Lyrics

I intend to be great, but is anyone making a trip and
attending the wake if I die? I need a friend to relate not a
fan to be fake. To take wind out of my sails and steal my
thunder. Holding ‘em down while they held me under.
Some sell, some buy, some barter stolen hearts and
souls charred in cole, then barred to be bought and sold.
When the well runs dry dark and cold. They won’t tell us
why. They’ll just try to sell some lie con-artists told.
Calculative how to move with very protective
sense of where I invest care and attention. There is
no question, salary is barely incentive for spiting
valuable gifts shared in this nightmarish reality lived.
Only my closest homies remotely know me.
those who opposed me can go stroke their own supposed
dopest local emcee trophy they hold so closely.
Then proceed to the nose bleeds. No seats.
No one’s true to their word. They’ll stab you in the back.
I don’t move with the herd or travel in a pack.
A man without a face is a man with a thousand ways to
walk amongst you. Off-putting, but never out of place.
Losing peace of mind? Use a piece of mine. This outlook is
bigger than what’ll sound good at the recent time. Contrary
to the redundancy, these idiots are aren’t savants. Bunch of
oxymorons who prolly call paradoxes ironic.
I move in silence no matter how loudly you speak. Somehow
the cowards who beat me while I was down and weak are nowhere
to be found now that I’m back around to my feet, standing proud.
Surrounded by sheep you couldn’t count on for sleep.
Rules don’t need apply. Disguised wolves posing in sheep’s wool
clothing pulled over the eyes of those who uphold the lies.
Ain’t your fault. It’s the fools that trained your thought. So go
ahead and take this title brain wave with a grain of salt.
I’m here to grind the smear campaigns to mere sand grains
until brand name is all you racketeers can change. If I get
spoiled rich, I’m dissin’ all you disloyal royal bitches
so pussy, you smell like coil fish broiled crisp in crisco oil.
Type of pussy to brag about kitty you’re getting, yet
skittishly scamper off from litter you scatter all over the city.
It’s a pity tryna make it in this pit full of lying snakes who
hide and wait to justify hateful nature violate you.
Be warned of the wild hounds. They’ll duck around a corner of the
house and pounce when you’re down on luck. Hornets
swarm once talent is sprouting up from underground. Huh.
I wonder how none of them did amount to much.
I am merely the ill conceived afterlife of a wildebeest
sacrificed in a killing spree, hacked and sliced to a million pieces.
Back with twice the abilities. I still believe. The jagged knife that was
drilled in me’s half the size of my will to breath. Feel at ease.
Even the last to leave are only back to feast on the rations
once their capture detaches the latch and leash. The alpha-
beast has the least reason to flash his teeth. I’ve painted a
masterpiece with the bloodstains of my past deceased.
No one’s true to their word. They’ll stab you in the back.
I don’t move with the herd or travel in a pack.
A man without a face is a man with a thousand ways to
walk amongst you. Off-putting, but never out of place.
