The Bar

They said this could take you far
Look at what you accomplishing what they said to the bar
What they said to the standard
Hit the bank and withdraw
Hate how I handled it hadda harden my heart
They said they wanted results, I started golfing for par
Par for the course on the mic, when they said they want Michael Kors
Had been fly like a birdie the ball was flying off course
I was tryna be earnest they wanted earnings reports, well (ha ha)

They said this this could take you far
Look at what you accomplishing what they said to the bar
They said we might dick you over, but you gon love the decor
And if you keep it cordial you get a part of the gross
Felt like Assata Shakur
I can't do nothing with pork
But they like "damn you going ham"
What you expect yeah of course
Step back for the answer though and the line'll move on
We gotta keep it rolling cuz that's just Newton's law
But when the earth keeps turning hope my Planets is Digable
Seen sans turn concrete so much I had to be dirigible
And tap the direction of the universe around me
And let it flow out how it will in this fishbowl world
I'm tryna be a whale
So big and white
Ishmael can't get to sleep at night
My dreams so despised that neither can I
Felt like a spy listening in on how they conspire, like

I mean this could take him far
Look at what he accomplishing what he said to the bar
What he set to the standard
Hit the bank and withdraw
Hate how I handled it hadda harden my heart
They said they wanted some answers, and they wanted results
I got afraid of the sands and started golfing for par
Chasing demands I think I lost my resolve
Had been fly like a birdie or like a fly on the wall

They said this this could take you far
Look at what you accomplishing what they said to the bar
What they said to the standard
Hit the bank and withdraw
Hate how I handled it hadda harden my heart
They said they wanted results, I started golfing for par
Par for the course on the mic, when they said they want Michael Kors
Had been fly like a birdie the ball was flying off course
I was tryna be earnest they wanted earnings reports, well

I said that money the root
And then they said of course
But you ain't gotta be rude
Cuz what you want us to do?
Not make no money it's truth that's the power
But money is how we gon get that power to you
Truth was for me
I was losing the feeling I had coming up of having something to prove
When it was fuck em I do this for me
It's nothing for you
Think it's dope then it's cool
And if you don't then just move on
I got too much to do
Can't be pressed by distractions that school
Will have you mistaking for worth
Grades grated at me till that shit started to hurt
Classic gifted kid sickness quick ended up burnt
Nursed with an ice pack
But all they words started
Looking less like a measure and more like a price tag
Personal bar code
So I made the bars cold
To try to get the bite back
If it's like that then it's gotta be like that

How many hours have you spent as a wrestler
Did it ever occur to you
What's the best use
Of all that youth
Of all that you
How many hours have you spent as a wrestler
Do you never learn? (oh no)

They said this this could take you far
Look at what you accomplishing what they said to the bar
What they said to the standard
Hit the bank and withdraw
Hate how I handled it hadda harden my heart
They said they wanted results, I started golfing for par
Par for the course on the mic, when they said they want Michael Kors
Had been fly like a birdie the ball was flying off course
I was tryna be earnest they wanted earnings reports, well
