[Verse 1: Billy Woods] Supposed to have my back but knife in my neck No surprise really it was the nation who came for Brother X Caesar on the steps Selassie while we slept Huey P took three in the Acorn projects You wouldn't believe how the reptiles wept while gnawing your flesh Reckless talk in the breeze, I wager they not a threat But then again life or limb is a hell of a big bet Double or nothing midnight in the garden She left in a pumpkin, my expression didn't change Timothy Dunkin, gotta trust someone sometime for something You probably think fam and friends will be think and thin Better think again, for every ten when you win You luck if it's one or two that still come through I get thanks and break bread, spliffs is hog leg Jay woods smoke good the best is unsaid Dread I've done bled, fought nail and tooth Shared the last plate of food I used to cop myself a dutch you aloof Split the golden goose, no regrets You can't blame the youth I signed my name with the red x [Verse 2: Vordul Mega] Rocking academic bib hoping I was born for music Like art I was drawn to it, while some is cartoons Statements of emotions with points is made sharp As the harpoon, some is non-intelligent Going in and out of relationships, like water for elephants On elevators hella thick, spit massive, collapsing beat Like an accordion, recordings and stereo optical That's audible unless void assessing me New abilities to open up new levels like Metroid, voyage on another plateau Everybody either rap fast or rap slow We rap dro minus that, my ninja spit classic quotes Without an arm or neck flashy roads Only float what is known opposed to those Growing nose, but that's already Everybody tryna make dough like Betty Knowing the road is heavy as the dome stairway On my mom wishing I could fly in these difficult times Rhyme getting through life, spent in a few lines And zone in the maze, where they even tryna tame the grown Everybody searching for family, similar to ways power is gained And the game of thrones is a pain to most And the game to those that maneuver with a lame approach Gotta stay your woke, knowing every goal takes a toll What a passion to grow, we spit collaborative flows [Verse 3: Billy Woods] Snake slither sideways cider luck smile fake I screw face, foul funks handshake leave foul taste Friends yesterday now I look on in disgust At the things niggas'll do for a couple bucks Used to play it off, now I'm like "y'all play too much" Take, take, take, for these greedy niggas is never enough Mouth full swollen gut talking 'bout the sign these papers Apostates is worse than haters, claim the flag but you a traitor Wack albums we let you slide, when you sent them wack verses Niggas wasn't surprised, sullen legacy Punchline garbage, spineless you spitting straight cotton Twenty dollar videos mucking like you the hardest Wanna do some hard shit, look in the mirror at a nigga Who rather duck and dodge than pay with [?] you bitch
