[Intro]
Yah! Haha
(Oh my God it's the shit yo! No!)
Look, you know what time it is
Life comes full circle
Can't believe we're back
It's been a long time, but here we are finally
(You know what time it is!)
Ahh, feeling nostalgic
(Let's get this going!)
I really feel like I should say something right now
(You know what I said!)
(Yeah)
But nothing comes to mind
(2021)
(Isa you got the beats?)
So Ima just
(Still got it, I hope)
(Some intro shit)
(Yeah)
Talk random bullshit...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse]
Ay what's in the needle?
Errbody asking, bro what's in the needle?
Man you really think that I motherfuckin' know?
Whatever the fuck it is though
Keep it coming, cause I'm feeling nothing
Goddamn it, I love it, I lovе it
I love to be stuck in oblivion
We'rе on that good shit
One puff and whoosh it's a new world out there
Without no things that I have to care about
Let's leave it all out man, I'm feeling so good
That I might just get a room, and stay for the night
In this wonderful space hotel
No pain to bear
Ain't nothing to fear
Just tryna be self aware
And get out this hell
But I can see them racks form stairs leading just there
Fighting with God and the Devil, oh well (Oh no!)
I started at the top but since then
I went down a several levels
I'm sounding like a rebel right?
Well, trust me I'm not
I ain't really special
Only thing that I've I got
Is an aim at the top
A chance at being successful
And holy fuck, am I going pedal to metal
Ain't nobody having me settled on this instrumental
Also listening to this, you start to realize how bad you needed a sequel
A hundred times better, but still remember where we started
Man, I'm feeling so fucking sentimental
Like I'm livin' a dream now, somebody pinch me
Oh I'm sorry, didn't know that most of y'all can't even reach me
And believe me, that I don't even know how to slow down
First album out, and I ain't even in the vicinity of the line
But I don't mean the finish, I haven't even started the race
That's fucking walk pace, and while I'm at it, fuck everything that I made
Including this shit, this is garbage compared to the best where I aim to be
Although, I still have a long way ahead of me
I'm improving every day exponentially
And if that's stayin'
I'll be secretly hatin' on every record I'm makin'
Cause I know that perfection is still awaintin' me
So don't think I'm stopping before that's achieved
I'm hungry for blood, yeah I'm thirsty I need it
The way that I'm spitting it, I feel like I'm adopted
Like, which Hungarian could rip it and flip it like the people in the top ten
But hold up, before you accuse me of claiming that I'm in the top ten
I only feel like that, but I hope there just might be a time when
I'll look back on this song and smile and laugh
Now, there could be two sides of that:
One that I made it and became the man
Getting my bread from this rap game
Feeling insane on the other side though
The fairytale of me chasing the fame turned into a nightmare
Wanting my old life back
Reaching the slippery slope, there's no way back to where you came from
And I can't say, that I wasn't counting on this moment to come one day
But really, I was hoping that it'll go away as fast as it came
Well it stayed, that's great
Now, I can either live with the pain or blow my brains out
That doesn't really sound sane right, just sit tight
It's gonna be dealt with in "Time" alright now moving on
Second side starts with me quitting it, and finally starting a family
Tryna find a simpler way to be
A wife, two or three kids, a bearable 9 to 5 on my wishlist
Wasting my talent and drive, but living my happiest life
With some underlying regrets of what would've happened if I didn't jump out the industry
Based on just the fear of what it might do to me
And to be honest, this feeling ain't nothing new to me
Look, I'm not a stranger to living in jeopardy
The only difference is now I'm not the victim
But when I pledged to myself that I won't let these thoughts eat me up
I never thought that I could ever be as empty as my old man was
Well, I hope my children will turn out a little less broken than me
That'd be a victory it's just a little funny
Like when you were going through it how you made them promises
And then you got stuck right in the middle of the same situation
With the same mistakes your father did, so identical
It's like you completely copied it all
And yeah you dodged a bullet when you quit the industry
But you became the thing you've been avoiding so greatly
So basically whatever I choose, life ends up a tragedy
We call that using depression to numb your anxiety
We kill the stress in your chest with the pain in your head
But I won't waste your time with this boring story
More importantly, we gotta keep the show moving
So for the next track coming up
Give it up for a classic, but before we rush into that
Let me take this one moment to unveil this beautiful project, we wittingly named:
