[Intro] Ladies and gentlemen CHIC [Verse 01] I wrote punchlines and they were lit like I were the match Spewing words like an angry chick whose purse was just snatched The John Wick of pencil tricks and verbal attacks I gambled, I lost quick and I turned in my stash It was history, but I wasn't learning the past Kept firing rhymes saying, that my burns would come back Like they were bullets to Superman, they were nothing but blanks And I was hoping I'd rise back to observable ranks But then I plummeted. I was asked to take up a job Music doesn't loan, make or pay for the car Getting high on booze is not raising the bar Get your act straight and focus cause you're playing the part So, they cut me out to say that I was wasting it all And said that rap was just a game that would make it impossible To settle down and lead a life that they could've got With a lady and a baby till I'm eighty or not [Hook] It's been a while since I've been in the game Thought I had changed but I'm feeling the same I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go B-b-been a while since I've been in the game Thought it had changed but it's feeling the same I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go [Verse 02] I was so broke that even sidewalk begging wouldn't hire this Lying still I'd watch YouTube videos and sigh a bit Stopped moping around and I chose my desire It was hard to decide if I should try or quit (quit) Then it hit me I was only mad at me Abandoned my passion so I could have advanced degrees Aimed for A's but was dealt with hands of jacks and queens And yet I played with poker faces though my hands were weak So I sat back and wrote every line that I could say While refining the words like a fine wine with age Not a minute to waste it was high time to play R-r-riddles and tricks I spit to sideswipe your gaze To the real issue - rappers losing sight of the goal You guys are dying for the views and yet you're blinded for sure Your families about to file a missing person's report Cause I'm back, smoking you all every time that I roll [Hook] It's been a while since I've been in the game Thought I had changed but I'm feeling the same I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go B-b-been a while since I've been in the game Thought it had changed but it's feeling the same I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go [Verse 3] Light up the grill cause now the stakes are high I keep beef rare, but if your aims to fight I'll do it well, cause I'll make you face the fire With your favorite rappers who claim that their names are why We listen to the track No, stop that claim All you do is drop crap, y'all ain't potty-trained I'm serving new shots, but getting drunk is not my aim Cause I'm here to free your ears from all this nonsense wait What is with these indie rappers trying to mark their place Their rhymes are tripping so much they f-f-fall flat-faced Competing with each other, over p-p-podcast plays Like t-t-tomcats, stop that, your content's a waste Want real punches? I'm about to serve a verbal jab A one-two's enough for you to learn your verse is bad Your rhymes are so stale that listeners could learn the words from trash 5 years was a break, I'm back to burn and murder tracks Louder for the ones in the back [Hook] It's been a while since I've been in the game Thought I had changed but I'm feeling the same I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go B-b-been a while since I've been in the game Thought it had changed but it's feeling the same I put pencil to paper and I let it all flow Spent years on the bleachers now I'm ready to go [Outro] Game over
