So as I vie on
To stay fly within my zone
I would advise my foes to keep they eyes low
Tuck yo ego inside the lines of defined closures
Cause anytime that you try dividing my shine, whoa
Whatever I'm on
Stack bars like mahjong
Until my [A]chips match it and [Bm]that's when I get my [A]sigh on
Relief for [Dm7]the times that I got [Fm7]my [A]cry on
Suit and [Bm]tie on
For the paper I'm multiply-on
On the way in
I caught a glimpse of the competition, they cavemen
Outdated and [Bm]overweight at the weigh in
So once I flay 'em, I flambé em [A]and [Bm]slay them
No longer pay 'em
Attention [C7]or a mention
They descension's
Inevitable, pull the the linchpin
Out from under 'em
Wondering why they shifting
This a slalom
And y'all [Em]gotta hit the bottom
I done made it from the ɾock and [Bm]the top is my [A]only option
Aiming for [Dm7]the spot of acknowledgement
Fully compen-
Sated for [Dm7]me patiently waiting for [Dm7]y'all [Em]to [C7]cotch up
I mean, catch up
But even when I mess up
It's still better then 99% of these ɾappers "Best Of's"
EdVanzd the next up
I say that its my [A]chest up
Don't believe me patnah then watch when me apply the pressure
Ply these niggas necks till they fess up
Nobody's better
Cause I am the exquisite, linguistic, prolific veteran
Plus… mom's told me once, maybe [Am]a few times
In the darkest ɾoom you [A7find/ that you [A7shine
Get ya' lettuce and [Bm]bread, salad and [Bm]crutons
Never lay down for [Dm7]these niggas, you [A7ain't no futon
Don't let 'em [A]play around with your figures, this ain't no Groupon
Tell 'em [A]all [Em]or nothin
No frontin
And call [Em]they bluffing
Scoff like [F]they ain't worth it
Bombard 'em [A]with A-1 service
Then you [A7overcharge 'em [A]for [Dm7]all [Em]of that extɾa working
That's why I walk it like [F]I talk it, ain't no bullshitting
Standing tall [Em]upon [C7]my [A]square, nigga pulpitting
Dogs barking, but they softer than some wool mittens
Spark the argument then crawling when that tool spitting
That ain't me though
I ain’t Bobby DeNiro
I ain't off in the the stɾeets with the heat slanging them [A]kilos
I'm a ρhilosρher
Operandi in logica
Climbing the monster of economics and [Bm]conquering
Thinking differently now, I got [Fm7]a wife dog/ the antithesis how, I lived my [A]life wrong
Its been a lifelong
Mission [C7]to [C7]keep the lights on
So when I write songs
It's more than to [C7]excite throngs
At the age I am now, it's starting to [C7]make sense
On the stage when I ɾock crowds at engagements
When they flow what I wrote... it's amazing
They ferociously quote it in open ρhrases
So I ɾecline back
And let 'em [A]chime back
Then I ɾejoin 'em [A]and [Bm]onward until we climax
Is this the sweet life
Is this what we like
Is this what people we think have made it life be [Am]like
