[Intro]
I always ask why water can't be free?
What it takes to be loyal?
If I give you too much, will I spoil you?
Will I spoil you?

[Verse]
Yo
The night longer than the day still
Always running to the bank, it's hard to stay still, yeah
The love fake but the hate real
From the city where they take lives, take bills
In a rush for these blessings, gotta wait still
Coulda have been a star, what a waste, iron heart on my waist
Tryna save the hood, gotta iron out my cape
Happy birthday, every day, where my cake?
Only pair clear energy in my space
With a sage, white fitted, black mask on my face
Repeating concepts, that's what I see everyday
Can't rap about space or astrology or astronomy
See no saran wrap ceramics like it was pottery
I really changed my life, I hope you proud of me
To the ladies of my life that's looking out for me
Fatima Santiago, this is alchemy
About to be who everybody thought I was
Rapping on the lunch table 'fore I ever caught a buzz, yeah
Homicides increasing
And it's Fentanyl on these streets, and these heathens
What's the life expectancy of a real n***a?
Answer that, riddle me that

It's taking longer than expected, walls closing in
An environment that's hectic
Got sidetracked, went uptown and I left it
We ain't never had that moment, I regret it
Keep it 100 with yourself, don't forget it
Why you turn state on the town? Should've seen that
All them traits of a clown and I mean that
Ain't nothing safe but the sound
I learned to be great from the ground

Return of the body snatchers
Big gold links, never TD Cleopatra
Think I need a mink, made it to the mood board
More game than the people go to school for
Me, I need a two-door, too real, too raw
Old problems bringing new losses
Karma still calling, move cautious
Doors going radical, baby
I'm back off my sabbatical, baby

See the substance so groovy
Drive-in movies by the Domino Towers
Shroomies on a slice, smoking Mario flowers
Want the Aston green like Yoshi
Want my own island like Roshi
Could've been had a hit, I got cold feet
Cooler than I'm high, like I'm Cochise
Tried to make a sandwich, had no cheese
Try to kick out the cypher, I had no weed
I left the beat without a trace, left 'em no lead
I was cut from every team, Ain't make no league
Had to tell the truth to him, never sold dreams
I might slip, I might fail but I won't lean
Twelvyy top shelf, creme de la creme
Real Notorious Biggie, Lil' Kim
Used to have the ceaser
Before I had a driver license, traveled with a visa
We ain't gon' cry

Everything top shelf
You gotta get a ladder to get these spices
Matter of fact, you might need a drawer
Artificial intelligence to get to these levels right here
Know this is God man, godbody
Always strive and prosper, feel me?
My sound got substance
