Landlines

This ain't about you

Kids say I rap like good daddy

Sipping mead on a blue note
Sidewinder out the two-door
Extra crispy on my three-piece
Leave a message at the beep, beep
Box braid on my boy child
'90s day, we was crossed out

Fifth grade in my dad jeans
High fade on the flat top
It was nine-two, stacks greased
I played Game Boy in the backseat

Rather be codependent than co-defendants
If it's up to me, we'd mend the fences
Duffel bag hold my pension
Got it out the mud, but it's guerilla in my blood
I'm not for them trenches

High ground, keep 'em guessin'
One eyebrow at the very mention
Every answer I gave in the form of a question
Don't bark now, you knew it'd be 'spensive
Told you 'fore we started spendin', it'd be hell to pay at the endin'

Voice to text fuckin' up, still sent it, it captured the sentiment
Raging rivers reduced the sediment
Lawyers split they cases but niggas still got the same sentences
A snake of hash coiled into sess just to stretch it
Forbidden fruit plucked out God's stash, The Gardens in Lefferts

Don't play on my phone 'less you Badu
I wanna buy me a home and sit on the stoop
Smoke me a cone, night breeze catch the trees
Sippin' something smooth
Feeling some type of way, put my family under one roof
Only go inside once I hear 'em start to shoot

I been fallin' in, I been payin' out, I been needin' now
In the dark with it rainin' down
Man in hole, earth eating, don't look in the sky
It will just remind when you fell up out your big head
Popping bumps on your black neck
When your wish is vivid out of body
I wouldn't do this with just anybody
I'm not finished, I'm a menace to myself

I be bleeding through, I be needing now
I can't wait to show you out
I can't wait to show you out
I been falling in, I been paying out
I been needing now

I been falling in, I been paying out
I been needing now
I been falling in, I been paying out
I been needing now

You heard me?
Life
Yeah
Life is-, life is just
Life is basically tomorrow's breakfast
If a lion wakes up in the morning he knows to hunt a gazelle
But I'm-, but I'm okay
