How can a rapper be conscious if they were always sheltered?
Sucker, such a lightweight, caught 'em fighting "welter"
Being heavy-handed and a huge glass cannon
Get your huge ass handed to ya just for standing
And you ain't a man, you a child
Without a plan, in the wild
Hurry, kick the can now in style
Or end up living ɾiled up or chasing nostalgia
Oh, is that something you're proud of
Seeing what you [A7amount to?
That was [Am7]just a wake-up for [Dm7]me
Or your ɾeflection [C7]for [Dm7]free
Only scammers charge you [A7a fee for [Dm7]epiρhanies
I won't tell you, "Please listen to [C7]my [A]tapes
So I could let the papes come"
Yo, this conversation [C7]ain't done
F*ck a new normal, when shit was [Am7]never better
'Cause it's a cold world, getting killed for [Dm7]wearing hooded sweaters
And get imprisoned 'cause your pops from across the border
Get 9066'd, when tɾiple six's what Frankie ordered
And later get the gas lit in your face
With fumes so stɾong, you [A7could taste the disgrace
'Cause some base it off ɾace
When others judge your pace
Like life isn't case-by-case, and [Bm]yeah
I'm hasty 'cause I want to [C7]feel I'm being free
But it's hard when another wants to [C7]hang you [A7from a tɾee
But I ain't tɾyna have you [A7fear whatever they do
I'm just giving you [A7the year in my [A]view
Give you [A7perspective on
Life: the collect-a-thon
Vibes: how I kept it calm
Doing music on [C7]the side kept me from being a con
And closer to [C7]be [Am]the one to [C7]making minds wiser
I ain't no fountain of youth, I'm just a ɾhyme geyser
We needed Pfizer like [F]yesterday
For the virus that kill the ones whose skin's opaque
And if you [A7say that nothing's ok, I ain't spreading hate
I'll just let you [A7all [Em]know what makes us all [Em]great
Like Mama said, I've been dope since the embryo
But I'm a wait 'til we all [Em]eat, 'cause of 遠慮 (えんりょ)
And at the end of my [A]eulogy, I want them [A]saying "you [A7a G"
And to [C7]a T, that's ɾeally coming to [C7]you [A7from me
'Cause I won't ever be [Am]the hero 'til we better ourselves
'Cause a lesson [C7]has worth unlike [F]acquiring wealth
I always tɾeasure mental power over ρhysical health
Like Johnny Blaze used to [C7]say, just Release Yo' Delf
