Lyrics

Rapping like I’m not amused by other rappers rapping poorly
I’m up and at it early in the morning
Do a dab as soon as I wake up to get into my orbit
I’m high as fuck when I write every verse, hook and chorus
You look porous in your conviction, your skills are fiction
My skills are rooted in my consistence it’s an addiction
It’s like I needed a fix from a daily plug
I wouldn’t fix it for anybody or anyone, save me some
Dave Lee with the madhouse eyes
Pragmatic chaos with the background fire
We were never trash, you better remember that
Immigrant mentality, we’ve been fighting like Everlast
Call me Willy Wonka, Chief Tatanka, electric Blanka
We phantom the opera to get it popping
And sample some water to make it wetter, untethered
Make you evacuate and head towards shelter
Sometimes I feel like a tortoise
Live four lifetimes and still drive a taurus
But I know our time is soon to come, soon enough
We’re suited up and ready to do battle after a coup de tat
Sometimes I feel like a tortoise
Live four lifetimes but still finding focus
Live and breathe rap, anything and everything for this
Accapellas didn’t bless just any type of kid
He was a talent from the get go, deft flow
Ever since a motherfucking puppy in the Petco
Steal the show quietly like a thief with strep throat
Mental on Akira level, Tetsuo let’s go
Under a grey sky same color as television static
Leave wielding lead pipes, weaving through the city traffic
Rollo in his pocket, it could spit up like a little dragon
Hold up, left my wallet in El Segundo with seconds missing
Test the limit the litmus test we administer
Crash the system since it only benefits the sinister
We brash and independent getting into fights to finish ‘em
Fighting for our lives like a prisoner with a shiv in him
Shivering from the cold and I’m getting older
But I can say I’m happier now, though I’m still never sober
You can check the testimony of a sheltered ogre
I swear I’ll be a wealthy Shrek with many shmeckles when this shit is over
Sometimes I feel like a tortoise
Live four lifetimes and still drive a taurus
But I know our time is soon to come, soon enough
We’re suited up and ready to do battle after a coup de tat
Sometimes I feel like a tortoise
Live four lifetimes but still finding focus
Live and breathe rap, anything and everything for this
Accapellas didn’t bless just any type of kid
Tortoise, the fundamentals prove timeless
I’m like Zeus the thunder god who threw lightning
The underdog who proved doubters wrong
Blew through hella money, but still found myself a way to get along
Must be my proximity to karma
Good fortune stuck to my exterior like armor
The grind of an artist is getting harder its arduous
But I value my life so I will never die a martyr, what’s up
Sometimes I feel like a tortoise
Live four lifetimes and still drive a taurus
But I know our time is soon to come, soon enough
We’re suited up and ready to do battle after a coup de tat
Sometimes I feel like a tortoise
Live four lifetimes but still finding focus
Live and breathe rap, anything and everything for this
Accapellas didn’t bless just any type of kid
