[Phenom/C-Mugga:]
Nocturnal, feel as if I ain't slept in days
n***a, need my blessings paid
All alone, but I don't worry when tha threats is gave
Waitin' for tha stress to fade
Shine a lil' light, and I'ma probably turn tha rest to shade
A free man, n***a, sorta like a reckless slave
And I “think straight”, without a care if all tha rest is gay
Same bad habits, causin' re-ocurring escapades
Lil' like a reckless rage, me and tha pain go our separate ways
Road to redemption? I think I need directions made
Teachin' n***as lessons, they in 2nd grade
Now woe is me
Sick of spittin' all this poetry
Tha realest here, u kno it's me
But underground, tha lowest key
U say he hot, I stole his glee
Don't gotta blow a tree
Cry me a river, and tell me if u can flow with me
Take a better look, and everybody gonna notice me
Or so to speak
Ya boy focused
Call me tha rap Moses
In a world rendered hopeless
Bitter thoughts, I cope with
I never fall off, I stay afloat
Give a wide berth to tha gay approach
Carry baggage, like a layered coat
Make these n***as stutter twice
‘Cause they ain't sharp, they bu*ter knife
"Go hard" like spray starch, it's tha trademark
Even in tha light, know I gotta keep tha shades dark
“You know I got soul”? Just call me a brave heart
Wanna kno can I receive tha storm in another form?
Can I get enough to keep my mother warm?
Got my head on straight, I ain't nothin' like tha Exorcist
Never said I was best at this, feelin' like a pessimist

[Phenom/C-Mugga:]
All tha pain, I try to summarize
Hopin' by tha summer I'd
Murder everything, be reminiscence to a samurai
Beginner's luck? More like a rookies' excellence
Endured ridicule, surrendered to tha downgrades
Nowadays, when I stroll, nobody utters a sound wave
With they minds polluted, they succumb to it
List of tha real, I thumb through it
For me, tha fakers is off-limits
I deal with tha boss vintage
Alert, & exhaust “winners”
n***as retort weak, with indifference
Ignorance is bliss, but everybody wanna give in
Dethrone n***as, bring in all my kings' men
Can u see me now? n***a, better put ya lens in
My calling, finally found it
Got all tha critics astounded
Another black poet, I'm stubborn, I rap stoic
Tha game needs change, & I'm feelin' like I owe it
Turn it all around, have me actin' so heroic
A lotta rap n***as are retarded, ‘cause they really are tha “slowest”
Many n***as nag much, refer to them as Lois
Tha world is still a seed, time to water, plant, & grow it
Tha money outta reach, tryna get a grip
I gotta ball, its tha only way to catapult
They dethroned, we tha true heirs
What do you wear?
n***as softer than Pooh Bear
Surrounded by s**, d**, guns, and chaos
But will it pay off?
Will I ever live in comfort?
Or maybe end up bein' done for?
n***as dodgin' 5-0, well, bravo
All tha producers, they aware of how to bid
So tell me we ain't talented
Definin' what a novice is
