It’s Vader [Verse 1] My circle got a waiting list, the exit’s automatic He was acting like a mastermind, his moves were problematic You can have a good accountant, still be terrible with numbers He was adding up his wins, I was subtracting all his options I got expensive taste in words, every sentence got a markup They throw dirt on my name, I make a garden out the gossip You ain’t cut from what I’m cut from, you just shop where I shop Difference is, I know the difference between a plug and an outlet He was reaching for the crown with a ladder made of favors Now he’s looking for a handout from the hands he used to shake with That’s a bad investment, all that interest in appearances The stock was never worth the hype, you bought it off the clearance rack I got patience like a landlord when the rent is overdue Let the silence build a case, I ain’t got nothing to prove He was banking on a bluff, couldn’t cover what he drew Now the check came back with interest and the signature was you I don’t give a man a pass just because we share a history Some people make a living off the gaps in your memory He can tell it how he wants, I’m not fighting for the edit If the shoe fits, wear it; if it pinches, don’t forget it [Hook — Fully Rapped] Missed all the signs, bad judgment Bet it all, now the bill’s public Counted my money, misread the budget Numbers don’t lie, can’t talk your way from it Everybody got a plan till the details surface Everybody plays a genius till the genius needs a purpose Thought you saw it coming, still got caught running Clear view, wrong move — bad judgment [Verse 2] I got bars with hidden fees, better read between the clauses You can win a little argument and still be taking losses He was talking out of pocket, now his pockets looking modest Funny how the biggest boss is first to blame the office I don’t follow every trend, I got enough sense to miss it They be chasing after waves, I can tell who’s making ripples He was fishing for reactions, I was patient with the tension Now he’s casting all the blame like the facts need his permission I can make a long story short, make a short fuse longer You can measure someone’s principles by what they trade for dollars He put all his eggs in baskets that belonged to other people Now he’s scrambling for a breakfast while they eat without him I don’t need a grand entrance, let the word arrive before me You can own the whole spotlight, still be irrelevant to the story They confuse a little motion with a reason to applaud it I’ve seen people run in circles, swear the struggle made them orbit Your logic needs repairs, every claim needs restoration You keep changing definitions just to dodge the implications That’s a lot of explanation for a poor calculation You didn’t lose your way by accident, you liked the destination [Hook — Fully Rapped] Missed all the signs, bad judgment Bet it all, now the bill’s public Counted my money, misread the budget Numbers don’t lie, can’t talk your way from it Everybody got a plan till the details surface Everybody plays a genius till the genius needs a purpose Thought you saw it coming, still got caught running Clear view, wrong move — bad judgment [Verse 3] I got history with the hard way, we know each other well Every lesson came with interest, every shortcut had a bill Some mistakes become a pattern, some become the way you think Some will watch the whole thing burning, ask you who supplied the ink I don’t need to win the room, I need my read to be correct There’s a difference between presence and demanding some respect One is felt before it enters, one’s performed until it exits One can stand without a witness, one needs witnesses to credit They were counting on reactions, I was counting inconsistencies You can fool a crowd with confidence, not somebody who remembers Every version of the story, every date, every December You keep changing what occurred; I keep track of every edit And I know I got blind spots, I’m not selling you perfection I can take a loss and learn without protecting my reflection That’s the difference between judgment and the ego’s intervention One can change its mind with facts, one just changes the subject You can blame it on the timing, on the people, on the weather But a bad hand played incorrectly ain’t the same as bad luck, ever Some mistakes will cost you money, some will cost you your connections Worst mistake is knowing better, still repeating the same lesson [Hook — Fully Rapped] Missed all the signs, bad judgment Bet it all, now the bill’s public Counted my money, misread the budget Numbers don’t lie, can’t talk your way from it Everybody got a plan till the details surface Everybody plays a genius till the genius needs a purpose Thought you saw it coming, still got caught running Clear view, wrong move — bad judgment
