Hell Yea 01:33
Back on my shit cuz Iā€™m bored and Iā€™m bussin Like I took the cheese from the corner store up to the Elementary My dearest friend Watson A sleuth in the booth Discovered Iā€™m a problem A Sufi to goofies a fool to my momma A man to my wife, an inhaler to ganja A mover of prana, a newbie to saunas But shout out to Psilly for putting me onna Hell yea You a myth You done saw the sign You donā€™t got the right to sell here Stickin in my craw This is not ok, itā€™s starting to smell here Gross Leave, be gone, get ghost We was Swell here Niggas get a lil bit of knowledge, wanna beat a nigga over the head wit it When you ainā€™t too far removed from bed wetting Or you getting close, depends who had said it Wanna speak life, but you dead set on being right More like a death sentence To a conversation about excellence Started on the wrong foot into excrement Ugh You got shit on your shoe I got shit on mine too I be wanting to tell niggas bout they self But I might fuck around here and learn something new Get on my nerves Everybody tryin to save black folk But they actually be acting like assholes Everyday a brand new fight from the internet come to real life and I feeling like Hell yea You a myth You done saw the sign You donā€™t got the right to sell here Stickin in my craw This is not ok, itā€™s starting to smell here Gross Leave, be gone, get ghost We was Swell here

Running to and from my dreams Courage to the sticking place know what I mean? Looked into the mirror and knew what Iā€™d seen Iā€™m the hero M-Matrix Iā€™m the neo Itā€™s in you not on you Currently alive EKG say and BMI Said to center and get you weight Up Donā€™t worry bout being a saint Purge yo timeline Make a little space Vacation, time off From the fear of comparing yourself, each days a groundhogs' Now turn off and run Running to and from my dreams Courage to the sticking place know what I mean? Looked into the mirror and knew what Iā€™d seen Iā€™m the hero M-Matrix Iā€™m the neo Itā€™s in you not on you Hero of my own movie, thatā€™s right searching for myself with just some shrooms and a flash light running from myself scared of the dark of my shadow turn around and face it, cuz iā€™m braver, i know that though asshole glad to be alive, some friends aint here to see the light gunned down or took they own self out it aint easy in this hell house it get deep up in this hell hole based on whatā€™s up in your billfold got you thinking that youā€™re worthless cuz your features like the first men and women and in-between, you know what the hell I mean inner vision is pristine, fuck the image in the screen drunk and disassociating to my 20ā€™s from my teens Heroā€™s dose when i turned 30 helped me run up on my dreams yea Running to and from my dreams Courage to the sticking place know what I mean? Looked into the mirror and knew what Iā€™d seen Iā€™m the hero M-Matrix Iā€™m the neo Itā€™s in you not on you

August, I can smell the death of fall coming Interstellar ocean ā€˜fore the turn to see the wall coming Parts of trees are browning while Iā€™m downing smoothies Biking to the trail Running while I can imagine the hail Seem like yā€™all like me rapping I know Iā€™m cold, Lake Erie froze, ominous cloud cover Brown brother Like the aboriginal from down under In the frozen tundra where the artists hibernate the same Spring on you with classics why you think the Lo done ate the game Thatā€™s my desire to control Argue about decisions, you decided from befoā€™ Ainā€™t it love to convince you to rewire all your goals? Or will I look like a goblin like I was William Defoe way I was raised, family ainā€™t a hobby Watching your people crash is like giving up on somebody But what wasnā€™t explained was that, making some people change Is impossible if they not into listnin to what you sayin when I ainā€™t wanna hear shit, I did what I felt Withholding information from elders trying to help Their fears for my safety felt like fears for they self And I was tired of complying out of my own fears of the belt Growing pains, no lessons after commercial breaks I know itā€™s hard to yield when you find love in this lonely place Saving grace, I hope the intuition you cultivate Guides through the twist and turns when you lost along the way
