[Verse 1: Granderson]
You know that I run with the Lord and the devil got me speaking in tongues
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder so fast that I'm skipping the rungs
And my mouth is hung open hoping
That I won't have to counterfeit tokens
And one day I'll be revered as author JRR Tolkien
Cuz you know the game always switching thrones
But I got aerial view from my radar drone
Knowing my features will one day be overblown
Knowing overexposure is bound to prone
Any real n***a to the root of the fault line
All relationships are built off borrowed time
You know we brush off tomorrow's crime
To build unity and for once let off the steam and unwind
Reptile, cold-blooded, but still hard spined
As im beginning to reach true potential and thinking hypothetically
I'm wondering if my brother will end taking me down just like Eteocles
Cause Cash Money blowing up from the inside meticulously
And we're all subject to ridicule, and jesters are playing the part of your average fool
Liquor lockers liken to be illiterate for swimming pools
I'm packed in the back by some yaks and a pack mule
Molds overgrowing my systems just stocked with mildew
And if you know me, I'm mild-mannered
But throw me into a debate on the greats and you know n***a I'm wild with the banner *missed lyric* (Out with the bando?)
From your highest canter
Spreading so quick that I Usian Bolt any persons banter
Pa**ing through one ear and got trapped in the other
A flightless bird can inevitably flutter
Two misunderstood teens and one just touched the other
And that's why we got children that 16 and just became a mother
Hee mother 32 and now they both struggling they both flustered
Both frustrated, slipping in quick a bit overrated
Okay I'm lying, using fear tactics
To make sure the youth don't have to drown themselves with beer and taxes
Change feels mola**es
Beer googles making me think I need a few gla**es
Oops, that was contradictory
Let me wash my mouth with Listerine
And a bar of soap, damn now my mouth blistering
Satan did this me, I'm literally speaking in tongues
You may not be understand me, excuse my Latin
But is that linen your sitting in or is it satin?
Is it vigor in your system or is it vision that you're lacking?
Four eyes, staring back in the mirror with the same goals
Same stitches still failing to patch up those vain holes
Don't blame the bowl for the woe in your soul
No don't worry
My senses are heightened but yet heights make the sights blurry
I can't tell if snowy stars mark up the light flurries
Or if hatred is started from slight furies
I might just go ahead and bury my flesh
Maybe it's this true love that's keeping me from my rest
Or maybe it's the fact that I'm still fully dressed
Tryna impress someone who's as far away as printing press
Fate got me tied up and my own uphill climb to the summit wrest
Me from her as I wrestle for my sanity
The results are in, I've gone loco off the vanity
Now I'm waiting for my inevitable calamity
I've got to shanty and I shimmy
Shed the fat off gotta start trimming
Got a double and it's filled to the brim
Every morning I get in tune with the hymns
Let the notes sail, open the veil of the bride
I ride waves like, like how waves subside
Reach means I don't ride, that means I die
Or subdue, friction it rub you up
And gets you all heated
It f**ing pisses me off that my best works got deleted
Resending, error, now I gotta reuse
The line I remember in a different way and I gotta construe
The soupy mess, into a pa**able brew
Like damn n***a, you said all this sh** but you ain't said nothing new
