[Intro]
Tall.. Tales (2x)
Uh, yeah
[Verse 1]
You notice this occurrence is becomin' a reoccurrence?
Normal sh** for him though, been speakin' with purpose
With no help, tryna reach that Scorsese wealth
And we just Goodfellas, 'bout to make a name for our self
It's Tall Tales for these wanna-bes and make believers
Who don't wanna see Leave It To Beaver, be the achiever
I started this, goin' all 9 won't need a reliever
Surrounded by soldiers and I was chosen as the leader
You can't out scheme a schemer, can't out dream a dreamer
I keep it hidden, but I got a braggadocio demeanor
Yeah, I've been humble just tryna prove a point lately
The voice of the city that's word to Bob Lamey
Life at a cross road, still reppin' the crossroads
I know where I wanna be, it's just findin' the route to go
On some Mcconaughey, yeah that Failure To Launch
That's the hardest part about it, I've kept positive thoughts
Been sayin' it for too long, Too many people to prove wrong
Feel like I'm startin' to belong, And music's life long
Lotta hard work put in, Gotta do it for Pops
This all started in his garage like Woz and Jobs
Uh, talk amongst their self, never seem to bring my name up
Why? Cause the way I came up, or how I got my game up?
And not one of you has even improved since the start
Play your part, you lack the heart to make art
That's what sets me apart
[Hook]
On the road to success, they just wanna see me fail
I've stayed the same me, why ya'll tellin' Tall Tales (2x)
[Verse 2]
Gotta tell 'em straight up, No chaser
That's Bad News, bu*termaker
Feel like lately life been goin' backwards, No racer
It's just makes me greater
Cause I know this will all pay off
Man, I'm cool with the talkin', I just walk it, Come watch Jay Walk
Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, keep things to my Bill Self
I just let my craft and lyrics talk for them self
Say it, then people stare like Braco
Weighs deep, bars need a dolly though
Picture perfect, Salvador Dali flow
Every single beat, Holy Spirit, Rest In Peace
Steadily, Readily, Remained on my feet
That's what it takes, tough skins a necessity
It's all about longevity, man to build a legacy
Huey sh**, when I pop, have it on lock when I drop it
Lately it's been like a curse, been hard for me to stop it
But, that just lets me know that this is really destined
Unexpected, have to respect the message that I'm projectin'
Ah, Get it crackin' man, Verses I be fracturin'
Rack em up, still kickin' it, feel like Neil Rackers man
Been doin' this, Kuklinski yeah, I'm k**in' 'em
Everything on my wish-list soon I'll be fulfillin' 'em
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
This all that matters to me
Try writin' me off
You can't write someone off
When they keep gettin' the writings off
Know the writing is raw
Been writing my wrongs
Gotta improve myself then comes the improvement in songs
Yeah, so much built up, lotta things in store
Indiana State man, I just been gettin' Sicka' More (Sycamore)
No lie, I'm back at it
Back to spittin' automatic
Call it 'Brack-matic'
Ya'll too dramatic
I'm too enigmatic
For them, and way too busy on my own sh**
Close to the goal, stayin' Red Zoned In
And anybody in the way, Ima overthrow them
Only one showin' growth and
Nobody's this devoted
Now, the only way we'll cross is at the top, No Steeple
Had to get this off my chest, drop some lines for the people
The real listeners
Ones who really hear what I'm sayin'
Those who I do it for, Buffy Slayin', I'm done playin'
With ya'll, Tall.. Tales
Yeah
