Seven

These bars like sharp edged weapons that leave scars
Sever through veins and arteries martyr these bleeding hearts
Part of me skeptical at the thought of a clean start, cuz I grew up playing the dirty dozens in seedy parks
And ironically now I get exceeding marks in wordplay
And a new crop of gray hairs on every birthday
Cuz I stay worried imma snap from the pressure
Got unprecedented urges to murder mics in the worst way
And first Sway heard the queen drop a 24, and then y’all finally undеrstood what I was stunting for
I’m a formidable behemoth for thе record, get em shook and disappear from off the grid to become hunting lore
Honey born from bittersweet beginnings; had to pay the cost
Them sharks and crocodillos tried to make me prey-Lacoste
But now I’m making waves with every verbal altercation, ain’t nobody trying to get entangled in these famous Jaws
A language connoisseur, got em savoring my soliloquies
Mastering the art of every letter like calligraphy
You can find me posted up wherever hiphop’s illest be
Showing off over the dopest of James Dilla’s beats
They want me to simmer down, think I’m too much Huey P
But they attacking my opinions cuz the hue in me
So imma black out on every verse I spit until anybody listening can speak Swahili fluently
Humans think I’m so damn Gorge like the Olduvai
Bone structure got em tryna recreate a mold of I
It’s too few originals left in the game that’s why I’m trying to leave a long lasting impression on my vocal files
The locals proud of their hometown hero
Roc make them step up their bars like old man Ebro
Bust a Hot97 on the air and have the whole place frozen at 30 below zero
