Break It Down Compartmentally

[Verse 1] Snap the cap off facts Let the data drip slow on the pad Every angle Every crack in the glass I catalog rage Then I file it and laugh Cold ledger Keep score Keep scars on the dresser Got a box for the beef One box for the pressure Shelf full of fears I just label ’em ā€œneverā€ Little baggie for the doubts I stash Rubber-band all the plans Stack cash Stack graphs Mind like cabinets Metal and dented Every dark thought in a drawer Alphabetic [Chorus] Break it down compartmentally Put the pain in a box That’s therapy (uh) One shelf for the friends One for enemies Label every move so they never read ahead of me Break it down compartmentally (yeah) File the wins Tuck away the jealousy Everything in place That’s the recipe I don’t spill I just build my legacy [Verse 2] Got a habit for the habit I examine the itch Why I snap like that Why my jaw stay clenched Clip moments like clips Then I stack the clips Rewind ’em in my head till the picture don’t glitch Little folder for the rumors you fed me One more drawer where the ā€œmaybeā€s tempt me Keep calm in a jar on the top rack Twist off the lid when I’m ready to snap back Street lessons written out Three-hole punch Stapled to the code I carved at lunch You see chaos I see shelves and schemes Turn a lifetime of stress to a filing machine (yeah) [Chorus] Break it down compartmentally Put the pain in a box That’s therapy One shelf for the doubts One for energy Turn scars into charts That’s chemistry Break it down compartmentally (uh) File the truth Hide the weaponry Everything in place That’s the centerpiece I don’t talk I just walk with the registry
