The Darkness
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
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
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
