old school the way i see greats see grace over
beat breaks place them chips on the table, but you ain't fucking
with the pots that he takes everybody relates
seems strange, playing time i'm in all three games
never tell you what i'm going to do
a bit of what’s happened got my eyes holding their due
now grains of sand drop through the hourglass, i watched what's made lose,
the materials merely a blade of grass in a monsoon
my calm soothes no matter what they call you
chicks is spinning round my poll the way a tether ball moves
be the air that feathers fall through colors all blue
indigo travels, with indica that I put my claws through
indicative of a body that works i body
your body of work, godly berserk when busting a verse
like lodi dodi, we like to party
buckle up my subaru moves faster then your bugatti
pushing petals like opiates in a vessel
loki when i okie doke folks who try to meddle
never settled my devils so i’m always on my mettle
kettle on, meltin every medal like i’m mao zedong
revolutionize the culture, 30 percent bad puffin on the ultra
passin to no vultures, but i ain’t tryna insult ya
i’m just speaking the truth
making dead presidents, i’m john wilkes in the booth
all in when i swoop like a coup d’etat
swerving in a coupe like a serpent serving food for thought
yall say i flew the coop cuz soon as i introduce a thought
y’all blew a clot turned your girl into a thot don’t misconstrue it dawg
i don’t pray to god or golden idols like the bible writes
i’m out of sight like final rites, or blinded mice,
i’ll knock you out like iron mike, bring the heat like fire fights
then soothe your soul like edelweiss
fuck your chick six feet above you getting lucky in them daisy dukes
the way she sucks me making me think she used to play the flute
they just some basic dudes, never known for raising roofs
michelangelo inside a chapel when I paint the booth
moving back to advance matt mcconaughey in bad ads
dangerous as angel dust or a jailhouse to a white ass crack
pass it back and forth like me and miles up on the damn track
take a hit, get you wet like denzel with the last laugh
or dexter with saran wrap, acid in my spinal fluid
futures full of flash backs, war veteran kind of lucid
findin cupid when i'm stupid off moonrocks in any time I choose
the doctor when they asking who, solving while they lack the clues
trying to scope the rear so I merely say 'after you'
