The cinematic track ‘Jumped’ begins with an bar-laden instrumental call-back to the Animus II track ‘A Million People’ (where the same instrumental itself featured as a prominent beat switch), before changing into a fiery, punchline-heavy boom-bap technical showcase.
The track sees reflection on ma...
[Intro]
Yeah
Shouting, sobbing
A million people
Man, fuck that
[Verse 1]
You're never gunna see me through eyes of Allah
You will never be even the size of my thumb
When the moon shines it's bright as the sun
There's new life inside of my lungs
I just cried inside for too long
Dry my eyes and sigh and move on
There's no time that's right to be wrong
Now I fight and strive to be strong
You small fries all try to be Kong
I'm king size don't try to belong
I say 'hi' as-salamu alaykum
You say bye-bye whenever Jay comes on
You just change the song, you don't stay for long
Still I stay full on, stick to it like I'm stapled on
Pull through it till I fray the knot
And I'm afraid I'm not scared to say
What's up till I've got there
And I was never gunna stop there
Tip top of a metropolis is a small step
Pit stop the oval office and just to knock heads
Rick Ross, maybe drop the devil off a new dress
When I get press, oh how they will they moan
Such pressed tones like sounds of a phone
Must let go like ham from a bone
Get laid out like couch in a home
[Verse 2]
When I get stressed knocked down on my own
Never get pressed like pounds for the drones
Put to the test i count em and go
Butcher the rest like cows in a road
You get grilled like mouth full of gold
Foot never rests I'll bounce from the lows
Filled full of zest don't bow to the throne
Go to the head pull crown from her dome
When I lay hooks like Balboa, it's no foul throw
When I swing I hit till their out cold
Look at me now go as I ride each kick like Ronaldo
How so? Well I got
Kicked from of the midst of peers as a kid
So sick full of fear, I ditched em and hid
And I write 'em a lyric and hit them with diss
And I wished they would hear it, and each of them did
And they jumped me for it!
Which gave me more ink and they punched me for it!
Which gave me more spirit on each record hit!
If they killed me then I'd let my ouija board spit!
Forced through the door so of course I explored it
Voice for the poor and you will not exploit it
Poised to perform i don't need you to gawk at
Me cos the world can't ignore when my tour hits
You all talk war but you're easy targets
I reach the bar, shit, I climb right past it
String katas like a martial artist
Skipped drama when in class but passed it
Pursuing me's something that's fruitless, G
Losers can't usually let themselves loose of me
You won't get through to me truthfully you would be doomed
If you shoot for me shit this ain't nothin' new to me
