Learn from history, or you're doomed to repeat it

The present is a gift, live in the moment

Next time capsule isn't promised

But I know that you gon' find it

Please save me

Took a train down memory lane for you to refrain from making the same mistakes

The message ingrained inside of the present was simply to gain your trust and faith

Disdain and hate it grows with pain

Get rid of the rage that stained ya heart, it ain't who you are

Thought you was supposed to be the light (well, this shit could get dark)

How I go from overlooked to nowadays overbooked

I speak to their soul now, the shoe on the other foot

I got that motion, yup, but come see the toll it took

It wasn't an easy pass, they turn over for good

I slip, I know it's my fault, lines keeping the world shook

Like how he still don't miss and he been misunderstood

Yeah, I want my revenge, how could I pretend

Think I ain't feeling this power inside of my pen?

I'll prove it again and again, come see what I do in the end

Rap is getting pathetic, remedial records

The media reckless, no reason, no ethics

Whatever's the method for clicks and impressions

Just feed us a message that kill us foreal

We ain't reaching a medic

Don't get full clip or pic 'cause they severed the frame

Capcut everything is an edit

Embedded to keep you in check, but who's checking

These crooked-ass label execs when they take a percentage

Of what should be hitting yo' checking

But I got the leverage to stay independent

And still be cemented, remembered as one of greats

I'm running amok, I'm running it up, y'all **** is running in place

Okay, got a lot to say, I ain't working with a full deck, when I lock in ain't nobody safe

These jokers gotta deal with the ace

And I'm calling a spade a spade

I pray they take it to heart

Diamonds dancing in the club, but most of 'em frauds

I'm pulling they card, they take it too far

Whatever suits you, okay? Then do you

But I'ma keep it truthful

You ain't rocking with me, I ain't rocking with you too

The feeling is mutual

The who's who's try to mute you when the shit crucial

It's a war going on, I ain't neutral

Ain't nothing out here that I'm new to

I could win a lose-lose situation out here, it's a lot of misinformation

Couldn't replicate this greatness even living in a simulation

I gave you the keys for you to succeed (for you to succeed)

Come follow my lead, be better than me (who better than me?)

Come do what I need or see where you'll be (or come see where you'll be)

When I save you, just set me free (aye, set me)

Just set me free, set me free (and we going up)

Just set me free, set me free (and we going up)

Just set me free, set me free (and we going up)

Set me free

Last of a dying breed, we the rejects

In dire need of a reset

Entirely, it's a secret society giving these threats

Algorithms got a few defects

And we let bum ass artists get they feet wet

And they talk like they walk on water

Oh-nah, y'all ain't jesus

It's egregious how money and power shapes this industry

Lack of authenticity it gets to me, would you disagree?

It's hard to stop these clones, bots, and carbon copies

All a plot for more autopsies

All they got is thoughts to chart, the jewels they bought, and car shopping

Hip-hop been down bad, it got odd fast

All these terrible takes and all of this hate off a random podcast

From trolls that comment so common

They making the real ones look like the outcasts

Whoo, y'all going out sad

Whoo, y'all going out sad

It's constant contradiction (they was wrong)

But can't no one admit it (goal post moves)

Y'all been inconsistent (groupthink)

So much, y'all can't be different

The whole system is out dated

Couldn't make up a better foundation

For the crown I'll go at y'all favorites

A small price to pay for salvation

I gave you the keys for you to succeed (for you to succeed)

Come follow my lead, be better than me (better than me)

Come do what I need, we'll see where you'll be (we'll come see where you'll be)

When I say view, just set me free (yeah, set me)

Just set me free, set me free (and we going up)

Just set me free, set me free (and we going up)

Just set me free, set me free (and we going up)

Set me free

Ain't nobody pen been smoking like this

Y'all better stop playing with me
