[Verse 1]
Time lapse, his eyes poking open
A bowl in the morning to get the mind going
His mind going blank as his girl getting off
He out the door now, he walks as Push talk
Woo!, I put numbers on the boards
Headbob, the nod, the pro-tem coke lord
But, of course, I'm stuck in a course
So I'm pullin' out a paper to write this verse on
(Ooh k** 'em) Wrote my best rap ever
I name dropped Kendrick, took control of his method
But, after cla**, I lost my little ego
Cause imitating artists just ain't my cup of tea, though
So, I scrap it, a 3-point basket
I'm back in the lab, I rap straight acid
But I'm salty, I'm basic
The hook is the draw, we might as well play it
[Hook]
Yo, I know I know better
Something on your nose, bro, you know better
Something on your mind, my eyes on the letters
Bruh, you oughta know, you grown but no better
Yea, I know I know better
The goals I blow, still know where I left 'em
You hot, but I'm cold, tanktops and the sweaters
Bruh, you oughta know, you grown but no better
[Verse 2]
Right around 4 and I'm thinking through my options
Cop a double from Mick, light a Bic at 4:20
Or attend cla** and a**ume I'll bust a**
And maybe make it out with that D+ at best
But, who gives, I'm down to fail out
Drop out of college, gold rush and I'm west bound
And I pound on the gas as I pa** through Nash
And crash on I40-south with a gun in the mouth
Well, I probably know better
In fact, I definitely know better
And I'm telling myself why it wouldn't work out
What happens to a burnout, the 9 to 5 forever?
God, this façade, acting like we care at all
Thinking through bars but I'm tired of this song
And I'm lost, tick tock and it's six o'clock and dark
I made it through the day, huh, never woulda thought
[Hook]
[Bridge]
You no better x4
Yeah x3
[Verse 3]
Excite your soul, CytoSoul going off
These bars of hard top notch but no cost
It's just hip-hop can hit my right spot
Another white kid goin' off his rock
So, we down like his eyelids
The spark is like lightning, the fire, some ricin
The durban, the spices, the herbs and the fight is
The same as I come, see the same as I'm dying, yup
[Outro]
