Listen, I'm this generation's Christopher Wallace I'm their Shawn Carter A Nasir Jones for those who's missin' their fathers Not an artist who gon' switch to a vlogger A meticulous martyr, music is larger But it's missin' nostalgia Bringing that feeling back, flipping the Karma for those addicted to trauma I flow as vicious as Dahmer My soul's been dipped in the armor I'm known for flippin' entendres You should listen to Sandra, I'm so much More than these pricks in this genre You crossin' over, get stripped by some mambas We three indigenous monsters Evil as Reagan with some bricks from the Contras Life is a blessin', let's stick to this mantra My rеnditions'll haunt ya, thinkin' out Loud got you missin' your sponsors Your freest thoughts is worth your weight in gold We was nevеr free to think Was taught to take the safest road When they oppose, save your soul You might have to drive but can't even pay the tolls That pain is old, it won't go away So we got some ways to go Yeah, every verse I've been killin' 'em all Sinister thoughts When you gotta play this game you Love with no feelings involved Say they droppin' jewels, that same Shit from the middle of malls By the time you find your heroes, fake it No villains to call Too many flows, no ceilings or walls Try to box me in, I'm Ray Leonard with bars Sketchy niggas get erased I never needed a pencil to draw Tryna compare us, go bare Dribbling balls with Lillard or Paul I see a thread, it can't stitch to this cloth We cut different like scissors for gauze Had me marked for death, now understand I'm hard to kill but ain't Mr. Seagal Can't front 'cause some situations came Close but ain't lit the cigars They'll show you hate once your skill has evolved Know it's a lot but shit you gotta turn Your back on them pillars of salt Fight for your people, they feel it's assault I'm done stressin' with tryin' to guess If they feel us at all Growin' up my mama told me to smile more My style raw Only provided dope shit and not an ounce more I'm Al Gore, deal with all my vices I done found flaws Astound frauds, let them get a whiff Of these profound thoughts Wicked when I sound off, the mission Wasn't vicious 'til I found cause Sadistic with these wishes like I'm Falcone The kismet isn't miles gone In fact it's at my fingertips And when it's time to answer for my wrongs I ain't gon' plead the fifth I ain't gon' take the scenic strip, I'm attackin' it head on It's a fact that I'm well off tryna proceed with grit Gradually procedures stick Happily my dreams ain't never need a switch A vivid masterpiece is what my schemes emit Only rock with legends like I'm Stevie, Prince, Jackson If he had to ask what happened, I'd just leave him bent If you need me on your team, shit, that's an easy pick My fleet equipped, we settin' rooms on fire like Stevie Nicks
