Oasis

Dreams in the eight series
On my block niggas get weary
Tuck the Smith or the Ruger
On my Kruger like I'm Freddy

Word to Big if I die I'm ready
Evil genius I'm Lex Luther
Gotta grab the sutures
Left a nigga toothless

Light the L to get high
I was tired of feeling low
Now when I touch the sky
You can see a heavenly glow

I talk easily on the beat
Stack blue notes real neat
Shorty bust it cause she a freak
For a few Bucks like I'm Neek

Duck off when Feds creep
Plead the fifth we don't speak
From a city that never sleeps
Your heart can't ever be weak

Was taught with common sense
Why I'm sharp during suspense
Shit on niggas get the depends
See the flash know the intent

Shorty suck it til I'm content
Getting rolled like a tent
Oops I meant to say a tarp
Pulling your strings like a harp

Aim precise like shooting darts
Learned how to play my part
Free from the distraction
Who's worth the reaction

Destined for greatness
Look at what awakens
Move like water cause I'm shapeless
You can't escape this

Purpose that you were given
Look stop and listen
Let this life be an oasis
Longevity is travel

Through time and space
Devils were angels
Falling from grace
Decisions tilt the stakes

Destiny's what you make
Know the real from fake
This life's an oasis
This life's an oasis

People watch the Gram for action
Different tread with my traction
Why I'm making it happen
You on sidelines still asking

For a label to cast a feature
I just spray like a street sweeper
On a grim like I'm the reaper
Fuck all of these gatekeepers

A dream deferred
Is a dream without action
Word to Langston Hughes
Soulful like rhythm and blues

Bringing back what's true
Straight from the grass roots
Way more than Hip-Hop tunes
Coogi sweaters and Tim boots

Hustle lives in these veins
Too many herbs in this industry
So I plant a different strain
Bars create select imagery

Align the perfect symmetry
Instrumental to pencil
Artists lack proper credentials
Knowing yourself is essential

Go home and practice
Til you write something suspenseful
Wannabe gangsters that are actors
When I spit it's resentful

Where's respect for the culture
Hip-Hop circled by many vultures
Like a baby I nurture
My legacy to a future
