VERSE I
under any circumstance—I climb the steps
I adapt when necessary and end up with the best
outcome—what—huh—you 2nd guessin’ me
my recipes’ll leave you feelin’ deceived
ask anyone that knows me—I do what I say
you want it done, give it to me cause GOAT don’t play
jot a thought on my list and it’ll get marked out
I’m in control of consciousness—I’ve chosin’ my route
and you…only think that you’re better than me
cause I let you, but you don’t realize or see
I’m lookin’ down at you through YOUR glass ceiling
wavin’, smilin’, thrivin’, comin’ at you so wild and
I know you’re tryin’ your best, but still
your maximum’s below my minimum—man get real
try to do what I do, dog, you can’t do it
you stupid, you screwed it all up—you too foolish
CHORUS
do you know—why I’m here
if you don’t—I don’t care
cause I know that—I’ll succeed
yall can’t touch me
VERSE II
I drop hits like Derrick Brooks…players have to retire (WORD SL)
smash your face like Kanye…and spit through a wire
I’m Dallas’ best—I don’t care what none of yall say
my style is phat…like the ass on Beyonce
ain’t nothin’ touchin’ this, I don’t need your vote
because I punch lines like beatin’ a bag of Coke
tryin’ to test SL…there is no hope
you’re fucked…like an inmate droppin’ the soap
I’m one of the dopest, oh, you don’t think so
there’s a crack-head on the floor tryin’ to snort my toes
you comin’ at me…you don’t stand a chance
like little white boys in Michael Jackson’s bed
I’m like Eazy-E, I keep my records Ruthless
you tryin’ to touch this…I’m beatin’ ya toothless
I’m the nicest—unplug your mic devices
when I spit that shit…I cause a crisis
CHORUS
VERSE III
go ahead and doubt me—you’re just feedin’ the flames
at the end of the game, we’ll see who still remains
you wanna talk technicalities—please
you can’t even spark spirituality, you’re full of fallacies
I’m bringin’ with me a cavalry to conquer every rivalry
my crew’s diverse like a galaxy, we practically
buildin’ a monopoly on the music scene—we crucially harsh
flip, split through segments, drivin’ pens through your heart
my whole life I’ve lived in a bottle, never speakin’ what I think
it’s time to let go, explode, and let frustration leak
creativity is nothin’ without structure—we’ve got both…
so anticipate a puncture to your jugular
we’re breakin’ ya down with no delay
indeed we feed off non-sense you speak, I’m enterin’ through your veins
like heroin, I’m scarin’ ‘em into awkward situations
with precision, I’ll cause conscious collisions and friction
without physically touchin’ them—they’re struck down by the sword of my words
lyricism runs thick in my blood—we bringin’ it raw
don’t retort—there’ll be no strikin’ back
when we come, we comin’ hard—cerebral nucs when we attack
we droppin’ bombs, I’d tell you to be calm, but there’s no use
no abuse—strictly slaughter, ropin’ the world up in a noose
no truces, no white flags—we’ve passed that phase
22 years old, but a year in every day
meanin’ I pay attention to life 365 times fold
than any other of you suckers…wisdom ain’t sold
I’ll leave this verse as a half cadence—what—you missin’ the I chord
I’m unpredictable—you can’t silence my words—I’ll be heard
