"Ay yo bruh...talk to these niggas"

Had to speak on it..
(Mhm-mhm)
It's been a while...
"Ay kill this beat young blood"
...wallahiiiii-ii!
"Kill! Kill-kill-KILL!...Blood"
[Verse 1]
There I be...watchin' the game from a distance
Not too many strikers willin' to play they position
Fake smiles, and empty greetings when snakes get to hissin'🐍
TMZ MC's, linin' up for the latest edition🤦♂️
Hearin' my name in the mentions? Mxm, it is what it be
Kermit the hеrmit - mindin' my business, sippin' my tea🐸☕
(Ton my nuag)
They hit mе up to benefit off my talent hopin' the skill can rub off - sorry, but they just don't make 'em like me🤷♂️
Lately protectin' my peace...pursuin' my savior✝️🙏
(Lord God, I come to you a sinner...Inshallah)
Apologies accompanied by continued behaviour
Social circles overflow with abusive enablers
Silent but cautious🧐, I'm not a dummy - I'm doin' you a favour
Fresco house, we in the kitchen trine hide from his dogs🐕
(Facts)
Stable table conversations with SHALdo the god👌
(Facts)
Gustav say "ay you the best, and the album was hard"
(Anxious Confidence)
Fuse said "all slappers, why'd it sound like a round of applause👏?"
(Jeez)
(Wow!) (bravo!) (fire!)
Processed rhymes from a complex mind, and bendin' words in ways your favourite could never imagine
If a broad trip/abroad trip...then I'm sendin' 'em packin'🧳
(Sheesh)
Trust I'm a veteran rapper, blessed with one hell of a grammar📚
Couldn't be one of these artists act like I'm failin' in school📑🏫
Dumb like they makin' it cool, I am not playin' the fool🙅♂️
Give me a paper to do📝 , and tell me the hours is 3⏰?
It's nothin' - I take it in two⌚
Fuck it - I'll finish in one⏳
Trust me - I'm acin' it too👨🎓
Figured I'd teach 'em a lesson👨🏫
My results looked like you beggin' to get my attention📝
A...A...A...A...
(Give me my space in this room!)
Finished U-N-I so you and I could be one of the same
My degree kinda startin' to look like the front of a plane - First Class
Tryna make my family wages improve
Doggy, you don't wanna bark when I'm in a dangerous mood!
I'm a cantankerous dude - Google that then come back and play this like "ooohoohoo😮!"
[Hook]
Oh my...
I surpassed my predicitions back when the bar that I'd set for myself was so high...
I'm familiar with disloyalty, all I ask when I see you is that you don't lie...
(I'm not dumb)
They wanna show me where I should be by now, I tell 'em "I get it in my own time"...
In my own time...
(God's time)
Oh my...
I'm better than I thought I'd be back when the bar that I'd set for myself was so high
I'm familiar with disloyalty, all I ask when I see you is that you don't lie...
(Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk)
They wanna show me where I should be by now, I tell 'em "I get it in my own time"...
In my own time...
[Verse 2]
The fake ones'll be the first to be prouda you though🤔
Like they weren't leakin' all the confidence outta you, foe
Like - it was only non-believers beside of you though, and so much so it's why you started keepin' it silent, you know?
Waveriders wanna surf🏄♂️ like, "I'm proud of you bro"
"I see that fire that be burnin' inside of you, woah🔥"
Same time they think I'm slow 'cause I'm smilin' you know
(Yeah, keep tryin' me...)
I'm still the type to gon' and slap the fucking shit outta you bro!😤
2022 best tell yo' niggas I'm comin' with it
And this time I'm kind enough to let you rehearse in the hearses ⚰
With everybody's name on 'em, I'm such a personal person😊
This ain't no nursery rhyme👶, these university verses🎓🧠
Last tape dropped...self-mastered...no promo
13 tracks...2 features...so solo
That shoulda showed you I don't like to be told what to do😒
Homie I know what to do, I'm not devoted to you🤚🤞
✌"Analyse"✌ - Lotta critics offerin' over-reviews
Zodie, I'm over reviews - unless it's The Nova Review🧏🏾♀️
(When mi pull up on di scene...)
Real artists with real motive and real passion
If money and socials were non-existent, SHE STILL RAPPIN'!
It's deeper than power, I'm generatin' a generation🔌
(Facts)
Can't control me boss, I'm delegatin' the delegation💼👨💼
(Facts)
Masked up sicko👹, a real psycho, a sicko, killin' everyone in my camp - they callin' Ray up instead of Jason🔪
House of education, yet they still couldn't read the room
(No)
Feudin' with the pharoah wouldn't strike me as feasible🤨
(No)
I know you never come around arms🔫, so best you keep a wrist-phone etiquette nigga - watch who you speakin' to ⌚📱(around arm/wrist-phone/watch speak into)
Once I get my coins up💰, it's "Raymond, you changed🪙 on me "
(Don't make sense💸)
We ain't spoke in 4 years, like...you still the same, homie😶?
Discussions get too wheezy/Weezy and that shit start to wane/Wayne/weigh in on me
If we not in sync? I pipe down anybody that drain on me🚰
Shkrrrt🏎...they gon' tell it was different in here
My formula won/Formula One already🏎, I'm constantly switching the gears🚘
Course🏁 I got the drive, automatically🚗 driftin' the steer⚙
Only time I ever see a threat when I look in the mirror👀🪞
Too many diss trackin'🙄
Too many lips yappin'🗣🤫
Fast food discographies 'cause too many kids rappin'🥱
Too many dead artist 'cause too many mismatchin'🤡
Don't pit 'em against me, I'll pimp smack 'em and bitch slap 'em😈
They'll look at me like...
