Lyrics
Before my stoic sentiments led to horrorcore
I stumbled outrunning my horoscope just like I’ve done before
Always wanted part of the posse, but also wanted more
For everyone involved like a socialist, what was Bernie for?
We spent all this time building a bridge, so what’d we burn it for?
Why we keep our feelings hidden? What is this a cold war?
My finger's on the button through the silence
I see yours is on the dial
And you you want it louder? Well then, turn it more
I took every morale that I learned before and watched it all go up in smoke
I hit the Backwood, cough and choke up thinkin' 'bout how close we were
Now our potential, Jahlil Okafor
Crying to the sky like, "what the fuck was all that hoping for?"
I thought it’d cultivate a space where **** could be open more
Now I see our hearts are locked, similar to cells we dodge
From the womb to the plot, what’s the plot?
I think that I hear the clock
Every hour hard to watch
I just need a minute
I think I just need a minute
Now my burdens just coagulate
I caught the charge but bartered with the magistrate
Jack was straight
Thought I learned my lesson, but here I go gettin' activated
Demons playin games. We throwing hands or playin' patty cake?
Now vices and vengeance are what I gravitate
Liquor burned but bro said he don’t care 'bout how the tab will taste
We take these drugs to feel some. We numb like a surgery patient
If this is the curse that we take, then fuck this here Earth that contains it
And I put that on the One who made it
Call the guns percussion 'cause these sticks and all these drums related
It hurt my stomach, so fuck a Xany, it’s TUMS I’m takin
Is it control or status quo? Man, I’m done debating
Let the sun relay it
We shinin' brighter than the wattage down in Satan's basement
Embezzle dollars from our pockets, what you fundin' lately?
Wrestling demons on my docket this is undertaking
Tales from young and the faded
But, don’t be dumb boy we favored
We headed to the top floor, we done with the basement
It’s all love my boy, we done with the hatin'
At this point me and yours both wanna see you make it
It’s your shot. Take it
Maybe
Well shit, you just need a minute
Hey coach, call a time out, get him out
Maybe, he just need a minute
Don't get offended, buddy
You just need a minute
How far must the scarred artist embark
To end up in the place that he started?
I thought I’d give my last regards
But the only letters that I write you start with Dearly Departed
To me the scene was outlined in chalk
See, through the tribe I was taught if they sneak dissin' to call 'em out
We was runnin' fades before walk it out
****, fuck you talkin' bout?
The ending is the first thing I thought about
And now it’s high stakes like we hotboxed the slaughterhouse
Some shade was thrown we caught it
Now it’s silence like the volume down
I ain’t ever fold
The road was closed, so I just walked around
Shit been sick since Covid, we was locked in, now it’s coffins, now
Life done hit and knocked you out, ref call it now
He just need a minute
That's on my God
Where's the towel?
He just need a minute
Hold on Sensei, I need another minute
Shit, I might need another minute and a half, for real
What you think that I want you in a coffin or something?
You think I want my family dead like I’m Itachi or something?
You think these lives you playin with are Tamagotchi or something?
All the fake bustin’ led to repercussions, not for nothin'
I arrived on this track. I hit the first leg stumbling
Took the loss, ran up a bag and took the gamble and doubled it
Still runnin' in circles, all of these hurdles are troubling
But I take my mission, sins and all my morals and juggle them
Esco said sharpen the pen? Well, the burden is cumbersome
Too heavy for those who checkin', Sensei there go another one
Still stepping to new levels like there go another one
I don’t even understand where this energy coming from
Ain’t it he who was the man who set us up for the glory?
Tryna see the promised land. You writin' me out as the Moses?
Hell nah. I'll do a **** like Moses 'fore he knew God
Like I need a sin to repent for, Allumdulilah
The sum of the cost, I pay it, don’t think of it at all
Lookin' back woulda been wise for you to not get involved
I thought I said it before, there’s no stopping the boss
I put it on Lenoir you can’t knock him at all
Praise to the Father, all the doubts discarded, now I’m lion hearted
Tribe was started by a central calling, God I played my part and
Gave these **** every gem you gave me it was me who taught 'em
Now I tread the path less traveled by that I found to follow
Just hand me the tree, I’ll roll a leaf and light it up for all
The times I had to start a wildfire just to drown my sorrow
I’d take this whole forest down, if you let me
How much does it affect me? Well, I got therapy tomorrow
