Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We know, yes, we know, I set my ego on fantastic
But still, you're fucking with my plastic
Dedicated, medicated, they bend and break me, overrate me
I take a small piece, make it breathe
It takes a second to wreck it, sucker **** won't believe
They stress me, test me, vex me
So what? You got a gun? That shit don't impress me
Yes, yes, you always walks with the crew
You all better fuck up 'cause you're not alone
You don't think I'm a brother? Then check my chromosome
Brand new, you're retro
I already passed you on a one-two
I've been cued to this already
Bullet to the head
Bullet to the head, what you know if I was joking?
What the fuck you were doing?
You gonna represent my intention?
You need more than a mic and a mention
Through the scars, you see bars
Through the bars, you see scars, results of my rage
[Verse 2]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
[Verse 3]
Scared to skip and step, in case you trip and fall
Thunder picks you up, slaps you on the wall
That's maniacal, I cuff to my manacle
Mechanical, I'm super natty
Love is lot talk, I walk on by
Exotic spices
If your mouth can't tame the meaning
Be careful of the faces you're seeing
And dread of the past and fear of the future
That's maniacal, I cuff through my manacle
Mechanical, I'm super natty
[Verse 4]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
[Verse 5]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
[Verse 6]
Bullet to the head, what you know if I was joking?
What the fuck you were doing?
You'll never represent my intention
You need more than a mic and a mention
Through the scars, you see bars
Through the bars, you see scars, results of my rage
[Verse 7]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
[Verse 8]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
[Verse 9]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
[Verse 10]
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
Brand new, you're retro
