[Intro]

Yeah, it’s like full blast in my headphones right now, but fuck it

Yo


[Verse 1]

Started at 2 but I’m up to a 10

But i’m breaking the scale cause the number ascend

With the levels I’m getting on shits so immense

9-5 is what they recommend

I try not to listen cause then it would get to my head

And then I would go second guess

And that cannot happen so here I am raising the bar

Got some hate in my heart and a pen, so I’m saying this

I don’t like all the shit that I’m seeing

I’m hearing your shit and I listen for meaning

And I don’t hear nothing just all of this rambling

Take your career and I get to dismantling

Cancel your plans, and bring out the white flags

Fuck with me and I promise you’ll die fast

You just do it for clout you can’t hide that

And I bet sometime you’ll lie back

Thinking I’m making myself look dumb

Popping xans, and pills until i am numb

So put another one at the tip of your tongue

And see how long it takes before you’re done

All these rappers I’m seeing are not special

Thinking one hit wonders are on god level

These people are brainwashed, if I came off

As pissed it’s cause I can’t stay calm

When I see all this shit

Making idiots rich

When will we ditch

This wave where creativity sits

Down in the gutter

I hope it recovers

Cause there is no passion when I hear em spit

And if that’s how it is

Then I’m boutta flip

I’m losing my god damn mind


[Verse 2]

I’m saying it’s stupid

The bullshit is popping the real is secluded

There’s so many people who sound like Skies

And Dex but nobody’s sounding like Lucas

This ain’t even music, I’m not hearing words

Just hearing some idiots off of the percs

When will you learn that it’s time to stop

Take one too many you’ll OD and drop

It’s happened before it’ll happen again

It’s happened to Peep, it happened to Prince

We’re doing these drugs right in front of the kids

And sooner or later they’ll pick up a cig, pick up a xan, pick up some coke

And next thing you know, they’ve gone down the road

Of no return, the road of addiction

The world is all twisted

I never will listen

To the bitching, I’m tryna glisten

Just want the riches from doing shows and spitting these writtens

It’s gonna take time, but I’m being patient

Grateful for ones who are down for the ride, I’m just doing me fuck who hates it
