Yeah
Chitown
I made the headlines the minute that they heard my lines
Chitown needed a crown prince so I gave 'em I
Young king been through hell for what the dreams may come
Witness the legacy unfold right before your eyes
This is melancholy mixed with a touch of greatness
You’ feeling sorry and jolly with every sentence
I'm from the corner store bakery where I made my dough
I'm a dollar more than I was, never say I’m broke
I let my poetry bombinate and propel my cause
A sweet preference, I could achieve the same with prose
Malcom Takurira, make 'em say alhamdulillah
For sparing the next man on his kill list 'cause that's peculiar
You find power in love, I got love for my power
I'm narcissistic and I've earned it, I'm from the gutter
You overly diluted town boys wouldn't last the minute
Made friends with the city and brewed mixtapes in it
Check my record; it’s checkmate when I record
Spill my heart and let my words spear their hearts and throats
Antidepressants won’t lift me, I'm down in the mouth
Out and about, looking around on the scenic route
Chasing the dreamboat life mama couldn’t afford me
I love it that way, I find delight in underdog stories
But I'mma come up smelling like roses, looking like Moses
They can not stop this, they'll make a way for me
Over a barrel but over my dead body should you benefact
It's beneficial I solo, let pain reenact
And learn the ropes and, never fall again
Higher the pain threshold, LOL if I fall again
Laugh in my sleeve when I perceive they juxtaposition
The true king with the kids like it’s another open
Bullycide alert, bully boy when it comes to this
Can't sit my ass down 'cause what are they supposed to kiss?
This is the intro, imagine what they are in for
I'm going the whole hog, I gotta do this for Kiko
He knows I did more for Chitown than it did for me
So I don't owe the city nothing; the city owes me
Said I should be on the radio so they fox with mans
But I could never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs
What's in it for me? Nigga, what's it to you?
I'm content with your girl screaming, "I'm into you"
Opened my big mouth and publicized my dirty linen
But still maneuver through the hurdles, with my pride with me
I'll never stop, my rhythm is perpetual
HipHop, I'm known to carry on like a marsupial
Put more faith in the music than in government lips
Chiadzwa put no diamonds up, Roc Nation did
In my last burst of fire, it's game, set, match
I played the game with the rules they set but they were no match
You could be the GOAT, I wanna be a lion, watch me eat 'em
You could be the greatest of all time in my digestive system
I talk sense so they love my verse pennywise
And those who clown me will only make me Pennywise
Reincarnated in a different premise, I'm constipated
Could give a shit but you gotta be patient
Shawty look like J-Lo, said she love me but she eighteen
And trust me, that's a great thing
But who believes in me? I'm not steady, I'm
Crazy with the belief I can fill up a stadium
Feeling; this fucked up feeling
I feel the Pan-African bullshit, I'm not vibing with it
These rappers are not woke, man, they' sleeping on me
And they just hate to marvel like the DC comics
I'm dreaming Maybachs and more Rovers than Blackburn
Counting presidents in my black hands
I was raised a block away from PhatHood
A synagogue away was a mosque and a Pentecostal
Thug signs and sacraments DNA'd my character
I idolized the chainsmokers and the gang members
With a pair of baggie sweats, a spray-can and a Lakers jersey
This is the only way now, never talk of a red herring
