Locksmith steadily tries to increase a reliable fanbase. One of the ways he enables his music to get the exposure it deserves, is through his series ‘LockLyft’ in which he picks up people as a Lyft-driver and plays his songs to his passengers.
[Intro]
It's gon' be intense
[Verse 1]
Look, Head in the clouds
I don't need handshakes and I don't need smiles
I don't need nobody's hand in my pocket
Decipher my profits or eat off my vowels
I been on tour for like 52 dates
I knocked a new one in 20 new states
I been a easy on how they receive me
The crescents conceive me you cannot escape
You ain't gotta listen but it's still fact
Most of these niggas be steady trickin' but I still stack
I know the difference between a sucker and a real Mac
I am from Richmond, when I was young they instilled that
I hear the shit that you niggas drop and I calm the
Disregard any credits and you could never con me
Now you got the nerve
And the guard to ask me what I been feelin'
My opinion is "Nigga, that's beyond me!"
I gotta different kind of agenda that entertainin' pretenders
Came in the game with splinters it was costly
I can remember when you had tried to dismember my credibility
Silly rapper don't ever try to cross me!
God bless you, I request you to keep a larger gap
Between me and the raps that you peddlin'
Now you wanna come and play damage control
Manage your soul, I be right here after the death settles in, settlin'
How do I take the negative, narrow it to a narrative
Narily reachin' my goals, you froze when the air was thin
Would you rather follow a dream or a meme
I rather follow my heart and start line of comparison
Comparin' me to the next man is shiftless
If you don't see it now don't ask later forgiveness
I don't do friendship, I do business
Either you bear arms or bear witness
[Chorus]
Listen, you fuckin' wit' a true one
I can see the snakes when they do come
I can see the stakes when they do run
But you don't see the place that I grew from
Yeah, it's Richmond on mine
You feel the way but act different online
You take my kindness for weakness
So fuckin' agree just you don't deserve none
[Verse 2]
I been in front of the fronters and front runners who front numbers
Who run from us and comment they come at you come summer
Some of you sun under my undecide or uninspired
I come alive, you come at I with a sunken vibe
I summarize your sum of lies
And every son of a bitch bitchin' 'bout sudden rise, suckin' life
My undivided is unrequited
I become quiet as soon as you niggas sigh or you sub a lie
Don't expect me to write off with the light scoffed
The nights off you took predictin' what I thought
So I bought into the bullshit that you sail with
Now I'm much wiser a unbiased sales pitch
You frail bitch are paperthin and unholy
I tell you what the universe had once told me
You can say what you like with no concern
But every action comes back in return
I'm turnin' my back now, I never will back down
I bat down whatever you lash out
I rather would hash out, 'stead of the fast route
I cast out any distraction
Niggas use social platforms for egotistical traction
I cashed in on my own terms then ran back
Self determination determines why I would land that
I ransacked the industry fuck your empathy
Instantly niggas tried to retract for where they stand at
You can't rap but your vibe is pushin'
The immature recognized and provide a cushion
No more mature look aside at the times we shouldn't
America eats its' young we subscribe and push it
We supply the dinner where we been aware
If we don't feel instantly entertained, we look away for bigger fare
Pick a pair of hot artists I kill 'em both
And watch 'em fall prey to my lyricism and growth
[Chorus]
You fuckin' wit' a true one
I can see the snakes when they do come
I can see the stakes when they do run
But you don't see the place that I grew from
Yeah, it's Richmond on mine
You felt a way but act different online
You take my kindness for weakness
So fuckin' agree just you don't deserve none
