In the last track off of The Middle, K.A.A.N reflects on the criticism that he’s received throughout the years and his experience with the rap game in general
[Intro: K.A.A.N.]
Eh, Knowledge, yeah, lawd
[Chorus: K.A.A.N, Bleverly Hills]
Said I’ve been lookin’ I can’t find you
So you don’t have to tell me lies no
Said I can see it in your eyes oh
Said you don’t have to tell me lies to try and ease my mind
You takin' my all
You takin' my all
You takin' my all
And you don’t have to tell me lies to try and ease my mind, no
[Verse 1: K.A.A.N]
Got it all on lock and down pat, nigga
With the sinister raps I just snap, nigga
But no photo op cuz I tax, nigga
Put the flow on swang, we got ‘em listenin’ mayne
That shit’s a bit of a pain, but yet a minimal loss that I been willin’ to take
Take, take, take
No fold or break and pump my brakes I can’t
This picture painted passed the litmus test
I spoke to God he told me never quit
These niggas speakin’ never sayin’ shit
I’m not complacent, souls adjacent to my maker, beneficial clearer conscience
Niggas choke like clear your tonsils, intellect of infant toddlers, missing fathers
Light the Ganja, calm my nerves and think a bit
The mind of a mad man trapped in this
But the time moves slow and it’s ravaging
Goin’ insane tryna master this
I just blacked out, some Bruce Banner shit
While these niggas change, Bruce Jenner shit
Can’t find your soul, your self worth, please
Best bow to God, well that’s not unique
I never left, I stay down, believe, for my legacy, wholeheartedly, Lawd!
[Chorus: K.A.A.N, Bleverly Hills]
Said I’ve been lookin’ I can’t find you
So you don’t have to tell me lies no
Said I can see it in your eyes oh
Said you don’t have to tell me lies to try and ease my mind
You takin' my all
You takin' my all
You takin' my all
And you don’t have to tell me lies to try and ease my mind no
[Verse 2: K.A.A.N]
Yeah, Knowledge, nigga, lawd, Eh, Uh, Look
Tell ‘em back back back back off me
The life I live that’s costly
These niggas would have froze if they
Ever had to walk a mile inside these shoes of mine
I’ve been given everything I’m feelin’ crucified
Sayin’ do it like I do it tell ‘em you’s a lie
See the reality I’m livin’ well it’s down to earth
I could bless you with some game for whatever it’s worth
Operatin’ at a level that you’ll never touch
I’m underestimated, overworked, and underpaid
I been zoned out, goin’ in, ery day, 24/7 treat the booth like a pulpit
Preach like a Reverend
Leave a mark to remember this
I spark with the penmanship
Man they all acting feminine
I’m lost in the melody
I’m a God with the remedy
Feel the pain in my sentiment
It’s evident I do this shit correctly
Make it all look easy like no effort to reach the peak proceed to do the extra
Stretchin’ for the finish, lookin’ photogenic, stupid mothafuckas never fuckin’ listen
Nothin’s overnight, this shit is repetition
What’s your definition of success and what do you suggest I do to get the shit?
[Chorus: K.A.A.N, Bleverly Hills]
Said I’ve been lookin’ I can’t find you
So you don’t have to tell me lies no
Said I can see it in your eyes oh
Said you don’t have to tell me lies to try and ease my mind
You takin' my all
You takin' my all
You takin' my all
And you don’t have to tell me lies to try and ease my mind no
