Now they really wanna see me get low, but I got too much soul in the center when I spit that flame Better duck down quick when the venom I kick finna split that brain Can’t grip that pain, but I rip that chain, now I’m free from the weight that clipped my aim Tryna fix that frame, but the glass got cracks, and the past came back when I lit that shame Hit that lane when the beat gets twisted, quick with the diction, slick with conviction Spit in a rhythm that rips with precision, flippin' the script with a split in the vision Took my hurt, made murder of verses, surgically purge and I burn in the furnace Turned to a wordsmith, curse in the cursive, burst from the dirt like a serpent emergin’ See, I’m a catalyst battlin’ patterns of manicness, panic and static, I channel it passionate Smashin’ the mask that I fashioned, I’m past it, but damage still gnashin’ like famine in passages Takin’ my medicine measured in metered bars, they can’t fathom the passage I’m passin’ through Laugh at the past but the path that I tracked is intact and intact with a crack where the ashes blew (hold breath, shift tone) I don’t really wanna be the one to give the pity party But they never really wanna see me be a martyr When I’m killin’ off the villain in me bit by bit They dismiss this spit like it’s shit, but I’m smarter Flip like karma, never get caught in the drama Better bring armor if you wanna walk in my genre ‘Cause I’m armored up in pain, precision, paranoia and poetry This mic is my katana, now show to me the show that you hold your untold goals in, vote to veto the lows you grow to sew the rows of hope in your loathe... Yeah I been the villain in rooms full of clones, no soul in the tone, just zones on the phones They mimic a mimic, gimmick the image, then fidget when spittin’ alone I’m livin’ alone with a mind like a minefield, time killed, climbed hills, cried still While the lies build, I’m signed sealed, delivered through rhyme, divine will I was the remedy back when they medicated with melodies Now it's amphetamines, pressin’ me down into hellish extremities Better be vetted if ever you step into lyrical weaponry Seven deadly with the pen, evidently that’s the pedigree I been pushed out the margins, heart in a harness, sharpened with darkness Never been harmless, art is carnage carved in catharsis You startin’ somethin’ I finished, I pivot and tarnish your harvest Bar for bar, I’m a Martian, marchin’ where the hardest departed I go psycho in cycles, write like disciples fightin’ for purpose Twistin’ these verses tight as the cursin’ bites at the surface Churches couldn’t reach me, labels tried to bleach me So I spit ether to teach ‘em all that pain don’t preach me You better believe I bled for this Leanin’ on beats like therapists Feenin’ to feed that nemesis That voice in my head, embellished hiss But I took that venom and bottled it up in a rhythm, then gifted it This ain’t penmanship, get it right this is the edge I use to keep from slittin’ it
