[Chorus: Embis]
Every time that I am then I ain't
It's like I was then wasn't
It don't last, does it? I say
It's almost like every change never takes
It's like I did but didn't
Begin beginnin' again
Every time that I am then I ain't
It's like I was then wasn't
It don't last, does it? I say
It's almost like every change never takes
It's like I did but didn't
Begin beginnin' again
[Verse 1: Embis]
In a vicious cycle, thought you was Mindful, Michael?
Mind's full as fuck but still absent minded, the mindless rival
A hook and two verses, rap it and tack on a lively title
To disguisе this guy inside with the rapidly rising vitals
'Cause hе knows that it's vital, play the game for the audience
Same ones that keep applauding what you consider so vile
So keep on-keep on plotting your plodding plot to defile
Neither stooped or elevated, you talk like you're not incomparable
Made to stoke the fire and just hold up all the rain
So you say, no accomplices, you drove 'em all away
With your honest-to-god-esty, ain't no hope that they would stay
But you stocked with the modesty, yeah, you know that you to blame
For the fame, how many vultures come in, talkin' about the mumble?
Rather highlight a verse than take the time to highlight all their struggles
The foundation pave the way, it maybe given out from underneath
And crumbling and leavin' nothin' will leave you humbled!
I don't got any hatred for no one except my former self
The adolescent who dreams of nothin' but some enormous wealth
At least back then though things were okay, was only bored as hell
Now, it seems I'm doomed and forced in a boat that's on board to hell
Hell, I'm still wary 'bout the current conditions
And still, I'm frozen in space due to this pure inhibition but
Maybe all these poems, rhymes and words are attempts to
Divert the incentive to quit, go alert all the tenants, begin again!
[Chorus: Embis]
Every time that I am then I ain't
It's like I was then wasn't
It don't last, does it? I say
It's almost like every change never takes
It's like I did but didn't
Begin beginnin' again
Every time that I am then I ain't
It's like I was then wasn't
It don't last, does it? I say
It's almost like every change never takes
It's like I did but didn't
Begin beginnin' again
[Verse 2: CusaX]
Reborn, new year, a new cause
New drive, a new fear, a new clause
You drivin' new vehicles, new cars
Two timin', two-faced and too far—
Gone, experiences man, it's Shakespearean
The way you pushin' fear into the man
That I was, need a buzz to get serious
And stand on my business, my label, I'm leery
All because of the (What?)
Unhinged, chaos and destructive
Thoughts that wringed out of my head, it's disgusting
Move past but if you move fast, it's too brash
Move last but if you move slow, you lose hope
How do I get this done, how do I approach
When I'm wrenching at the thought
Of even tellin' y'all my woes?
'Cause I tell it and I'm shunned
I get stricken off the board
Go to hell you fuckin' punk
You never think about the world but
Maybe I didn't, but now I do
Do I think I'm on the rise? Maybe that too
Put my life into just writing these speeches
Leaches tryna take it from me, motherfuck you too
Comin' up again with nothin'-nothin' but a pen
And Embis bringin' in the heat
You couldn't do it in your sleep
At the front up in the war
Know you heard this one before
So now we begin again
So gimme all my applause 'fore I say—
[Chorus: Embis]
Every time that I am then I ain't
It's like I was then wasn't
It don't last, does it? I say
It's almost like every change never takes
It's like I did but didn't
Begin beginnin' again
Every time that I am then I ain't
It's like I was then wasn't
It don't last, does it? I say
It's almost like every change never takes
It's like I did but didn't
Begin beginnin' again
