[Lyric] Letters III (The Black Ace)

[Intro]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Fighting my fears
Battling peers, it appears that I have not risen enough
'98 in that tuck while I'm eyeing that cup
Do I pick up the chalice?
The malice in palace
My peace is disturbed when I deal with the fallacies callously thrown
Bitches be flicking it up for the throne
Nowadays, I don't get home till the morn' (till the morn')
I obsess over the smallest of things
23, still counting the rings
Dissonance while I do my dance
And I do it, I duet, we shaking hands
I'm The Black Ace, I'm thе one
Give me a cеntury, then I'll be done
All of the bullshit overcome
Just another prelude from the Sun
[Chorus]
Wanna talk about ducking and diving?
Tryna act like you only been thriving
I know the real you wouldn't oblige
Thinking you made it, just a mirage
You need to step back (No way)
Or hit another step back (Ok)
The pressure a helluva thing
Depression been making me sing

Wanna talk about ducking and diving?
Tryna act like you only been thriving
I know the real you wouldn't oblige
Thinking you made it, just a mirage
You need to step back (No way)
Or hit another step back (Ok)
The pressure a helluva thing (thing)
Depression been making me sing

[Verse 2]
Look, I'm too blessed and I'm too gone
Too ocean, no Frank 'Blonde'
I invented protection, you in my section then you good
Don't gotta say it, you see how I stood
Present day it's the same thing
Rap's a gift and I stay praying 'cause I'm thankful (Mentally, I'm on one)
If time lost a hand, would you stop the press
'Cause you could not face that you got depressed?
The fits are old cause you won't address
Flow has been off, you losing yo breath (Yo breath)
Asthmatic (Asthmatic)
Pragmatic (Pragmatic)
Still working even on Sabbath
My dreams cease for no average
The peons could be gone and-
[Chorus]
Wanna talk about ducking and diving?
Tryna act like you only been thriving
I know the real you wouldn't oblige
Thinking you made it, just a mirage
You need to step back (No way)
Or hit another step back (Ok)
The pressure a helluva thing (thing)
Depression been making me sing (sing)

Wanna talk about ducking and diving?
Tryna act like you only been thriving
I know the real you wouldn't oblige
Thinking you made it, just a mirage
You need to step back (No way)
Or hit another step back (Ok)
The pressure a helluva thing (thing)
Depression been making me sing (sing)

[Bridge
Ink blacker than my crown (Ink blacker than my crown)
Don't know what to think since they put her in the ground (since they put her in the ground)
Ink blacker than my crown
Don't know what to think since they put her in the ground (In the ground, crown)

Ink blacker than my crown (Wanna talk about ducking and diving?)
Don't know what to think since they put her in the ground (I know the real you wouldn't oblige; Thinking you made it just a mirage)
Ink blacker than my crown (You need to step back or hit another setback)
Don't know what to think since they put her in the ground (The pressure a helluva thing; Depression been making me sing)
[Chrous]
Wanna talk about ducking and diving?
Tryna act like you only been thriving
I know the real you wouldn't oblige
Thinking you made it, just a mirage
You need to step back (No way)
Or hit another step back (Ok)
The pressure a helluva thing
Depression been making me sing

[Outro]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Yeah, yeah
