[Verse 1]
State of emergency mental health need some urgency currently and it's certainly burning me to the 3rd degree
Mechanic went through surgeries, praying for em it's courtesy, everything falling apart since I left university, lost my grandmother at 22 may she rest in peace, got love for bessie lee, because she raised me
Tbh I failed the GRE / Adidas on my feet I run it I'm DMC / Pressed No Cash oh you bank wit PNC / Educate to Levitate ENT / Not official till you on DSPs / Keep it all under control vsc
FYI, It's human nature / For everyone you've ever known in life to be traitor / Hater, used to be a sports commentator/ Rap it so well was a mass comm major / Smart versatile clean rap trailblazer
This architect reaching new heights skyscraper / When you at this high elevation there's no neighbors
The way I'm chopping up the cheese only getting greater / On a streak 21 wins Undertaker / Loss a few hunnit scratch offs bad wager / From that moment been attached to my paper / State of emergency the world is in danger
[Hook]
This is dangerous, are they afraid of us / Shoot you up dead police we can't even trust/ Kick door no warrant saying drug bust / Made it past 21 that a blessing or luck
This is dangerous are they ashamed of us / After years of enslavement that's still not enough / No reparations in sight why we still got it rough / Ending this tradition I feel that in my gut, what?
[Verse 2]
State of emergency mental health need some urgency currently and it's certainly burning me to the 3rd degree
The president celebrity / We're viewed as a hilarity / Between us there's polarity / I'm serious you parody
Hurricane I really do not know who to blame / Natural disaster cause kinda arcane / December lost all inspiration feeling mundane / When I rise won't fall perfect souffle
Where was everybody I've ever been there for / When it come to helping people I was the core / Needed reciprocation and they were no more / I refuse to get on my knees and implore
Minimum wage for maximum effort labor / Nowadays you will get cancelled like Frasier / For being undercover racists like Kramer / State of emergency the world is in danger
[Hook]
This is dangerous, are they afraid of us / Shoot you up dead police we can't even trust/ Kick door no warrant saying drug bust / Made it past 21 that a blessing or luck
This is dangerous are they ashamed of us / After years of enslavement that's still not enough / No reparations in sight why we still got it rough / Ending this tradition I feel that in my gut, what?
