[Verse 1:]-
Seems like the chip on my shoulder done started pissin u off, type 2 out do u niggas ima shit if u fart/
N that's the pitiful part/ n u off to a pitiful start, looks like u gon take a bit of a loss/
But the GOD put on the finest designer cloth to hide his battle scars/ Reality rap I don't battle dawg not at all/
I let y'all drink from the river my tears supplied the resevoir/ Cold nights in hell, I brought u close, to let you hear the devil talk/
Lord forgive me for the days i was ever lost/
thinking I was better off, humble so they mistake me as soft but,
naw dawg I'ma keep this shit 4ever raw/
Mask on mask off/
Masks getting dragged off, images n facades got the youth minds off/
My only regret is time lost n not taking time off, n the innocent that I've crossed/
But the rhyme Lord gotta climb boards, otherwise ties getting cut off, lines getting you lost/ Fuck off, yeah/
Fuck off, yo/
(Chorus:)-
Leave me the fuck alone I'm in an internal war zone/ every day I seem a little less certain the fight seems a little less worth it but beneath it lies purpose/
(Verse 2:)-
Salutations to u niggas ion need evaluations from u niggas ya minds spacious but I'm after them figures/
I fight for this music I fight for my life/ no choice but to do it I'm fighting for what's right/
If i can't make sumn shake I'll always compensate for the wait, innate compositions eliminate competition/ step up 2 tha plate boy u made the wrong decision, kush strong as the writtens its hittin/ yo
I legitimize greatness/
U epitomize fake shit that snake shit I hate, I can't take it/
The real still congratulating like it's my happy belated, cuz they see the vision n they know we gon make it/
U can't shake it/
ima proceed to give the people something to believe in/
They need us/ we need them/
They need us/ we need them/
(Chorus:)-

(Rio Verse:)-
I'm at the barbershop praying they don't fuckup my part/
That this game don't fuck wit my heart, they can't fuck wit my art/
Now u stuck wit this, told u it's buckets from time the game start/
You lames lost, I wasn't playing while u was playing ya part/ (Aye)
Hell yeah i got a lot on my plate/ But I grow at exponential rates/
Yes he's great, my fate was to keep the faith/
You cant keep up, but u moving at a decent pace/
Keep doin whatchu doin, don't forget to celebrate Life/
But its best not to hesitate/
And remember that it's not a race, don't make the same mistake twice/
I'm tryna be precise man we innovate/
I live in the sky day n night/ yo, uh
Day n night/ uh, yo
Day n night/ yo
(Tedy Verse:)- I got a solid routine to build the cream for us/
I leak poision when I record on beat choices/
The main source for young bosses and a few divorces/
Raekown the Chef, Diadoras on cheffing the swordfish/
Remain loyal, be careful who you make important/
Catz squad up make plays without who made their connects for em/
I'm lawn mowing snake gardens I don't play cordial/
Prolly gettin toppy from a thotty in a beige porscha/
Insubordinate till my day of death/
Flooded with ice, flash my ornaments over Fendi F's/
Fell short to get employed the drug test had me vexed/
Had to assort coke like meal preps, re-up make it stretch/ uh
I sense weakness, like sharks smell blood in water/
Ishmael mold us and Andreas knew the divine order/
I keep the pistol obscure, under the Ralph Lauren/
Purple Label, I'm equipped for playa hating auras/

(Chorus:)-
I know you people not for me, in privacy is where I deal with my grief, like when u beating ya meat/
Same place where I hurt, is where I had to heal n find peace/ I chose to be discreet you not gon find me/
So you can try n realign me from my trail/
But you wasn't wishing me well when I was throwing coins in the wishing well, opposition I'ma give em hell/
The only competition is with myself/
I let a few haters get too close for comfort/
They wish I went insane from the pain but I just smoke till my lungs hurt/ You know what these nugs worth/
(Verse:)-
Death brings us closer, regret stronger than gratitude, that's why when
they was alive you had all that attitude/ I ain't mad at chu/ me n my pops
speaking again after I lost my grandfather he lost a father n a friend/ n
unfortunately my cousin lost his limbs/ made me think about life like once
twice then again/ all the petty shit I let it go up in the wind/ told my
soul I ain't going down that road again/ the truth I don't hold it in i
hold within/ u losers move without purpose I'm getting through to the youth
with these verses/ we on some Black power righteousness freedom fighting
shit/ I'm a voice for the youth, I'm a voice for the truth made a choice
this is life more than just being nice in the booth/ salute/
(Chorus:)-
