LYRICS:
Everybody distracted
Phone thugging
In person the energy of a bitch
Killer when tapping glass but never bite down on a shard
And caught a cavity eating up all them industry bars
So stay the fuck out the kitchen if you don't know what you doing
Off the apron
You burning
Your spirit cooking like Jay
Z not the end but beginning
Like as above so below
Can't make sense of this recipe
Stay the fuck off the stove
Master chef when I'm based
The opposite of lil b
They tryna teach us that gay is the only way to succeed
No homo
Weak minded thoughts of the Neanderthals blending with the coarse
And adding corps to indigenous graveyards
And watching our faith fall
with the angels that walk of light
With intentions that stay dark
Stay sharp
Ball point
Through the page if you bear the weight of my pen
No t grizzly
But breakings bars like my first day out
Like what sense it make to be in a jumpsuit walking round?
Everything backwards here
So if you have no fear this war forever
So ain't no fucking quitting nigga pull yourself together to combine into a higher cause
and help humanity evolve
consciousness gone rise and fall until we leave this plain in full capacity
Don't be attached to entity that consealed us in vessels
Phoning home to the body that has no shape or perception
You start off lil like Jr
But know you'll never be second
I think ahead to secure your future
no second guessing as if my own
Don't matter
Bond gone be strong
No wages offered will stop me from financing your heart
And know your mother will be straight cause she been there from the start
We hella chill
Don't get it twisted
This is just a rare form
Cause we both come from a city that'll make you transform
I adore not getting shot when I visit the cornerstore
Still intact
Rare form
so
me and you
yo mamma and yo cousin too
gotta cut the grass cut low
know them serpents got they eye on ya soul
