Yeah
I wanna get this before my phone die
I gotta find a name for these records, yeah
Mental evaluation
In dire need of vacation
But I'm off to the races
My body is not a haven
To well wishes or patience
Agent of chaos
Roses in muddy water vases
Yet the flowers still in bloom
The proof is still infused
In these concrete melodic tunes
Although unenthused
And blue, abused and cynic
Riddled with monumental civil unrest
My blood bubbles thru heart troubles
I had a homie that once told me
He couldn't deal with my mood swings
Meanwhile I'm hanging by a shoe string
Not everybody gon' grace you with understanding
Sometimes all our moral standards
Get weighed by the obligations we're handed
I can't fault him if he came to conclusions
He disillusioned
And choose to move in head of the sense
That better suits him
I can't guarantee nothing but trying
If that's a buy in I know it's terrifying
To come in blind it's mystifying
Often misdefined myself
To narratives from people whos heritage
Is based in comparative, disparaging
Arrogance, failed marriages
Yet declarative to play therapist
And speak to me like I'm a heretic
It's so imperative to know yourself
Set time for your health
Regardless of no one else but you
And If they poof on the day you crash
It is what it is, things don't always last
So cherish that
Be more direct, uh
Come to collect, I need a check
For being one of the best
To ever rep up out the X
Back when Memo was elxit
Randy made the connect, I made my entrance
And Bathgate was where we stayed
That was my great escape way before 808's graced
Any beats that he made for me
Now we Harlem shake
Back when Buddhaflip was Tony Roc
These upstarts living large
Unsmart, but ain't require the heart
Him and Dante argued all the time
Them Mont Hall homies outta line
Shout out to Daniel and to Sav
Those were the best days of our lives
I noticed why
A bunch of genius minds
Backed by a brotherhood and a bond
Shout out my brother Bryant
I love you for your kindness and
That divine energy you be supplying
Though we ain't speak in a while
Hope you know you on my mind
Just had to find a solution
For I end up dying
And sometimes I catch a sign that things gone be alright
But don't pretended be
Transparencies what I need
Back when birds chirped tweet now they fleet
My dove like a piano key
The wingspan is incredible
Airport revenue
Hope that it's legible what I done
All the years I wrote, stayed broke and overcome
And on the nights I spilled over the pad
And no one cared
Yet I still knew
No one could ever touch the kid, holla

Romancing forecasts that crack the sun back
Soul spastic
Programed and unpacking what my folks dragged in
Dead weight I'm toe tagging
I wear mask like majora
The allure of that's
Florist to a forest
My phone don't Saturn
Halo won't lasso
And if I have reached my Plateau
What then, what matters
What backbone won't snap
Like southern crunk
Bundled up under comforters
Gallons dump out my tear ducts
When snuggled up
I guzzled dozens of honeys I'm buzzing
I bees up in the trap
Trying crack codes and claps that bear arms
It's Russian roulette
Trying to commit
What a trip, all abroad
Calling shotgun with a sawed off
And I dump clips for the sport
Shoot shots till I'm horse
Commit cause till the law come get me
Then I swig it like Chris Rivers did words swiftly
I'm either punch drunk love
Or I'm touch lust tipsy
And I won't drive safe
Can't call a cab home
The feel of intoxication
Best feeling I've ever known
I just drove, yeah I drove
Past fork in the road
An I choose to cruise my control
I might just implode
On impact from this crash
A dummy on dispatch going nowhere fast
Just looking to get ahead
Straighten when round the bend
If this too deep for the intro
My bad
I'm in my bag yup
I'm in my bag yup
Might catch a tag
You might catch this drag yup
And they may say they something but they nothing like this

Yeah
Holla back youngin', woop
Uh, I like that
Ain't come to sing no hook
Came to quick wit with vigor
Address and deliver, bricks
For your winter conditions
Ain't always sweet as it look
Might be bitter it ain't glitter
It's gold tinted
I came to kill the beat and get acquitted
Scott free, oxy clean
They hate my moxie
Only way that they lock me is if they cop me
They trying box me in
That's rich, for someone rowdy
Talking Saudi, allow me to educate all of them doubters
I'm a product of off handed dynamics
Ghosts and phantoms
Would cause panics on days I went manic
Depressive, regressing
In my youth, my adolescence
My bed was both hell and heaven
And I'll admit it
I wasted a few years
Tasted a few tears
Based my self love in fears that were spoke in ears
Watched most of my peers grace
While I'm stuck in this space
And what's worst your gears age as your spirit breaks
Late to the party if you ain't work on your healing
Fifth of Barcadi by the time that the truth started spilling
I ain't come to regret I came to reveal it
And let the universe do the measure
Now what's the metric for success
If you don't play by the standards in which they handed you
Once you catch your self love they catch an attitude
They rather catch that than catch my gratitude
I'm from a divine attribute
Out the zoo blocks
149th, up in the boondocks
Searching for truth out a juice box
Was just a kid trying to spit and convince
My fellow artist if I ain't the hardest I'm the smartest
We made progress with the time allotted
Was always soulful and melodic
Had to bring it back to where it started
For the snotty nosed nerdy child
Who was riding high off the sound
And expressing his pain the only way he knew how
This for the homies
Yeah, Memo, yeah
Tryna go viral like Kony
2012 Is the year in which I premiered like Adobe
Writing raps with catchy hooks tryna get signed to Sony
Hate to be with bad company I rather be lonely
Oh Lordy, fucked up priorities
Defund authorities, where I'm from everyone's a minority
Girls from sororities became the norm
Move incognito like I'm watching porn
You know how that go
I'm torn between the options
The paths that I could take I thought out all the concoctions
Doctor Strange with it I figured out the synopsis
Only one way and I'm going once like an auction
Stress shopping tryna be the flyest
Think I'm the best but obviously I'm bias
Objectively they can't deny it
Ain't got a lot to say in the age of protests and riots
Sometimes I might engage other times I stay quiet
Gotta protect your energy
I keep it real especially on melody
I'm super skeptic of everything folks telling me
And son I'm grateful I know that the lord's blessing me
Blessing me like uh
