You don’t know what to expect but the /
best when I step on a project, no rest /
for the weary if you try to play me to the side /
Alabama bred no surprise that I ride /
tryna get this bread it’s no wonder that I rise /
Perception’s a killer it’s no wonder in your eyes I seem /
.like a nuclear reactor passing by, I’m so /
eager to blow up on every passerby that seem /
...so enamored with my life /
.I had to live out parts in the public eye from a /
homie going behind my back to get at my ex and then /
bouncing from my side when I discovered the lie to a /
.bitter ex blackin’ on this twitter site cuz she /
thought that I was sexin’ someone else on the side to uh /
.that relationship built from that lie having a /
shallow foundation and ruining my drive it’s /
.gotta be God..how am I still here /
shot at by cops bullets whizzed by my right ear /
saw a homie shot at a kickback and shed tears /
so you got me twisted to think I'm living in fear /
...you don’t know what the hell I had to /
do to even get near success, you don’t even know the /
stress, you don’t know how much I put in all of this, you don’t /
even know the half of the [edit], and you disrespect /
sayin’ that I just rap to rap, i can see why /
legends get on tracks just to snap, I can see why /
rappers don’t cut bloggers any slack, you must’ve wanted /
to be in their slacks and somehow couldn’t adapt, /
matter fact I ain’t even tryna act like I got respect for /
most of these [edit] writin’ reviews for a check /
click ya link and spot typos like there ain’t an app for that /
like that red squiggly line’s there just for snacks... /
.have some pride about your content, copy/paste /
flows always sound so redundant I been at this /
writing thing for years in abundance and I got /
receipts i can pull on request that’s a bet I’m just /
...workin’ on my problems more or less, here’s a /
gesture that’ll maybe earn your respect cuz it /
burns to even open up like this, maybe /
I should’ve bought me an urn in retrospect I’m just… /
...I’m just over here watching the game change /
Tellin’ me to get noticed I need my name changed /
My family gave me the title so I’ll maintain /
so y’all can gangbang, I’mma claim king, blame the /
mainframe for [edit] rappin’ just to claim dames /
that’ll ditch them quicker than a lane change lames want the /
fame... and I just want respect and I’m set /
so I cook my own tracks, bruh I chef with the best...

Been killin’ *mikes on these LPs, that ain’t a reach but if /
this don’t pop soon, I might have to run those jewels, nah I’m /
off of that, tryin’ to get these ideas out but looks like ain’t no /
award for that, don’t bring negative energy around me there’s the /
door in fact, don’t let the doorknob hit you where your partner prolly /
bends and splits ya it’s a misdemeanor for eager emcees just to step up /
next up ain’t no tellin’ I’m chillin’ plottin like villains when blue /
printing village takeovers best to hide all the children (why) cuz...
Hook
I been in the crib with my phone off /
I been in the house ain't takin' no calls /
I got a stride, check out my wrist motion /
Chef (x3)
V2
I got a couple of lines off top, I got a /
couple of things to get off, I got a /
couple of rhymes to let off, if you got a /
problem with that then you can get syndicated with /
cable TV (get Lost), slide on the /
sharpest edges of those rocks, MK /
pit for the ones that fell off, Tony /
Stewart with drive won’t let off, said that /
earlier though so here I go in this studio /
locked in in more ways than one, see I’m just /
tryin to get these ideas out quickly before /
God says I’m done, so I put the /
phone out when I zone out then I write a couple /
concepts with bars to dumb out then I do a couple /
quick takes to get the songs out and it’s easy as /
pie for me to knock it all out, no doubt...
V3
I’m double dutchin’ all on the subject it’s nothin really /
for me to say I deserve to be in this ol discussion /
of rappers that’s unknown but up and comin and really bussin /
over dope production with no fear of the repercussions /
who gonna touch him, don’t try in public might catch a concussion /
lyrical strength of a king yet he is so southern don’t rush him /
nappy rooted origins on the flow, some things just /
gotta process on the low, so let me go because....

Ain’t a diss to anyone… and I pray that people /
see that i ain’t tryna start beef in any way cuz that’s all /
played out, but if we crashin’ with titans realize I’m /
beast on the beat, this is life to a Lycan it’s light /
I ain’t no stranger to the drama neither, I’m tryna /
leave that all behind with the rest of all the bottom-feeders /
Too many people need me, so I ain’t bout to be that /
dude that responds to every single thing i see cuz see that’s /
old news, even though it’s so easy for me to boot up /
pro tools and give you exactly what you askin’ for /
and it’d be so cool, but see my destiny’s a /
bit bigger than the stupid things in my way, so I’ll just /
slowly back away with my hand on the trigger but don’t /
come at me again or else you might not live ta, tell the /
tale cuz after all the South raised me, and I ain’t quite the /
type to let your stupid words faze me, I’m the type of /
(edit) that’ll let you think it’s dead then resurrect the whole /
feud just to prove that I meant what I said when I /
said I’d destroy your whole planet boy I planned it damage /
anyone that tries to push my hand, and I put that there on everything...

Based in Alabama for now, but feel free to check out the
