The Influencer

Lyrics

[Intro] (Lynex Beats) [Verse] Thinking about which color pallet to paint the canvas 'Cause ever since I became an artist I raised the standards Every time I'm about to release it makes me anxious A genius cannot exist without embracing madness I take the sadness and bottle it My emotions kept building up behind enemy lines, so I overstepped Take a mental picture of me, watch me pose a thrеat 31 years ahead, wear your polar nеck Another day at the office, I never broke a sweat So you'll address me as the baas when you approach my desk I kept it sober as a bartender 'Cause a business is only as good as it's staff members I'm learning hard lessons That'll humble you and have you sitting on park benches Pay attention to the messages that your God's sending Don't be ashamed to pull over and restart engines Even experts ask questions A never ending story, druggies chase dragons I never gave the homeless millions but I gave blankets Second hand clothing and grocery parcels But not once did I think that would set an example I can't help with the way that this life has corrupted me And it's so many laaties who's looking up to me But all the kids wanna be influencers But even Morpheus found Neo as a computerist God's playing a chess game with Lucifer While we wait, our fate lies with our executioner The ones you hang with will put a rope around your neck You don't believe me? Well, how did they get Malcolm X? My own braasa was the one who was betraying me Sending spies inside my operation, infiltrating me I'm coming for my pound of flesh, this is smoked ribs It's Cape Town confidential, code name COVID As a tourist you can never survive how most live 2020 couldn't be unlocked like a phone pin Sirens from the ambulance are angelic Especially when you in the midst of a pandemic Iron sharpens iron, we finally magnetic Running in the finals, winter game, Olympic athletics The lines I don't write dot the best parts I'm used to scribing with the pen, so I press hard 'Cause this is where the plot thickens like a stretchmark But you couldn't beat me with the answers and a head start You tryna put me out the game with a red card But I still set the benchmark as far as Denmark I'm not a gangster but I had to do some gangster shit I'm making ouens protest to upset the establishment 'Cause even from the start of the curve, you couldn't flatten it The way to be great is long and heavy but I'll carry it I don't complain or wipe my tears with the handkerchief Politicians here playing a friendly game of battleships No matter how much you trust them, keep your camels tied 'Cause ouens act very different like Amanda Bynes So worry about your own business and I'll handle mine Ten years of doing, I'm still a little camera shy Don't forget to wear your mask and to sanitize Social distancing, whack rappers stand aside Dreams don't pay bills, we can't afford to rap No internet explorer, we explore the flats Influencers treating their brands like a laundry mat Y?gen 'til the end, this is my endurance lap I appeal to the ladies to stay extra safe I'll kill a man if he hurt you and that's gender based And if black lives matter don't just post it in your captions, show it in your actions [Chorus] This be the realest shit I ever wrote Maybe not but it's very close This be the realest shit I ever wrote Maybe not but it's very close This be the realest shit I ever wrote Maybe not but it's very close This be the realest shit I ever wrote Maybe not but it's very close
