Lyrics

[Intro]
Can't see you no more
When life flies by
Ageism
Beef knocks on the door
Drums, what the fuck is wrong now?
[Verse 1]
I been their age, they ain't never been mine
People don't dance no more, they AI
Watching, nodding, starin' at the dance floor
So what y'all think these drums are for?
Left, right, body ya stereo
At least skate that ass, got your cardio
This sweat ain't played on your radio
What's that, Youtube?
Means a video
Samples cleared, so have no fear
Songs that mean something, or else they outta here
Talking loud, sayin' nothing, you know the steez
C-Doc is Brian Eno, next beat, please
Got to get it good, y'all, come on
[Chorus]
Ageism, stuck in the bitterverse
Get up and pretend that shit don't hurt
Pharma farming out to one big curse
What the? I, I wanna get reimbursed
[Chorus]
Ageism, stuck in the bitterverse
Get up and pretend that shit don't hurt
Pharma farming out to one big curse
What the f–? I wanna get reimbursed
[Bridge]
Aw, yeah
Hey
Get down
[Verse 2]
Rhyme gymnastics, nasty, I'm six four
Not in height, it's the age, and stage I fight
Father Time ain't never lost
Voice a earthquake
Don't forget Mother Nature still a boss
See Black Planet, they fear
Y'all lucky if y'all even get here
Black don't crack, but it can die
Rhymes that got nothing can't answer questions why
If you gonna get down without thinking
Old age villains, smoking, drinking
Park the Lincoln, I'm telling my ageism
Shit is worse than racism, call your mama
[Bridge]
Yo, Chuck, they don't even understand
[Chorus]
Ageism, stuck in the bitterverse
Get up and pretend that shit don't hurt
Pharma farming out to one big curse
What the? I, I wanna get reimbursed
[Chorus]
Ageism, stuck in the bitterverse
Get up and pretend that shit don't hurt
Pharma farming out to one big curse
What the f–? I wanna get reimbursed
Yeah
[Verse 3]
This the curmudgeon clap
Call it Armageddon rap, now believing heathens, swore real money
Was the church of crack
Forty years later, Wild Child try to style that
TV shows and movies, damn, I'ma call it wack
White execs getting checks, try to bring it back
Green light in these dark ass times
That's why I'm spitting these old ass rhymes
Mongrel still selling as a glory time
Watchin' Black moguls catchin' jail time
Impeach the government before he even startin' it
Followin' bots like a piece of Doublemint
Dissed your sister like they dissed your mama
Forty-seven the President, but I voted for Kamala
[Bridge]
These are the times that have gone
Far behind
These are the ones, you
See life when it's done
The bitterverse
Come on
[Verse 4]
I'm sixty-five, partially blind in one eye
Got the nerve to compare me to another damn time
I'm running the same goddamn thing you running
Up the side of my mouth
But you young gunnin'?
With no excuse, so y'all better
I'ma sit out and watch while you fuck around and find out
And run into a go-getter
Tell Maria, I'ma write this letter
I don't drink what you drink, I don't smoke what you smoke
In fact, I don't drink at all, but I could drown in waterfalls
Pharmaceuticals out for you
And I only rub alcohol
Funeral homes waiting for my final call
I don't dig what you dig, I don't pick up your slang
Yo
Enough with the old bitterverse, I can't hang
Ha, ha
[Outro]
Ow
Yo, what's up, yo, what's gonna happen after this?
Yo
Man, yo
What you, you ready to do something?
What? You ready to do a lil' something?
