lyrics

Intro:
So we just wanted to talk about a couple things that we’ve seen in the industry.
A couple things that have been on our minds, but you know what it is.
Such and such. Stuff. Random Thoughts.

Verse 1 [Matthew Burton]:
Look, I swear that it was my time, but that would be cordial and caring
Cuz that implies that we have an end, but ain’t nobody sharing
I’m sure there’s a fairy to make your dreams come true
But by the grace of God we reach our goals because we want to
I’ma write you a letter that shows that you’re thinking less
This is a test. What do I mean? Well, you can guess
We make moves like knights in chess. You lose? You tried your best
Your mind’s a mess. I was impressed, but then I turned 15
It was fake and then failed when the game started playing itself
Split screens, or it seemed like cameos
But it’s always been about slamming hoes
or capping foes, copping banging cars and fancy clothes
But that’s all imposed
You know I’m screaming “Lord Knows!” and the Lord shows
If you’re thirsty then I promise that the Lord flows
And what you pour shows
Think what you’re saying is sober?
You rock with Jay-Z and saying you’re praising Jehovah? Nahh.
Boy, I swear that you’ve been misdirected
You’ve been infected, intimate with life but unprotected
Through the salvation the nigga’s been taken unexpected
Only one king and he ain’t gettin un-elected
No more. No more. No more stupid for me
I’m a changed man without all my foolish beliefs
Flag at the North Pole, yeah, I’m cool as can be
I’m on that IcyHot: salvation is truly relief!
Beats. Words. You think you can defeat these nerds?
Boy, I’m sorry that you’ve been deceived
Heat. Work. Yeah, that’s what we bring
Hit the bell at every turn.
We’re letting freedom ring
And freedom sings
I dare you to hear what she’s saying
And we ain’t playing, yeah, they’re crafty with the legislation
Yes, the nation, but that’s commonplace with degradation
And I’d hate to see America a demonstration
And I’d hate to see my cats come up an illustration
But yeah, that’s the consequence of temptation
You need that blood and I ain’t talking about no menstruation

Verse 2 [nosticthepoet]:
Uhh. It's been too long to excuse it
We've praised all the wrong ppl in music
Trash the radio all the songs are stupid
and underground rappers got all the wrong producers
Quit the game, that's what I outta do
Finna toss the baby out and the bath water too
When I'm rappin I always wonder what I've gotta prove
But once iHear the clappin, I can see it like it's nautical
But it's not a goal, well, not for me
I paint pictures with words, pay attention cuz you've gotta see
the quality inside of my emotional cacophony
Forget modesty, you know just how solidly I believe
I'm an anomaly. If you could see just who I am
Tryna find commonality being everybody's friend
I'm fillin in your circles like cheatin on an exam
Lord knows, I should never quit being who I am (16)

Bridge [nosticthepoet]:
But it gets harder when I try
I wonder if I'll sleep harder when I die
I wonder if they see heart ache when I cry
Or if their sympathy is really pity in disguise
But you can't fool me
Girl, I'ma be the man, you'll see
Then you'd be regrettin all ur "man cruelty"
Couldn't stomach it like she won't wear that dang two piece

Verse Three [nosticthepoet]:
You can bet it like casino
Bet I'll forget you: Cee Lo
You missed where it counts like the second free throw
Catch me on the rebound screaming out BINGO (4)
...BOW! Ain't nobody going this hard
Shooting for the stars is that why they call you Bricksquad?
Gucci Gucci Louis Louis Fendi Fendi Prada
Girl, I shop at Ross. Appearances don't matter (8)
I'd spit infinite-ly different if it did
Keep my exes out the equation like its arithmetic
It's archaic to be algebraic but it's no coincidence
I'm more articulate when she gets inconsiderate (12)
I've gotta face the facts, stop coverin my blemishes
Life's my inspiration, hope my poetry's equivalent
I'm a master lyricist, killing abolitionists
By the time I'm finished, they're gonna know who the realest is!
