Talk your shit lord
Give em the business ya heard
Word up
We come from over there ya know
This shit is real life man
Every time man
Every time
Ayo (Record Spins)
From being ten toes in, stealing liquor
Running in, my men goes in
That’s how the wind blows in
We was 14 again, back then
One hammer, one blade, one set of rules, one win
Buncha bobcats robbing cats
My block was a goldmine
Floating through the hood in a dodgers hat
Narcs chasin’ n****as through the parks
Running through dice games
The dough was in white plains with barb
Eatings Wеlls, blowin L’s out the water
Fuckin’ them whorеs, rockin’ them shells
Up at Modell’s
The time will come like watches
Soon we be getting paid, leaving all them block shits the notches
Was rising, harmonizing
Yeah my flow was pulverizing, smashing them beats down I glides in
About to be a new man with a new plan
Getting my shit together, word to nana
Talk to shit lord
G-g-give em the business ya heard
Word up
[Voice]
The trouble that mankind makes is that he thinks…
(Raekwon)
This shit is real life man
Everytime man
Everytime
(Canyon)
Yeah
Let it build
I’m like Bill Belichick in the way that I plan my defense
Meaning I don’t have a flow I read whatever the beat is
Could put another sweater on never sweating my demons
Been rapping since 11 I’m 27 and beasting...
That means for 16 years been 16ing
69’ing the beat 3 times, 23’ing
Michael Jordan of recording I am just UNC’ing
Confused by underrestimators, really "you don’t see it"?
Now let it build it again
I want a life with lots of joy that is filled with zen
So if I lose it I remember how to build again
They try to act about as real as I really am
Overflowing with emotions bout to spill again
Ive got family and friends that I will defend
Till the bitter end
If they die when I die imma visit them
I’m so thorough I can sense when it’s all pretend
So that fake love it ain’t love I will accept
Even in new situations I still feel adept
Trust myself and trust my god until his will is met (his well is met)
There is Nothing that I will regret
Because it brought me here
Right to writing this bar
My life at its core
All of my strife and my war
All of these stripes that I wore
All in this mic which I pour
This is my vice that is pure
Uh
This is my life at its core
All of my strife and my war
All of these stripes that I wore
All in this mic which I pour
This is my vice that Is pure
This is my one vice that is pure
Lotta big ideas feel like shark tank in here
Toasting sangria but my heart isn’t here
Thinking of the future, is it smart is it fear?
Anxiety inside of me so sharp and severe
Then a thought does appear
I’m not present for the present and I ought to be here
Blink my eyes, look around and the thought disappears
Take another sip but I’m not distraught, now I’m here and it’s clear
That This ship that I whip where I am skip (yeah) is an awful lot to steer
But I put it on my mom that we gone make it to the pier
Then I take a hit, aw shit I had a big idea...
Big ideas flowing round feel like shark tank in here
Toasting Sangria but my heart isn’t here
Thinking of the future, is it smart is it fear?
Anxiety inside of me so sharp and severe
Big ideas flowing round feels like shark tank in here
Toasting Sangria but my heart isn’t here
Thinking of my future, is it smart, is it fear?
Anxiety inside of me so sharp and severe
But
.. but that’s how light from within the darkness appears
I’m just trying to see my heart in the mirror
Thinking of the future is it smart is it fear?

The trouble that mankind makes is that he thinks he’s Italian, he’s German, he’s Spanish..we’re all humans, on this beautiful paradise
