[Verse 1] It's like K-E-M-P But the names are frivolous The Girlies half naked And the knights Ain't chivalrous And most nights they Trying But the guy ain't Into it He leave'm cold and frozen Like a naked inuit Sinuous The lines never brake straight Triangulate the flows Put the typos on mixtapes We rejects Not talking tapes outta BX Just talking Ain't nobody tryna hit play Or reset The RX Cooking like Pyrex Sailing on some Bad Brains Eyepatches like pirates The iris No I never see bloodshots And I'll murder any MC Check my ties for blood spots [Hook] Yeah My insecurities They Leave me ill at ease And I'm begging please Just one more chance Relax, try tah find the peace [Verse 2] Snap Judgements They all see us in frames And if we ever brake out They tell us we'll never change So keep smoking Drain the liquor bottle holding The Hope in hoping Something new might open But no God never seems to give us brakes So why should we keep trying And trying Until we break It's fate Crappy hands But I ain't gambling Just ambling Wishing steps brought me more than some ambien Knees on the ground scrambling Sufficient words but ain't no understandin Man Plans foiled Ain't no crowns for 3 and out And no crowds sticking around If you can't seem close it out Relief I hear it's part of my blood But Daddy never seems to call or Ask me whats good? So what's the point? Guess I'm just unarticulate Gotta blaze my own path Through the thin and thick of it And I'm gone [Hook] [Verse 3] Verse 3 Can I kick it Like A tribe called quest does? Can I understand my roots Like my name was questlove Moms keeps praying And Dad keeps saving All the little bits and pieces Of whatever I'm relaying And I see where they're At and ask myself Can I have that Can I get mad handclaps A daughter on a mission And a son who write bad raps? Be more than a bad act Modest home with a wife Who looks past the fact That I've been doing some bad math Probably later than sooner Fawning over bars Like norman fans Over sooners Probably be over sooner But I'm enjoying the ride Wish it was less turbulent But you gotta take it in stride Right? So I'll just be keeping them private Rather be knee deep in life Then On auto pilot Kemp [Hook x2]
