Give & Take

[Intro: The Thought]
BLAQKNOIZ!
Yo
Word up to JD

[Verse: The Thought]
It's the official, man who get to skip school
No pistol, I can handle with my fists, dude
I'm installed and I'm gearing up to boot
An insult, if you think I'm one to shoot
I ain't trying but a suit, I got diamonds in my eyes
Stealing all your loot when I see Lucy in the sky
Except for all the newts, I'm a loser out of time
They don't give a toot when The Thought is put to rhyme
Where you putting all your dimes? I'm wasting mine on dining
I ain't eating nowhere fancy, but I suck at fitting time in
To slave over a grill to get some chicken on my plate
I got too many bills to be spending on the steak
They say it's "give and take", but I stay hating on my taxes
'Cause I haven't an estate so Trump didn't drop my rate
Details I'mma skate right over until they break
But I don't report my cash and I suggest you do the same!

[Verse: J Soulstice]
Everything's been crazy, man, I can admit that!
In life, you either make it or break it, just like a KitKat
I'm present with my words, that also means that I gift rap
Hiphop, I live that, in my mind I been trapped
I don't wanna take orders, a side of fries and Big Mac
I've been leaving people in awe, and now they wear chin-straps
Got a lot of weight on my shoulders, I need to lift that
It feels good to have a mic and they say "yo, yo J, rip that!"
I don't want to be a table and stable the fall
Sometimes all I want to do is walk away from it all
And run away like I'm someone who's escaping the law
I wanna be at home chilling with the cable installed
With a quart of Ben and Jerry's, I said itinerary
Got friends getting married, others getting buried
For some real, like when Hagrid said: "You're a Wizard, Harry!"
They call me delusional, but I'm just a visionary
Don't think about the end result, just know where to start first!
I've been feeling lost so much that my heart hurts
Can't erase the past, yo there's permanent markers
No Google, the pursuit of happiness, now that's a hard search!

[Verse: The Thought]
Hi, my name is Jack, the brokest rapper you know!
Haven't cashed in on a track but I'm still hoping you show
Some love for all we doing, before it leading to ruin
What's beef but the stewing? It's surely more than a flow
And I adore my Lil' bro, but why y'all sleeping on me?
Like a year past time-to-go and you still brushing your teeth
I done found the pot of gold and gave a classic release
But I ain't got the SEO to get my name on a lease
I need my seat at the table, motherfucker!
I wanna eat, but my income ain't stable
It's more than beats, I'm like cable, motherfucker!
Go ahead and flip the channel for a label
I can't afford to be an artist and that shit gotta change
So I'm gambling my saving just to show my range
Y'all still rocking all this garbage? I got blood on the page
Every day I'm praying just to do this on a stage, I'm saying!

[Outro: The Thought]
BLAQKNOIZ
Yo!
