Lyrics
[Intro]
Check, check, check
Just bars on this one
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Top-notch pen, top half of top ten
Godsend when I'm locked in, I drop gems, all diamonds
Like Paul Wall at the mall shining
I bring the art with me like '60s Paul Simon
They want us small-minded, fooled by false findings
Crabs in a barrel, falling off the wall, climbing
All grind and no joy, destroying our health, avoiding ourselves
The whole thing's annoying as hell
Everybody trying to buy the shiny toy on the shelves
They put our water into bottles that then poison the wells
It's all plastic, the raps is all classic
Big tunes, Jurassic tall, Tacko Fall massive
I tear it down and smash it all
Crash it like young Shaq with Orlando's basketball magic
Now I'm in uncle mode, laidback, comfortable
Y'all started months ago, I've been rocking since Lunchables
Running 'round London town, no wonder I run the show
Going off unprovoked, feeling wonderful, who's coming close?
[Chorus]
Bow and arrow shots, hunting goats
Bow and arrow shots, hunting goats
[Verse 2]
Nowadays, mans don't know how to spit and fans don't know how to listen
Where you gonna without a vision?
Guess I go about it different, I don't know, I don't care, I'm a pro
Never putting on airs, always putting on a show
The ongoing saga of so-and-so bores me
Rappers need to tell a bigger story, 4D
Something soulful, something more deep
That resonates from the last rows to the floor seats
Still places to go in this art form
I been that dark horse storming through the barn doors
Opposite of hardcore, but every bar's a sharp sword
So if you're smart, you don't really wanna start war
Too fortified, too organized
Anyone who fronted is mortified
Not on Billboard, they still award the guy every sort of prize
Important rhymes, they borderline immortalize
[Verse 3]
Toni Morrison prose, Prince performance-wise
Sick with no symptoms so I kill 'em with no warning signs
Never recorded lies since Jordan was 45
The sort of vibes the connoisseurs prioritize
That's why the dude's getting stans in Uzbekistan
Iran to France, in every land collecting fans
Wrecking jams since Sam the Record Man
Till I'm making extra bands for my great grandkids' exit plans
Generational, the wealth's the reputation though
The appetite for the cash can get insatiable
I rap for those that don't run from the truth
In this fake world, Neo when I run to the booth
I'm the one, it's fun and it's loose
And the numbers ain't a problem once I'm done with the proof
[Chorus]
Bow and arrow shots, hunting goats, yeah
Bow and arrow shots, hunting goats
Bow and arrow shots, hunting goats, yeah
