about

this song was inspired by E-Fav of Clear Soul Forces. he told me i was the man. i believed his sentiment but i don't really believe i'm the man, hence the first line. everything flowed from there. thanks, duder.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
i'm the man
but only in my mind
and only 50% of the time

getting caught in practices that critically interfere with my grind
in other words, i'm good at wasting time

good at making lines
not for coke overdoses more for dope quotes n boasts
mostly making rhymes

and you can dutty wine shake behinds
hey it's fine
you playing your position
i'll focus on playing mine

staying in the limelight would be nice
grazing the crime life, facing 3 strikes
babylon take away your de-lights

avalon, ex-calibur armed, the king type
...try to be fly and get a wing sniped

catch me in the Chi at a wingstop
visiting Raj, Zain, and Marcos
Adam and Jack, El and Matt

selecting tracks at a bar most
nights, sending vibrations to ward off
beastly marks shown in the form of bar-codes

solving this rap puzzle
get these pussies some cat muzzles
it seems every month the crap doubles

we try to meet peacefully, cats scuffle
somebody reaches into a black Duffle
and just like that you getting clapped, snuffed you

(Verse 2)
.my buddy delivers sandwiches for sandwich shops

i'm gonna order ham on rye
have him deliver it to a landfill and then
kill him with a cannon shot
hook his pieces to wires
shock him with ample watts

i'm a terrible friend in cheap flannel tops
...if i had deep pockets, i would gamble lots


dirty looks to the people sorta mad cuz they cancelled cops
like they had some kinda substantial stock

in seeing poor people treated like mishandled props
the boys in blue must think they knights in Camelot

younger generation ain't got no examples watch em
scream "fuck school"
and eat foods that make enamel rot

no kids yet
...i see it as one of God's biggest tests
the results are rarely based on intellect

you a robotic/leper/zombie if you claim that you don't feel it yet
you need love, you should get a pet

a falling cigarette to signal your imminent death
i hope your afterlife's a tumble down infinite steps

since gifted with breath i been a threat to self
gimme respect and gimme next if you wanna help
