Lies

[Verse 1]
Some people just don't get this shit
Like, "why you rap, it's just cussin' kid?"
Do basketball or get honor roll
But I don't care 'cause I'm on a roll, I (yeah)
Don't got much of a following
To be honest, I'm just honoring
My promise, so I keep conjuring
These songs from shit I been harboring (yo)
I've put the pen to rest, I been depressed
I mend again, I won't surrender (I won't)
I've cut my ends against my former friend
But then I thought it was forever (nope)
I was the quote on quote slacker
Hated that, but I graduate at last (I'm done)
I know there's people I left in the dust
Who'd love to see me just take a nap
No sleep for the wicked, I got a new record
This shit is my ticket or another endeavor
That leads to a divot or keeps me a winner
For a brand new rhythm that comes from within
A new state of mind, I slay the rhyme
I pray to find a good place where I came to lie
Would it pay to try or pain to try?
I came to let you all take a ride from my side

[Chorus]
Never met you people and I prolly never will
But I keep it real like I know you better than myself
So I let it all out when I make it to the mic
Don't think I don't know
When I'm tellin' fuckin' lies right now (yo, yo)

[Verse 2]
I've almost hung up the microphone
So I coulda been done long ago
I hit my limit when I hit the bottom
Took a minute then I quickly got up (I'm up)
Rearranged all my pain in words
In the first draft of Sayin' Words
Read that shit in retrospect
And knew I had to get in check, so
I had to learn to forget shit
You'll never guess, I never forget shit (never)
I have been keepin' this with me
I got a lot more, I'll never let these
Regrets and feelings escape
Without my consent and ruin my day (be good)
So I been talkin' to blackness
Closin' my eyes when people be askin'
"How are you human, bitch?
You cannot be, I have proven this
My fuckin' girlfriend told me she hates your guts
And you fuckin' ruined us
Why are you mad?
I am just speakin out all of these facts
I don't care how many people are backin' you up
I don't give a fuck, I'm ready to make you erupt!"

[Chorus]
Never met you people and I prolly never will
But I keep it real like I know you better than myself
So I let it all out when I make it to the mic
Don't think I don't know
When I'm tellin' fuckin lies right now

[Verse 3]
I'm tryin' not to slip up, I cannot go through givin' in (I can't)
If I got somethin' to say and I'm not too sure
If you got my back on it, I won't say shit
I know it's vice versa, it's a vice worse than givin' mics, Cusa
Someone who writes words, so precise cursed like a bright surgeon
If your like that, we got a lot more in common than that (we do)
So I am willing to bet, you aren't killin' for sport
Both of us gotta redact, some shit we ain't gonna let go
'Till we just give in for the show, free from a prison
But I then wish I had locked up some of those blows
I've dissed some people in the heat of the moment, I'll own it (it's on me)
I keep the peace but don't keep in my focus, I won't blow it (I can't)
This my chance to be better 'ya know, so let's go (let's go)
CusaX up to bat, this is my ace in the hole, we can't go back

[Chorus]
Never met you people and I prolly never will
But I keep it real like I know you better than myself
So I let it all out when I make it to the mic
Don't think I don't know
When I'm tellin' fuckin lies right now
Never met you people and I prolly never will
But I keep it real like I know you better than myself
So I let it all out when I make it to the mic
Don't think I don't know
When I'm tellin' fuckin lies right now
