In a world where hate is easier to express than love, we tend to go through a lot of overwhelming pressure as we pursue our dreams. Along the road, we very often times find ourselves in the midst of the naysayers, the fakes and the entitled. Renegade is a piece of E_fflux’s experience on his journey...
[VERSE 1]
Young Renegade
E_fflux in the building looking menacin
You know I'm on a row, no Marilyn
Presidential flow, I am a candidate of never ending growth,exuding confidence, let's take it to a poll now
Pit my drive against reality,The vision that inspires me against the undeniably
Unsupportive people that are questioning my fire please
Pit the odds against me, but that doesn't even matter, Homie
Coz I'm in myPrime, flip a dime.. you can call the side
But I'm heading to the top, will you be tailing from behind?
You decide... homie you decide...
Coz I'm rolling on this train and I ain't slowing down for nothing coz I'm
Back and I'm better, now stronger than ever, (Yuh)
Rapping the illest, I'm reppin the realest, (Facts)
Doing my business, to stack up the digits, (Racks)
Hunting the treasure more viscious than ever
So I'm playing by my own rules
Niggas finna get a hold on me but I was born free
No they can't control me, No please!
Got em on my own leash
Cold me, never got no love when I was on knees
Many people rather watch they own bleed
While I pay attention to the hustle all they wanna see is more memes ...See who gon be laughing when I'm holding up my trophies Woah!
[PRE Chorus]
They call me the renegade
Take shots no lemonade
Finna get a taste of that glory (Poppin!)Savor it, (Woo!)
They call me the renegade (Yuh!)
Can't nobody stop me!(Let's turn it up!)
Y'all niggas be trippin if you thought that you could hold me
[Chorus]
Bang bang tell em ay catch me if you can...
Want my freedom hanging by a thread
Rolling with the fakes yeah they be eat all my daily bread,(Say Again?) People that be leaching yeah you heard of them (Hell yeah)Drop a Nigga...
Yeah I play by own rules, Listen my soul's tune
Can’t nobody tell me what I wanna do,(Wanna do x3)
And if they be standing in my way, just tell em that a nigga coming through...
[VERSE 2]
Okay drop in down for a second...
Listen up class is in session...
Most of these niggas would love to be part of success but omit the whole journey
That "do not forget about me when you poppin but never believed in me once
Man I made you! you're nothing without me!"
You didn’t even throw me a bone
Well I'm glad coz I learned to survive..
People feel entitled to the benefits but all they claims baseless...
Want a piece of that amazing greatness...
...But the hustle's all weightless, clock still racing, time's escaping
Compensated by the lessons for the taking
Had to be a renegade not basic
Stand tall now I'm climbing to the top of the ladder it's so amazing
...Every day's a different journey though we don’t know what our fate is, I'll be damned to let them, let them take my dream away
Coz the model of the struggle is the beast that's in the making now I'm taking every blessing y'all cursing nigga
[PRE Chorus]
They call me the renegade
Take shots no lemonade
Finna get a taste of that glory (Poppin!)Savor it, (Woo!)
They call me the renegade (Yuh!)
Can't nobody stop me!(Let's turn it up!)
Y'all niggas be trippin if you thought that you could hold me
[Chorus]
Bang bang tell em ay catch me if you can...
Want my freedom hanging by a thread
Rolling with the fakes yeah they be eat all my daily bread,(Say Again?) People that be leaching yeah you heard of them (Hell yeah)Drop a Nigga...
Yeah I play by own rules, Listen my soul's tune
Can’t nobody tell me what I wanna do,(Wanna do x3)
And if they be standing in my way, just tell em that a nigga coming through...
[OUTRO]
Renegade season I promise
Watch for the storm, yeah I’m coming
Probably settled too long on this topic but I’m just being honest
I’m sick to my stomach so all of the nonsense I vomit
Then mop up my place till it’s spotless
Ain’t gonna be caught in the madness that darkens the spirit
Don’t wanna be heartless
...Ain’t nobody knowing when this outlaw’s working
...Keep it low key, coz the Marvel’s in the verdict
...Say they don’t believe in me I tell em that it’s alright
...Even with the odds, I stay determined... Bang!
