CHORUS
A.M.O's demons are real
They telling me to quit rap
I'm telling them kiss my ass
I'm on my grind while you sleep
I'm tryna get an award
We hustle hard in these streets
It's going down scream mayday
When they start to hate then we made it
Yeah
E_fflux demons are real
They telling me to quit rap
I'm telling them kiss my ass
I'm on my grind while you sleep
I'm tryna get an award
We hustle hard in these streets
It's going down scream mayday
When they start to hate then we made it
VERSE 1 (E_FFLUX)
Mayday, mayday, mayday
Coming through construction underway
Building state of mind, That heavy line of thought that Q&A
They ask me how I'm doing, where I'm going, I'm like namaste
On that Kendrick flow, Like I got it in my DNA, so I relate
By reciprocating, creating and demonstrating with patience
In anticipation for the days, when I'm gonna flip the pages
And look back was worth the waiting
Scratch that, it ain't worth complaining
Even if I never make it, That thought I'm eliminating
Purge, erase
So I got to the point in my life when I realized
The only one able to stop me is me
Sometimes I can't take, yeah I get frustrated
I write down my lyrics then suddenly hate 'em
Been waking up feeling like I'll never make it
By pacing myself with someone I ain't racing
While they celebrating
Now I'm embracing my flaws and I'm changing my ways
BRIDGE
Hold on wait a minute got the realest in the building outchea finna make a livin
While the haters keep on talking we get busy with our business
Man we all about the pressure
We ain't quitting end of topic no discussion
CHORUS
E_fflux demons are real

When they start to hate then we made it
A.M.O's demons are real
They telling me to quit rap

We hustle hard in these streets
It's going down scream mayday
When they start to hate then we made it
VERSE 2 (A.M.O)
This ain't the game for the weak
The criticism is high
Like 7 days in the role
My state of mind is at peace
I already knew you were fake
I dumb it down for their sake
They wait on me just to slack
You have to wait till I die
They hate on me because am black
Racial comment or fact
Nobody gives it a thought
You give the rap game your all
And then they say that you wack
They probably can't even rap
Your state of mind is at lose
You always taking the L
You want us to take it with you
Men this the league for champs
You have to sweat Just to get in
Bring up the bars and the rhythm
Telling yourself that you gat this
Deep down you doubt that you get in
My state of mind Won't stop me
365 we stay lit
