Back in My Ways

Lookin' like an elephant in your vision
Stand too close you aint in position
To see me in all my greatness and listen
Your trust was all i was wishin'
Cringe when i made music to go fishin'
It was neither good nor efficient
I was boutta sign myself into prison
Tryna make me into something that isn't
We, be, of a new breed
Paper stackin' off artistry
We aint come this far to see
The end in the middle of an odyssey
No modesty, no boss to me
Aint a cost to me, my arsenal deep
And all of my hittas got plenty vendettas
And we will not let up till all you deceased
I'll be honest
I'm no savant or odonis
I just cook crack with sonics
Still puffin' mad chronic
Been tested like hydroponics
On a mix or spittin' these sonnets
This special cloth and i don it
Flaunt it, smooth like gin and tonic
Been sick now I'm bubonic
Talk a lot shit you don't want it
Empty the clip if we responding
All of my demons stay respawnin'
All of my heathens carpet bombin'
ADT these beats alarmin'
Cream of the crop i never stop farmin'
All around the world like i stay with Carmen
I see you back there i'm the hip hop Darwin
I am no longer accepting the minimum
What is you dealin' em
Lyin' you feelin' em
Gassin' up trash like its fire you killin' em
Jus to make pennies for you to go stealin' em
Fuck you, yeah i'm mad
Feelin entitled to get in my bag
Talkin' like you been with us in the lab
That is some bullshit i just cannot have

Slide through memory lane
Through all the joy and the pain
Never a pawn, i been a king, all in my strain
Started with nothing and found me a name
I'm bout respect aint no games
Nothing has changed
Promise my hunger the same
Now look at me
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me, you got me
Back in my ways

I am supreme no one can replace
Livin the dream and its all that i chase
Baggin' and stackin' it all off the taste
There is no competition nor haste
I don't talk much i aint fuelin' debates
There is no question i'm earning my place
Insult or praise i'm stoned in the face
I don't feel nothin' not even a trace
Save all that run around
I just need dope when i come around
I'm like a fiend when he's comin' down
Except u gimmie the best or i turn it down
I guess i digress, am i that person now
Life got me rushin' now
On a paper plane never touchin' down
Call my girl just to bust it down
Not too many i'm trustin' now
Growin' up
Half the effort is showin' up
And the other is knowin' you'll never know enough
Pressure goin' up
Pray, some day, we can slow it up
Breathe, finally, open up

I think what's buggin' us the most is how long
We let the bullshit control the moves we make, the chances we take, for who's sake
If there's one thing i can leave you with it's, do you, jus do you, no excuse

We don't go for the hype, we no longer the type
Not again in this life, fuck a view or a like
Look at those who take time out to type
Or write, handin' us roses while we're still in sight
Let those and ya bros be the reason you fight
Feed multiple fams off the right
To pushin' agendas we mixin' like blenders
Reciprocate, orchestrate, motivate
All off the mic

Slide through memory lane
Through all the joy and the pain
Never a pawn, i been a king, all in my strain
Started with nothing and found me a name
I'm bout respect aint no games
Nothing has changed
Promise my hunger the same
Now look at me
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me, you got me
Back in my ways

You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me back in my ways
Go hard anytime any place
You got me, you got me
Back in my ways
