Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Contrary to popular belief
You know what, yo
[Verse 2]
This is not a love song, it's a sonnet
Damn, it feels good to have people up on it, but
I'm just a fool playing with the master's tools
Learning how to break the rules
Of this record company pool
Hallucination, I see with my eyes
But my heart's telling me lies
Why do I fantasize?
Why am I telling lies to the people from the stage?
Pretending it's all good when inside it's fire and rage
'Cause I can't understand
How a man lives off the life of another man
Tryna pimp the universe, that's a joke
I stay rocking the boat, down to my last note
It's Murder, She Wrote
Assassination vocabulary
I see your termination is heavily necessary
I shoulda known, they do it for Forbes alone
I do it to break the walls, if I fall off, then let me know, people
[Verse 3]
It's funny how life can go
First you ride high, then you might lay low
Don't get high off your own supply
Some will set foots before a fool comes by
This is my message to the world
Just tryna reach every boy and girl
Not tryna say if it's right or wrong
This is just a love song
[Verse 4]
Lyrical optometrist with twenty-twenty vision
Serving rhymes like my granny used to serve provision
Chaotical amniotical fluid
The rap druid that's fluent
In the art of onomatopoeia
Metaphysical microscopic topic dropper
When I was a kid, I wanted roller skates and a bike chopper
But alas, Pop Pop never thought to keep me in style
That's why I'm schizophrenic now, so
God bless the child that has his own
The harvest we reap is what we sow
Chrome microphone, shoot it towards the dome
Of computer digital clones
That mimic philosopher's stones
Saying the style's their own
When they bite like Mike from Brownsville
That sounds ill, relationship is a mirror
But ya see yourself within, and the picture is clearer
That's why I'm on the scene with a mic like Ernesto Guevara
While they exploit your life like Geraldo River, they just
[Verse 5]
It's funny how life can go
First you ride high, then you might lay low
Don't get high off your own supply
Some will set foots before a fool comes by
This is my message to the world
Just tryna reach every boy and girl
Not tryna say if it's right or wrong
This is just a love song
[Verse 6]
It's easy not to care what people say
It's harder to pretend to try
'Cause they can only love you from yesterday
I'm looking at the Nile, it rose high
'Cause I'm just a man who's walking
They stand around and keep talking
They tried to clip my wings
But wisdom fills so many things
Say it again
I'm just a man who's walking
They stand around and keep talking
They tried to clip my wings
But wisdom says so many things
To love, love
[Verse 7]
It's funny how life can go
Don't get high off your own supply
This is my message to the world
Not tryna say if it's right or wrong
This is just a love song
It's funny how life can go
Don't get high off your own supply
This is my message to the world...
