[Intro - Fay Allure]
[Verse I - Manic TL]
Yo, was toe tagged on the day I was born
He who carves the most paths will deal with the most thorns
There's the motherfucking door, but you could call sometime
I couldn't tell you who I am, I lost all my minds
I fall, I fly, or whatever, you heard it before
The dopest "this and that" sayer from the shore to the shore
They know what we're about, but we're still gonna tell 'em some more
Enough money to buy a house, but I still sleep on the floor
(like, come on)
My mama asked what all this money is for
Asked me if I could afford to stay happy before
I try to live in the moment, but I want it to pour
A room ain't beautiful to me unless I could open a door
I don't know, I just keep walking 'til the land mines blow
They call me Manic, or TL, or just the star of the show
I keep it cool in the summer, I bring the heat in the snow
Shorties think that he's Edgar, you pick if Ramirez or Poe
He claim it's written, life is just another story foretold
But then I broke all of my bones, 'cause I ain't tuck when I rolled
I'm over the throne, if you thought I'm overthrowing the throne
I'm just throwing up hand-signs at those who's over my road
(like, oh)
My mask tight, and I act right when they gaslight
It's the clash of the Tennessee Titans, she's in her bag, piping
Let it ripen and serve another cup of vomit to 'em
She bob her head, but she ain't even know I'm talking to her
My spot is ruined, Ima move like five or ten feet over
The block is hot, so there's always a chance it starts to smolder
I wet the coca then light the stove with a box of soda
Done it since my teen years, so I probably won't stop when I'm older
A solider, but I load my weapons in the street
It's hard to be discreet when that heat don't fit in your jeans
Anybody got a problem? Should probably leave it to me
I responded to her comments and got her eager to meet
I ain't ever fear defeat, I fear not learning no lessons
Took the path with the most resistance, with the faith of a reverend
I told him I would get it, or I'd die trying to get it
This life will take you for a ride, and if I was you I'd let it
Over the limit, I done lost all of my thoughts in the grass
But I ain't going back to get 'em 'cause I'm hauling my ass
I'm bypassing the past, I'll die laughing to match
Shit is coming right to me, they think they're out for the catch, fuck 'em
[Skit]
[Fay Allure & Manic TL]
[Verse II]
But I take it back and raise the bar again
Crowd raging like I'm on the stage with Russ and Marr again
Thought it was minor league 'till they seen the place we started in
We're the bump in year like near the piercing in your cartilage
I've been on it and off it, under, over, and on top of it
I've been lost in the matrix, and just basically rocked with it
Been around my metropolis, every block myself
I've been to heaven, been to hell, and been to vault 112
I don't ask, don't tell, no pause, just all real
Y'all was sitting on the bench, I was benching them barbells
Pockets and paws filled, I'm advancing with God's shield
Y'all could stick to your position, I'm covering all fields
You probably know the drill, at least by now, so quiet down
Thought I wild out, but I find I'm actually fine now
We're live now, so shit is different today
After a million wishes I made all glistened away
I move consistent at a pace without no blip in my trace
So steadily along my path without no hindrance faced
And after all that wasted effort, this feeling just can't be measured
If I could live my life again, I'd do shit sooner, not better
(That's it)
