Vertical Runners

So if you knew me back in 2003
When I was still skinny and out of school, just lounging with Pete
Before Soundcloud it was Soundclick, just scrounging for beats
We’d freestyle for hours 'til it was time to go eat
I would devour a pizza, open sonic foundry and beast 3 tracks in 40 minutes. Mix it then save it to C:\
I got hard drives my team don’t know about
I mean unknown amounts of rap videos I made that they didn’t see
If you asked me then who you think's the greatest MC
There’s no changing in me
I would look at you straight and say that it’s me
Even people who hated me, they were still able to see
I fucking hate Rick but creatively I’m not as crazy as he

Flash to 2018 we still changing the speed
YOX is the illest out and now a whole generation agrees
I’m getting paper for my pen to paper, I’m taking a fee!
But you can catch me in a cypher, I’m never afraid of the free
Styling on these haters who challenge the team
Who keep claiming they have all this work that I haven’t seen
You stay playing all these games, running out of the steam
Leaving you twitching in front of your web cam, rerouting your stream
Man I don’t want fame anymore, I want bigger deposits
I wanna be rapping at 50 while I sit in a office
Eating chicken and sausage with a fly chick
Splitting the crawfish after a massage
Making money off a track as soon as I drop it

But this song: I just had to address some’n
So many people I know saying Rick you need to say some'n
I was on my facebook and someone is claiming that he the best one
Look this ain't a diss song, that actually made me respect him
I’m just getting pissed off that they discussin' it this long
'cause if the fucking list doesn’t have us in it, then it’s wrong
I could care less where my dinner is from
I love Kid Trunks but I'll still put a kid in a trunk
I think that it's time to share with you the mission of mine
As I travel you see the realism of life. I’m just thinking, damn
I'm just a jackie chan, another chink in their mind
But when I kick a rhyme, I switch 'em in a blink of an eye
You tripping if you keep thinking Rick is just a regular guy
This Rick from the YOX. I’m different with everything that I show to them
If we really trying to shake this asian prefix
Then why the fuck we keep placing ourselves in a manila folder then?

Fuck only asian rappers, I’m iller than all of them
If you disagree, DM, email, or call it in
I'ma murder this summer
Me and John became vertical runners
Climbing on stage so you heard of the come up
These artists stay fishing, they got hooks but what they reelin' up?
I don’t care if they don’t feel us, I don’t think that they real enough
Making electronic money like Diplo currently
Ox gang been tourin' (torrent) like cryptocurrency
Let's go
