Beauty for Ashes
This could be my magnum opus or an Orifice to go forward through
If I could focus
If I could seize the moment
Comfort zone breached successfully
I took the beating life handed and gave the world what was left of me
I jump off the precipice into potential treachery
I put the onus on my self to reach the highest heights
If you say you great well go be great
I'm here to best Jordan, I'm here to knockout mike
I plead with the audience to Invest in my sole
Like stock X while them vultures made millions off Robin Hood's
Being half as good
It starts with a dream
Sixteen seeds and severed soil
The ash trees remember still
Steel-thick, nicked with bullets
Midas-cursed, flirting with pyrite
The sky retires
And I'm still here
Sweet dreams till I manifest em like destiny, a new frontier
Nightmares that I pioneer for fake OGs like I'm from here
These days turn to dreamscapes when I carpetbag it and run here
Freeze frame it for a keepsake, no other one when I'm done here
Give me roses while I'm with the living
Give me props before I'm top billing
Be in the right before there's no stage left and your fourth wall is a Berlin
All these capping actors on the stage
I go Oscar Wilde when I play
Sowed my own seeds, wrote my own scenes
You could never see 'em being fake
Uh
I'm a people-person, not a herder-hurter
But I met a shepherd who was tryna be yo
Stop counting sheep before you are one
Gunning for another wannabe kind of clone
In my comfort zone alone, solo homie, hold the only trophy at the lonely top
These phony Kobes tryna faux my flow, but then fade away with their only shot
Some told me play to your pros or someone'll con you outta your spot
So I'm gonna make it so pros and strengths'll be all the powder I got
Click, boom, go the warning, I'm hot, global warming, this footprint grows, I
Know that you wanna fit, bro, just stay out of it, good shit though
No beat all keys for the ventilation
This gear I just flipped brought a different speed or the need for permeations
I'm done wingin' it, something like Lou will
Break bubbles to create magic
I heard God had a deal I could trade beauty for ashes
When you molded like Cassius, you built to evade many hits
Will I take heed when God speaks and be the mouth piece of the misfits
I haven't decided
They waitin' on me to be the chef of this generation
I serve information
At the very least I deserve consideration
They say God give you push when it's time to move and you comfortable
You relax a bit, you get a swift kick and I must admit man I been chillin'
My purpose is probably outside of this circle
If I leave I'd be sacrificing what I know
If I'm stayin still then I may as well cut my nose to spit my face no Voldemort
Even though Harry gifted the darkness looms
You can still feel the spirit in this potters room
Hoping the way I spell can amend generational curses
Tryna give us new purpose
Chronic Overthinker I'm questioning every variable
Been hurt before so it's scary to move
Lost more than I gained by trusting in dudes
Just a young nigga with a 9-5 ain't no label push for the ground swell
No large loans, or rented homes Straight boss shit so I foot the Bill
Ground up foundation, the rock I'm on is a goldmine
While the rich get richer that's M and Ms, that's America in a nutshell
Me being modest I'm finding new zones can't even describe it
This me at my lightest
I'm close to letting it ring on you hobbits
PAYDAY
