Lyrics

I had to separate my worth from my situation
Like I was bathing in the dirt, still carried fragrance
Vision hazy in the search, still dreamt of greatness
I'm obsessive about the work, no hesitation
From where you either catch a fade or you get faded
Tryna kick it with some Blazikens, they tryna blaze it
Shooting hollows like bleach, they all got stainless
How I seen so many shots but never saw a chaser
No wonder there's so many addicts in my family we never say much
See my past when I'm passing the mirror, seen home invasions
The mirror tell me to put the mask on
Like I was stepping into 36 Chambers, who invited Jason
Like Pedro Martinez, they see my pitch, expect a change-up
Y'all worried about the umpires and tryna play it safest
I've been stealing bases, Jackie Robinson against the racists
Did this on my first take, had to Stephen A it
But if you insist that I punch in, I'll Cassius Clay this
Claymore over my back, I'm coming equipped, yo
I'm loading the clip, grenade launching at the pavement
If I blow up, that's it, the whole block finna make it
They wanna have a shot, and I'mma throw the assist
Plus it's rare to outshine me like a solar eclipse
I'm a poet that spits, that's a rare combination
You don't know what this is, it's a culmination
Of hard work, natural talent, lots of death, plus determination
That's a secret formula, you'll never take it
You like plankton, we'll keep the recipe for ages
The one thing I'll never be is fuckin' nameless
My history is full of rebels through the generations
We like the Haitians, island blood, spill for liberation
Never for the corporations, we going back to basics
We goin' back to basics
The shit we sayin' before other **** turned Saiyan in the matrix
They claiming they animated, I claim this an animation
Difference is, y'all technicians is dated
Difference is, all types of statues is jaded
Especially if that shit wasn't what you made it
Listen, I'm finna send you to your makers
Hopefully you meet your maiden, up in heaven
With dudes, really think they was made of, somethin' that was greater
I think they was really somethin' that was imaginating
Understand that you, really ain't shit but an exacerbator
Either that or masturbator, meanwhile an average hater
Could do better than you, I Pluto over anybody you know why, I'm that dude
Meanwhile when I zoom, like I just hopped in the whip
Mixed with the shrooms, don't even know what the speed is
Still man, it be your doom, either that or this trip, that I'm on finna swoon
To a whole another landscape, listen you a mandrake
Nothin' but a filth of a scream over squirts, understand you ain't shit
And I'm not givin' zilch, I'm the realest in this section
Understand that's how I'm built
Megatron in his prime yo, truth be told you **** is outta line, tho
I ain't say Megatron, I'm Metaroid
You understand you other **** is losing
Why, because your metaboids getting snapped
Understand I'm that, you should adapt or get slapped
