Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uh huh, yeah
Yo
Locksmith
Apollo Brown
Yo
[Verse 2]
Bear witness
The highest examination of litmus
A verbal firebomb for whatever Bible you lie upon
A quiet storm, via song, I alarm
That rapper you feel for is a billboard for Viacom
By and large, I try to dodge, the fire's strong
Arm of opinions that barely follow entire songs
I was wrong, decided to write up higher psalm
Tried to buy us time, was tired and couldn't find a brawn
[Verse 3]
Non-compliant soldier, I rap to a higher quota
I am boulder, don't put me next to guys you hole up
You can't compare a diet cola to a ayatollah
I invoke the type of foresight that they provided Noah
No, I know no boundary, fuck the clownery
**** be actin' out, so you wonder why there's a frown on me
That's for all of the jealous **** surrounding me
And all my accolades who would flinch at the very sound of me
Badass, curly-headed, and spoiled
Trip to Durant Square 'cause the drug dealers were royal
Full Louis V sweatsuit, I couldn't soil
Black medallion in the heavyweight, belt made out of foil
[Verse 4]
Fake as the face to face that I faced on a daily basis
From people causin' my blood to boil
Fake as the reason they gave for instigatin' invasion
Invadin' my father's country for oil
Toil with the thought of complacency
There's a hole in the vacancy in my soul
So I responded with latency
Lately, I've been focused on more things in front of me
Frontin' me if you wish, till I put your bitch in a summary
Some of theses rap **** resent what I've been doin'
Ruin the social norm, uniform to you and
You and your little fake ass social media babble
Regressing us all back to chattel
[Verse 5]
I know that I'm the difference maker, the syncopator, I sense the favor
You journalists gift the artist that's already with the major
My major was African diaspora
So my response is laughter
Every time you quote a rapper
I know the fascination begins
With a lack of patience with pen
And the fact you pacin' within
So I'm back and bracin' my sins
Back displayin' my faults, only because I'm wiser
A reservoir for boss sprouted out of a geyser
[Verse 6]
Self-guided, I felt slighted, I dealt flyers on windshields
Pursuin' your dreams can cost a lot
Fantasies on how the bosses talk
You know, exotic belts made from animal pelts, ocelot
I was taught better to cross the block
Whether you lost or not
Whether you weather it all and toss the thought
If ever you watch the pot
I've been prosecuted and profited from
Now I just watch you with a understanding
And stand in my spot till it's done
Yeah
