lyrics

word is born, my thoughts appear as gondoliers in birth canals
the essence, verbal a fertile crescent from Churchill Downs
I got the dog in me, Bravas with the purchase now
Hakeem with the turnaround the way I'm working sounds
verbs and nouns on that adidas scope, the triple beam
please believe the beats are dope purified to cripple fiends
even cats on a grip of lean regret the taste
Laced the overdosed, footnotes on my resume
believe it, I’m even fresher in the present day
and I started dope as hell, spit forever great
I'm taking runs, relieving pressure on a stressful day
Forsaking some, but the present’s where I’m best to stay
the mental blocks, the mighty monsters that I thread with thought
regrets, vendetta’s renaissance, a perch the vultures tread upon
lay my head down upon a bed of song and get it wrong
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

quality check stickers with Vietnamese fingerprints
hiding inside the lint trap, a lifetime to drink a spritz
I’m finding designs of impact, impactful people in corporations
Swallowed whole by the force of hatred, a source of labor
Resourceful with a gorgeous cadence, watch the lines converge
Sports are sacred, the sacrament to pack the mighty dirge
Who might emerge from the chrysalis of crispest dollar bills
A butter flying from the firepan demolish ills
Hell to pay with shell games, cell names the mollusk chills
Building knowledge still working on aquatic brolic skills
From my pen, the lava spills, mountain from the hills of moles
Building the impossible, the better just to kill your goals
A rhetorician villain vogues, ready for his close up
Machete manicure the petty weapon with the rogue lust
Refrigerators in the mailers what bespoke was
Chained to the machine, a newly purchased pair gold cuffs
