i’ve seen idols turn to memes
gods turned into pawns
collapsing of regimes
all the statues are gone
i know nothing safe
i know fort knox been empty
i know nothing safe
what you say
i know nothing safe
what you say is
sacred
i know nothing safe
what you say is
sacred
yo i ain’t hiding i aint scared i was terrified
at one point at gun point now he verified
over weed told bro i was very high
said if you think about it chief its like we never die
for real
just not around to the naked eye
but trust
very much alive
the dust
might settle on the west side
her and I eyes locked
as the sun rising
now days really aint too many surprises
I done seen it all
how they subsidize talent for the wrong reasons
blood on the line
yea the dotted line
yea a big fear of mine
how they selling off they soul bring tear to eye
would you sacrifice your soul if it means that your seed can thrive
read between the lines these words of the sky transcribed
before your mind
just be mindful
i’ve seen idols turn to memes
gods turned into pawns
collapsing of regimes
all the statues are gone
i know nothing safe
i know fort knox been empty
i know nothing safe
what you say
i know nothing safe
what you say is
sacred
i know nothing safe
what you say is
sacred
serpent shed it scales but it still slide the same slime
same time u acsend it can drag u down exhaustion
ya energy ciphoned ya lost one knowin' ms hill had warned us
a long talon be hung a long line of faustian bargains I'm not budgin .... & no matter the budget there's no malice upon rather just drop the discussion cuz this mound l'm dyin alone
crash courses all among yea ya tires blown
I been tired it shows
I stopped fryin my cells god prying my cellphone out of my fingers superior nature
I ceased the escapisms l'm safe here
& I can see the prisms in spaces
I hope they sendin you angels as an anchor native tongues missin, my anger kindled anguish dismissive language l'm praying it all ends
heaven on my mind I call dibs
i’ve seen idols turn to memes
gods turned into pawns
collapsing of regimes
all the statues are gone
i know nothing safe
i know fort knox been empty
i know nothing safe
what you say
i know nothing safe
what you say is
sacred
i know nothing safe

can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it
im like the moon
nights pass you see the phases
in monsoon
foot on the gas like im racing
i might crash
shit I crash on daily basis
yall shit not bad just not my taste
and I find a lot of yall shit tasteless
but still I move w grace and pray for them like goodness gracious
god please
teach these niggas how to rap
or at least enlighten them on the time they wasting
can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it
can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it
I watch my hands turn to calcium
And calculate balance as I’m looking for my salvation amalgam
I get my taste from the fountain
Bring some paint
to put my name on the chalice
Running past a memory I wanna challenge can’t fake it
Can’t learn and can’t take it
Can’t move time but wanna make it
Can’t move my eyes from the spaceships
Can’t make the drive with ventilation
Can’t keep my mind from creating
Can’t fight urge to deviate from the basics
Oblongata where I aim with a lesson in breath taking
I can’t pass, till the ash I gotta face it
I can’t grasp, on all that flashes through my brain
My star sign resides with the pavement
The same place I’m a car ride away from
making stains in
I know I need to learn patience but I’m looking for a balance between complacency and peace with my expiration
can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it
can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it
Am I running in place
Can you look me in my face
And tell me the truth
Can you tell me when I’m wrong
You’re my little bit of peace
Spliffs passed on the roof
Moonlit nights
Cereal with the cartoons
Hand me the spoon
But you the big one
Her hand felt my heart
Thump in my chest
Back then my biggest vice
Was flesh
Now it’s getting high
Sitting on the Lord’s steps
Lord help
Me reach and grab the moon
Vert gone
Achilles snapped
But the average never dropped
Every track he slapped
Achilles snapped again
Still score 50
Cause I have to win
With these verbs I bend
Watch him ascend
So look out for the downfall
But I’ll probably never touch
The ground dawg
I’ll never touch the ground dawg
can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it
can’t run away
from the past gotta face it
can’t pass
til the ash I gotta face it

how we keep gettin back here
square one
another page from the book of soul that i tear from
last sound heard before the world ended probably be a dusty ass snare drum
prolly be a angelic flip
of a song you never heard nor cared for before
but most likely
handgun
doom derivative anthems
throw a tantrum
woods and trees in tandem
w da mandem
off in the back of the mansion UAP landing
if it was up to me all you bitches be abandoned
bruh was really a bum pretending to be a bandit
i need to sit yall make me so sick i cant stand it
all this independent
yall should be in panic
AV set a new DIY standard
cant be sittin stagnant
too handsome
i done gave niggas like
a few chances
now yall better off
just shaking hands w him
you don’t wanna dance
the devil dance w me
sticking to the plan all the raps inter planetary
they was just pussy i guess
cause yall was never scary
lotta fake ass gangstas
w a whole catalog of bars thats made up
used to be gang and shit but turned into strangers
turned into the type nigga i can’t hang with
lame shit life comes with gets dangerous
stainless pray god makes this painless
shameless based god way this wave whip
tasteless
they wont understand til you make it
face it
we right back to the basics
how we keep gettin back here
square one
how yall not realize this
they’re done

yo just in case you forgot
you should know i didn’t
I know it must hurt
for you to know I’m winning
i need the roof all missing
I need the coupe all tinted
I need that proof y’all did it
I need recoup my digits
and I’m in pursuit of my vision in the way that i had envisioned it
she parasite in my mind i can not get rid of it
And when im not in ya internet might as well not exist
fenna put this mask on go load and lock this shit
Go out and pop one you niggas the only option given this
scenario
opps gone where they go

Hope all is well tho
I pray all is well (uh)
Nothing hot as hell for me

It’s all plays in it spent the whole day in it riding round taking calls from it gettin paid chillin
Please don’t mind me at all
Had to get up on the track
Showing my a** off
I’m that one n****
That they keeping tabs
And you better not blink
You might miss how I flow
So,
Talk to me nicely
I can hit the booth
And turn this b**** into a crime scene
Aye!
It’s that easy, so please don’t try me
I might f*** around
And have to catch me a body!
You are now in tune
With the lyrical Ali
And he Mos Def
Another Black Starr like Kweli
Imma take this s***
As far as I see
Got me looking at these n*****
Like who gon stop me?

I know it’s not foreign we just going A to B
there used to be neither A or B
but we made a destination baby go and wait for me

HOW I FLOAT
02:56
|
|||
I be in the crib goin thru it
Same shit day to day nun to it
Inhale toxic fluids
Telling all my young niggas you can do it
I ain’t young bullshitted through my youth
Hard to swallow
The truth
Nun but the truth in the music
who my muse
you
Amusing
shoutout to mechanisms abused to cope
And my navy blue polo sports coat
And Oaks
bro said let me show you how i float
& produced some new shit
wide awake these daydreams seem lucid
hide away these ill thoughts intrusive
crosshairs right on top the elusive
shot
& I hit right through it
drop dead
stagnation never felt so alive
never played chess how my chess moves right
Vintage Guess sweater yea guess who’s live
eye to eye easy to guess who’s lying
If I ain’t know this quest was divine I would waste time trying
We alive why waste time crying
fruit of the labor sweet as the grape of the vine I heard ya thoughts through
followed the compass cautiously I thought I lost you
drum breaks over the la-da-da’s and my head bop
I smoke like dem rasta w the dreadlocks
better off dead stock
based on a false story
shots got gory lost his glory
impostors annoy me
lost me
boring
talking without shit to say
how the game get this way
shit’s lame & it’s on display
just let this shit play

we take flight don’t take plane
she aight but got bite
I don’t take pain to well
2 blunts for my last 2 brain cells
too much for you last night we raised hell
post sex smile eyes locked euphoria
you and i got lil secret victoria
moonlit
2 kids exploring love
energy changed we both grown i tore it up
left the whole state said wait for me
said i would but I can’t too patiently
and so you justified in your lil hate for me
but if i make it out I hope you still pray for me
cause we go way back like basically
to the
farthest parts of my memories
know ya
love for me still glimmering
i got
love for you like frenemies
we had lust don’t know bout chemistry
we ran it up then we ran out of energy
and my new shorty showed me what love is
now i know what we had really wasn’t
still turned me to a man I was bugging
had to get it out my head i was running
half heart was in the past and it’s none left
gettin closer to closure by one step
half heart was in the past and it’s none left
gettin closer to closure by one step
we take flight don’t take plane
she aight but got bite
I don’t take pain to well
2 blunts for my last 2 brain cells
too much for you last night we raised hell
we had lust don’t know bout chemistry
we ran it up then we ran out of energy
and my new shorty showed me what love is
now i know what we had really wasn’t
still turned me to a man I was bugging
had to get it out my head i was running
half heart was in the past and it’s none left
gettin closer to closure by one step
gettin closer to
half heart was in the past and it’s none left
gettin closer to closure by one step

I would just look at the moon and walk
i was way to confused to talk
i would just sit on the internet looking at anything for the amusing parts
came across videos stumble on music ain’t notice that i was consuming art
confusing taste
nerdy kid and i grew up in the west
still throwing hands and shit doing my best
i had to plan some shit out and invest
ended up partying check to check
ended up further and harder in debt
ended up lost alone drifting
right at the end there kindled a friendship
dark skin
lil slim thick thing
soon as we locked eyes
both us knew that this was fate
started kicking it every day
noticed that the weather changed
shorty changing everything
turned to a forever thing
one!
