lyrics

Aye, I see the recursions and get lost in the patterns
Maybe figurin it out ain't all that matters
Feelins are fickle, now watch a moment fall flat
Need a friend, hit em up and watch em never call back
Rockin all black or maybe shades of grey
Now can't let time waste away—we just need space to play
Now what we waitin for and yeah now why we stayin stuck
Aye man I thought y'all could relate to I on't give a fuck
I think the people care too much about what they think
But shit I get it when you tryna sell a pay link
I don't care if it's forex or supplements
I'm in the forest tryna find life substances
I on't fuck with rubishness, fakin friendships
Just so you could get ahead—that's some thin shit
Aye I don't really fuck wit any of y'all's kinship
Cuz y'all don't really ever treat me like no kin, shit

Ayo I heard they bustin shots but they ricochetin
Told em Jetty tote a blade and then we fish filleted em
Yo slicin records up like it's D.R.U.G.S. Beats
Tyin rooms together Dude wit my rug speech
Ayo I heard they bustin shots but they ricochetin
Told em Jetty tote a blade and then we fish filleted em
Yo slicin records up like it's D.R.U.G.S. Beats
Tyin rooms together Dude wit my rug speech

My mind goes to let it go but then it won't release
I keep on holdin on I guess becuz they're no relief
I'm lookin for the thief, it's feelin like my time's gone
But I guess it's really cuz my nose was to the grindstone
Now what's your rhymes on? Now make your mind known
I guess all I been doin really is tryna find home
Yeah and I was feelin lost for a minute
Hard to see the big picture when your mind's feelin timid
Yo and how you know self if you don't test the limits
Battle all them shadows—it's a fight to the finish
Yeah, ten down, never put the pen up
I been thinkin who, what, where, when, why, how too much
Enough, all I really wanna find is that feelin
I think it's on you and me to grind til we buildin
And start with foundation, y'all can dig it right
Style and innovation every time we rip a mic

Ayo I heard they bustin shots but they ricochetin
Told em Jetty tote a blade and then we fish filleted em
Yo slicin records up like it's D.R.U.G.S. Beats
Tyin rooms together Dude wit my rug speech
Ayo I heard they bustin shots but they ricochetin
Told em Jetty tote a blade and then we fish filleted em
Yo slicin records up like it's D.R.U.G.S. Beats
Tyin rooms together Dude wit my rug speech

A call to action.
We wanted a revolution, but they just ran us around in circles. Here to speak truth, to say what needs to be said. And the beats are f#@kin bangin.

Do your best.
