[Intro: Wiseboy Jeremy, Sample 1, Sample 2]
Light in the sun
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
They don't wanna see it through [?]
Yeah (yeah yeah)
But the story must go on
You and Swain got the deal
Uh
Yet it's a long time [?]
Yeah
Look
[Verse 1: Wiseboy Jeremy]
I stood together with people who divided in love
I hope my brother finds the peace that he finds in the judge elsewhere
At times, I think to myself "Does anyone else care?"
Even if they do, we on a constant search for shelter
And that I can understand, but still, I wanna help him
He had a convo with me and he said the way that he been looking up to me and Mac, he knows that something's missing
A lost boy at heart, and I can tell it
But I'm far from the place he sees me sitting
Scars in the choices I'm avoiding, I forget him
I saw a little boy looked in the mirror and express to him he's better than the standards that they stuck and tried to halt to him, yeah
Like just a little black boy with a rap voice following in the footsteps his dad left for him
But looking at him by now, we been nice to him
Hip-Hop from the mind, hard playing jazz course
Stand for my family, I bleed
I'm hoping that I don't repeat the damage I seen
But looking at the roots from the family that I come from, I'm hoping that my seed doesn't have the same thing
He doesn't have the same-
[Verse 2: Tec]
You was there for me not a little
You scared of me, it's initial
I'm therapy on a stereo
Bear in seas once that ship grew
I rip, chew
I'm walking carelessly, so I trip
No comparing me to a bitch, man
Everything is the shit
The daring gene I inherit, my rarity is a gift
No charity is to merit
I swear on me, I'm legit
It's clear to me you a snake, you betraying me for the title
Could barely look at my face, you embarrassed, you in a spiral
Comparing the shit that I do to your shitty achievements
You the type who never stop until the city is beaming
I really been scheming
I make the sketchy believers
You really think you can beat me?
The chance is hella uneven, ho
Cause when Tec steps in the ave, tell these men beware
Kill these rappers with the math, I'll leave these emcees squared
And I got these bitches mad, they wanna send me threats
You know I empty lead, leave you an empty head
[Verse 3: Muchi]
The whole deck of Jokers but here I'm playing Poker
My whole deck of kings and queens is why I'm staying focused
My old friends is missing me now that I'm getting numbers
My old self is history, but history, I'm holding
I'm scolding all these rappers who think they better than I, of course
You not as hard as us, you been taking all of the time, of course
I keep a lesson on me in case a rapper need finer ports
I keep a fork up on me cause rappers tend to be fake accords
People always seem to say they mess with me, they wrong
Cause if they mess with me, they would be flaking on my songs
Cause if they mess with me, they wouldn't be tryna keep me gone
That's the reason that I tend to do it on my own
Shout-out to the underground, y'all keep me inspired, boy
We can be the underground, cause we like the best artists
They will always push us down, but don't let 'em see you forward
Always never stay down, you got dreams you need to follow
[Verse 4: Xerces & King Quad]
I'm at the best in my life, and it came from this rap shit
I had troubles presentating, I would always just rap shit
I'm the king of closing over, toting over, bands that keep on rolling in
It's atrocious, I was posing for opponents
I'm poignant, I'm at the lone men, understand what it means to being open
I was hoping for no walls of Tartarus to hella banged in my way
[?] gripped by the chains
Put in my linguistic balls, I was never the same
What a shame to live in pain, like a lion, I would live in pride or hide in mane
A baller, so a titan takes some peers, some near the slaves
My ancestors lived in vain and by 'em
Just by grace and chain abide 'em
Life in slavery, generation never came [?]
Could never chain 'em [?] child's sake of taste
No one deserves to save a place
Made deserve to cope with 'caine
Life been just like cat and mouse
I been leading on a change, I been leading on a change (Uh-huh, yeah)
[Verse 5: King Quad]
I finally spoke to the holiest to filter my gasp
I stopped checking on my watch for time the longer relapse
I'm everlasting like it should be
You can't burn this history down, that's not tangible
Now flammable span from the clouds
Future veils in the ground, I took a vow
My psyche never emphasized the animal brow
Said I could throw in a towel
Endless nights that I cite, I cut the lights on a sight
Empty void with my eyes wide and tight
Mind dynamite, the brief flow in a leaf poem
The radiation going as far as this beach known
Dragging these straight on to the radio waves
Feel like us the only game for people suffering in pain
Off to my flair in the flames
To have had an altar to my off was in his name
Ten the urge, God Allah, I need a claim
Whatever's 'gon listen to me praying, laying down in my room, doors shut, closed shades
Fuck them old ways
