Verse:
Peep the passion, i dealt with confliction
Nigga, it's terrible... so why would i not
Speak on the issues, you niggas knock me for
Speakin the truth, that mug is hysterical...
Y'all used to niggas spittin lyrics that'll help you
Hit a spliff, i mean i get it, but you low as a the
Limbo when when they be lowering
Sticks, my nigga you high, but a butterfly flies, y'all
Some temporary niggas, but i'm here to stay, you
Niggas is Derrick Rose... here for seasons... nigga I hear
You breathing, i'm a threat to yo community
You feel the treason, like a hot block...
Got these niggas playin hop scotch when i
Walk the streets, all i gotta do is watch..
Spots, and niggas run from the vibe, as if a nigga
Carried heat, but all i need is life im Doc... Oc
Handing out multiple lessons... the overview of
Me is like old school 11, Jordan is timeless... and
Though my pockets screamin' "dimeless", I be
Yellin' out my mouth to what may seem to you
Recited pain... I just came to tell you niggas
Though I spit ignited flames, truthfully the goal
Had always been to be... priceless... from the head
To the toe... to the point where niggas bite the
Flow enough to where they spreadin love too...
My nigga fly, it's the butterfly effect, come
Comprise a compromise to use another mindset
We got purpose nigga...
I feel my purpose then i always fulfill
Peep the passion nigga, you can see it all be
Revealed, nigga's up late nights, trynna write a
Product of steel, that could slay my old songs
With a quality feel, I level up ain't no one hit rapper
I write until it's perfect, ain't no content rapper
I try delivering content, to uplift rappers, shouts
To cole, if he knew me, he would want this rapper
Im bussin', but don't nobody wanna accept, this
Nigga Lyles on his way up, but trust me I bet, when
Niggas start doin the shows, and sparkin up
Interviews, all the niggas that done doubted
Gon be showin respect, my nigga pay yo homage
I tried to tell you from jump, you should bump a
Nigga music, but you slept the jig is up, now the
Best of me is showing and you trynna grapple
Hook on the bandwagon, kinda like KD did
Westbrook sheesh, i been humble for a minute
But that mug never work
I been spreadin love to niggas that want
Blood on my shirt, but im off that... stickin to
Plan that i got, when i get paid, won't nobody
Know the bands that I got... it's a disconnect
Jay Z said it best, most the nigga that ain't got
It be the ones thats trynna flex, so tell me how
I fall in the category of fakeness, the only thing
Im bringin is real in terms of yo playlist, i'm balanced...
From mindset to energy, peep the pallet
Either you flyin' with it or enemy, cuz truthfully
The thought of a lying lil nigga endin' me is
Doubted... but y'all choose the lost niggas over
Talent, man... i mean yea im not gon stress on
Approval... but until I get my playing time
Nigga you can bet Ima doodle down all the
Nonsense, like niggas in a moshpit vibin' to a
Dumb nigga 'stead of something conscious
My nigga food for thought, chew on this
My nigga this is brain food, i'm a true artist
Don't nobody want the truth, but the truth
Gon' spit, I'm the Truth, let it shine, nigga you
Are Chris, everyone hate you, childish niggas
Getting that play up on the radio, mainstream
Spitters, but them niggas ain't gon tame
Yo soul, face it though nigga, that's the
Mindset of the masses, so why should I
Complain until I'm makin dough my
Nigga peep the passion...
