Magnolia

These circumstances have got me active while feeling passive
I'm at a loss for the word pursuing greater passions
Malevolence in my mind has built these layered factions
Causing massive hysteria with greater chain reactions
Life is flipped like it's bass ackwards, mad hatters
Breathing all the gases of mercury affecting grey matter
But does it matter? Living along adopted patterns?
It's hard to fathom when living within these small parameters

My mental's on new levels and I hold gems like a bezel
It gets hot, turn on the kettle, I don't meddle with the metal
Don't get it twisted like a pretzel, I always got the mettle
To move forward, you won't see me fallin' down in stinging nettles (No way)
I'm like a great white flower, I'm a magnolia (Say what?)
I'm paying all of my dues so I ain't owing ya (Say what?)
The standout in this big bush of choisya (Standout)
And you gon' hear my rhymes, there ain't a choice for ya (No choice)

Home is where the heart is, but for me, it's where the art is
And this artist will be ridin' beats 'til he's a scary carcass
Fake friends, snakes hide in the grass, they just a pain in the ass
They ain't gon' be by my side when I get big off writin' bars
I thought we were cool, I can't believe you hurt me (Damn)
You tried to blame it on me, heh, that was really nervy (For real?)
But life throws curveballs and that's part of the journey (Say true)
So I'mma hit home runs and no-one will deter me (Nah)
This my own shit, this ain't paste and copy (No way)
If the world don't get me, I know Alonzo got me (He do)

Young Dan, I copy, all of my squad, they got me
Positive energy is the key to end all monotony
Watch out for all the snakes with the legs treading so lightly
'Cause, in reality, perception results in casualties
I know they hurt you, but souls are often possessed
From the stress of feeling so less in a world that's truly vexed, man
