Lekki Paradise (feat. BarelyAnyHook)

I'm out in Lekki paradise

Shawty wondering why I sent this text tonight

It's cause my demons tend to keep me paralyzed

I'm frantic with my movement

Don't know what next I'll have to sacrifice

Changing up careers

The only time I thought I'd flip degrees was

When I was doing centigrades to fahrenheit

My loss for life

Fuck it, already lost it right?

Funny what gave me back my light was when I almost lost my life

Took forever to realign but I'm promising I'll be back tonight

And I'm back tonight

I stand rightfully

I stand here in all glory

Unrivalled

I solemnly swear my left on the Bible

They won't kill me, not on streets, records or cyphers

I'm not one to be compared to one of these hype men

The difference between us is in between the lines like a hyphen

I'm rapper, y'all like rappers who don't like rapping

Play that mask off, we taking off on all y'all **** disguising

Said you paid your dues, you didn't even make it to the deposit

Every artist knows to always trust the process

That's why I'm always moving

Way too cautious

Too methodic

I'm not famous

I'm acknowledged

Overzealous storyteller

Even when I drop a free verse, it still turns out anecdotic

With this vision, I'ma take the game to places never thought of

Can't be called off

No God

Y'all be sinners

No God

Born sinner

Young God

And I put that on God

I'm in Lekki phase one

Just like Benson

But I came here with your broad

Whole lotta red, lotta mob

And I'm fucking the game up, yeah I'm

Up in this bitch till that hoe throb

In this bitch till that hoe throb

And you know we gonna go far

I'm the uncanny and unexpected

Just like when it rains and when it pours in December

**** be looking out for me cause they didn't want me to win

Man that's a moral dilemma

But I borrowed a pen to get rid of

Aggression, the shit could get pent up

Cause I had to re-center

Could've chosen any venture but hip-hop was such an adventure

This is the part where the grim meets colder reaper

Rap era's open season and framed like the Mona Lisa

The soul of my city, a part of me that I keep a piece of

Two fingers in the sky for the 02, I keep a piece up

True enough

Person whenever I do shit gon' say that you ain't do enough

Like you ain't even know my story, man I been through enough

Either I'm God level or I ain't good enough

Either way, whether it's true or not we still gonna be suiting up

Yeah

Still gonna be suiting up

That part's not even in question

Salt bae season enhanced, my fans stay sprinkled and repping

Humble, I was at the class as a student in front of some legends

Competition studied all my shit, I'm still teaching some lessons

I forgot to rate myself at some point in all of this

**** were on hawk shit, going hard without balling fists

Shawty said she got too much bullshit from Tauruses

All I see is signs telling me I should call it in

Way too many lanes for you to take my name literally

These lines come written for me

The rhymes come riveting free

Cyclops vision above my goggles invisibly

Blind trust, gillyweed got me breathing efficiently

Beneath the giddy waves

Token, taking in the cityscapes

Supa Yo go clown horns

Feel like I'm a kid again

Can't even be out at dark cause they been going crayola man

Colored trucks that pick you out the lot like you littering

Double back beneath the giddy waves

Taking in the pretty face

Shawty look like Simi Dre then you see the waist

Deepest conversation and we just lay where the pieces lay

All this talent in you, you taking too long to seize the day

Running out of time is all perception

Still I'm on the court, the clock at four seconds

Picked the lock and now it's all basket

I verse and I verse, I'm all practice

The arena got a long raptor

What a page turner

Cliffhangers after all chapters

The gall of these **** got me puking out the gall bladder

All my shit slaps like bad manners

A lemon vinaigrette over raw salad

Ask what happened to hip-hop, I tell them the jaw happened

I can't close my eyes for two seconds

The chaos erupts like volcanic water on my face

Heat of the moment leave me with fog glasses when it rains

She console me with more splashes mixed with lemonades

Grown fashion like my Atafo had me a denim made

I'll wait

Shit

Either way I'm still gonna be suited up

Right next to the supernova, true enough

Two suns in the sky like we found your Hyundai and we blew it up

What?
