Lyrics
It's the calm before the storm
Dark before the dawn
Armed with foreign swords
Talk to dormant Gods
You're gone before tomorrow
Y'all are more than frauds
That I've been forced to call authentic
It's not y'all's business
Of who I choose to call my brethren
Been on top, not falling off until the fall off finished
So clean, I mop the floor with them
I guess I caught y'all slipping
I'm argumentative
Large percentages of the bars I'm penning
Are far from brilliant, but y'all are feeling it
Hard to figure it out
How this idiot bout to educate them
Expectations higher than I was from like 11th grade
To sophomore year of college
Longer if I'm honest
Tired of being modest
Y'all could be the artist, I'll just be a critic
I'll just be a cynic, I'll just be dismissive
Nah, he isn't gifted
All his shit has gotta be written
He probably doesn't give a shit about the culture
Or comprehend the artistry in it
Probably only listens to Marshall and NF
And if y'all could see inside my head
And understand the intention
Your whole perspective would flip
Like getting a pass interception in Madden 11
And damn, if you happen to catch on"Pick six" of your top players
And I'll tackle them dead on
I rap like I'm dead on a record
But this the shit that I live for
Sweat and tears every year
Yet I wish I could give more
Getting better, I spit more
Clever shit that I used to
Every written I grew through
Never quitting, I'm too smooth
A loose screw who's sick of sitting in silence
I'm blind but visualizing a mind as witty as mine is
I'm a war vet, was more than out of gas before I left
I can't afford to check until I'm bout to cash some foreign checks
I waited, but lately
Patience shorter than arms of a Tyrannosaurus Rex
Every word a sword, I point it toward your neck
I'm sort of perplexed, Did you forget?
Or is it this difficult for you to get?
That I was born before the world was ever warned I could spit
And if it was it would've blocked it
The money that's in your pocket
Is nothing but just an object
You motherfuckers obnoxious
So shut it or stuff a sock in it
It's impossible to stop what I got in my head
My mind is kind of perplexing
Kanye when off of his meds
Not gonna write shit again
Off of the top, what's a pen?
I've been rhyming dirty, but surely the style is on 10
In Spider/spite of verses that verse me I'm Miles beyond them
It's wild I'm not dead, itt's wilder I'm alive
Kept the lye on my skin to let Tyler Durden survive
But I will murder a rhyme
One word at a time - Shady
The verses I write, lames gonna
Burglarize daily
It's worth it if I wait
For the person who might save me
A word to the wise, maybe
A word could be life changing
I'm certain I died
This gotta be a new me
Truly
Joe be smoking the loose leaf
She gon' kick it like Bruce Lee
She hit a cart or two (Carter two) and get Wheezy, that's word to Tunechi
Is it worth it to lose sleep, If I murder a few beats?
It's too easy to prove to you all
I could do this while solving a Rubik's Cube
Awwwwwww where's the logic in that?
I'm Bobby after retiring
I'm just trying to carve a path worth admiring
It's bastard Tyler - mixed in with a bit of flower boy
Gang chuckling, like you ain't fucking with our boy
She telling me she bout to shower, join
After she done with her hair
Fuck it that's fair
I'll write a verse in the meantime
I'm working I keep grinding
He cooking the beats, rhymes
Quit lyin, you pussies are feline
I'm phenomenal
Monumental to the highest degree
Sober still, you never set your sights higher than me
