[Hook x2] Up against Goliath, to bring bu*ter home I'm David on pavement, sling another stone [Verse 1: Ka] The gifted narrator Gunmetal gray rhymes, your scripts is lavender Poor all my life, but rich in character Wise civilized, don't make me flip to savage ya The proven wizard that move deliberate Way of tools exhibit the rules are rigid Reside and abide, or lose your gizzards Block hot and hearts cold from heat waves through the blizzards I'm from Grief Pedigree where they beef heavily And tag the walls, thinking that was at least legacy Even when removed from the block, I'm streets mentally And shown it, for every good moment it's bleak memory Never had weak tendency, from the heat emba**y Did it malignant, now I seek remedy Played in the lots with weeds and rocks And couldn't rest my knot cause n***as squeezing shots Took on winters in goose downs and long johns Lifting them four-fifths, I got strong arms [Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Ka] From the hardest forest, no fangs and claws Slanging wars, we large and garbage n***as banging for us Pressing labor with the razor, it gave me finger sores Camouflaged behind large rings that bring in broads Never was a boss, or part of the dons But did settle mid-level, I'm sergeant-at-arms Guns since young's how I guarded my moms Parade with .380 Davis, y'all march with batons Some feel sick, did real sh** to live fantasy When n***as serve stems, to those in their family tree Trying to get it where it's at: air, land, and sea Get nabbed, judge don't budge to show amnesty The hammer's key. If you stack notes from packed coke Don't get aired out, can't ball when you flat broke All that white powder was touted as Black hope I spoke, asked fiends that rate it, they say "that's dope" Not kids in church, we did dirt like we lacked soap Still not trying to get soaked with the Mac scope [Hook x2]
