Lyrics:
Hi! Welcome to my mixtape
Shit's been a long time coming, but I'm happy to finally bring it to you
Let's get it going
Back in the saddle with habits and habitats
I'd've rather left in the past
I'm an asthmatic insomniac playing taps with the pen and pad along with the track like
I'm a multifaceted bastard plaster casting all over the map
Blasting bars with that panache while rhyming denser than molasses
I'm here to invite the masses to make your rapping fantastic so just
This vibe and cooler than deep freeze
I'm here to channel tribe as well a smoke a little weed
I've got a ticket to ride if you wanna ride with me
Let's go from coast to coast and just see what we can see ima
Layback while I ride this bass-line
channeling my nostalgia for a simpler time
grabbing the spray can and tagging the street signs
almost a decade in the making but I'm still in my prime yes I'm
Laying back while I ride this baseline
channeling my nostalgia for a simpler time
grabbing the spray can and tagging the street signs
almost a decade in the making but I'm still in my prime
Let's take it back
I'm the amalgamation of your imagination and nightmares
assassinating all of the things you call night terrors
might tear open a black hole with my verses
haunting you for ages like I was pinhead in Freddie's furnace
spitting with the burning passion of a pastor on Sunday service
providing provocative verbiage that'll make these rappers nervous
advocating a game that'll craft some better wordage
I'm not saying that the state of rap is making me scared
I'm just scar I'm telling you cats you need to be prepared
because I'm ensnaring this complex lexicon
y'all can't even flex to come close to my echelon
I'll verbally break you down in two rounds in the octagon
your bars are weaker than both parts of breaking dawn
my flow is tighter than lines inside of comic con
steadily gripping the mic like a bronze vice
promulgating proper diction with an enticing delivery
I'm composing this symphony on the peak of periphery as I
Layback while I ride this bass-line
channeling my nostalgia for a simpler time
grabbing the spray can and tagging the street signs
almost a decade in the making but I'm still in my prime yes I'm
Laying back while I ride this baseline
channeling my nostalgia for a simpler time
grabbing the spray can and tagging the street signs
almost a decade in the making but I'm still in my prime
I'm the best that I've been in a minute
spitting meta-text aiming to finish the vision
so consistent that you'll never see me slipping
always giving what I'm getting
while I'm dishing out this heat
I'm still cooking in the kitchen
almost 10 years deep but I'm patient like I'm fishing
welcoming you to my tape but it's only the beginning
bitch
