Lighten Up

[Verse 1]
Full circle like making over Oprah back to the color purple
It just don't happen like turtles jumping hurdles
Words get hurtful if the soil ain't fertile
It won't grow with no H2O
If you don't know like no dough, then there's no show
But I'm an emcee, I still might kick a flow
But no mo' than a verse or freestyle unrehearsed
It's a blessing and a curse like a free ride home but in a hearse
On second thought yeah I'm guessing that's worse
Even more than a gulp of sand to quench your thirst
I got some things up in the works
I plant my seeds but I only grow weary
Unfocused, lose sight of the vision and used to see it so clearly
Holla if you hear me, yours sincerely
Haters steer clear, don't even get near me
Give me fifty feet while I bust on this gritty beat
You're a customer with no receipt, no surrender and no retreat
I remember no belief in me was to be found
When I would look around for help, I fell I dealt
I knelt down for guidance and got up
And tightened my belt like Orion's
Guess I was deciding on violence
Guess my mind is like a riot of silence
Open up my eyes and they blinding me with science
Listen I'm a do like Griffin, stand in defiance
Word is bond, I got juice like the dude who used be from the Giants
So I await your compliance

[Hook]
They tell me that I need to lighten up
I be taking my music way too serious
But that's the reason why y'all lining up
Cause you know that I'm dope as soon as you hear me bust

[Verse 2]
Who wanna catch it quick? I spit infinite
Intricate intertwined rhyme in and out the cut
Intimate intimidate those who ain't feeling it
Stealing it like your shows, shows I'm still killing it
Flat lines, kinda bring 'em to life with my ink
Sink, I'm a page paramedic
I let 'em medicate your meditation
Stay away from run-of-the-mill-type skills
I live in Haterville, man forget a record deal
If you ain't sitting on a mil living up in them hills
There's really no point like a circle-shaped dollar bill
Plus my catalog is getting sick
As if it's under the weather so whenever I'm under pressure
Man I'm like whatever
Bet your bottom dollar, never break a sweat
I'd rather break a collar bone
You're like "what is it he's on?"
I'm sinister visit the visitor's home
So what you wan do? Naw, what you gon' do?
You're slippin' trippin' for real what you wan dude?
Shoulda just say no, playdough salty softy
Back up off me, coming at me faulty's costly

[Hook]
They tell me that I need to lighten up
I be taking my music way too serious
But that's the reason why y'all lining up
Cause you know that I'm dope as soon as you hear me bust
