Paragone
[Verse 1]
Everybody hating they dont understand the plan
This is DS17 everything on this is grand
Swear my life be like a movie you can take it to the Cannes
Tell the haters cool it off just go chill and pop a xan
Everybody so dramatic they be acting automatic
Everything I do is written you could say its illmatic
It leave behind a legacy its prolly stillmatic
This album number two and the kid is still at it
I done moved up out the basement now we chilling in the attic
Making moves like Jason Statham know the aftermath is graphic
Second to no nigga rig the game like politicians
Donald Trump better duck cuz I'm offing competition
More motion than emotion when Im switching my position
Divide the opposition every day like a tradition
Tired of the trap i might make a new petition
Get a top ten list, ATP is in addition
[Hook]
Yeah and that's the way it is
(uh okay) that's the way it goes
(uh alright) that's the way it is
(uh okay) I guess that's how it goes
Fuck the competition
Fuck a paragon and opposition
Fuck you if you not in my position
Whip switch lanes like we playing Poll Position
Sleeping on the kid, Freddy's coming for a visit
[Verse 2]
Niggas want to sign me, these labels want to bind me
Find me on the shelf guess my chest reads "try me"
I ain't playing games, fuck a skate I be grinding
These niggas stay blocked like congestion in a synus
Call me Midas with the hands every track I touch is gold
Give a fuck about some jordans I will never sell my soul
Want my life to fucking matter, greatest story ever told
Flex my abs in the system this is how we take control
Everybody's competition when they break the fucking code
Niggas always want some prizes this a fucking Game Show?
This a message from a legend every dream I see is Cole
I've been working on myself, im progressive with the flow
Now how bout dat?
[Hook]
Yeah and that's the way it is
(uh okay) that's the way it goes
(uh alright) that's the way it is
(uh okay) I guess that's how it goes
Fuck the competition
Fuck a paragon and opposition
Fuck you if you not in my position
Whip switch lanes like we playing Poll Position
Sleeping on the kid Freddy's coming for a visit
[Interlude: Lyndon B. Johnson]
We believe that all men are created equal
Yet many are denied equal treatment
We believe that all men have certain unalienable rights
Yet many Americans do not enjoy those rights
We believe that all men are entitled to the blessings of liberty
Yet millions are being deprived of those blessings
Not because of their own failures, (true)
But because of the color of their skin. (true)
[Outro]
Everybody hating they dont fully grasp the plan
Im just tryna save the people this a hard fucking task
This racist shit ain't adding up face the facts and fuck the math
Pull up in a sicker whip with newer chains the slave is back, damn
