Stoic

[Verse 1]
It's been a minute since I decided to write again
Residing in the lion's den and fighting for the final breath
Sky's the limit, my horizon's looking grey
And my thoughts are always cloudy guess that route is a mistake
I'm frowning at the thousands of these fans that all exclaim
For the next rapper dangled stuck shackled and chained
To these record contracts, rapping for the fame
Stand 'em in a line see their stature is the same
Fucking Mannequins
I'm cracking at their frames 'till adamantine breaks
Or my daddy is ashamed
Mind your business, please remain seated
You shouldn't praise me, I could never deserve this
Irrelevant words like a dent in a circuit
Piece together all the puzzle as you remember my verses
Credible wordsmith, forgettable person
But lacking in an image Is just practically a gimmick
Trapped at every angle and infatuated with it
So I'm running till I'm lost or I have to pray forgiveness
She's balletic, pirouette inside my silhouette
Lion heart, pigeon chest
Give this kid a cigarette
Wear lipstick for the kiss of death
And sit stiff as it tickles flesh
You only think you're blessed
And then the cycle repeats
But regardless I'm just a maverick
Mad hatters duff their cap to him
Savage with a plan to win
But when people see the picture all they try to do is caption it
Kraken tryna capture ships
The captain is romanced with it
I never understood my attraction to death
Sowing seeds for the scythe, and it's swinging unforgiving till there is only a fraction of me left
Find me in my safe house
In the clouds there's no way down
Strange how your circle never stays round
