DISTANCE
[Verse 1]
I don't got bars, I got perspectives
I don't make art based on incentives
My old gray heart, it never rested
Hope when I find peace, my stomach can digest it
I only judge me off my metrics
'Cause they'll use their standards to make you die peasant
If it don't feel right, I'm quick to dip
Check the triceps, bitch, yeah
Dues overpaid, but it's made me stronger
Your hand's overplayed if you played me formally
All of my negative impulsеs, they try to corner me
But on thе corner's where I learned the shit I be performin', see
The regular is toxic, but I beat the normalcy
This fame shit be borin' me
I like mami visuals, so she present orally
The pussy mean, but her shoulder that I lean on mean more to me

[Chorus]
Sometimes it get loud, but you could hear the truth from a distance
And, no, I ain't too proud, but I don't pick and choose, I'm consistent
I got my two feet down, work for it, I don't got a wish list
Ooh, I'ma keep my distance, I'ma keep my distance

[Verse 2]
Your whole swag is a Ponzi scheme
Y'all just follow leads, don't even got a dream
How I'm gon' kill it?
I dubbed your shit then stepped in this bitch
Like I'm Skrillex, y'all can have it when I'm finished
Ain't stressin' the little shit
While y'all somewhere pretendin' all this mids is piff
Used to put the orange peels in that, sell it as tropical haze
That's what your favorite rapper did to you that got him some fame
Comparin' them to me, stop it, behave
Used to judge me 'cause the optics was craze
But I found my steez, finally got the room for some oxygen, babe
Now sit back, watch me do the impossible, babe
Rather stand tall than swim in the main stream
If the current's underbelly's made of fake dreams
If the objective's be an object in the mirror, then I'll pass
'Cause we all know they usually ain't what they seem
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes it get loud, but you could hear the truth from a distance
And, no, I ain't too proud, but I don't pick and choose, I'm consistent
I got my two feet down, work for it, I don't got a wish list
Ooh, I'ma keep my distance, I'ma keep my distance
