Ye ye ye

Some old shit

Wrote it when I was seventeen

Lemme hit you wit it

[Verse 1]

Bear witness to the greatest who never made it

Still looking for redemption, know I've been frustrated

Tryna find repentance the universe delayed it

It tryna give me a lesson, it was complicated

But it was calculated, I was consummated

Was inundated to strays invading my domain

Tryna restrain me, don't care 'bout where my brain be

It detonated the fire hurricane fueled by propane

Good luck tryna refrain, see I've dealt with this daily

Hearing y'all screech, just demoters with prestige

Promoters never reach, my roots were impeached

I feel besieged, I'm stalling, still plotting, never fall in

Dead or in prison yeah they thought we'd be another victim

Without a pot to piss in, yet we powerful beyond means

I'm built for this I feel the blood flowing through every vein

I form my fist, persist and resist all the pain don't let it be in vain

Need a swift shift, not to drift thru the mist ignite the flame

Of frame I consist, proclaim everything and reclaim what I missed

[Hook]

Wished for a different shade

Looking through canals and alleyways

Almost delayed on that crusade

The consequence display, they ricochet

Strayed, but stayed and never corrade

Just to say

Mislaid in midst our palisade, had to barricade

I'm back on the game

[Verse 2]

The phones are ringing

The floor is brimming

Everybody sitting with a caller

Just giving service to the customer

You can hear the clicking, we may need some drinking

I may be sinning, young hustlers just a baby brawler

Toddlers getting slaughtered, tryna use u as cannon fodder

Rummaging thru leftovers for a last cent but can't quite grasp it

Shit I just forgot what I was typing, what's happening to ur screen?

And that's happened since? Right, right last time u saw MSNBC

I gotta check my AHT don't need no CST to CB, cut the scene

Still can't sleep, always hitting the green, survivors guilt

Tryna get a dollar outta this, but white collars outta reach

It's unfulfilling cause our upbringing wasn't fitting

For a beginning, everybody sinking, so he gon' die trying

Need to be calmer, color it over, my dreams need a new limning

Momma crying, the tide is rising, as the vivid grass I'm springing

[Hook]

Had to put it out the way

Looking through canals and alleyways

For long it weighed, I swayed

The consequence display, they ricochet

Tried to escape but still the bullets came

Just to say

Mislaid in midst our palisade, had to barricade

I'm back on the game

[Verse 3]

While dreams are crumbling down

I'll keep fighting my way out

Remind times we was stumbling on the ground, full of doubt

Need to drown the sound, but was in the middle of the drought

Unwind and rewind, dropped behind wasn't the right time

If u ask was a blind find my unconscious mind needed me alive

Roll the windows cause outside is too cold

Let the breeze get inside of his home

U can feel the chill in his bones

Every time the wind blows, bullet holes

Guess I was too tired of being a sloth needed to Ante up

Hold up, don't need no backup, just a checkup, place my own

Phase my zone, couldn't let it go on for too long

Forgot about the sun while I stood beneath the rain drops

I used to think, the sky seemed hard to reach

Lost, I was gone, she gave me the dial tone

It seemed life wanted some time, still high with no sleep

Still hearing those rings, the engineer will be there next week prosperity is bleak

The opposition is weak, hope I needed to seek

[Hook]

Wished for a different stage

For this moment I awaited

Instead I got what was neglected

Never expected to be the same

The only constant is change

I only needed to flip the page

Hand me a pen, I'm back at it again

I said

I'm back on the game

[Outro]

Thanks for calling [gibberish] and have a nice day

Without a response he hangs up that's the last one moon shines outside its already night

Last shot, me taking my headphones off

Backpack on, walking alone, headed home

Know my direction and aspirations on me

Got inspiration, no stagnation, the rest is on me

To be continued fade to black slowly
