This record was created as a way to signify the official return of STREET LIGHT. In a recent statement, he is quoted saying:
“ALL BARS” is not good enough anymore. Clap for these kids who can lay a decent verse down, but when they start talking crazy about where they stand in the game, staging free...
[Hook]
I heard them boys talking bout me
Yea, I see them too
But they don't ever come around me
Cuz what we might do
And if your team is rolling deep, then
You can bring them through
Matter fact, go get everybody
You gone need them too
And if you ever been about it, then you know what I mean
You better watch it for you end up taking one for the team
I really mean it, I been seeing everything that you say
I'm coming back and now I think it's time to put you away
[Verse 1]
I feel like: Who the competition?
It's looking nonexistent
Oh now you getting views?
I guess I must've missed it
I guess I wasn't listening
I kept you at a distance
They only like you for the age you at
You better learn the difference
You better sell your image
Your songs unimpressive
That's my lane, these new kids
Headed in the wrong direction
All y'all been good for is cyphers-
I been there, I did it better
Them 16s just light work, I prove it like...
Hello, it's me, And I'm back with a vengeance
The rapping is vintage
Sit back and imagine and sip this--
No filler in it, for the men that would've been black
I ain't wanna be "tracked" with an imprint
Quit rap? Please
That wouldn't make sense if I went and got a bag full of incense
Don't mean to be pretentious
The team is mean and vicious
I'm back in form, and I'm rapping more than the eve of Christmas
They say don't ask for permission first, just seek forgiveness. But you should be concerned when I purposely leave a witness
Now run and tell the others-- down, and they held me under-- rappers disappearing faster than Iggy Azalea's numbers. They kicked the bucket. More pale than Iggy Azalea's color. If we don't pass when it's missing class, we've failed each other
I know it's frightening
Couldn't borrow my flow with a siphon
Don't hype your man's garbage-- you just lying in the middle like a hyphen--
Alright, then
Christ is the only king, this a different kind of ting-- plus, somebody gotta reign when it's lightning
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I roll with J and then He know
Tryna kill off my ego
Put it all on the line like
I'm just making my free throws
I'm just saying where we go
Is more than you've ever seen
I guess that's just how it be, though
I'm showing up at the scene
Which one of you want to try me?
Yall having trouble deciding
If we could ever be king
I'd be Martin Luther, you're Rodney
I'm bringing that fire, man. I can see the greatness inside me
And speaking of trampolines, I been looking to catch a body
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Who popping it off?
We hopping the wall
Your left hand, the sledgehammer
I'm copping a saw
Even when I'm rusty, I'll steel have you locking your jaw
The new year is here and y'all still dropping the ball?
It's my. Time, Square. All I did was grind--yea. Did it with no contacts. I ain't. finna sign there. That ain't a shot. But a lot of rappers dyed hair. I don't need a gimmick, I just get it, y'all get got. Scared
But If you want to get into a battle
Know I keep a couple of vaults and when both got unlimited ammo, get ready for the enemy channeled in the inner me finna be at you like a Twitter-ing handle
Becoming the villain was more imminent
More benefit with a feeling I can't hand you
When it get dim in the traps, the light gon' top what you put on wax. No candle
But I'm hot
And I got it locked, so that's Judo. Authentic, no pseudo
CEO with no suit on
They don't like that I run things, ain't nothing you can do, though
Put you in a box before a coup like sudo
