it sound like bloodstone where the thugs roam
crushed bones from clones,
mega popular aquifer dropping shots of patron
the off the rocker author often raw as the jaw on ya dome
my watch offers a jaundice tone, cross like oliver stone
scars to your face, drag along shards on the plate
cut your teeth, harvest with grace
the harshest fate more gems, regardless i slaved
avalanche stance on the hottest of days,
fall away with the solemnest gaze, it was all i could say
my whole squad elite, the roll we on, molded bronze, rhymes like petroleum leaks
we flicked the last match at the floor where it be
riley on this joint was holding a beam
lick a shot to show up a scene, blue veins told you the meaning
i ain’t even know you was decent, no clue is a whole slew of demons
akuma pose, oni the only version opposed
slyly slide like a merchant with goals
life perfect, finna purchase a home
a sinner on the verge of a throne, posted at the center alone
what the measure of the messengers role?
cut your teeth, harvest with grace
the harshest fate more gems, regardless i slaved
avalanche stance on the hottest of days,
fall away with the solemnest gaze, it was all i could say

it’s the brushed metal menace, barrel through your city block
apparel view is strictly hot, my marrow cools as the arrow pulls
i hope you cherish pops
with flair do the chairman waltz a la carrot top
garish bops get cherry popped
when holy hold the loaded semi
send my darts directly through the doors of your chevy dude
my pen was heavy too
flood the page, smuggest face, my hand was like another levee
coincidentally, the wit was deadly
like machete steel, express pressure your lesser chest can feel,
permanently yet to heal, still
keep pace on my lonesome chase
defeat fate till my bones erase
the chosen slate molded the plate, you know i ate
chopped bodies plodding cross on these frozen lakes
smoke my woes away
everybody so afraid

ninety seven bape like notorious did, the story is
rhyme stepping skate performances slid
the moral is, sublime heaven gates the coroners hid
so every time i flex a page i’m giving glory to big
support the order we resorting to the border less shift
i’m thorough as the mortar and brick, some sort of torture to spit
turn the tide of war until the torturers quit
on tour with the lord of the gift, holy the homie told me we steamrolling adrift
beings amidst scheme reaving exist, we was the shit
the team was like kings on the strip, vietnamese fleece lean on your bitch
fur elise leaps from the leased rolls we roll in from
flow is fly as hell ysl opium pour homme,
fucking fire as the brain the whole scheme sparked from, retire at home
50 scent massacre foes,
scraps at ya toes get snatched up slow
sip the brandy while i sat in the gold
the sheets satin, gilded threads stashed in my robes
50 scent massacre foes,
scraps at ya toes get snatched up slow
sip the brandy while i sat in the gold
the sheets satin, gilded threads stashed in my robes

the bezel shine like bechamel, bedded diamonds dying light
ignite sights where devils dwell, might as well nighty night
several of the slightly frightened tykes, lightning strike specials swell
likely frail jezebels wail my pencil wells like hail
pun verses converging in rumbling churches, lurking slugs bursting out the abdomen
hand cannon blam at your fam with the mag again
scramble back, get clapped real fast by my grammar pack
golden mac, finna splat back, crack your flannel friend
the damage strapped straight to the strat, stark fact
partition slipping slick to the side with the battered eye
we don’t fraternize with pretentious weak wenches no pretenses
pretended beheadings lead legends to seek lessons leap ridicule
get rid of the minuscule dude, in the physical split him in two
bent penmanship peddles a rich rule, rick rude
rip ligaments, many meant to be fuel,
give credit where it’s due, the great barrel through

the suede cut stay up from pay stubs, my wages won
you could say i’m dumb, the spade had sprung from the tongue, you a wayward son
get spread by an arraignment of guns, raining with the bang of a drum
the pain begun, left the flesh a cage from the jump, spent time as a laymen for crumbs
leather pouches posted by the pockets of bums
cavaliers leering at funds, jealousy searing the lungs, reveling in heresy rung
embedded blessings bellowing from yellowing slums
the veil revealing where the treble was from, just a meddling front
veer clear, move momentum on the up and up
cut the crust, the monumental vessel was the bloody cup, the chemistry was ugly stuff
skipped verdicts when shit worsens i’m imperfect
with no relief i release all my burdens
should i stall the earth is urgently turning still
for eternity, till it’s my turn to be still
while flourishing my purpose reveals,
continuing to skirt all the shills, chills

preem and gov connect, dream team gods who next
simple as the process kept
lockjaw squabbles vex, nodding off solemn threats
gnawed off like falling threads
scars carved on my cartilage
on par with a hollowed head,
en guarde from the sovereign set
drop bombs where the monsters crept
no heart it was harvested
preem and gov connect, dream team gods who next
simple as the process kept
lockjaw squabbles vex, nodding off solemn threats
gnawed off like falling threads
scars carved on my cartilage
on par with a hollowed head,
en guarde from the sovereign set
drop bombs where the monsters crept
on moms we gon all get fed

tears (prod. keysun)

the shadow of death, the gavel connect, patterns reflect statuses met
fractions of blessings shattered for less
best guess, spit magma, i had to collect
rather ragged stanzas, no answer i’m grasping at air
you get capped, casper appear
the catch was the casualty clear,
impasse bitch slapped a magnet for tears
magnum i’m flashing blasting, the jump from placid was weird
now you a caption for years, laid flat on your beard
plastered, you rather a smack to veneers,
imagine a fragment catapult, never had a hope
fuck you rapping for, mismanaged on a bracken boat,
sinking slow, fuck you think you know
everything on a need to know, preemo scheme to get the dough
my favorite scene has yet to show
the veil remained closed, tryna stay afloat
i didn’t fold, the game was sold not told
you lames know, the sole aim was the goal, you sank on the slope
but still i cry tears of a hustler
wipe tears from my mother, pull out beers for her brothers
that's above us, make beds for the babies
tuck kids under covers, buy cribs for their mothers
but still i cry tears of a hustler
wipe tears from my mother, pull out beers for her brothers
that's above us, make beds for the babies
tuck kids under covers, buy cribs for their mothers
