lyrics

Verse 1

Spit like a biscuit
Hitting your throat and leaving your mouth dry
‘cause my quotes distilled with the pain of
Living on the outside
Watching my mother watching my only grandma die
And you want me to lie and say that you dope?
I ain’t got time
I was in the room when her spirit left her flesh
I been hurtin’ ever since we laid her down to rest
Power fantasy’s the only coping mechanism left
I’m prepared to kill you if the sacrifice would give her breath
You don’t feel my words?
You gonna feel them when I grab the tech
Maybe you gon’ feel what she was feeling
When it leaves you wet
Yes, I changed
I was trying to change
Don’t you get upset
I’ve been broken more occurrences than I can recollect
Tired of feeling like a wreck
Tired of hearing people say my name without the right respect
Taught the only path to power as a man is violence
Either that or my ability to make that pussy wet
Either that, or the numeric value printed on the check
So you know I’m squeezin’ to relieve your spirit from your flesh
Gettin’ head inside whatever car you find the most impressive
You think this shit is fact?
You ain’t ready to receive my fuckin message
And after all of that, I still have no relief
Known to shun the stereotypical male mentality
‘causing pain to others never been a power source for me
Tried it out, but energy like that will never set me free

Chorus
If you heard about me,
Then you know I got that yeah yeah
And if you ever see me
You know I got that yeah yeah
That yeah yeah
you know I got that yeah yeah
That yeah yeah
So you never need to worry ‘bout me



Verse 2

I never understand why other people wanna rap
If it’s for the money, there’s easier ways to get to that
Remixes was poppin’ ‘cause they free to make
I’m in the red
They say I’m on the rise
I say it’s feeling like an easy-bake
Eight hours under lightbulbs
But I still ain’t makin’ any bread
Take you on the ride
Maybe I’m slippin’ ‘cause I ain’t a thug
Maybe I ain’t slidin’ ‘cause I ain’t gettin’ none of Trina’s hugs
Either way, I’m tryna make some shit today
‘cause music is my religion
And rhyming words is how I pray
Chapter 30, verse 1,000,000 in the book of James
If you step inside a booth, you never gonna be the same
‘cause when I did, I found a creature I could never tame
He keeps me going, even when he gives me only pain
If you an artist, then you carry a heavy tradition
Of looking at all of the people who inspired you
And taking notes
On they technique and career position
Then looking at your circumstances
And feeling the difference

Chorus
If you heard about me,
Then you know I got that yeah yeah
And if you ever see me
You know I got that yeah yeah
That yeah yeah
you know I got that yeah yeah
That yeah yeah
So you never need to worry ‘bout me
If you ever heard about me,
Then you know I got that yeah yeah
And if you ever motherfucking see me
You know I got that yeah yeah
That yeah yeah
you know I got that yeah yeah
That yeah yeah
So you never need to worry





Oma

Was gonna sing this part
But there are just too many words
Too many emotions I try to ignore ‘cause it hurts
I can’t imagine you not here in this world
But it doesn’t matter what I can imagine
Because you left it for good
That morning, there was a stranger in your hospice bed
That twinkle in your eye was gone
And what we found instead
Was someone that I couldn’t recognize
Or would rather not
The only noise was that machine they had
Keeping your lungs from stopping
Desperately wanted to hear your voice
And reminisce
About the ways we used to laugh when I was just a kid
But your bags were already packed
For somewhere far away
The thought that we could get you back
I guess was my mistake
You took your final breath
And I could feel your spirit leave
The doctors came and checked
But it was no surprise to me
Thank you for being in my life
I love and miss you all the time
Until we meet again
You’ll be forever in this heart of mine
Oma
