HOT LEAD

[Verse]
I notice a void in hip-hop, my job’s to fill the emptiness
You work at getting famous, I’m anxious and infamous
‘cause I write like a kamikaze lives life, detonate cockpits when I spit
Tongue lashing, I’m crashing mics, see…
A common beauty is commonly overlooked
So for that reason, I kept walking past my crown
That’s why I love living life in circles
‘cause I seem to find things that I missed the first time around
Now I’m back to where I started, a driven artist with purpose
A little woker, a little wiser, no longer depressed or worthless
I’m starving again, homie
Hungеr can’t explain
I bite the hand that feeds from fingеrtip to shoulder blade
Just a little while ago, I was thinking about retirement
The end was actually gonna be Autopilot, but Rome wasn’t built in a day or even two
God taught me to change the world and I’m starting with you
I sing like no one’s listening and dance like no one’s watching
For me, it’s an exercise, you have no other option
Call yourself an artist, but the art isn’t done right
I blossom in the darkness while you wither in sunlight
See, I make masterpieces and laugh at your bars
Take a hint, I’m leaving footprints in the path of the stars
Place all your egos on the top shelf…
‘cause victory’s in the preparation for the game, not the game itself
Now when I die, I’m gonna fly with the angels
And when I die to the angels, where I land you can’t imagine
I’m concerned with the condition of my soul’s transition
And your biggest concern is rocking the latest fashions
The passion was lost before I found my balance
Now I know it takes a little more than ink and talent to progress
Time for me to make moves and take control of the reins on my career and in the process, I’ll obliterate the nonsense
I do this for my three sons, wife and close cypher, for every fan I’ve ever had the pleasure to inspire
I’ve walked through the fire so you wouldn’t burn your hands
And I’ve drowned in the water so you could stay on dry land
I’ve walked in the rain so you could notice the rainbows
I’ve drowned in the pain so you could smile when the sun glows
My tongue is a gun and when it’s cocked back, this is what I do
