lyrics

Up in the studio serving up and moving dope
Make these lames fadeaway like Patrick Ewing in the post
I do the most stayed quiet while the music spoke
Tried to disrespect the culture you know where the truth is though
Every match a mismatch while they try to piggy back
This is billy bad ass like I’m bringing Pac and Biggie back
I’m really that travel from Jersey up to Philly back
real hair, DJ, one mic, no silly tats
Hiring consulting firms to find where his Achilles at
This that gritty city committee not the pretty rap
Hard knock diplomas that’ll help you thru ya darkest moments
Not for the dumb def and blind / this for the smart and focused
For the chosen selected when Noah’s Ark approaches
So confident seen Pandora’s box and propped it open
Just to spar demons carpe Diem with my scarf squeezed around they neck until they stop breathing you can see it
Im D’artagnan with the heart of a champion
For too long, I was caught at the bottom inside a dark canyon
The dark side of the star spangled where stars vanish
Living under sub-par standards and hard to manage
Some lose it start to panic alcohol and drugs to escape
Only to wake up fucked up and stuck in one place
Like my dude money Kyle good dude million dollar smile
Abandoned by his parents as a youth was acting wild
Juvenile detention type looking for attention like
Only way he knew how to get it was getting bent and fight
Starting reading the Coran to get his mind right
But They still felt something was off with him that night
Acting all erratic pushing up on these girls
Snapping on these bartenders next minute he would earl
They tried to hold him up brushed me off and jetted out
Pissy drunk speeding, heading for his ex's house
Nobody answered the doors and so he broke it in
He saw her naked getting fucked and rage came over him
He turned into the Hulk and started throwing furniture
Earlier was partying next second turn to murderer
Laying in the blood as the cops rushed him
Didn’t even resist he was numb to the ruckus
See what I’m saying how his life took a turn
You can feed ya ego or ya light which one you prefer ?
Carpe Diem
