My vision be a blade that’s getting sharper still
With every strike against the flint, i’m far more prone to kill
If that flint i mentioned happens to be b#llsh#t that you keep on spittin
Best believe i’m comin for your throat (ay! ay!)
I operate when i’m still in the black
Y’all better move back, cause i’m on the attack
True, i’ve never been the strongest
Oh, but my pride, it keeps me on the roll
I never quit, ain’t down with it
So don’t look at me like it’s lunchtime, b#tch
I’ll switch it up in front of you
It’s like i got an itch that i cannot scratch
My idеas, they come in batch
I’ve nеver met a bar i could not match
But it all goes away when i write my drafts
And so this itch i have is itching to become a better rapper
But i’m trapped behind my doubts and thoughts that torment me like trapper
Out of breath, running thin
Fear the walls are closing in
Gotta push ‘gainst this sh#t
Gotta live, this isn’t it
So i retreat and write
Making songs throughout the night
Get me up, get this out
If not, i’ll never see the light, ay!
Out of breath, running thin
Fear the walls are closing in
Gotta push ‘gainst this sh#t
Gotta live, this isn’t it
So i retreat and write
Making songs throughout the night
Get me up, get this out
If not, i’ll never see the light, ay!
Push against the walls of my psyche, guess we
Live in a cage we constructed, that means
If i decide that i want to break free
The only thing preventing me from doing that is just me
Justly, if i wanna break this self-made
Mind game, i would have to craft my keys, but as
Time hangs in the balance of my actions
Then it’s payday, gotta pay back my sins
I’m not weak, nor i’m strong
But i’ve gotta crack this code
Time is slowed, in beast mode
This cycle never gettin old
Catch a cold from this flow
While i shiver in my cell
I ignore all my problems
Cause i focus on my work (yeah)
Nothing you can tell me ever gonna make me warmer
All alone, i guess it’s my fault i’ve become a f#cking cynic
Outta options for my peacefulness
I’m reaching for my happiness
These walls are closing in around me
So i struggle, feels i’m out of
Out of breath, running thin
Fear the walls are closing in
Gotta push ‘gainst this sh#t
Gotta live, this isn’t it
So i retreat and write
Making songs throughout the night
Get me up, get this out
If not i’ll never see the light, ay!
Out of breath, running thin
Fear the walls are closing in
Gotta push ‘gainst this sh#t
Gotta live, this isn’t it
So i retreat and write
Making songs throughout the night
Get me up, get this out
If not i’ll never see the light, ay!
