearing while I’m god blessed

Yes
