’22 - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Started out the year confused

Couldn't figure out my shit

My account was in the red and all my texts on blue

Aired like them Jordan shoes

Niggas I was calling friends left me hangin' bad like pictures on a wall askew

Felt like my Waterloo

Cus left and right, help wasn't comin' thru

Enemies psyched, on the edge of poppin' booze

Extremely hyped to see a youngin' bout to lose

Them niggas diabolical

[Verse]

But nigga I don't fold easy

I can handle few knocks

Life threw me cold punchеs but I rolled with 'em

Shit just made mе mo' driven

Act like nitro boosters as I zoom past them losses

Never moped in em

Told myself it's growth season

Then untangled few knots, severed old ties connectin' me with faux niggas

Made sure I was cold with it

Had to burn me lotta old bridges

Inaccessible now

Try to swim across the debris, you'll drown

I'm on new level, new grounds

Big steppin', footin' heavy on the treachery and bouts of neglection from niggas I held dear in my heart

Say I'm being vengeful but I got every cause

Screw redemption, so what if they went thru that arc?

Niggas hate the taste of the medicine they serve

A fool reaction to somethin' they immensely deserve

Just being thankful I learned

From shit that I saw

Like these impostors in they true state and natural form

These monsters with they two faces masked up as one

These scoffers havin' field day

Each time that I fall flat like lines on a heart graph of some nigga gone

I went right thru that rough patch like embroidery yarns

Bitch quit applaudin' my comeback like you was a part

Think I'm mad you ain't call back when I needed for support?

Naw, I'm glad you got unmasked, got to see what you are

Uh, glad you got unmasked, got to see what you-
