Appetite of the Hour

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm lawless, don't need a god
Those are times, I'm driven reckless, don't see a wall
Sometimes I feel so distant, not getting I never listen
Other times, I get on my knees and beg for forgiveness
Do I wanna be free, or is it bullshit
I'm governing me, tryna find out with the truth is
Act all high and mighty, just chillin' and judgin' people
I couldn't rock with them niggas, for some reason we aren't equal
Screamin' bout freedom, while I'm preachin', seein' what's right and wrong
Maybe democracy isn't somethin' I wanted all along
Youngins in the prison, done made a shank to defend him
I'm terrified of cops, wanna talk about terrorism?
I'm slavin' for the product, they robbed us, while making riches
Frustrated, just tryna make it, done made me vicious
Ruining relationships, chasing status, that never mattered
Lord tell me what am I really after?

I can't be sidetracked by the appetite of the hour

[Verse 2]
Rap is gettin ugly watchin niggas turn to junkies
I'm feelin lucky, gimme a beat and I'm gettin chubby
That's somethin they can't from me, I cannot be like a druggie
Cause when he finally clean, they gon' say he fell off like bungie
Cords, and they supposed to be fans
Only care about the music, they don't care 'bout the man
So don't impose your values on me, 'less you care about my welfare
This for my people that saw my lows and are still here
Bout gettin better, I'm still gon' worry bout cheddar
Don't buckle for a fling, cause my ting is forever
Can't yet afford the ring, but this kind of queen, is a catcher
Always knew I had it up in me, I needed effort
Being king is a pleasure, taking extreme measures
My morals cannot be broken, I won't be squeezed under pressure
I'm only gettin' old, so I guess I'll live by my code
My children gon' need a rolemodel, supply em with the mold

[Verse 3]
I swear to god, I wanna uplift, like Fuck bein rich
Cause what does it really mean, if my brother is psick?
Some will resist, others will flip
I Really just wanna know I exist
Is it worth it, to quit, for happiness?
Whatever's holding me back? Imagine this
Surrounded by all these screens, smiles, behind them screams
When you add in the popup ads, I'm playin catchup to breathe
