[Intro: 7xvethegenius] Welcome to the Death of Deuce Of you, and you, and you Uh, 7xve [Verse 1: 7xvethegenius] Finally where I need to be spiritually, I wasn't hearin' him clearly Told 'em that I would merely give it lyrically Therapy wasn't enough for my predecessors Provin' them wrong, I'm entertaining your mental record Do any song like Maya did with the birds She wrote to free from a pigeon coop of a ghetto I'm finally spreadin' wings now I'm soarin' and metaphorin', I told 'em I had it in me They'd rather I talk murder, I told 'em it's condescending Wе vibe on different lеvels With understanding new devils that come with different jewels These diamonds and different metals The ones they said matter but prove you ain't here yet (7xve) They never knew my moves, I took the stair steps (Uh) Ascending with my opinion they praise it like a religion I say it's a small percentage, this only a sudden pivot I thought it was over for me, I knew that I wasn't livin' That shit would boil inside, they boilin' rice and chicken (7xve) Even in bad decisions you see that I step different I used to lay on floors, I told 'em I slept different (Uh) So, look, I understand where you are, I'm there too Just figured I was good with my aim and said shoot I might as well give it to 'em, I know how to rap and shit (Know how to rap and-) I do know some killers and dealers and all about crack and shit (All about crack) Plus, the game is like a mole now, you know some wack and shit But, like, how can they be real when they made of some plastic? I'ma rile 'em up like Kaepernick, that ain't even half of it And'll be chillin' on some Sabbath shit, ain't even Catholic So, before you let yourself go and what they think you should do Just look at all this fly shit, it used to be FUBU Had lobster linguine, I used to eat noodles And you say you a killer, n****, I see right through you You so sick of bein' broke, you gon' spend the whole bag I'm not sayin' don't blow it, I'm just sayin' your soul mad I'm in the club lookin' like money and shit You can just see that i'm rich Smokin' on drugs with n***** who love me and shit, you need to be into this All of my bitches got businesses It took a long time to get me to this Take 'em to light, like I do with the wrist Takin' it light like you do with the risk I need the rent like the first and the fifth This what I like, I won't hurt from a bitch Gotta be Jesus with verses like this Started to see and reversin' the shit I'm talkin' demons and hearses and shit I'm in the demon, I'm swervin' and shit I know the fiend and who servin' the shit But, I know the meaning and purpose of shit What you gon' do with me, n****? Great, I'ma prove it to n***** See, I got the truth with me, n**** I'll never be through with me, n**** And I got a few with me, n**** I'm tryna be cool with n***** They comin' in shootin' at n***** (Bah, bah), if you want that Your situation gon' erase your hope and pride I'm just sayin' grip tight, there's shit on the other side Just think a lil' different 'bout the shit you want and see I'm tryna give to you what wasn't really clear to me (Wasn't really clear to me) 7xve [Outro: 7xvethegenius] Ooh, child (Uh), streets are gonna get greasier (Keep goin') Ooh, child, you better think wiser (Think wiser, keep goin') Ooh, child (7xve), no yellow brick roads to make it easier (Huh) Ooh, child (Keep goin'), just be a survivor
