Garden Soldier

I
I go eye for eye
I go hit for hit
I go stupid, kid
I can take that "grumble grumble"
Lay it down nice and boosted, kid
So what you want from it?
A posse?
Lot's of glossy bitches crunkin' it?
Mm, what a shame
A shame you've got to claim shame
When you could just live
So what you think?
No more same same, or we can't link
If it's that bang bang, I'm with it though
I just hope folk'll feel it though
I just hope folk don't feel estranged
See how folk move?
It's dizzy, ain't it?
Folk gon' be folk, I'm with it though
Folk got' get cold when winter holds 'em

Shaded Boy
Color-coordinated, shaded, boy
Molten lava faced Shaded Boy
Don't get too close, could be that shaded boy
The wanted posters say The Shaded, boy
"If he come around, bet I change the boy
Take his whole flow, switch it up
And when it overrun, lick it up
And if I got the funds, give 'em up"
So what, you blame the boy?
You think he's evil? You wanna hang the boy?
The boy done been hung
The boy been through it!
That's the cost to cross
He go stupid
Though he often lost, he never lose it
If he up Shit's Creek, he cruise it
Keep a li'l thick thing, she's clued in
Pluck it as a six string
She's oozing, saying

"Take it, Boy
Take the whole thang, clean the plate, lil boy
Treat it like you need it
Oh! You ain't little, boy! L pop
I knew it when I seen you eating ankle, boy"

"I knew it when I seen him stick the bank up, boy
Robbed it one-handed, punched the vault in!
This all, from one man!
The clerk done left with him, I get it though
But he ain't had to run, he tippy-toed"

What would you do?
The Shaded Boy swinging sword, charging toward you
He only show fang to a foo foo
He only throw game to a garden soldier
And if you fake claim, it go through you
Threw you like a hoodwinked heart'll throw you
Can't play the lame game that a suit do
"He a dang shame, just a starving stoner"
It ain't the same thang for
The Shaded Boy
Color-coordinated, shaded, boy
Molten lava faced Shaded Boy
Don't get too close, could be that shaded boy
The wanted posters say The Shaded, boy
Long awaited, praise The Shaded Boy
Armor steel plated Shaded Boy
He too tough, must be up to something, bruh
He juiced up, how you gon' contain the boy?
You think he's evil?
You wanna hang the boy?
The boy done been hung
The boy been through it!
That's the cost to cross, he go stupid!
Though he often lost, he never lose it!
If he up Shit's Creek, he cruise it!
Keep a li'l thick thing, she's clued in!
Pluck it as a six string
She's oozing, saying

"Take it, boy!"

I'll take my time with it
I'll take my time with it
I'll take a double shot of 'quila with a lime in it
I'll take a humble señorita with a spine in-line
And if she's got a sweet spot
I'll get to finding it
I'll take a tumble, run it back
Just to say that I fell
Just to say that I got it bad, to show I'm alive
Just to pretend that I float and I ain't under your spells
Just to pretend is a joke
To reminisce is a trap
I'll listen in on the low,
But hold my chin above the troubles
Of this and that
It's tough when your clicking heels give up
And it doesn't last
It's tougher when skipping meals
Gets tougher when dragging a-
That's why I take my time
That's why I take my time
That's why I take my time
That's why I'll take my time
Just sitting back, reclined
That's why I beat the drum
Rule with a heavy thumb
That's why I step aside
To see the rest in the light
That's why I take my time
That's right

That's why I gotta go
There's nothing left for The Shaded
You know?
That's why I'm easing off it
I'll save my breath to the death
You know?
That's why it's gotten cold
Compliments of The Shaded
You know?
That's why I take my time
That's why I take my time
You know?

That's why I gotta go
