Culture vultures feasting on my brother’s corpse Emotional struggles my shoulders weighing on In a different world I’m in Topanga’s arms It’s me against the world I’ll wear my coat of arms I’ll go to war while you just warm the bench Leaves no impact cause you ain’t set that trend Down at Rittenhouse I see them crackers lurking Left my niggas in the shadow zero friends Communication half the battle, but I won’t interfere In my mental there’s a stratal, a rocky atmosphere Between the cancer and the murder, I’ve turned to petty care I’m going mad change the channel, I just sit and stare Took the harmony left me feeling empty Took a part of me that I could never ever get back Whether it’s a flashback or a text back Shit never worked out, I can never stretch that I can never stress that Tried to keep it thurl with my niggas but I ain’t seeking peace Puts my mind in a hurdle, a modern tapestry Posted on the wall my mind a fantasy Complex patterns I call them distant memories Overshadow burdens, trust vanished certain Unfolding like a center fold, now I’m feeling worthless Transactional outlets my music’s losing focus Akin to my brother’s mess, but he ain’t never chose this

Yeah, look I'm seeking for retorts And its fuck MTV, BET, and The Source Bitch I'm hungry need a '4-4-4' Weather must report snow days I ain't seen before I'm busy wading off the ocean floor Moments that's occurrent, flashbacks to that ocean shore My grandma still holding my hand Parking up at the Tropicana In the moment this where I stand Like Pneumonia I cannot imagine Looking back at that, Johnny Rockets mini heart attacks Niggas eating good, packed a sandwich how we all laughed Fried bologna in my lunchbag I-95 shit I might crash Blacking out but no I'm not dead Just a set back, post panic in my eyelids Try to fight but life's not fair Fuck the cancer in my mind cleared Change the stanza in my rhymes geared Better watch for snakes, on the fence like a swine veered Nother day like another year Nother hour while the clock turning Lost my grannies this is not assuring Question if I'm hurting couldn't speak this is not a sermon Couldn't bless the weak, fire garden in my heart burning Find a pulse for verbal intercourse Gotta grab the riches for my family sign to Interscope, damn Flashbacks I'm on the kitchen floor Huddled with my cousins, visions of a snotty nose Hot Cheetos with some Funyuns, never wanna go home My room was like a dungeon, I got the fritz Now I'm salty like some grits, grinding against my teeth, Marthy Wash rinse This is thoughts, this my death wish God bless the kid, switched the story of my narrative If I didn't beat the opposition Never would've made a statement, pray to God, but I am not a Christian Sipping on that potion, baby this my moment Had to make my grandmas proud, couldn't sink I'm floating Baby girl I'm chosen, why you always ghosting Couldn't hold a nigga down, had to get some motion Sippin on that potion, baby this my moment Had to make my grandmas proud, couldn't sink I'm floating Baby girl I'm chosen, this my way of knowing Couldn't hold a nigga down, had to get some motion

Chop the woods like a lumberjack If the wraps was extra crispy you know i gotta send it back Smoking on a couples sacks made it out the culdesac Praise be Allah but you know i gotta sell some crack Four sided like a tesseract Move it outta duffels feel like Tony when i touch a pack Fiends coming like they porno ads Line stacking out the door So you know they bout to run it back Interceptions when we pushing tracks Never leave a trace blues clues how you niggas step Never duck a fade low taper when i hit ya neck Tripping like he faded more power like he getting zapped Feel like Martin how i smoke my dreams Living on a cloud puffin O’s den i go to sleep See my shawty living heavenly Eyes of a goddess But you know she gotta be a tease As a youngin shit i never changed Hanging by that corner block Rapping like i set the stage Boxing with my mental Talent shows i never said a thing Freezing like the Arctic Now im hot and now i set a blaze Flicking like the lighter on ya spliff We bout to chop it up Ask me bout my partners Rich gang bring out them lambo trucks Blue suede we bout to bang the bus Knuckle to ya temple like my patna it aint no trouble son This aint for bottom feeders Real niggas and stable dreamers
