Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ay, came through with a pep in my step and I reckon y'all **** aged
My eyes are flaming red, I done resurrected with rage
It's pressure 'pon yo neck, the bird is out it's cage
God made a way, look at burdens that I escaped
I'm center stage, I raised the stakes, they got the time now
You know how the saying goes, when they come 'round
What goes up must come down
And we ain't going with them
[Chorus]
Pick up your shoes, pick up the slack now
Spent most my days thinking if I would ever live outside the background
Now I pull strings, they out to get me, another day, another man down
I picked up my shoes, I'm pick of the litter
I'm pushing the limit, I picked up the slack now
[Verse 2]
The glitters ain't gold, look around where we roam through
In the land of the broken, it's a lot we was prone to
Quickest sand was engulfing, but intact was my soul
Been dispatched, I'm evolving, ****, searching for solitude
While most **** fold, I'm calm and composed
Stop the politicking with ****, know they voters is frauds
I'm often hit with epiphanies, I can't be product of system
I pray to God know he listen, won't seal my fate with some kisses, ****, nah
'Cause we ain't got time to keep off our toes
The type of vigor make you consider throwing the towel
I'm in the mood to make y'all remember, go on a prowl
Sharpen my sword, declaring a war on foes and cowards
Yeah so pass me the torch, thrones and crowns
This the voice of the future, deny it, rooster sounds
The Bronze Age forever, this a God given level
On a high like crescendo what my mind-state resemble, ****, ah
[Chorus]
Pick up your shoes, pick up the slack now
Spent most my days thinking if I would ever live outside the background
Now I pull strings, they out to get me, another day another man down
I picked up my shoes, I'm pick of the litter
I'm pushing the limit, I picked up the slack now
