Stay Golden
To whom it may concern it's been a slow burn of a sojourn
I'm back now, so it's time to go earn, yo
Remember me? Probably not
I'm just a rapper spittin' poppycock
Top-notch street poet like Basquiat
I'm either on the clock or chopping block
At least my time is in my hands like a pocket watch
Not to pander, but you can stop and gander
Like a bystander, just don't try and stop the propaganda
And, um, I dunno I'm just bombing emcees
Honestly been an anomaly, ominously
Propagating love around me anonymously like Amélie
Probably irresponsible of me
Wannabe emcees, you're commonly known
I'm as rare as it gets, astonishing flows
Legendary, agree or I'll defeat you vehemently
Don't take it personal
That's what it means to be an emcee
Time to focus, I could be the dopest
This could be my magnum opus
Flow has always been precocious
Stay golden and goated
Should I be hopeful or is it hopeless?
Don't slip
Time to focus, I could be the dopest
This could be my magnum opus
Flow has always been precocious
Stay golden and goated
Should I be hopeful or is it hopeless?
Don't slip
How many cats do I have to rap against?
Just to show this ain't no happy accident
Got me malcontent
No idea what the outcome of this album is
Experimenting with the alphabet like an alchemist
Just trying to turn this lead into gold
From my pencil to the notebook bet your head will explode
That's why competitors fold, man it's time to settle in
Don't meddle with this rhyme veteran, I'm a fine specimen
Jettison the rest, level-set and sever ties
You never met a guy whose rhymes could mesmerize
Memorize my lines like thespians, let's begin
Let 'em live? I guess I can if you're dear to me like venison
Best to tell your next of kin, "you're next and then it's them"
Remember when I used to menace mics on 23rd and Lexington?
Twenty years later got me dreaming of mics again
Of Mice and Men, the best laid plans
Might depend on the type of pen that's writing them
Stay golden, age old like Tolkien
That's the ticket to being token
Never been outspoken
That's the way it unfolded
So for now I stay golden
Stay Golden, age old like Tolkien
Insatiable devotion
Never been outspoken
That's the way it unfolded
So for now I stay golden
I'm back now, so it's time to go earn, yo
Remember me? Probably not
I'm just a rapper spittin' poppycock
Top-notch street poet like Basquiat
I'm either on the clock or chopping block
At least my time is in my hands like a pocket watch
