Obama '08
I'm tryna settle down with never settling
Cut off all my hoes, I had to dead the flings
I pray I ain't Carmelo and I get a ring
I'm changing up my habits, doing better things
People talkin to me bout that vegan life
But these taco trucks they always seem to gleam at night
Tres tacos de cabeza with the beans and rice
Solamente cinco dolares, can't beat the price, yeah
Lately I've been appalled, things are getting bizarre
The country about to fall, he talkin bout buildin walls
Down for border patrol, but the fact here remains
Majority of the undocumented came here in planes
I'm making a name, want the throne, I'm taking my aim
I'm straight to the brain, surgically observing the game
And swerving the lanes, lyrically for sure he insane
I'm like a piggy bank, man, the way I'm workin for change
Like Obama in '08 I feel like a winner
When he stepped in front of that glass, man, I thought they would kill him
Like they did to Trayvon, ooh, his death was revealing
They try to ignore our blues while they copy our rhythm
Man, stop me, I'm trippin, they prolly gotta lock me in prison
Like convicts that did it, I stand behind my bars and I meant it
I talk with intention and I walk it out, gotta dig it
Like Andy Dufrane in the Shawshank Redemption
I ain't met a rapper that can rap like me
Not a cuss word yet, flow blessed like geez
Do this in my sleep, every line I speak
Packed with metaphoric depth tight like sardines
A wise man said dead fish follow streams
So if my plays ain't in the millions yet, I'm not worried
I'm just building teams with my brother Reid
Couple chips off the block with some LLCs
Honestly, it bothers me - they used to not acknowledge me
And now they wanna talk to me but first I need apologies
My policy is honesty - come correct and properly
I never needed college, B - my daddy made a prodigy
Like Iliad and Odyssey, I'm ill when I write
Homie on another level, boy he skilled with the mic
I think I need me a Penelope - a real one to wife
I'm coming in a Trojan horse, man I'm killin these guys
That last part, that wasn't even about sex
It sounds kind of awkward if you think about it in that way
But that's not how - its layered. Its like a metaphor
Like Greek mythology... cause I said "Iliad and Odyssey, I'm ill when I write..."
Homer... I said "Homie" cause... you just gotta read a book
I don't know what to tell you
But what I CAN tell you is I just feel like I'm the best rapper out right now
I'm the best rapper you don't know about, I'm better than your favorite rapper
I hope that doesn't come across as braggadocios or like rude or anything
That's just really how I feel. I feel like what I've showcased
What I'm about to show y'all this year is gonna be undeniable
Justin cooks up a beat and sends it to me, and I just slaughter it every time
He put his foot in this one and every one before that and after that, bro
Y'all gon see. It's Potluck 2019 and every year after that
To infinity and beyond, nigga! Woo!
Cut off all my hoes, I had to dead the flings
I pray I ain't Carmelo and I get a ring
I'm changing up my habits, doing better things
People talkin to me bout that vegan life
But these taco trucks they always seem to gleam at night
