Take me as I am,
'Cause that's how I'm comin'

And I don't believe in days off
I'll be an insomniac 'til I blow up like Napalm
In 2020 feeling like I'm Ray Charles
If I fall short then I'm preparing for the take off
And life be feeling crazy I just stay calm
Everything is temporary 'til you gotta face God
Haven't got excited for my birthday in like 10 years
But it's cool shit be feeling like a cakewalk
Shooting for the stars and and I'm feeling like a AR
Feeling like a Smith nigga pull up like I'm JR
Fuck a wave I be chilling by the pool right? (Right)
I'm just trynna hit the 8 ball
Out here they be calling pussy fouls but I play raw
Gotta put a mask on just so I can play ball
I can't take a short Ima stand tall
Red Den Redemption and it's looking like a stand-off
I said red den redemption
The Den where I rest in If I said, then I meant it
Look, I be wit my niggas like Red, GZA, Method
If the function looking corny then I head for the exit
I need my black people to get blessed with a weapon
'Cause they trynna knock us out like the meds at the dentist
The way I'm living life inside my head is a death wish
Put yo name in a death note put my pain in a sentence

The way I'm living life inside my head is a death wish
Put yo name in a death note put my pain in a sentence
(The way I'm living life inside my head is a death wish
Put yo name in a death note put my pain in a sentence)

Yeah, lotta y'all won't even get to the 2nd verse I bet
But Ima talk my shit, Ight one take

And I can't post a picture with niggas (Nah)
'Cause they change up, then I got they bitch in my mentions
I came up different so I don't get they methods
They a call each other sisters go on vacay and end it
And, Don't shoot the messenger
Trynna get these riches cause at first they wasn't meant for us (I know)
It's so hard to heal when you keep getting scarred
Me, myself, and I, with nobody that's defending us
And black lives matter
I could never say that a black life matter more
They be trynna treat us like a bull to a matador
Going back and fourth makes us lose sight and battle more
And I could give a fuck about a burning store
They taking billions from you then it's time to go take back what's yours
It's time to heal all these battle scars
Physical, emotional, my mental's coming back from war
I'll never back down in my back a sword
Back to to basics lost at sea I'm swimming back to shore
I'll never back down in my back a sword
Back to to basics lost at sea I'm swimming back to shore Clipse
