Messianic fan favorite champagne glasses Hors d’œuvres gorgeous asses that curve, opposite of flat earth Nat Turner fast learner ass, the perfect cast Denzel and Tom Hanks, I draw blanks like Birken bags I spark the birth of that Renaissance lexicon Your ex is on my dick, disrespectful shit the legend on I try to stay righteous but the devil plans different I wanna tap I can’t stand kissing, foul man wisdom Taliban chilling, calesthenics in the kitchen My style aesthetics better than an artist best vision Wait till the karma kicks it, I’ll win it all Nobody better than the legend, when the pen is involved Break up the Peking order Won the game by the end of the second quarter The best scorer fucked around and made the lesson shorter We don’t respect informers intercept your offers Interject myself in the convo like a veteran lawyers You know what it is Princely what I kick, made me instantly rich The game hypocrite these fake Niggas dissing me since We used to be cracking jokes, now you buying crack to smoke You used to be macking hoes find yourself tricking to poke I guess that’s what’s you get, for being an asshole I suppose That warm frienship just fizzled, now the vibes is cold I heard they caught you panhandling off a styrofoam You should have voted for bernie he would have found you a home Was never humble when you could have been You put ya foot up in mouth of what potentially you could have been. Thinking for the short term, the marathon couldn’t win You eating crumbs… I'm blazing these beats like sugar binge Your whole persona is cringe, I’m luka Doncic with the rock It’s not even a conscious thing when I launch a shot It’s sad, they caught shopping your demo in a pawn shop Stuck in 90s alone and broke thinking your song's hot…. I really heard that…

This for my counterparts, the counter culture art Projecting like cannon ball, doing dirt when the cameras off Standing tall still, amidst the crisis and drama Cause life in bondage ain’t the type of life that fit my persona A man of honor, with words that manifest nirvana Mamba mentality, secret lunches with the black Madonna Thinking bout the next move I might make I never telegraph cause motherfucker might hate For right price I might bless you on a tight schedule Fuck if I might offend you I’m exploiting my potential So be thankful for the hand I extend you Cause that same hand can wield the instrument that’ll end you This is modus operandi I’m focus on the franchise These snakes gonna switch, still the winner by a landslide If they wanna change side fine..you can die By the same gun you holding I get emboldened When it’s game time You wanna play let’s play Men get held accountable for what they say You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay You wanna play let’s play Men get held accountable for what they say You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay Ever been in a situation that smell fishy? Hit a show grimy niggas all smiles and well wishy Shaking with a. fish hand, a wishy washy stance My Washington days, had me educated to scams It be the ones that’s closest to you that’ll put a toast to you Gotta stay stoic while the boiling the blood is flowing through you The who demeanor will clue you, if they scheming to make a move Suggest you get y’a ass up out of there, eliminate the ruse Innate jewels, I don’t make the rules, I just adapt to em Rarely see me post moves, Pat Ewing I might a block a bitch , player coach popovich Corny motherfucker blushing off a compliment The voice of god I call the shots like Optimus My record column looking positive like optimist You popping shit with ya name floating in documents Get crossed out quick like items on my shopping list You wanna play let’s play Men get held accountable for what they say You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay You wanna play let’s play Men get held accountable for what they say You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay

Peep the new specs seven terabytes on deck Shorty walking like she got paradise on her breast Hairstyle fresh, but yo peep I’m out I gotta jet Next thing you know, same night she sliding in my bed Early bird spesh 38 in the flesh Ya face says to me, you never seen the pearly gates yet I act fake impressed, might even tell ‘em break a leg Based on my track record nobody can tell me I ain’t the best Rather say it on wax then Twitter, I’m the inventor Who delivers, through the rigors of life without a hick up How you stack up? Can barely get y’a act together Turn around ask if we can do a track together Uh huh Your timing wasn’t real you was trying to find a deal While I was stacking up a mountain that’s amounting to a mil I was drowning out the field, just trying out my gills No chill no pity for the lames shouting out the real All the DJs and MCs Mogadishu You can’t leave Po the game needs you These dues you gotta pay, up until the pain feeds you It ain’t cheap it ain’t what you make it’s what you keep I gave you game free for years cause I rather you eat Rather unique shouting to Sosa we looking down on mediocre Send a meteor shower on the culture Fly shogun, the coefficient at its limit With ya corny gimmick fishing for a blip of my attention These rhymes got expensive… don’t suspend your sense of logic Managed to mix ignorance and intelligence in the product That game ain’t loyal, you cucks is flame broiled Grease ball tendencies came from the same oil Straight forwards type approach it’s the life of Po Flights to go Where to? I’d bet you’d like to know I draw it nicely, you play in ya car nightly The bronze knight known to put it on like Ron Isley On wifey

Smack out y’a sneaker dusting every feature S Dutton when I’m barking I’m a glutton for the ether They talking but when I walk in the room nothing but crickets I cuffing the bag, smoke yall, then puffing a pack Call a bluff out, see many tough guys get duffed out And get touched by the palm of god, knocked the fuck out Drink Paul Masson to calm the adrenaline surge It’s Hell on earth, over here even the devils get burned Thought I was done but the gun butt em thought he was smart These dumb dumb traveled from his armpit to his heart One to the head, his conscious dripping down on his arm Reduced to red meat, time to ship him off of the farm Ya soul out of here, body disconnected from life Mom crying unplugging you from an electric device Reality accepted, objective complete Thats fait warning, for anybody checking for me Yo the legend You never heard of such murder suspect in the scene The burner bust, dead bodies turn up on the beach Make u sea sick my face alone overwhelm the precinct Put ya mans face on it help you sell the T shirt Social work help get the community clean Adapted to the pandemic my immunity leans My EKG, looking like a peak KG You can just blame God I play the cards the gave me Criminal smooth alike MJ and JB Say something, I’m known to break something like AD My brain is reptile you got chest out? Here’s a projectile The hotel named valley o death, all of em check out Out to get a rep like an outcast stepchild Like my money quiet but make sure you write the check loud You got the drop? I’m a verify whether it checks out, Scan his DNA on the wall, the final check out

Macedonia, hash tag Napoleon Fast track my goals plus mad cash to blow Plus all these rappers get exposed Politicians get it too I'm synonymous to revenue A prophet who the devil knew Knock it you should never do It shocked em when they read the news The Legend is impeccable Eating berries and vegetables Totally delectable Successful still accessible You cats is unelectable Not doing what I’m expecting to Push it to the limit farther Slapping up your business partner Trade like I invented barter Rap like I’m an instant martyr Minute later in Atlanta missed the Marta The jig is up you take up with mister carter Both my fist a hit your gut Press ya luck, I’m pharaoh of Egyptian nature Master scientist for which, I have a massive inclination Words in syncopation, known to cure the sickest patient The biggest bag getter I secure the shit you pay in

Avirex Days 02:02
Apex predatory threats from the Avirex days Assessing situations incorrectly when you stressed days Ill advised words, they tried to minimize the worth Ain’t gonna lie it gave me strength my enterprise was birthed Solicited by promiscuous chicks Who act duplicitous who try to shoot their shot Still they miss the kid My life mysterious, unknown my whereabouts I move in silence, my albums only thing you hear about I don’t care about, the latest trend or the way you spend Raised in the murder capitol amongst the bravest men Got it from the dirt at the juncture where the pavement ends Guess the pressure in the junction of Flatbush made a gem I made amends with the mistakes of the past The pace was fast snakes’ll try to make a move for your stash With Giallo cooked a new batch represent a new class They fucked around and got blew passed, I guess it’s too bad Bam Bam Once upon time in China, a child was born He practiced martial arts to the crack of fucking dawn His moms was working on a farm he only knew his dad was gone Getting out the village was the mission he was on His teacher was a perv inappropriately touched him Picked a sword up right from the floor and he cut him Blood gushing on the yoga mat took a shower Bought a bus ticket dipped out of town in half an hour He in Shanghai, staring at the skyscrapers Looking for odd jobs for any money he was scrape up Working at a cigars lounge sweeping up the ashes Late night would sneak up in the basement to practice Underground Fight Club battles to the death Police looking the murderer just adding to the stress At the junkyard he rocked an Avirex he found laying Stress travels all across the world in rotation

Automatically my presence felt we all gravity I make mistakes grammatically but they get it, they adapt to me Cooler than James Webb some use us just to gain cred I see it from a mile away I play it like I'm brain dead My slang fire, break it down to ya like Wayne Dyer Trynna take the high road kid, by lifting the lane higher I'm a loose canon Bruce banner like My influence spanning a lifetime me and my fam alike Thats Nejma Nefertiti, known each other for ages While they be dishing ice cubes, we be moving glaciers And that's gracious and beautiful like, mountains in Appalachia I like to paint it vivid for people with aphantasia Tax evasion machinations stacks in mattress in the basement Looking back at where we started at smiling in amazement We feed what they craving that organically developed It's a family affair can show you better than I can tell it This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z Name another duo like us, you'll never find Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z Name another duo like us, you'll never find Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind I'm multi universe the vastness flow blessed with extreme exactness Low tech with a genius rapper Both step on the beat it's a classic Problematic for the cookie cutter culture we not gon have it Got our tongues out like Jordan Imagination can be so graphic Like death staring you in the face you could see yourself in a casket So many facets put hours in I practice off the axis Some call it madness I call it my vivid dreams in action They give up freedom for convenience fiends for satisfaction That short term high repeated bleeding all over the masses Disastrous if you don't want the truth to the question don't ask it This the last kiss goodbye before I disappear into the blackness Explosive like climactic ferocious and quite attractive The Dopeness is type massive they open and eye catching Outspoken divine habits they smoking flying ashes Baroqueness fresh and elaborate and focused Higher than average Provoke shit I am a savage you know this timeless we magic This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z Name another duo like us, you'll never find Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z Name another duo like us, you'll never find Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind

Proud like an Algerian Man The bright brilliant Barbarian I fight like an Nigerian can Carrying out my plans, but not divulging my goals Now they screaming cancel-culture, when you calling out folks Bunch of hoax, ending disgraceful like Hulk Hogan Stuck ya nose inside my business now you nose broken I’m saying how to try compare dirt to a flame Nothing lit be popping up when they be searching ya name How you go from surfing a lane to now searching a vein These black market pharmaceuticals is hurting your brain Took a step back, changed the way I interpret the game Went through the wringer, it’s impossible to leave perfectly sane I brainstorm to find a way toward what I aim for Channel all the hurt cause I could never switch the pain off Until it pay off, knock on wood like the play-offs Push off for some daylight, so I can get my J off Ya squad weak I may erase y’all from history Jordan vs Utah deface y’all for dissing me Oliver Galactus, spread knowledge over the atlas They get engagement from some robots, my followers is active Increase my money while I sleep, keep dollars in the mattress Opps mentioning my name feels like they swallowing a cactus Got you chocking on blood for saying Pharaohgamo syllables Principle richer under god indivisible

Survival equipped me not to never be short on ideas When its time to celebrate Me and my boys we know to buy beers We know the criteria by this time our rivals know to cry tears And time it flies when you’re fearless We don’t notice the years We whoring ourselves for this shit, it’s the oldest career We put our hopes there and when it hits We tell jokes and we cheer We switch chairs like a musical, life is not a musical When you hear the music you better move When the time is suitable Before they put you in a suit And escort you to your own funeral I've been supplying the game with pressure And that zone is beautiful No love lost for anybody who did me wrong I'm just advancing thru the levels that’s the type of shit I’m on Embody the drip I got on like it’s seeping through my pores With a conscious so clear huh I can be sleeping through a war So if you complain about the game do us all a favor a exit You can be a fan from the sideline, while you watch us resurrect it These scar beautiful I wear em proudly on my skin Good deeds a rebalance the scale Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins These scar beautiful I wear em proudly on my skin Good deeds a rebalance the scale Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins How outsmart someone trynna outsmart you? You swimming with sharks, snakes trynna out shark you You sitting there shocked thinking you was friends from the start Thought you was Sharp over estimated your role in the part Now you sore cause you lost drinking soy boy sauce Thinking, how I paid the cost? And I’m still not a boss The system ain’t fair dumb bitch is you vision impaired? Is it ambition in ya heart or you just living in fear? Some niggas live in Wonderland thinking it’s sweet Stuck in a desert in quicksand shifting they feet Staring at all this chicken wishing they eat The zero sum game, ain’t enough fish in the creek Preach, I could have been a pastor at church An old dirty bastard, watch the master at work Freedom from what? Is there’s really a choice on this earth? You playing for the oppressor that’s a spoiler alert These scar beautiful I wear em proudly on my skin Good deeds a rebalance the scale Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins These scar beautiful I wear em proudly on my skin Good deeds a rebalance the scale Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins

Asylum 02:50
As my habitat changes to passive ass neighbors I got more time to contemplate What’ll make my raps famous Tapping my metabolism, conscious of my mortality Time is ticking on the clock Pointless to move backwardly Enemies were neutralized Removed the beef out of my diet Ran up the accolades in my bio Blocked bad vibes like Adebayo This whole world is biased, it’s hard to get fair shake If u ain’t paying people off, it’s hard to get a fair break Criticized for what I dare say Even though it’s blatant truth They rather buy a fantasy and entertain Rather than slay the goose We play the game we choose My camouflage can never blend in If I notice shit is one sided I rather end the friendship Had a dirty slate, so I cleansed it Money I spent it With my instinct I live it, your Instagram stories is scripted Not authentic that’s why I skipped it They selling us a gimmick I ain’t tripping shut the fuck up You can only learn when you listen Disrespect is only tolerated in small doses I'm older now but if you push the envelope I’ll have to ghost y’a It be your friends that try to use you More than any stranger And take avantage of ya kindness That devilish behavior Only takes two to disagree don’t need a doctorate degree To spot hypocrisy shit is obsolete just like monogamy I hear the gossip, the word always gets back to me No longer shocked cause my conscious anchored to reality Live happily ok... Whatever you say Once you show your vices They’ll provide you with whatever you crave So what’s you poison? Sex drugs, alcohol or power? They’ll condense all your needs and grind it in a powder That’s why I try to focus my lens wider Cause when the pressure hits Most of them will clam up like a chowder And it’s Chow, that’s bye bye in Italian Motherfuckers lose they mind Slide up in the asylum

Padded cashmere walls, atmosphere warm Last year was sickness, this year I bring the cure The world out there is bigger, you heard em say it’s yours Got myself out of a shithole my struggle same as yours Abnormal humans, hormones is moving My scorecard is loco so let’s forgo the rumors Slow roast the meal, slow mo maneuvers Morse code reveals no need to showboat to students Ocean is Indian fishing trips with pops Feels like so long ago, and im missing a lot Caught a big fish, it fed the family for days Time destroys everything happiness is erased Creating other moments processing it like grow ups We ain’t just listened we implemented what they showed us Surviving despite the odds where they advocate death The mind and soul well protected like Fabrege eggs From now to forseeable the future … Living proof I’m a speak that truth Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce From now to forseeable the future … Living proof I’m a speak that truth Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce Flowers for the winners we get flowers in the winter Under the Aurora Borealis where the clouds shimmer I don’t clout chase, I just lounge at the lake Was told they found the fountain of youth From the sound of my face I sow seeds to try to find peace but it’s hard Introduced to the game, got knee deep in the part Since the pandemic hit, people leaving they jobs Sparks hit em like they got an epiphany from a god The truth ain’t far, often right under your nose Designer geared up still looking silly under ya clothes I'm saying, ain’t no lying when the souls naked I don’t expect nothing back when I bestow favors I created space Relaxing in my own oasis a tab of acid Crafted my own mosaic And it gets no more sacred Then when you savor your fruits, amazing jewels From now to forseeable the future … Living proof I’m a speak that truth Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce From now to forseeable the future … Living proof I’m a speak that truth Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce

Stress 03:00
The means justify the ends, Used to dream of driving of benzes The road to the top leads to beef Drama ruins friendships Success is the incentive, I ain’t invent the system Survival of the fittest Fuck the bullshit we intend to win it Alcoholic binges, all events is an aventure Might not remember I apologize if I offend ya Speak with the proper tenor, high percentage shooter Whether 5 percenter Buddhist Muslim Punching the air like Cuba Goodin In that movie scene, scrolling through some Sufi memes And show and prove on every new release Married to the streets Cherry pick through beats watching every flick Health is everything the city noise and stress is deafening Still we wrestle with, what we need and how to get it Whether to push or let it go and Not sweat it like a plyometric Where’s the lie? Feel like everybody vying for my attention We went from paying together to buying seperate In this world we live in Stress be what be aging you fastest chasing stacks backwards The snakes and backstabbers Smoke and mirrors like the scene in Last Dragon I'm making moves for the bag spazzing On wax…I'm known for breaking postures like back spasms Sometimes I need to fall back, then I get right back at it How many cats have been gassed? Turn around and caught lacking Feel like I’m speaking pig latin, motherfuckers don’t get it Building up my arsenal to back me like my home British I don’t even know when I’m stressed I grind in autopilot Unity’s rare in this game motherfuckers all divided I sowed seeds throughout the spring and my trees sprouted Hit a dead end rerouted even squeezed a G out it Tension headaches clenching My jaw at night mental head space Is dense, I had to drop the dead weight, to get to the check mate More money mo problems when it’s all set and done I rather be flooded with funds than to have none On this planet earth
