lyrics

I’ve seen Christmas cookies inspired by shirts that I’ve dropped
I keep it fun, I’m not concerned with any surge to the top
The beating drum is leaving the bitter beleaguered
I paid dues, obeyed moves, considered the risk and procedure
Supercalifragilballistic
These rappers spit a mile a minute but the talent is missing
Stylish gimmicks, vile and wicked with a calendar rigid
Time to hit it Astounding and hidden rhythm when I prowl the division
Endowed with the vision I’m killing doubt with bonesaws in both claws
The merch wizard in blizzards with his dope socks
No cosigns, no length and side is adjacent to me
Chasing goofy cats with slow strides, a Jason movie
Staying woozy in a grey jacuzzi, so where’s the juice react?
Let’s converse, Busy Bee tapes in new TEACs
You can’t relate, the orphanage burned to ash
Along with any records that concerned the batch, merk a track
No time for being less than assertive, I calculate the effort needed
Stetsasonic my breath allotted, demented edicts
The scent of Egypt, chiling at my leisure, I”m not content to reap it
Throwing wrenches relentless the menace, lens the cleanest
My pencil’s bleeding, Eden’s placenta with heaven leaking
I seek the solace of reverie, I am never leaving
Adrenaline my meaning tethered to the leash’s swing
The allure of crowns and royalty can keep a king
Holding on to secrets sting, the beast unleashed can feed the ring
Jesus pieces as a cheat sheet, believe and sing
I feed them string, a steady diet what will maybe be
So many pass along, survivor’s guilt, I remain to breathe
The pain in me painstakingly painting hatred enables greed
Buffalo soldier boots, fitting bills with fatal cleats
Neonatal beeps from the NICUs where parents cry
Prepared for new additions, never prepared to die
And where’s the lie?
