Opening track of Killy’s 2019 album Light path 8. Coincidentally the Toronto born rapper’s album dropped on the same night the Toronto Raptors won the 2019 NBA Finals, a team that he heavily supports.
[Verse]
Last name ever, first name greatest
Number one contender according to speculation
Shed the dead weight off, cut amputated
My price is inflating like the size of my stages
Lift off, too mesmerized and fascinated
Came a long way, the journey, it been amazing
Number 43 was waiting down at the station
My old vacation was the falls for a daytrip (Hahahaha)
Shit done changed they expected me to move different (Huh)
Same building, yeah, but the view different (Huh)
I got new women, new ice, new clothes, huh (Bling)
And I think I've found the loophole
People preein' on my tail, hot pursuit though
Lot of open hands comin' by with zero (Yeah)
Feel like De Niro in Casino (Yeah)
I know things you could never find on Google
Can't copy-paste this blueprint, it's crucial
Past year I've been putting names on tombstones
And building group homes my city too cold
I'm like Zuko if he mastered every element
A year and some change, same stripes as the veterans
This industry made me opposite of generous
Young degenerates, G's to gentlemen
It's a secret, all we ask is your trust
Breakin' bread, lucky if I leave a crumb
Under pressure, guarantee you'd succumb
All the pressure 'round me make me cum
Fuck the game up for fun, then finesse it out the funds
Fuck I look like?
[Outro]
I can't keep mine all the time
Live the life, you gon' pay price
I can't keep feeling alright
