That’s a Trip

[Intro: Illmac]
Yeah
Sk, uh, it’s gon’ be a long summer

[Verse 1: Illmac]
Yo, AC up tryna keep my cool
Told Chase this beat is smooth, let me breathe on that
Drop projects like convos between me and you
Sprng was first, this season two, I’m feeling seasoned too
I paint my world wit’ a 3D view, and once the art is finished its reception’s not for me to choose
I end up talking ‘til my cheeks are blue, running low on CPU
Trade speaking what I don’t like while highlighting things I do
But sometimes I give in to pettiness and let it win
Some rappers in my mentions, that ain’t worth mentioning
It never ends, I’m better than that, progression’s how I let ‘em live
Just knowing I could kill ‘em without effort proves I already did
Not everybody’s worth your time and energy, a higher pedigree
New rivals next to me and no one left, to define as enemies
They trying desperately to find serenity inside of dying memories
I keep my eyes ahead, doubled over by the bed
Saw my life flash, lungs closing tryna fight for breath
For all I know, shit I might be dead, stuck in limbo
Like how I’m a soul stuck inside this body, it’s just a rental
I must admit though, ain’t tryna leave yet
Me and bro got things left to resolve, we still ain’t speak yet
Saving progress, don’t hit reset
Too much heat left, just got my feet wet
To sum it up ain’t hit my peak yet
Feeling like

[Chorus: Illmac]
They ain’t fucking with me that’s a trip (that’s a trip)
That’s a trip, that’s a trip
They ain’t fucking with me that’s a trip (tripping)
That’s a trip, that’s a trip
Guess we cut from another cloth (that’s a trip)
Tell my opps to take the summer off (take the summer off)
My shit been hot, turn the oven off
It’s gon’ be a long summer (that’s a trip)
Tell my opps to take the summer off

[Verse 2: Illmac]
Uh, my bitch strapped like Lara Croft
Custom flow watch me float like a hoverboard
I hit the plug and somersault and get a couple off
Got so high I told the judge that I’m above the law
What ya’ cost, trust ya’ gut, when you feel something’s off
Did shows with my friends before Rachel ever fucked wit’ Ross
Sometimes you gotta cut ‘em off just to cut ya’ losses
My man rocked two Jesus pieces, they still double crossed him
That’s a trip, yeah, one above ain’t fucking with the clique
Nah, we ain’t on they radar but we lit
Yeah, turn ya’ whole armada to a blip, sink ya’ ship
Tidal wave, was a drip, got the drums, got the stick
For the bands I’m a monster, the iron maiden on my hip
I’m wide awake the coffee drip, they wit’ the talk I’m wit’ the shit
Get ya’ dogs I’m Michael Vick, they chihuahuas fighting pits
Life’s a bitch it’s mine to risk I wife the bitch and die for this
Bite the punches slice my wrist, bite the bullet and wipe the prints
And dive inside my mind’s abyss, try to find if life exists
Stab the slab of ice that’s hid behind my ribs grab the knife and twist
Operation time, swapping pain wit’ pride
One above, God is taking sides, wisdom lost from ancient tribes
Science fiction Doctor Frankenstein locked away inside
Doing tests on himself ‘til the monster came alive, ooh
The spirit took me over, told me push the culture
Holy Ghost writer whale on ‘em, like the Book of Jonah
The style godly outbox me, how? Clock me
Hands speak Kawasaki every shot bounce off me
Wrap my fists in gauze, punch through cinder blocks wearing rings RZA rock
Absorb energy and give it off like a spirit bomb
Cringe and cough clouds of city smog
Dickens fog and the winter frost
This the difference from a demagogue and a demigod
A supervillain, kill ‘em off
Yeah, thick skin, Killer Croc
I’m brilliance mixed wit’ brawn like Gorilla Grodd
Lip-syncing when I talk, transmitting my inner thoughts like

[Chorus: Illmac]
They ain’t fucking with me that’s a trip (they ain’t fucking with me?)
That’s a trip (ow)
They ain’t fucking with me that’s a trip (gotta be tripping)
That’s a trip (ooh)
Guess we cut from another cloth (that’s a trip)
Tell my opps to take the summer off (man take the summer off)
My shit been hot, turn the oven off
It’s gon’ be a long summer (that’s a trip)

[Outro: Illmac]
It’s gon’ be a long summer for a lot of y’all
What, what Jay say, he said “I made myself so easy to love”
When you hate yourself it’s hard to love somebody else, I don’t blame you
It’s like, that’s a trip
