Lyrics

Yeah
Run it up, run it up don't blink, you'll miss it
Mind like a storm and a tongue ballistic
I'm a lexical weapon, I sever perception in fractions of seconds
You stuck in recession, I'm pressing progression, obsessing perfection
I read what you write and it's light, it's a diet no protein, no iron
I feast on entire encyclopedias while casually rhymin'
Got a head full of static, erratic, but still I'm adaptive
You passive, I'm active, synaptic connections reactive
I fracture the beat like a plate when I step in the kitchen
You follow instructions I rewrite the definition
I'm volatile, yeah, but the voltage is useful
You neutral, I'm nuclear beautiful, brutal
My thoughts do laps while yours barely crawl
Even on the breakdown I outthink y'all
Yeah my brain might shake, might bend, might snap
But I still outpace every line you draft
It's a mess upstairs, but it works just fine
I'm a glitch that learned how to optimize
I can make a hook, make it stick, make it stay
Even while my mind trys to drift away
I can make a point, make it hit, make it land
While I'm barely holdin' thoughts in my hand
Yeah I'm unstable, still I'm able
Turn a breakdown into somethin' fatal
Catchy with a message watch me demonstrate
Think I'm losin' it? I'm just operatin' great
I'm literate, militant, penmanship elegant
Relevant rhetoric, never repetitive
You hesitant, delicate every line sediment
I'm sediment-shiftin', tectonic with sentences
Big words? Cool but I don't gotta spam 'em
I plant 'em strategic, then watch how they land
Like "epistemology," knowledge of knowing
You don't even know what you don't understand
I'm manic with metrics, poetic but reckless
Aesthetic's electric, pathetic? That's you
I studied the craft while you studied excuses
Now look at the gap that you cannot reduce
Hyper-verbal, cerebral dispersal
Universal reversal of personal hurdles
Cognitive surge with a turbulent swirl
I'm a beautiful, unfiltered, unhinged girl
I stutter, I scatter, I shatter, I climb
I lose track of thought then I double the time
You need clarity? I redefine chaos
And still make it rhyme
I can make a hook, make it stick, make it stay
Even while my mind trys to drift away
I can make a point, make it hit, make it land
While I'm barely holdin' thoughts in my hand
Yeah I'm unstable, still I'm able
Turn a breakdown into somethin' fatal
Catchy with a message watch me demonstrate
Think I'm losin' it? I'm just operatin' great
Yeah barely focused, still the sharpest in the room
Call it chaos, I call it a different kind of bloom
If I'm breakin', I'm breakin' every limit you defend
Even at my worst, I'm still better than your best.
