The Culture We Practice

Yeah, aye

They're asking what happened, figures aren't matching the action
Dark turned to light, run in packs, hoping nobody jacks em'
Holding the mic, you're on top of the atlas
Revealing your jaw can get spun on axis, that's just the culture we practice (yeah)
A barrel of crabs circled by vultures (aye, aye)
Pay off the tab we inherited, we do not drink to the moment (aye)
Mad one, sad one, if I'm to sink with the ship they can call me the captain

Ain't part of your faction, but I got hunger
And if life is a game, then they're calling me Katniss
I know the tactics, I know the habits, but there's no point in comparing
It's me versus me versus me versus me
That's 2v2, the way that I'm tapped in

We pay additional fees (fees)
You lack faith, but you better believe (believe)
They talk tea 'cause I step with esteem
With friends like these, you don't need enemies, it's deep
Life is a mountain, once you reach your peak it's harder to breathe
Like trees, we're planting a seed we won't get to see, but that's calming to me, it's deep

If everything's fictional, where does it end?
That's just the culture we practice
If nothing is mine, but the fruit that I tend
The world is yours, but you're so unsure
They're claiming it's cap saying I'm on their head
That's just the culture we practice
I'll say it with chest, I move with no regrets
My guys don't know no regret

Said move forward, they said, "What for?"
In cycles, we're doing up tour
Like spinal, I'm backing a cause
And I'm on their necks
No back with the forth, of course
Do I have gang on board? Of course
Will they lose sight of the shore? Of course
You have to leave what you know to find what you don't by rocking the boat (of course)

I'm out raising the sales just by making a sale
A profit of fortune waiting to tell
Going up like it's raised in a well, I'm aiming to fail
Some say that you're taking an L, but I've taken it well
When the lessons, lessen so do your blessings
Trip up just to claim that you fell

We pay additional fees (fees)
You lack faith, but you better believe (believe)
They talk tea 'cause I step with esteem
With friends like these, you don't need enemies, it's deep
Life is a mountain, once you reach your peak, it's harder to breathe
Like trees, we're planting a seed we won't get to see, but that's calming to me, it's peak

If everything's fictional, where does it end?
That's just the culture we practice
If nothing is mine, but the fruit that I tend
The world is yours, but you're so unsure
They're claiming it's cap, saying I'm on their head
That's just the culture we practice
I'll say it with chest, I move with no regrets
My guys don't know no regret
