Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look, I wanna break it down
It's so sad but these shackles heavy man
And they getting really loud
Look
Man these shackles are really heavy
If I release em for this freedom am I really ready
All I wanted was a passive freedom, but then my demons steady haunt me
And I can't release em, fold em or even crease em
Man it's madness I feel it, boiling up is a vengeance,
Man I don't wanna be trapped here I'm living a sentence
They confused they don't get me, I'm just to here express me
It's up to you to decipher all these moves that I'm making
Can't you see that I'm gritting my teeth when these punches come in
I'm rolling with them, man you gotta take some in to grow man
Planning conquest I'm Roman, I'm protected I'm Trojan'd
Chronologically following all the seeds that I'm sowing
Don't you get that I'm sickened at listening to critics and bitches
moving crooked like stitches after a suture's been missing, get the message
They always checking they textes, ringers and notifications
I'm steady reaching and breathing gasping through my suffocation
[Hook]
Man I been through illest,
Cannot slow down when I'm stuck in my feelings
Folks trapped in my business
Just know no man can go undefeated
Man I been through illest,
Cannot slow down when I'm stuck in my feelings
Folks trapped in my business
Just know no man can go undefeated
[Verse 2]
Thicker than a grapevine, bitter taste of grape lines
Lock it up a lifetime, turn it into great wine that's the story of my life
A metaphor for all this time,
Didn't mean to clear the room but y'all wrote out my MF doom
Tired of these tragedies that come off misconstrued
RIP summers of me working on my 2.0,
When I was whole y'all cut me up and now I'm 2 points low
Then gripped the cutter and picked at pieces you didn't know
Armageddon must have hit and now it's the Thanos
I'm in awe as you snapped your fingers my will had crumbled
Y'all got me rolling a backwood but I ain't smoking weed I'm smoking rappers
Nuances soliloquys no **** I'm a rapper
They getting it fucked up the rumors are steady staggered
I'm moving lower than concrete,
my drip ain't no copy,
I move off my heart beat, **** you can't stop me
[Hook]
Man I been through illest,
Cannot slow down when I'm stuck in my feelings
Folks trapped in my business
Just know no man can go undefeated
Man I been through illest,
Cannot slow down when I'm stuck in my feelings
Folks trapped in my business
Just know no man can go undefeated
