lay in the cut

get on these beats i execute them with excellence my
predicament that made me somewhat of a pessimist why
do all these suckas want to deconstruct my progress i
don’t hit the blunt
i hit the booth whenever i’m stressed i’m
still putting on for a city that don’t reciprocate
couldn’t even give me ten dollars for the take
but you got 00 dollars to go and see drake
fake love fake love straight up to my faaaaceeee
uh
i’m unimpressed by these perpetrators
but i aint pressed cuz im one of the best with this pen and paper it’s
only a matter of time
before they recognize a real
thats right in front of they eyes

been grinding before my growth spurt

that this little planet called earth
i was finna take over
and this is ain’t cocky
the confidence is just overt
they think i’m stuck up

stuck up no i don’t think
strung out no i don’t know
bent out of shape on broken roads
and i don’t mow on other lawns
no pawn i’m a queen and i mean
for myself by any means
sanity i keep for my health
and i meld to the mold
oh behold and bow down
to the master of the sounds
that make you feel
every type of thing every type of way
every type of being know you’re gonna stay
know you need to stay know you can’t lay
down besides anyone else no one else will
motivate your dreams the way i can
no plan can beat my genius it slides in
short notice creeps up call it perfect shot all wins
just know on empty plates i fill my soul and feed my tomb
absurd it is to know the waking moments of the truth
what’s the price for excellence x5
didn’t know the price for living life was life in order to make moves
name your price know your price yah yahkeep it cool
think twice think twice
before estimating me think twice
think twice think twice before your beat what’s your price
