[Verse 1]
Man, I'm gon' kill this beat
Man, I'm gon' murk it
Watch, check
I pulled up in this pickup like should I play or not?
Should I give it a shot, if all they wanna do is take shots? (Right)
The roster's full of "Babies", no Common sense or Black Thought
Bandwagoning like chameleons, but I can't change my spots
Like a leopard, I'm in my element, hungry and eloquent
Put the clamps on wack-ass rappers – Kawhi Leonard
The elegant elephant in the room that ain't nobody noticing
Focus on what looks promising, to haters send our condolences
They say it's easier said than done, so I'ma do 'em both
Dropping album number one, whole lotta room for growth
Gotta start somewhere, no one's destined to win
It's about your discipline to follow your dreams
There's no way to get rid of me, I'm the epitome
Of what the industry could be like, if artists sounded different, G
The versatility, the ability to go lyrically off
Man, I'm like Hov, never at a loss for words (Nope)
The beauty of real hip-hop is what I'm after truly
Y'all just playing games, I listen to my call of duty (Facts)
Rappers like some sea food – I eat 'em raw like sushi
Gotta do it BIG time, 'cause my flow's so “Juicy”
If we have an open convo, there'll be some po-po
You'll be like "Oh no", but me, I thought so
You lying so low, I'm walking solo by the slippery slope
Never have slipped, a firm grip on the things I depict
Flipping the script, turning the tables on naysayers, aight?
But I'm not busy proving 'em wrong, only proving myself right
That's "Light weight, baby!", Ronnie Coleman kinda domination
Shit, people so obsessed with cash, we face deforestation
Tempers flaring, apparently, fraud is glaring
Media's narrative rigged, straight feeding us red herrings
Our leverage is sharing, so I guess the key lies in caring
About things bigger than daily routine at which you are staring, mfucka
[Verse 2]
A real student of the game, I'm the best in the class
Still afraid of being last when I take off my mask
Still unimpressed, still putting myself to the test
I've been tryna find my home, but I'm merely a guest
Anywhere that I go, just can't fit in
The box I think outside of, 'cause I'm free within
Critical thinking's gone, the new norm's to conform
But me, my head's up in the clouds – this is where I belong (Woah)
Workaholic, my mind's melancholic
It's ironic how I still choose faith over logic
Doubts are chronic, life's first name is chaotic
All the world's a stage, but most actors are puppets
'Fore I kick the bucket, pissed, and drop in the soil
I'll be on my bucket list grind, chasing my goals
The turmoil, the crude oil, the anxious voice of my soul
Truth be told, we ain't got shit in control, so
Might as well just be yourself
Give your passion all you got till ain't none left
Used to wait for better times and play around
Till I realized my prime is now (Yeah-yeah)
Just be yourself
Give your passion all you got till ain't none left
Used to wait for better times and play around
Till I realized, till I realized the time is now
[Verse 3]
Okay
Now, look, we sending a message with this one, okay?
Not just talking, not just spitting, man
We sending a message
We arrived, man, we here
Listen, look
Straight out the gate, the mindset's to be great
A lil' extra on my plate, tryna carry some weight
8 days a week – reshape the average structure
Culture lacking someone unique, well, I gotcha
A breath of fresh air, a new story to be told
Never fold under pressure, like Trae I'm ice cold
Hol' up, oh Lord
And when it's (Depo On Da Beat), we going berserk
Right on cue we show up in the vicinity
99 'til infinity, win it with positivity
Taking hostility straight out of the equation
Replacing it with education and being patient
Renascent is peace, no guns and no nukes
Give 'em books, give 'em something to think about, look
Nonsense like "I got paper and hoes" has been said
So many times it got hip-hop dead
Filled with lead and toxins
Immature 'n obnoxious, impostors playing possum
So we ain't got no options, but to be more Conscious like your brotha AB
Live free, no such question as "To be or not to be?"
Willy Shakespeare, let us make it clear
Gotta "be", dump fears to become top-tier
I'm flying outta nowhere – Bron on a chasedown
But I'm here to be loyal – not royal, thus you can keep the crown, it's Conscious
Just like that y'all, just like that y'all
Woo, aye
Look out, ugh
