[Intro: The Thought]

What up to Lv.agn for sending me all these goddamn bangers!

AGH! BLAQKNOIZ!


[Verse: The Thought]

The disaffected malcontent

With the "Malcolm in the Middle" scent

The disconnected internet

Got the talcum powder to Maleficent, made a couple cents

Set a precedent, spite the predecessors

Learn what pressure meant, writing your professors

Met a president, right to drastic measures

Yearn the measurements, fight for your displeasure

The dynamo that made it through Idaho

Indigo with ammo from Oregano and SMPL

From Zydeco to Character's, I dunno

But I feel like I lost my gusto and my dimples

The mispronunciation

The guaranteed accusations of cultural appropriation

The mis-de-education

The completed serenations, unless I watch my dictation


[Hook: The Thought]

Imitation of a great can only get you so far

(Get you far!)

We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star

(Create a star!)

Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car

(Start the car!)

You can have a Meeseeks, but he can't get you to par

(Get you to par!)

Imitation of a great can only get you so far

(Get you far!)

We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star

(Create a star!)

Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card

(Pay with card!)

In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar

(Raising the bar!)


[Verse: Smith the Poet]

'Cause limitation ain't my fate, to fault to flagrant and flawed

The narrative imperative, don't quote, your reasons are wrong

You lack a thesis, the plot, seep a seek for applause

Sift the spoken, I sparked, it's where these posers, a pause

But hold the bedrock, we underground and here's some roots

Learn to fail, dog, mistake yourself for who you knew

Curse my tales, tall, like the elephant in the room

I speak that seldom, same as Lou, just see it different, I come scoop

The made-to-barter, my pre-mandated bother

Of late, my bullshit problems, giving half to who's

Last to lose, passion proved, the past removes the rational

Ready, impractical, smitten, in love, her numb, who isn't?

Wearing a master mimic, the driver take a minute

To hate the hate forbidden, fathom no favor fit in

To those who bear the bitching! But know the fucking difference

Between the real and written, I speak in skews of gimmicks, 'cause


[Hook: The Thought]

Imitation of a great can only get you so far

(Get you far!)

We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star

(Create a star!)

Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car

(Start the car!)

You can have a Meeseeks, but he can't get you to par

(Get you to par!)

Imitation of a great can only get you so far

(Get you far!)

We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star

(Create a star!)

Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card

(Pay with card!)

In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar

(Raising the bar!)


[Verse: Marcus Lee]

I think I'm stuck in my head too much

The problem is that I said as such, repeatedly

I frequently keep my problems so secretly

Until I snap, or until I'm coming across a beat for me

To release to, I'm tryna be a sifu

But the universe be like "kid there's so much more that I could teach you"

I'm looking for unity 'cause it's new to me

Got all my eggs in being a newer me that's more true to me

I'm stuck between "I'm not a G.O.A.T. but I am soon to be"

And fighting off depression and hoping that it don't ruin me

I'm on the edge, I'm sharp as a knife that's slicing thru the beef

I'm on the edge, I feel like Mufasa, falling to defeat

I'm on the edge, close to the water, feel I'm losing me

But at the same time, I'm gaining more, so I'm game for war

My people like, "what are you waiting for? Take it serious"

But truthfully, Lee is unsure of just how sure he is

Concurrently, I feel I'm in rare form, so, therefore

My enemies, I'm running through their force in bear form

Say a prayer for 'em, 'cause I don't care for 'em

And they don't care for me, cue the tears formin'
