[Sample:]
Why don't you put some f**in drums in the music?
[Hook: X2]
sh** I ain't gon' lie
I write my thoughts down and make those rhyme
You don't like that real sh** that real sh**
Then pay no mind
[Verse 1:]
I'm what it is
Combined with what it could be
On the edge take a flight if you push me
In the end where the fight over good things
Prefer d**h over life as a p**y
Throw em on they heads
More than they know
That mean I'm only mine and it tortures they soul
Had to leave to Portland to grow
Saw the same caught a plane
And landed just short of my goals
It ain't no performin at shows
Looking forward to hoes backstage
Wit a quarter to blow
More like me and shorty don't go
It's important to know
Your favorite artists are corporately owned
Bet they ignored us at first
Shot us down
And companies wanna come and jump in now
Benefit from our circumstances
Market us
Turn around and put us on trial
f** them cut it out
They hustlin us they runnin out
Rap makes cash for they campaign ads
They run at us
We run our mouth
They run the biz
We run it round
Run the game
They run the town
We run in place
So i make my own lane
If they get in my way
Imma run them down
Run them down
[Hook:]
So please forgive me for my worldly ways
I do my dirt to dig myself up out this early grave
And brush my shoulders off
Like please no i prefer to stay
I light it up and see myself inside that burning flame
So please forgive me for my worldly ways
[Bridge:]
"The past can be renounced but not destroyed"
I brush my shoulders off
"it rebuilds itself almost unconsciously"
Light it up
"I remember their sin no more"
Burning flame
[Verse 2:]
My lifetime is war-torn
Scars show
Fine wine (import one?)
I was told
A wise man
Explores (nourish?)
All right fine
Throw a lifeline
Why should my grind support yours
"why don't you put some f**in' drums in the music"
All right fine
Why shouldn't my grind support yours
We need
Somethin to believe in
Hustle for a reason
Don't repeat the cycle that we stuck in on the street
No it ain't enough until enough of us are dreamin
Don't support mine
Unless it's somethin you believe in
Don't support his
Unless it's somethin you believe in
Only rock for it
If you love it
Then you mean it
Just hustle where i lead em
Business of women
I don't f** em and just leave em
Believe me
Leadin ain't easy
You gon get more sh** then you give
And take on others weaknesses
Believe me I seen it
I'm exactly where I need to be
Peep it
Where you find me you can leave me
Searching for peace
Kinda like graffiti
Where they (pollyin?) and beefin'
Hollerin' and screamin'
Y'all seem to remind me
Of them politicians schemin
All that b**hing on the scene
So I'm piloting the region
(fly it in the wing?)
Wit a drone spot (pilot?)
When it's flyin over eden
Pardon what I mean
Is the garden that I be in
With my partner
Trimmin' in the mornin'
Guard it in the evenin'
Think about the karma that I'm bringing outta
An audience can see
That I'm heartless on a beat
Not even part of it is beatin
Marketing an artist
Harboring a demon
A monster with a conscience
So I'm constantly thinkin'
[Hook:]
[Hook 2:]
So please forgive em for they worldly ways
They grab that shovel
Do that dirt and dig that early grave
They brush they shoulders off
But it seems that all the dirt has stayed
They think they hot don't they
Now watch em burn in flames
