I will em’ to being Don’t care who da foe is A fork in the road on the M1 I’m the one feeding the rope since back then Now that I reap what I sow, I’m tapped in I only speak what I know, like accents Only time that I lack, is in practice I slide on the sheet like it’s satin Ain’t in a band, but I’m making a band Every time I’m supplying, demanding From this plane I depart off the landing Walking this path, still prior to transit Capture me now while the fire is candid Could never keep me in line, I’m a tangent I do not need to arrive when them man did Some of these guys, they really were handpicked I like to speak in the old, like Sanskrit Where I go Is where my people know when I’m absent Tek time, watch-in your name on the headline Comes when your head’s right, They thought I ate just to get by They couldn’t stomach my next line Wasn’t All That till I said why Saw from the right with my left eye Against the grain is the necktie Moving on up from the breadline Tek time, watch-in your name on the headline Comes when your head’s right, They thought I ate just to get by They couldn’t stomach my next line Wasn’t All That till I said why Saw from the right with my left eye Against the grain is the necktie Moving on up from the breadline Tek time, watch-in your name on the headline Comes when your head’s right, They thought I ate just to get by They couldn’t stomach my next line Wasn’t All That till I said why Saw from the right with my left eye Against the grain is the necktie Moving on up from the breadline

Uh, so you don’t like me Your words are heavy but I’m taking em’ lightly I learn to listen to those who can sightsee Through the lens before the vision is looking pricey If I ever fail, I’m starting again People wishing you well, that’s an arm and a leg Feel what I said like braille Rather chase your tail Than to chase your tale I’ve come to collect From the start Had a few of them eyeing me in the dance, You don’t rock with me only Because you can’t If you want honesty When you’re looking for company They’ll be playing be the part, it’s true Big chat about all the things that I can’t do Or say, but it’s parle whenever they pass you Not one of dem’ I don’t need to pretend I proceed where you end I’ll take a seat in your castle, Got my loved ones asking what’s the matter? A couple tried to boy me So I had to man up The rich in disguise We might pull your mask off Moving like Bruce with the green I ain’t talking Banner Something I’d say, if I cared enough Peeling back the layers now you’re tearing up Prepare to fail if you ain’t prepared for such Vicariously living You can’t bear to be a witness To yourself It’s either think or swim Before you touch the scene you better think you’re him Or think you’re her ‘Cause we’re not dem And they’ll say we’re crossing lines Just ‘cause we came first ‘Cause it’s deep within Hear me through the speakers When I speak about the peace of things Some will keep it secret When it’s easier to teach it These are notes I’m only leaving for myself But we both needed it Uh, so you don’t like me Your words are heavy but I’m taking em’ lightly I learn to listen to those who can sightsee Through the lens before the vision is looking pricey, If I ever fail, I’m starting again People wishing you well, that’s an arm and a leg Feel what I said like braille Rather chase your tail Than to chase your tale I’ve come to collect

We’ve been on the ball, can’t lay up We’ve all heard it before, can’t play us Waan’ talk us to death, no seance There’s no shortage of breath Till it’s talk of a cheque Then it’s shhh Scale don’t weigh up Best you apply that pressure Life moves like a diamond tester No jester No joke (no joke) To go far, best keep it close I won’t change, gotta keep my clothes add Like bro, have you seen this coat? Like bro, don’t I speak in quotes? Postpone what I’ve seen in scope! I got range, brother Shelling it down, better take cover, I never claimed I could save summer, ‘Cause why tell a lie with your eyes to the sky if you know that you can’t sell it, You’ve got a line of mine in your mind rent free, Like David as Kilgrave, I’m a tenant, It’s either you feel pain then dispel it, Or feed the concealed rage, it develops And nobody sees that you’re holding it in Only hope for relief is to Let that, let that go Them man can act, no action Everyone cut when the scene gets active Never been one on smoke, just blunt When it comes to the passion The lack thereof, like they’re facing sanctions They wanna claim my tactics I had to pace myself I couldn’t wait for help The bottom need green like Bottega From the same cloth cut short, no tailor Hop out the jeep, same way out the trailer What I mean is either way I’m a sailor Jamaican man with his hand pan’ the paper Holding receipts like he handles the culture We’re all part of nature And I guess so are the vultures Stay up We’ve been on the ball, can’t lay up We’ve all heard it before, can’t play us Waan’ talk us to death, no seance There’s no shortage of breath Till it’s talk of a cheque Then it’s shhh Scale don’t weigh up Best you apply that pressure Life moves like a diamond tester No jester Come again? How you mean you put down the pen? How you mean you reject what others express How you mean, never ask but still expect what others might never get? How you mean your cards aren’t on top of the deck? Are you mad? Those at the front came way from the back Bask in the sun, then reap what you plant Love what you’ve got and seek what you lack And it’s done. And it’s done. And it’s done. Stay up We’ve been on the ball, can’t lay up We’ve all heard it before, can’t play us Waan’ talk us to death, no seance There’s no shortage of breath Till it’s talk of a cheque Then it’s shhh Scale don’t weigh up Best you apply that pressure Life moves like a diamond tester No jester No joke (no joke) To go far, best keep it close I won’t change, gotta keep my clothes Like bro, have you seen this coat? Like bro, don’t I speak in quotes? Postpone what I’ve seen in scope! I got range, brother Shelling it down, better take cover I never claimed I could save summer

Way too heavy Lines takes time as the weight’s too steady They’re not ready I’m inclined to relay what’s mine, not a child Or a Saint, I don’t play with Teddy’s Yeah, yeah Rise your spine when you bargain with them Their fair price is an arm and a leg But I can’t turn into Vader Turned it down like I turned in a paper Examined the world like we made it with shaders What’s done now, we’re not doing it later Calling me frugal while you live in Vegas Looked in my blood, they took it from Lagos Now that we know we’re one as Jamaicans Hm, okay Now we’re the one’s with the motion, My people stand tall, Gary Coleman Came with the grease, they came with the lotion 1 man deep, never needed the trojans I can do this because So we’re backing it up Done with the chat, close that MSN days now how we’re wrapping it up I need my space, the camera shutters The stars might align, am I standing amongst The greats? No What if that was the case? So? What do you want on your plate? Enough I gotta raise the stakes, it’s tough And I’m rare They couldn’t bus me, came with a fare And it was costly, felt like Kakashi Beating Itachi, he wasn’t there That couldn’t stop me Or my ideas Now that I’m here I’m glad I had something to fear We act like we’re tough till the damage is done And that’s just a common affair Breathing Same way I’m touching the ceiling They say they wanted to see him Just ‘cause they couldn’t believe it I’ve been here before Ball on the court Taking the shot No, I don’t drink So if I miss Know that’s on me Pick it back up And go for the free I’m playing my luck Then look to the team If I get stuck I’ll figure it out ‘Cause it’s up to me To bring me relief It’s up to me To bring me relief You know?

A man can’t step where demands not met Either cash your cheque or invest in the zone 1-6 is what we call home Boba Fett how they came with the clones Run the red and only then are we prone To check the self out the place you know I’m eclectic, checking methods Less detection, more progression Setting tone Set alight like I swiped your ting off your phone I’ll close my eyes when you lift up your own You know not the prize, you’re sitting below You live in your prime, your ribs take a blow You put that aside, then take up the notes So that the next time you think you’re alone You’re not At times I’ve spoke like a broken clock I’m right, twice Making a movement Multiple choice, the way that we’re choosing The way to see I’m on the way from A to B, Like the missions of halo 3 One day I might break bread for free But until then it’ll take a fee Believe Ain’t gonna miss that moment Ain’t gonna miss, they’re hoping Taken a list of omens As ways to predict the motion My guy, I call him the arbiter The rest have been calling me Chief But my name has never been John And yet, it’s all up to me Stepped out the box, no custody They’re not on top, must be underneath They never came with a recipe Letting them cook, a catastrophe The man I examine, before interaction I’ll never know why they’ve been testing me All of this talk and yet nothing was said You cannot address me as enemy You cannot address me, you’re lacking a home Surrounded by people not backing the growth They’re happy to keep you in lack and it shows You know?
