Paperback Author (feat. PremRock)

They acting spicy like Thai chilis, it's wild city

Blow wind, blow, no zip code, just vibe with me

Lesson known, yet still infamous, Thai Nitty

Eyes shifty, defining the grind and rhyme lippy

Never take no shorts, no dimes, round up from nine fifty

Eye for an eye, now we all MC Ricky D

Placebo effect, smoke pillow, a good grip

Then CBD low, watch that lip, keep that ego in check

Playing connect the dots like Italo Calvino

Plots down, beat down, James Woods in that casino lot

Broke rappers tryna build without protein or amino

How dirt broke, riding dirty, bus back from Encino

Hear no, see no, don't speak it to police though

Though I didn't hear no shots, must've had them earbuds in

Seen them flip teams quick like Pitino

And still cash checks with that cee-lo grin

A recluse with the pen, Salinger my writers den

Wrecking crew prone to expect the truth of your phlegm

Balancing the fight again

I see the proof you ain't us, well here's the proof that we ain't them

I see your ego getting bigger, victories smaller

Write it down, made to order, paperback author

Straight to TV, that prose it must be...

Time to scale back the offer

And I know something you don't, smile like Mona Lisa

Time is undefeated in every known arena

A tough read like War and Peace, complete this at your leisure

Hell yeah, you lied to the teacher

Hierarchy, get the point like wildfire archery

Selling to the buyer, a live wire, pirate like

Limewire archive corrupted partially

Mics possessing healing properties, lungs of apothecary

Jocko Pastori, it's me, so pile up, creep

Junkie posture with a proper lean

House of a piling debts and a rising gun

Seismic shakedown, the breakdown of a liar's tongue

Paperback author vs. a novelist that never got his praises sung

Go ahead and tell a lie for how you play for fun

Climb a ladder made of paper rungs

A thousand papers, give or take a few

Stories straight to pay-per-view, scraping for crumbs

You see them thousand yard gazes with the vacant hue

It's coming for you

I see your ego getting bigger, victories smaller

Write it down, made to order, paperback author

Straight to TV, that prose it must be...

Time to scale back the offer
