playing Art Blakey, legs a little shakey
you start talking shit but i can’t let it phase me
cause i’m gifted with a talent that’s gon make people hate me
lay out the blueprint, one day big as Jay-Z
doubt it but imma try cause my goals is through the roof
write it out now maybe one day I can live as proof
raised on white lies now it’s hard to tell the truth
used to, got my ass whooped, then got called a coof
my insta got hacked, that’s why I stay off them socials
away from all the drama, now i'm Al going postal
no Greene, or Joe Mean, i’m strictly Kobe Bean
esteemed, fuck epstein, and James Dean, i’m trying to be a king
to this music shit it’s the only thing i need
hanging with the homies, slowly planting seeds
playing everything I knew hoping that they’d see
now they catching on the what i’m trying to
where i’m from we taught to be tough, keep to yourself hope nobody call your bluff
lost a lot, left a little, stayed somewhere in the middle
remained tame lesser known, but ain’t ashamed to claim my home uh
daydreaming in the dark never end up where I start
right beside the music she the next best part
less boom bap, more smooth jazz
catch me bumping Madlib in the lab
bump bumps in my head
bump bumps in my head sounding like whiplash
put my people on that’s the only thing that matters
how to make it to the top without climbing ladders
did it for some years but it didn’t really flatter
drinking so much it starting to hurt my bladder
life give me lemonade I mix it with that bourbon
sip it, let it roll out, shout-out George Gervin
stay in your lane, cause i’m coming through swervin
one eyed captain like my name Earnie Irvan
she think she broke my heart but it really isn’t hurting
helped me write more raps, that’s the only thing disturbing
tried to have me killed but your boy still living
ex did me dirty like i’m Scottie fucking Pippen
rock and roll is dead but the lifestyle still livid
i’ll be tripping down where John Lennon is hidden
try to go to sleep but the rhythms never stop
got me kinda hot, I just work a lot
stopped smoking pot can’t let my mind rot
they used to call me lazy, but i’m always at the spot
my hat on backwards, glasses on crooked
gave a broke dude money so he get gas with it
no post on the gram cause it ain’t nobodies business
ain't nothing but paper, I don’t really need no witness
she said she need a man with more depth
so i drowned her ass in the lake, no stress
where you at when i’m trying to see you
first time in four years that i’ve been single
just got a girl who might be mad if she heard that
might cut her off she a lil too pro-vax
caught covid once but it really won’t all that
fucked me up a few days but i bounced right back
like a peaky blinder I might just take your vision
looking too good might just eat it in the kitchen
had them new jays but they was flights, not cool
yo bitch saw me once, mesmerized, Ja Rule
she even call me cute when i’m sitting on the stool
winked at that hoe, now she wetter than a, woah
