| New York ain’t dead |
| It came back to life in the apocalypse |
| I done seen too much by 14 to be an optimist |
| Round Late Registration’s drop, I learned about consequence |
| Before shit mellowed out, I saw a few Marty Collinses |
| Compliment? Bitch, I got accomplishments |
| You can’t get switched on if you don’t got accomplices |
| Everybody on the fence got pushed the fuck off the shit |
| So brace yourself before you lost your wrist you little cocky bitch |
| I make the workin man high art |
| Some round me was in silence so I broke down my circle like a pie chart |
| They only tough on radio, that’s that iHeart |
| When the swag too try-hard, that’s that he a lie mark |
| They ride waves, I catch sails on the penmanship |
| Only time I’m overboard’s listening to their shit |
| Pirating the flows |
| Tide rise, you get exposed |
| Little diamonds in your Rolls |
| Say you enterprise and get sold |
| Cause you rent the shit |
| Homie, I’m the excrement |
| Stick your lil chests and turn a pest into a pessimist |
| I don’t care if I’m meant for this, it’s what I’m doin |
| Every marriage I seen was toxic, me and the game just another union |
| Who him? I feel like laughin' |
| They feel like captions, I feel like passion |
| What you do for that hood you rep? I feel like askin' |
| I mean like action |
| Now you just cash in on a lifestyle that you never lived |
| And you don’t hand nothin' back |
| Like it’s third down in a shotgun set you in |
| Who you help? |
| You could be the TikTok star that you are but when that clock stop, oh boy… |
| This the soundtrack to a dark knight, bitch I’m Hans Zimmer |
| Amerikkka, everyone want be a winner |
| This that feeling like when the train stuck between stops |
| And you picked the wrong car cause you think you see a op |
| Tried to rob me for my when I had North Face money |
| Don’t end up on the wrong side of the hungry |
| Comin to you live from where the world burns and they don’t give a motherfuck |
| But we applaud runner-ups |
| Cause you’d rather be rich people’s assistants than to bet on yourself |
| So even the runner up |
| All the money’s at the top, but they don’t hear me |
| Concentration of wealth |
| Monstrous hatred of self |
| Propagatin' with selves at all costs to the state of health |
| Thoughts of Decatur’s wealth |
| Trains of thought out of order, we lost the way to ourselves |
| Take a good look at you like |
| What DNA you got locked away in your cells? |
| Slaveowners is doin life in your bloodstream |
| How you gon' come clean if you ain’t seein' the dirt up under your nails? |
| Act like we ask for too much |
| Your reality’s a dumb dream so don’t lump me with a flavor of the month |
| Bitch, I’m a staple |
| I’ll starve before I take a seat at your fabled table |
| If they ain’t able, they label |
| If they can’t label, they hate you |
| I respond like, «Why, thank you» |
| Grateful |
| Don’t think cause I’m tryin' go gluten-free that I won’t come for your bread |
| Make your fans my fans and straight come for your head |
| They get intimidated, I get to be who I really am |
| And for this comfort, I bled |
| So you gonna respect |
| This the soundtrack to a dark night, bitch I’m Hans Zimmer |
| Amerikkka, everyone won’t be a winner |
| This that feeling like when the train stuck between stops |
| And you picked the wrong car cause you think you see a op |
| Tried to rob me for my when I had North Face money |
| Don’t end up on the wrong side of the hungry |
