[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/

I Know.. 02:02
(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:)-
