about

A simple intro for the record.

lyrics

Let's see, how do I start this? Better yet, how do I say this? Be an introvert and hide the hurt that some of these rhymes won't make it on your playlist. The party scene seem so basic. That's why I appear so faceless. No Ice, no chain, just an old mane, talking hip-hop like it's the damn temptations. Calling me a killer when I want peace. Swallow my pride as I get no sleep. Wonder what happened to all my peeps? I was to boring and they gotta breathe. (Inhale/Exhale) Blessed be. Take that drama away from me. Putting my hands up where I can see. Tryna bust a rhyme before I preach. Love my art, but hate the presence. Yeah that's a strong positive message for the domestic that invest in the best with an open chest and they hope they soul can rest. Instead I protest for the focused, makin' no less than progress, Progress to the dirty dance, risky business stroll, knowing the music aint got the same soul. But naw, ain't nobody gon' hear that. Entertain kid, that's where the bills at. Can you pay my? Can you save my? Spend mine for the honeys with the fat backs, but since that dream didn't last. I only get attention if I rap fast. Stuck in the fast lane, tryna move past getting whiplash, bleed fast in this campaign. That rhyme of a chosen few. Will you listen to me If I don't look like you? Yeah I was with that crew. They seperated now I lost in sand dunes. Tryna find a home with a view, but I'm new, so I gotta earn my dues and collect it. Never judge by the cover. The fuck am I lookin' at? I'm looking at 'My Otherwise' and tryin to protect it. Tryin to heal fast and to kill pain. Little stubborn pride in the still can't. I ain't anti-social or postal, just tryna put a bullet in this blood hungry wolf, mane. Never seem plain or to maintain. That means I still got a little sane. Fightin' all these critics and cynics that wanna gimmick all of my lyrical rhymes from my membrane. Wanna you gotta be so different? That treat you so damn insignificant. Lie down and be that hypocrite. Be the famous dry mouth that can't spit. Been appreciated many records like this. Aw shit, that an understatement. But if my rhymes ever come so basic, then skip to the next shit. (Radio Static.)
