Dotted Line

[Part I]

[Verse 1: The Way I Be]
100 companies, corporations control the planet
Destructive patterns of manufacturing wreaking havoc
Peep the manuscript, people panicking, fear and sadness
Insincere with no passion in it, just bad intentions
Trash bins with plastic brimmin’ way past the limit
Viral sickness this spiral sentence inspired brilliance
We need to rise, devise a plan, and then implement
Don’t be a simp and be convinced by schemin' villains
Greed in business, breathin' chemicals, streams acidic
Rain corrosive, outdated notions, kept feeding into it
Daily dosage of waste and stolen land, stolen life
Holdin' hands with those who told you lies
Time and time again...

[Verse 2: Cathcart]
Time and time again, we’re mislead
They just lie and lie for bread, instead
Y'all just burn it all down, like there's nothing to lose
Melt it all down, like it's nothing to you
Since you'll be dead long before the Earth is
Either we're in a drought, from heat waves
Or we're gonna drown in these waves
Need to avert this

[Part II: The Way I Be & Cathcart]
I’m tellin’ these amateurs knock it off
Way that they sound in it, I’m appalled
All of the counterfeits ain’t involved
With what we got planned for this rapathon
This word of mouth, crowd pass it on
Blazin’ The Way, that’s the path I’m on
I’ll go down as a great get my Hussle on
I’ve dealt with insane, where my struggle from
Sheltered, contained now my number one thing that I’ll never become
Felt me some pain, but got health in my veins
Every cell in my brain, man I’m second to none
Can’t dwell on the days that I fell on my face
Cause I’m well on my way, passing everyone
Made hella mistakes, through the Ls that I take
You can tell that I change up perspective a ton
Said, it’s easy to lessen a loss into less than a loss
It’s a lesson a lot of the time
Takeaway message, it harden your grind
Can’t fade the progression, it sharpens your mind
Take a breath and refreshen your heart with a rhyme
To stardom they rise then postpartum become unresolvable
Due to the pharmies prescribed
Why? (Why?)
Cuz life a commodity, they want you starvin’ and blind
Complacent and ready to sign ya entire life away on the dotted line
And I’m starting to find that it’s true
I’m just a product designed to consume
Looking for objects to buy for my room
Half my life spent tucked in the sheets
Other half, sitting up in a seat
Have something to eat, then I’m brushing my teeth
Then succumbing to sleep, man I’m stuck on repeat
I used to take solace in knowing that no one could tell me I wasn’t unique
But it’s hard to feel special considering that everyone is unique
We gotta accept that, don’t be rash and neglect that
And never abandon the mission whenever you wrestle with setbacks (Never)
I’m lettin’ the checks stack
When I catch a vibration, addressin’ the nation
You faint when the bass on your chest slap
Tell the simps to give ya some distance
Since I need sixes, step back
No mo’ pretentious stretch rap
You was cappin’ the second you said that
The Way I Be wreckin’ these records
It made me executive head captain
Dredging republican fed cabinets
Claim revenant voted on ghost ballots
It’s evident POTUS is so calloused, heh
Ain’t accepting that these votes valid
That Four Seasons landscaping headline looked
Like a cut from the Onion, no shallots
Trump is showing he’s a chauvinist
With bad sportsmanship and good showmanship
And we’re over it, we need zero ego
Let’s grant statehood to Puerto Rico
Yeah, and to the land where the Capitol lies
Like I said, gotta capitalize
On your Ls, I ain’t capping with lies
All my Ls look like capital “i”s
Bet on myself, just a nerd rappin’
When it’s nerve rackin’, I won’t turn back ‘cause
I’ve got pure passion, with the verse craftin’
