Lyrics

Make no mistake

It's not revenge he's after

It's a reckoning

Man, you oughta be in bed

What the hell you doing this for anyway?

These streets are my friend

Hell, I got lots of friends

I don't

I don't

I don't

I don't keep a roster, I don't keep a list

But I had one brother and I got two fists

The circle is shrinking, the pressure is sinking

I'm cutting the ties that exists

You're talking to gravel and dirt

I'm walking the clouds and the mist

See, they mistaking my kindness for weakness

A fatal and critical slip

I load up the chamber and check on the danger, I tighten the grip

It ain't about anger, it ain't about hanging on to the heat

It's all about paying the debt that you owe

The second you step in the streets

I heard them say revenge is the mission

But listen that action, is strictly for birds

I settle the score and even the floor, just using a couple of words

Got the cliff on the left side, and the pier on the right side

Watching the brightest of noon days

Into the middle of nighttime

I was patient and waited, abated the breath in the cold

Watching you selling your spirit and soul for a nugget of gold

But the gold doesn't shine in the dark when the power goes out

Now you're starting to panic, learning what we about

Moving in silence like shadows that crawl on the wall

Watching the mighty ones stumble and watching the giants fall

You wanted attention, you begged for the mention

You wanted the spotlight

Nobody coming to save you or pave you a way out tonight

Tell me, who you gonna text when the sun goes down?

When the law ain't looking and there's no one around?

Trading in your honor for a temporary king

Now you're staring down the barrel of a reckoning

You can lock the door and you can hide the key

But there ain't no running from destiny

It ain't revenge, it's a reckoning

A reckoning

We sitting in silence, a moment arises

So open your eyelids and wake up

Never disguising the vision that I'm in

I open the mind then I fly

Hot hella high mind old soul flows like some red wine

Oh no, on the mic, I'm gonna shine

Bright light inter-flight shift in time

Never sell for gold, that's for sure, and so I post up at home

Got a happy wife, happy life, my son is almost full-grown

And as we take control let the bass unfold

And shake the creation

Innovation chasing, and placing footprints in the sand

But no mason

Stepping and flexing the love (yup), repping for all of her love (yup)

One with divine, no running to hide

Stay humble and come with the vibe, uh

Indo rolled up, windows rolled down

No one can slow us, we flow through pro sound

Vibrantly in the mind I peak, in a timeless sleep I dream

Set in my tea is the remedy, sending me elements out of your league

I ping like 5G, stars lit when I light up my tree

Elevate my team like Hakeem, rocket to the moon at top speed

Destiny said to me, "This is your legacy

Follow the music and honor the melody

S-A-S with the L-O-C, better be ready to meet your reckoning

Tell me, who you gonna text when the sun goes down?

When the law ain't looking and there's no one around?

Trading in your honor for a temporary king

Now you're staring down the barrel of a reckoning

You can lock the door and you can hide the key

But there ain't no running from destiny

It ain't revenge, it's a reckoning

A reckoning

It's a reckoning

A reckoning

Why do I do it and why do I risk it

And put it all out on the line?

Riding the storm and ignoring the warning

The weather is looking so fine

Fair weather friends melting quick like snow

When the pressure get heavy, where did they go?

I stand on the pavement and ten toes to the floor

Looking for loyalty, opening doors

Except for the veteran standing beside me

Waiting to drown in the wake of a tsunami

So, keep all your friends and your fake applause

I move for the code, I don't move for laws

Brothers in blood, and we study the flow

And if you didn't know, then you now know

Loyalty currency, you went and spent

Now you sitting and wondering where it all went

Built up a house on foundation of sand

Now you getting crushed by the back of the hand

We mount up the saddle and ride to the end

I don't need an army, I just need a friend

Look in the eye, do not look at the floor

We ain't knocking, we kicking down the door

I've seen the heavy rain, I've felt the cold

I've seen the stories that will never be told

A friend will help you move, a brother helps you move the body

We ain't looking for trouble, we ain't looking for a fight

But if you cross that line

We turn out the light

Tell me, who you gonna text when the sun goes down?

When the law ain't looking and there's no one around?

Trading in your honor for a temporary king

Now you're staring down the barrel of a reckoning

You can lock the door and you can hide the key

But there ain't no running from destiny

It ain't revenge, it's a reckoning

A reckoning

It's a reckoning

A reckoning
