This is the second single and the second track from The Royalty EP. This song is supposed to capture me when I was in the second stage of my very depressed / dark mind state and despite me failing to do so before… starting to slightly escape my depression, anxiety and inner fears. At this stage I’m...
[Verse 1]
Tired of the bs finna lash out, storm brewing, slight thunder in the background
Head up in the clouds, thinking bout the odds I face now but I came way too far just to back out
Seen people that I love take the snake route, this worlds evil and we in the devil's playground
Day by day all a nigga get is hate, doubt and a reminder of the stakes now at play now
Which is why I got to up the ante.. cause these doubters wait for you to call it wraps like candy
Ain’t stopping till a nigga high as space no dandy and known in the city like a vigilante
They can’t stand me cause they don’t understand me, always been too different for a basic pansy
Always been too creative, always been to fancy, they count me out now but pretty soon they’ll stan me
My courage was fading but now I’m unshaken, they ain’t on my level: we is not adjacent
If you got a problem I’ma treat it like equations and solve it, I’m the wrong nigga to be facing
PE$O told me just to channel my hatred, Shofu told me get em so I gotta go and break em by the dozen, by the hundreds:
4:20 I’ma blaze em… if you searching for the bodies, deep In the basin you’ll trace em
I done stared death in the face like clementine, I done contemplated ending it all a couple times
Got people talking down swear they sour: lemon lime, but as the weeks pass I just strengthen my inner mind
Royalty in my blood since birth I been divine, I’m coming for what’s mine if you waste my fucking time
They’ll be a brand new investigation on CSI, not telling lies, bird in the cage: won’t let it fly
Musical murder is what I commit.. this journey been rough man I got to admit
But I made a damn promise and so I must win, got alot on my shoulders I cannot give in
Nigga I’m willing to die for this shit, word to Kanye son you cannot fuck with my clique
Swear on everything soon I’ll be running this shit, I’ma stay on my shit so keep running your lips
[Bridge]
I done been through it all, through the worst I’ve survived
I done been through it all, through the worst I’ve survived
If you live in fear of conflict then you ain’t living life
If somebody dares to cross you, boy you stand up and fight [x2]
[Verse 2]
Envious people stay running they mouth
Call my boys up if it ever goes south
I’m stacking my bread / blowing up with the clout
If you can’t see the vision your eyes getting gouged
Made more than a thou- from this music shit
No cap... I put that shit in PayPal
Not looking to date, I don’t need no distractions
She want to chill I said “ciao”
I might stab you in your spleen (yea)
In the sky you see my fleet (yea)
Got too many enemies (yea)
Got too many enemies (yea)
They said I was nothing that I will be nothing
So I guess that we’ll see (yea)
Will a young nigga persevere and beat the odds
Well I’m thinking probably (yes)
