(Intro)
Generic back up in the studio
If I show up to my funeral
It’ll turn into a musical
Like this...
First thing that I gotta to say to you is that I’m chill now
There ain’t no guts left in me that I can spill out
No job applications left for me to fill out
It took 4 years of fakin’ it to get the real out
So this is me completely in the flesh with not an adlib or backdrop
Flip the open sign, here’s the key to my padlock
Chalkin’ out my feelings, I’m a kid on the blacktop
Watering the seeds of all the trees that I had chopped
I’m hot, there’s no way that you’re coolin’ me down
So here’s to you if you never fitted in the crowd
Even if you did thеn, but isn’t doin’ it now
I know you heard those little voicеs when their music was loud
I’m generic, but there ain’t a single thing like that about me
I gave myself the name for anyone who tried to doubt me
And if you listen close when you get to play my song
You can tell ‘em that I’m here to prove the dictionary wrong
I’ma re-define the word, I’m for sure, all the lines are blurred
Knew that I was hur to bring a message while I’m rhymin’ words
Christ said love thy neighborhood, I concur
That’s why every time that I am heard, it’s a Bible verse
And I don’t mean to toot my horn, but I ain’t movin’ on
You ‘bout to see my newest form, and you as worn as uniform
Listen to my newest song, every word will prove ‘em wrong
Kick a style, Louboutin, rip ‘em off, Kubla Khan
All about my business now that I can say the suit is gone
Find another city I can set up shop and rule upon
I just stuck to it, stuck to it, and the glue was strong
Smoke you like a hookah bong, put you where, you belong
Duke Nukem palms, Cuba bombs, got bazookas drawn
Blindfold Lebron, it don’t matter who I’m shootin’ on
I was there from the beginning, I'm the alpha with it
Self-inflicted, rappin’ all alone, no one helped me with it
I was there behind the bars, lockin’ me in
And back then, I was never mixin’ tonic wit gin
Now I’m back to bring a dose of narcotics again
This a re-up for my town, No Apologies, friend
In ‘14, I let out a different face, that’s my doppelganger
Breakin’ Branches, everybody in my path got the finger
Now I make ‘em clap like some gospel singers
Punchlines - boxing trainer, knockin’ doors down, but I am not your neighbor
You don't get remorse when I'm settin’ course, settle scores
Got ‘em jumpin’, checkerboards, cut it up, get divorced
I met a critic on the metacritic message board
Dropped a metaphor and walked away with perfect metascore
I live inside a world that always rains but it never pours
Ready for whatever, whether not, I can weather storms
Step into to the record store walking thru my set of doors
Every line is pure as Snow White & Seven Dwarves
They used to tell me less is more, but I ain’t never sellin’ short
Lyrically, a stegosaurus, what the hell you jealous for?
Long range, measure yours, compass never headed north
Tempered sword, shfing, see me runnin’ wild wit the torch
Sock it to ‘em when I open up like a dresser drawer
Competition severed with the measure, what a clever sport
Speakin’ like I’m Celeborn, welcome to the second floor
Halo over devil horns, land it with impressive form
Sweater warm, never warn, always go against the norm
She said that my newest single’s poppin’ like some kettle corn
Heart is torn, gave the girl a rose with some Bella Thornes
Next time, you’ll understand who you half-steppin towards
I used to live inside a house made outta sticks
Now you huff and puff up on a factory made outta bricks
It's the neighborhood I know when I'm referring to my clique
I’m the only artist here that anyone of ya’ll can pick
I never cared about myself, I was doin’ what I do
My two parents taught me well and I’m just followin’ suit
For anyone that tries to advantage of my talents and my honesty, then just know that I’ll be gunnin’ for you
I’m the one on lookout duty when you you know that no one else was there
I’m the one who said “Well, welcome in!” and helped you get prepared
I was never thinkin’ about myself, I hope you’re well aware
Because I know that every single person here is selfish, yeah
Ask my friends who they can call for some help
I’m always gonna give instead of takin’ any for myself
And I’ma help my neighbor out if I can spare the time
So maybe that’s a lil’ something you should bear in mind
I (inhale) inhale hope and breathe kindness to ya’ll
Everyone will be okay if they know I am involved
I’m the roots, I’m the trunk, man I feel like Johnny Appleseed
Lettin’ everybody pick a shiner off my apple tree
