[VERSE]

Reminiscing on times when i had homies hitting my line

So for now i'm spitting these rhymes in pursuit of some peace of mind

There's a beast inside that awakens when i put thoughts on the page

It makes for an awesome escape when i'm feeling lost in a daze

I don't need to hop on no wave, i be riding my own

Feeling so fly in my zone just writing and vibing alone

That's how i be fighting my woes, i mow every demon in sight

Here we don't sleep on the grind, chasing a dream tryna shine

I break up some weed and i fly, take it one beat at a time

I be that loner who's on a roll cooking heat through the night

Ambition's a hell of a drug, i'm currently getting my fix

Verbally ripping the shit, serving up hit after hit

Ain't perfect but no i don't trip, i just try to live my best life

Indica up in the blunt, you know i keep my head high

Got the pen gliding across the paper as i let loose

No place i'd rather be than in my bedroom making fresh tunes

Either that or on the stage or at the venue

Giving 110% cause that just be the best move

Spewing raps till they're like "who is that?" nudging the next dude

Been on another level, to the summit i'll ascend to with ease

And with persistence, i'll keep exhibiting ambition

Been on a mission and i ain't drifting from it

You're finna plummet cause you're wack and all you spit is rubbish

While i'm finna blow, my skills are dope, see how the kid's erupting

I bring the ruckus on the beat until i did it justice

Forget disruptions, i'm hunkered down making sick productions

Up late we getting dumb lit until the sun is up

Smoking and sipping to numb the feelings i've been running from

I'm one of one, can't be replicated nor separated from the craft

I'm just too dedicated to decimating my foes

And venting rage on the notepad

When i bust a flow, i don't hesitate and don't hold back

I just go mad, and keep unloading my wrath

If you're on the receiving end you might get broken in half

I'm known to attack on the mic, i put my soul in the track

Going gold and then plat, i'm putting 850 on the map, yeah

So come get tapped in with the captain of the ship

And don't be capping, know you hear the fucking passion when i spit

I'm stacking up the wins, some would say i'm savage with the hits

See when i spaz it leads to havoc and cadavers in a ditch

It's been the protocol

Obstacles get overcame, been going strong

For seven years, i'm driven, never listen when i'm told to stop

I drop the heat and move along, i'm truly on a winning streak

Misery's evaded every time i pen a wicked scheme

So we stay in motion, escaping, creating dopeness

My faith, it just can't be broken, some say i'm untamed, ferocious

No way i could waste a moment worried bout what haters say

I'm building up a kingdom, putting work in on the day to day

Just tryna satiate this hunger on my way up out the gutter

Keep my head above the water, not a thing could pull me under

And slumber ain't in the plans till i'm content with where i stand

Just had to slaughter a beat to help me remember i'm the man, yeah
