PERNELL

Had to mute a couple niggas
For a calmer piece of mind
Had to block a couple bitches
Make me hard for them to find
Couldn't waste a bit of time
Like I did a couple crimes
Had to write doper rhymes
Learned to cut up all my lines
Shit was stacked in paragraphs
A whole bunch of paradigms
Pigeonholed by some people
Poking holes like picking pines
In a bunch of niggas stories
Looking up and niggas flying
Niggas pants set aflame
Well look at that
Niggas dying
Whole lotta blues gotta a nigga seeing lotsa red
Fuming with contempt and irritation deep inside my head
Like some dreads locked in all this negativity
Instead of simply sitting in it
I'm jumping out of this fucking bed

Putting in work
Clean up all this hurt
I got lightning in my viens
Putting in work
Clean up all this hurt
I'm just putting force up in this place (displace)
Putting in work
To clean up all this hurt
It's uno in this race
Putting in work
To clean up all this hurt
I'm just displacing all the hate

I had to replace a lot of niggas
Was dreaming bigger
Then displaced a lot of hate
Inside my innards
I done threw it all away
And left it for beginners
If I stay on this route
I'll forever stay a winner

I'm just putting in work
To clean up all this hurt
I'm just displacing all the hate

I displace all the hate and create clean slates not bothered with haste
I got time time-uh-less (timeless) taste all the vibes i curate
Are conducive to what's great so the shit I spit is fresher than hacking up toothpaste
Hid them packs up in my dresser while tryna to duck a case
Now these niggas paying me for 16's instead of eighths
More money in my pocket off rapping than zip profits
Now I front myself a pen
and they fiending for me to drop it
uh
I keep a circle that's tighter than stripped screws
I stopped sparking up with lighters and cracking off pale brews
I stopped lining up white kids boarding the school bus
Sobriety and people I can trust is a must
That's how I make sure my energy protected
I'm still imperfect insecurities projected
But as long as my morals ain't neglected
Imma keep it cool, calm, and collected
I think it's plain to see that niggas isn't touching me
They scared to step like my pen got leprosy
They scared to fuck with me like they ain't lost virginities
They clamming up when I enter they vicinity
Oyster or not I snatch pearls out yo fuckin mouth
I paid my dues and I'll be damned if ion make it out
I got the shit that make the kids wanna scream and shout
Don't give a damn bout anybody tryna keep me out

Putting in work
Clean up all this hurt
I got lightning in my viens

Clean up all this hurt
I'm just putting force up in this place (displace)
Putting in work
Clean up all this hurt
It's only uno in this race
I'm just putting in work
To clean up all this hurt
And displacing all the hate
