Crown of Thorns

I'm rapping like the rent's due, probably because it is
Know that I'ma snap anytime that I double fist
Though it leads back to a place where trouble lives
Guess I live and die by a blade that's double-edged for real
I'm an old soul but I still stay cutting edge
Never cut a corner on a verse since before Fergie even joined the Black Eyed Peas
And still they wanna see me fall like the London Bridge, fuck 'em!
You start as a rookie then you blink and become a vet
Though it still feels like I'm barely just off the bench
I swear that I've been 'hair' longer than Cousin It
And shit is getting spooky because it
My girl is the only destination my love is sent
Hoes still tryna fuck me just like government
Struggling rappers are getting mad cause I'm bubbling
So lately I just make like a masseuse and rub it in
Dudes doing 10 songs a day on some other shit
Still couldn't fuck with one verse that I'm coming with
I ain't hear your weak track 'cause you was wondering
I gave that shit to the next person and doubled it
Now that I got my chips, I'm feeling like George Costanza
Standing at the table to double dip
Fuck what your brother said
And fuck the whole game, I'm a hit you all twice
Make sure that you double dead
And that's for all the tours, I was sleeping on the mother fuckin' floor
At the foot of that double bed
Addies got me rolling like some tires that's double tread
It's gon a good year, that's what my mother said
Look, it's full steam ahead, I got tunnel vision and I'm seeing red
My mind is like an arena where every demon bled
They tried to cut me apart and make me reach the edge
But I sewed myself back together with the needle's thread
They've been throwing rocks at the throne that I redirect
Took every stone, turned them shits into a VVS
Swallowing my pride hasn't really been easy, test
Had to let that shit grow on me like a Chia Pet
Broke the chain like Stevie Nicks
But I keep links on me like a PDF
A small reminder that life is precious
Cause I was close enough to the reaper that I could see his breath
Close enough to see depth, close enough to greet the EMS
Thought I'd always be depressed
When my took my brother from me I was really a mess
Had to shake myself, get up and be the best
Spent years tryna reach success, so blinded by wanting more
That I couldn't even see I'm blessed
So here's a million dollars worth of game for you youngins out there
Never 'Wallo' in your deep regrets
