Rooftop Freestyle - Intellectual

[Intro: Steven Malcolm]

Sheesh, ayy

Sheesh, ooh

[Verse 1: Steven Malcolm]

I had to turn it down, man, the beat too loud

Bet when Mama see me, now she proud

Even Steven, he done beat them odds

Far from easy, but I figured it out

Seen a lane, and I paved me a route

Now they pay me just to see me come out

Quarantine over, it's far from a drought

Anthem ringin', bring 'em out, bring 'em out (Rage on the stage)

Black shades on, but my eyes on the prize, yeah (Hey)

Midwest boy, really came up from nothin'

My daddy an immigrant, no education

Met Mama, then had me begin whippin' work

Middle-class, didn't need it, but money give birth

To the ways of the wicked, I've seen the regret

A life unresolved because one dumb decision

All of my dawgs really aim for the ceilin'

Live under roof and we off in the buildin'

And we give 'em the truth so they really could feel it

(Yee!) PTSD got me trippin'

I looked at my life and it became a mission

So you cannot blame me for livin' my—

Yeah, dream when I'm awake, been that way since I was fifteen

I knew I was different, knew I would be one of the realest that did it

Knew it would be game time, and by a landslide

Ain't no L's on this side

Only lessons that turn blessings

Ain't no rookies, only veterans that pack weapons like (Skrrt)

[Chorus: Steven Malcolm]

Mad Max, I'm too shottah, yeah

Kickin' that thing like Bruce Lee, ayy

Runnin' that game like two-three

I might just relapse like Pookie, yeah

So unruly, ask my folks, not talkin' Hoover

All we been through, life like movie

I can't blame them if they shoot me (Bang)

[Post-Chorus: Steven Malcolm]

Blame them if they shoot me (Bang)

I can't blame them if they shoot me, yee!

Skrrt, go, blame them if they shoot me (Bang)

I can't blame them if they shoot me

[Verse 2: Derek Minor]

Yeah, yeah

Me and Steven goin' stupid, I'm buildin' this

Room is hot, I do this blueprint

My flow really ruthless, my Corvette is roofless

You do a lot of barkin', but no bite, you're toothless

I'm not the one you should stomp with

You might run out of your budget

My people eatin', not gettin' so pudgy

I can't complain 'bout the blessings, it's lovely

I ain't your homie and I ain't your buddy

But when you realize I'm really different

Ain't no competition, I've been independent for a minute

I done turned a daydream into a business

If you a hater, this'll really hurt your feelings

I am not one to clout chase

So they overlookin', they underage

So I stack chips and I spread cheese

I'ma need my nachos andale (Pronto)
