[Verse 1: Scuare]
Look, finger grips getting stronger
I will suffer no longer
Holding onto my conscience is
More important than your honor
Wasting time around toxic shit
Circular with their logic
Usually I'm so cautious
Like to know all my options
Never one to be plotting
Surrounded by liars and conmen
I just wanna be like Common
I just wanna leave it honest
Say one word through your cheeks, I’m out
Well informed in my peace, I've found
I don't need a please right now, huh
Y’all are dead to me right now, huh
[Bridge: Scuare]
It's that narcissistic streak, there's no empathy
Never understand to me you're no centerpiece
It's that narcissistic streak, there's no empathy
Never understand why we got no sympathy
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken now, baby
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken, a lil bit
[Chorus: Scuare]
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin’, playin’
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin’, playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin’, playin', playin'
Y'all been made
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Y'all been made
I'm done playin
[Verse 2: Kill Bill: The Rapper]
Watch us slip into the water
Till' the well run out
My hand ain't never touch the mat
But still the bell rung out
Cause you got cuts beside your temple
That you bladed for the color
When the kayfabe under fire
How much faking can you muster?
Like for real, but we ain't even being real
Cause' I'm not real to you
I feel it's all diversion
Just a smoke screen that I'm feeling through
Let's count that, one, two, three
The stinger stuck, you bumblebee'd
Don't give a fuck on what you need
If I'm the crux that you perceive
I'm not the one
Teleport me to a time when this was fun
You hella noided, and that's fine, but shit I'm done
Just hold that gold around your waist you never won, won, won, won
[Bridge: Scuare]
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken now, baby
When you take for so long you must only feel mistaken, a lil bit
[Chorus: Scuare]
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Y'all been made
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Apply the pressure to them, quick
I'm done playin', playin', playin'
Y'all been made
