lyrics

what you want money? I don't have that...
but I do have a brain with a flow that's fast..
do have zilla and he don't have half ass....
when it comes to the dope never hold back rap...
hit them with the bar that'll knock'm in the chest..
it'll be a problem when you rocking with the best...
hold up..if I could interject...I could be a killer, in a sec..
been a wreck...had to take a minute just to get a...rest../
isn't jest...bad thoughts bubble like a winter vest.../
inch by inch I get that living and giving not getting checks...

know that naturally that I'm gon' need a salary...
wanna play but I have to sleep...
mold me a masterpiece before I'm old and atrophied...
that's how it goes have the knack..but no backing ...
(yeah)...it's a roller coaster slowed backward...
it's goes on and on it's so elaborate.../
but I've been shown the throne and I alone will know...
if we go toe-to-toe ..you won't last ...kid..
match thrown and tossed like a cold..sal-ad..../
had to dust'm like an old mattress.../
rowing a boat with no ballasts..shit..

-walking down the hall of life and looking for doors...
the key I'm trying isn't working but it took it before .../
I didn't panic or break the handle ..he just took him a tour..


What you want fam? that's not likely.../
yet there's so many lanes try to stop my speed..
people get cockeyed when they see popeye green../
while I jot all thoughts that my plotline reads../
all you gotta do is more present ../
it's a gift when you give it like store credit../
where you're headed is more important and it authentic../
bullheaded never move from my core ethic../
sure the thieves full of greed make me nauseas../
take heed before they breeze into office../
hard to see when the things are the darkest../
follow me I will lead you to promise../
land..gotta calm it fam../
you see it baby, like a sonogram.../
that common man's a charlatan..
conning like hologram...gobbling the dollars and../
it's all a sham...but you knew that right?...
success is there ..when your head is clear..and the lesson here is...
you can fight../
put up your dukes....pull up your boots...muster the nerve that couldn't recruit..//
do what you want b/c the good is in you..if you couldn't deduce..your pudding's the proof../
i built the house then I stood on the roof...swam in a pond that you couldn't pollute...


-walking down the hall of life and looking for doors...
the key I'm trying isn't working but it took it before .../
I didn't panic or break the handle ..he just took him a tour..
