Panda (Remix)

[Intro]
Yo, yo
This is Cryptic Wisdom
And this is my remix to Panda
Done in one take

[Verse 1]
Yo, I wasn't gonna use the beat
I was ready to assume defeat
When Lucas beat me to it I would contemplate to Joyner not
And slay it on a usual feat
But I think the Panda's still breathing
Eat it up, looking like bamboo for me
Y'all are booty babooners
Who are three year olds with a mic shoot for me, I run BLANG
I'ma drown 'em out, Momma's standing around and shout
Black and white will make silver
Back up in the ref here, you ain't gonna count me out
I got hits, I do numbers
And you wonder how I'ma be the round about
I run circles around you, 'cause I've got the soul to do it
But no doubt that you'll kiss the ring
I don't got no bling, I don't even have pistons anymore
Got locked up, never put 'em back in
'Cause I grew up, I don't wanna gleam anymore
I don't want another man knowing what I've got
Or the cash I make or the things I afford
Tryna make rap for a living, save money
Not blow it all quick, I don't sing 'cause I'm bored
I'ma do it for my family man, I'ma be a happier family man
My family will never be in the plan
If I readily understand that I had what I need to bang
I can't be the remedy for the pain
Either that or I'll never be what I am in the head
I'm seeing a new battle ahead of me, wore pain
Never rattle my energy
'Cause I know I've got a lot of people depending on me to make it
I relay my pain here in these words
It became clear that my purpose here was to be angry and be heard
But I grew past that, therapy, it hangs in every verse
And as time went by made a legacy for the day I ever leave Earth
I'm an angel I guess, angel of death
Dangerous, maybe I'm stressed
Maybe 'cause I do too much
And I can't balance my life one day to the next
But I get through, what can I do
Either way I know I've gotta lay to rest
Everyone else they wanna say I'm blessed
That is no reason I should stay depressed
And I agree, I am just me
Maybe I'm someone I don't wanna be
Maybe I mess it up along the way
And I'm drowning to keep my head above the sea
My enemies, I do not see 'em
I've got enough on my plate to eat
I cannot stomach the thought of me never being hungry
Even if I cannot breathe, I am a glutenous man
If I want something, I'll get it, then I'll never want it as bad
Startling and mad
I see a path, and take another one to run in the sand
I was the kid you would see in the jacket
That would only wear it in the summer to class
When it was clad, ODD is I could be there the opposite whatever task
I don't know when to stop it all, I can't afford to drop the ball
It's final four, I'm playing dirty as I fear it's my one and only shot to call
I'm breaking your ankles, and running the clock
Someone's always gotta fall
I didn't make it this far to worry about another man and how he got along
Maybe I'm cold as ice, I am a product on my environment
I know the price, chiseled away at my shoulder and broke it
But if you're feeling lucky, roll the dice
I am not a man of chance, but I'll be money that you can afford is nice
You may be sharp, but I am a forge
I'm heating up and you just dull your knife
Man I really had a lot on my mind
But this is the only way that I can vent
Lately I've been feeling out of my time
And don't know how it even rather be spent
I've been looking for a big enough bank for me to deposit my reality check
I don't know what to believe in any more
I guess I'll wait for my mortality's end
But when I get it, I'ma be looking for answers
And I don't know where I'ma be
But 'til I get there I'll put it in stanzas
And I'ma leave you with these chapters
A life that I took and I captured
But look at my laughter, all of my pain
A will that just couldn't be mastered
Couldn't be mastered
Yeah
