Production: Man Like Nells (Sample Joe Dassin - L'Amerique)

lyrics

Even if you take your time you won't understand my pain fam
Cos your emotions are as real as a fake tan
You made your plans to be the main man
See you got a name for yourself but truss me I'm bout to make mine

The wrong perspective makes you egocentric
Now we got Donald trump running for elections
A bunch lies that will cost a hundred thousand lives
You run out of credit no surprise that we don't get your message

think talking shit makes you forget but we all know that's incorrect
Probably plotting bout the country you'll invade next
Realised I wanted more so changed the way I thought before
Pick up the microphone pronounce the syllables to open doors

them other rap niggas like to brag when they rap
They all think they're shit even doe their bars are crap
Promoting the taste of crime that's how they've got us in a trap
But ima find the strength to act and that regardless of this fact

So I'll Supply the filthy wisdom just exercise my vision
This a Conversation sparking certain inspiration
If we talking bout flows I'll be creative like Picasso
what genius y'all know that ain't a motherfucking weirdo

But don't chase the fame in vain you know all these hoes the same
Just make the magic happen like that nigga David Blaine
more than gifted by this point you probably feel my presence
Read between my lines I guarantee you'll learn a lesson

Anticipation of tension creating impatience
Lyricism directed towards a new dimension
Cos The greed for money made judas sacrifice his saviour
& It's kinda funny how he didn't get to spend it neither

Promises of education of the non believer
Starting to perceive the understanding taught by Martin Luther
Society shapes into a certain type of nigger
One with a blurred vision who shall fail to see bigger picture

Tryna find answers in the blood of his brothers
Now ask Cain if he was able to
Went from kings and queens to slaves submerging their success
Appreciation of our sins due to the fact that's it's a trend

A coloured man with charm and only
one task
Another chance to let my craft redefine the word class
My perception will stay the same the day I'm seeing money bags
Cos in this culture clash I made a plan to construct a path

Spit the fire on these tyrants so they could cut the crap
Sick and tired of the sirens on their cars silencing our past
And we all know that they been tearing us a part
But I'm this scientist of art that ll spread the light upon the dark

It would have never got this far if we united from the start
No need to be tony stark to decipher their mirage
It'd be a white lie to claim that black isn't beautiful
Like getting a booty call but pretending that duty calls

Know it's hard to move on from your goddamn past
But It ain't right to be wrong when the wrong feels right
First things first enjoy the seconds you know time flies fast
Here's a dry fact bro you gotta fight back

So When I'm on the mic I'll be a Tyson with the lyrics
Entitled to be winning I'm a titan to these gimmicks
My passion be explicit fuck the fashion of the critics
So pay attention to the comments Like a lesson from a sibling

This the perfect coordination between thought and action
Those secret allegations shall not mean regression
The purpose of temptation is to strengthen understanding
So focus on plan A who gives a fuck what the other plan is

Serving all these rappers I ain't cooking anymore
Yet I ain't even tryna prove that I'm the shit no more
the inspiration given coming from my composition
Shall be more than enough to silence my competition
