lyrics

Eatin gardettos in velour sweats,
more money, more jealous, more stressed
Never thought about having more, less
More less,
In the Background high as Falsetto in a quartet
Ugh,
Stop drinking but im still turnt
Stop smoking cause of asthma
but i still blow a smoke screen, lowkey but i been worse
Lost sm demons but they still lurk
when the motivation ends thats the real work

A slave to my habits, i know how the Field Work,
I put in work in my field,
And then My purpose revealed,
Yeah they Aimed for my name but all the Dirt hit my shield,
I watched it Ricochet,
Waging war til I’m blackballed, I’m Blackhawk
Me n my queen riding like Crazy Horse and Black Shawl
U either rebelling or assisting the system, ghostdancing long as Peltiers sitting in Prison

Lineage split w victims of history - the privileged
The Pillers - the pillaged
immigrants - indigenous im mixin traditions
Sitting Bull’s spirit risen to Visit my visions
Big Difference between gettin rich and enrichment
Trynna find Upwards on My compass
Went to war they sounded live trumpets upon my return triumphant
In touch w my roots,
Tug at this noose, like it's Comfortable loose
Pennin Venom From a Recluse
Threw up V for Victory, chuckin a duece
N pulled the Colt Peacemaker tucked in my boots
Cock the hammer back w my thumb n It shoots
Warned em once, he refused
this chip on my shoulder blade weighs too much on my glutes...

Ignore the bolts Poking from my neck,
Paint em gold n stay focused on a check
Writing all these goals down
Copin w the stress n these ghosts up in my head
Roamin free, let em be, they not posin any threat

Got Addicted to the praise, feel they owe me the respect,
Addicted to the love, like the moment that we met
Got addicted to attention then they showed me the connect
Watchin celebs overdosin had a sobering effect on me

Remember back when we laughed at rules
N Ran around like Bebe’s kids acting bad at school
Way Before we packed that tool,
Now Homies Pouring liquor out trynna see the Glass half full


WE just Keep em entertained so the world cant revolt
I shot the sheriff w a pearl handled Colt
Earl Manigult- THE GOAT, aint a feelin that the verse cant evoke,
Just got my word and my Kult

This little thing of ours,
Boom bada bing,
Blue collar dreams
Me n my brothers bout our chicken like Gustavo fring

Coupe- olive green
Sports are the new coliseum
Im Chewin licorice root Thumbin thru the I ching,
Opportunity knock n my Call of duty might ring
A Wandering samurai like the Book of 5 rings

“Think deeply of the world and lightly of yourself”
Time is money got me out here tightening my belt
what I write is what I felt

Take the Rifle from the shelf
Me n God got a pact, she give me Life- I give em hell i took a blood oath
Blood soaked, pops did a seance in the 80s n seen the devil up close, now u sitting front row

Liquor n drugs, liquor n drugs
Watchin artists droppin like flies is killin my buzz
I aint innocent, not in a position to judge
Did everything frm Molly Ringwald to hilary duff

The way we glorify shit that’s killin us but
Boast when we survive it shows shows the resilience in us ]
Well...excuse us for not giving a fuck, the industry sucks
Labels treating rappers like Dinner for Schmucks
An Idiocracy, mediocrity,
keep gamblin til they punch my ticket like i hit the lottery


Anybody can get it, I aint w inequality
But I been evolvin trynna show a different side of me
That's why I Treat my catalog like them pigs robbin me
Destroy the evidence liike they did my Missing property

I grew up listening to rap music
My mom loved rock n roll - we both listening to black music
Won’t Pretend that it aint
Showing respect as a Guest in it, wont threaten my place
No Chuck Berry- no Elvis legacy paved
A Hound dog like Big Mama Thornton may she rests in her grave
You can love chinese food and even have the recipe great
still Chinese food end of the day, im sayin

I grew up listening to black music
The dude w a white russian like Rasputin n Vlad putin
Duke Nukem- Im back shootin, the Hands movin like Zab Judah
Half goat- like Krampus & half human
Just trynna live my truth like the trans movement
n stand by my fam like Dwayne wade n Gab Union

Prolly catch a lot of hate, dressed fresh to death, made funeral plans n im Fashionably late
Every 20 yrs fashion comes back around so
Assume im living in the future if my outfit’s out of date
This The planet of the apes
throwin monkey wrenches, blow em like candles in the wind, cant hold a candle to the great

Id catch a case for Chase like I Plan to rob a bank
Gotta Watch my back they always sabotage the greats
Who to trust...
Serpents in the grass could not escape, I made snake skin boots, lie in camouflage n wait
Wanna Battle? lock the date
A day And a dollar late
Swear they Had a lot to say, til its brandished off waist
I'm just Weighin options out...
like back when them packs had a lot of shake - that’s a catatonic state

Allergic to being broke need my Pockets to swell
Ride til i say hello from the Otherside like Adele
Cold blooded- tears like ice when it melt,
A lot of shit on my mind as u can probably tell

They victim blame, see a suicide then tweet about mental health
Like heres a # to a hotline if it helps
Well Harvey Weinstein’s rapist, Cosby as well
We can debate who's worse when they both rottin in Hell
A lot of yall know somebody that won't confide in u cause you’d shame em for surviving things u couldnt conquer yourselves

Tired of biting my tongue, its time we begun,
12yrs old a grown man threatened my Life w a gun,
flashback to seein pops sayin hes not gonna run,
Can't outrun a bullet - a mantra passed father to son

Got Addicted to the praise, feel they owe me the respect,
Addicted to the love, like the moment that we met
Got addicted to attention then they showed me the connect
Watchin celebs overdosin like damn...


How id feel about myself if i wasnt about myself
I’d climb up out myself n never doubt myself
Never doubt yourself or the power of belief
A seed that turned into a root that sprouted to a tree
I be a weed amongst the flowers, a flower surrounded by weeds
My power surrounded by peace
My smith n wesson piece full of gun powder underneath me for the 6 or 7 hours i sleep
A thousand cowards deceased
By a thousand deaths a piece...
Alpha wolf howlin at the moon, stomach growlin for relief
A pound of flesh on my scale, balanced like the beam
The beam on the 40 calibre, Excalibur- im king
