[Intro]
Cmon, Cmon
Yo
Travelled a long time, I done figured out a couple things in my life and uhh...
Well, to be honest, I got the secrets to the universe over here
I got the keys to life in the palm of my reality you know
And I'm expressing to you
See, to defeat the man, you gotta deceive the man but in order to believe the man you gotta feed the hand (Got it)
In order to feed the hand, you gotta be the man, but in order to be the man you gotta feed the hand (Right)
But if you be the man, you gotta lead the land and please the fam, but in order to please the fam (uh) you gotta heed the plan and be the man to feed the hand (wait but..)
In order to feed the hand you can't deceive the man that would defeat the plan you need to feed the hand (Hol up, hol up)
To be the man you need to lead the land and feed the hand (wait, wait, wait...)
To be the man you need to lead the land and feed the hand (You get it? God damn)
[Verse 1]
You dont know who you fooling with
I grew up a hooligan
Trying to change my route a bit
On the verge of losing it
Can't believe I grew in, ain't choosing it I was recruited in
Ima find the root of it
Ain't nobody tutoring
They blocking me baby, I'm still an optimist daily
But I been wallowing trying to get me some prominence lately
And every mood I'm in makes me want to get dominance baby
Overconfident? Maybe. That's just the honour that made me
You know I know my limits
Overbid it
Know my ending
Overdid it
Travel back trying to find the bottom of the real me
Everything's a trap, swear my home's tryina kill me
I just play along, make my songs, dont forget me
Plus I throw a lot of bones, I'm not Godly but I'm cleanly
Placed my hands together but the line's still busy
Hollow be the town looking empty
[Hook]
Still walk my land
Talk my plan
Caught, it's looking like my fault again
Honor to my people tryina fit in in my city
Placing homage over dollars, never taught to win
Still walk my land
Talk my plan
Caught, it's looking like my fault again
Honor to my people tryina fit in in my city
Placing homage over dollars, never taught to win

[Verse 2]
Cousin told me I should come around because it's safer now
Told him the place that brought me in be trying to take me out
Used to climb the roof to try and see the world around me
Try to hold my ground but these people they surround me
These creatures all around me, and if I'm to be down I got to keep on my surroundings
Ima lift my kingdom up, that's if they will allow me
Or Ima be the illest one, that's if they try to down me
Walk like it's my nerves
Talk like I'm concerned
Ima act on my word
Hard right on the turn
Lost my bike on the kerb
Had my place fought on the kerb
Won my bike on the kerb
Early lesson I learned
I got brighter though, hard to stay ahead of the curve
That ain't my life no more, Ima take it straight to the urn
Only one way to earn, I keep my funds on reserve
I know some men got they turn, feel like they got shit to purge
I swear my story been worse
Why come I can't get my verse?
I get more badges for asking
Won't get more dough in my basket
I learned to live with my rations
I pushed my face out the earth
They digging holes for my kinfolk
Can't be the one they depend on
I pay to much for my stylo
Been trying to look like my worth
My young'un claim I'm his hero
He say I look like a perp
I put my dream on the fir
They told me hold it down
People that try to phone me still don't know me call me homie now
Met up with my cousin, told me I should come around because it's safer, how?
Told him the place that brought me in be trying to take me out
Used to climb the roof to try and see the world around me
Try to hold my ground but these people they surround me
These creatures all around me, and if I'm to be down I got to keep on my surroundings
Ima lift my kingdom up, that's if they will allow me
Or Ima be the illest one, that's if they try to down me
That's all I'm saying
