Word to Catawba, I miss my pawtna dem
Up in Stacks' room, playing Grand Theft Auto when
I should be working on an essay, but I'm chillin wit my esses
Trading bars, always chiseling a sharper pen
Now I ride around to Nas, It Aint Hard to Tell
Now I ride to school to anything by Lauryn Hill
Inspiring the ammunition in my arsenal
Nobody hear me cuz they shot and killed
Burnt is the offering, been thru a lot of hell
But I'm flame retardant, this how Flocka feel
Waka mile in my shoes, you'll take a lot of L's
Bullied for actin whiter than my guy Jaleel
I was Urkel, had circles over my pupils
I won't hurt ya, I work for the Daily Bugle
But if my circle don't trust you, they may just shoot you
You want some more? Let's take a metro to the future

(Eugenius)
Yeah that was just some uhhh.....that was just something I had
Umm....could you play uhhhh....you got that other joint that we was working on yesterday?

(TLJ)
Uhhhh I think I know what you're talking about

(E)
Lemme see what you...

(Superstar)
I been havin the same dream...every day
Wake up...wake up! K cups in my Kuerig
A bagel and Katie Couric, then I go out on my merry way
Take a seat, take notes, gotta paraphrase
After that, go to work, got the hat and the shirt
And the vest and the gloves, gettin bags full of dirt
For our regular customers, frustrated
10 bucks was never enough for me, not amount wise
A wise man once told me a man's true pleasure and wealth never counted on account size
Next year I'm tryna make it to South By, oh, I'mma make it
I really just don't be outside, I'm concentrating
Don't knock on my door unless your name is "opportunity", I dropped a new EP
The key is continuity, I'm losin sleep
Soon to lose friends
Loosening my tie, gotta tie up loose ends
Where's the old Tim, what I gotta do then?
You wanna see change? All I got is 2 tens, homie, we 2 men
Ain't really got time anymore to spend
Hangin out, I'm tryna make it out
I been writing in the hopes one day
Someone sees my handwriting and I'm praying they can make it out
Write a blank check, make it out to you and yours
Y'all don't understand, this is what I do it for
To afford a new Accord, and since I'm everybody's plug
Imma buy myself a newer cord
By Myself isn't me anymore
Y'all don't know what I had to go through
He looked up, saying "You done bought the lies they sold you"
"You must've forgot what the wise man told you"

Head hard as hell, information hit it late as Carson Daly
On a daily, it could take minute
But we need it fast, like we only eatin grapes and spinach
I close my eyes and all I see is naked women
Pacin, swimmin, takin linens out the washer
I'm not the candidate for makin women outta daughters
Just a nigga outta Carolina, tryna get up outta Carolina
Practicin my cata, standing on terracotta
Studying theravada
Father at the altar, mama into drama, like writin plays
I knew this was right for me when my Rightie could write for days
So one day, it would write a rider contract
Justified frustration aimed at my idle comrades
Say they down for the cause, but they saw the montage
That was months worth, now they mad, out of a job
Dreamin bout when the rims roll out the garage
They want the house on a hill, I want a house and a dog
My peace, I found it in God
Few pieces of land, gettin up early just to water my plants
Wakin up in the sand if I want cuz I can
Meditate on the roof, no relegatin my youth
Thankin God, he giveth and taketh away in a poof
Family been havin interventions wit me as if I been livin crazy
But, I just been distant lately
I'm not a little baby, but I'm still your little baby
I'm just in disarray, be happy I ain't sippin drank
Be happy I ain't whippin yay, be happy I ain't lightin a spliff with dank in it
Just be happy all my edges straight, but they more concerned about me missin Hades
Who would want a pair of Flaming Lips kissing our little angels
Can't remember the last time I ate at a kitchen table, shameful
Dinner at the office often
Honestly need glasses, but the last time I had em
I was the laughin stock of the class with the ashy knee caps
And the nappy peas back when waves was in
Never rode a wave, but I always managed to make a friend
Gee Whiz, Jake and Finn
Revisit the chicken scratch pre-revision, shoulda left it how it was
Left it out the suds, kept it bout the love, but its been about a buck
From the jump, I might sell out
I might drop out
Cons and pros weighed again and again and again and.....
But only knows God the day it'll end
Dug sum plot holes while playin pretend
Rhymes, flows I jot those on paper and pen
The fakest of friends talk about makin amends over the breakin of bread
Like lemme buy you a steak, I'll stick it straight thru they heart
You afraid of the dark?
You afraid of playin yo part? Practice patience, get yo weight up
What you weighing, no Damon and Shawn
Yall floss too much
We get it, you clean, but you do it till the bristles fall off the brush
Talm bout "we workin" and "I'm bossin up", but you ain't get off your butt
Engineer gettin cheated, can't even give him gas money
And last Monday I saw you gettin off the bus
Lost your touch, cough it up
This ain't off the cuff, I'm just coming off a nine hour shift
36 degrees wit a wind freeze chill, God, tell it "be still"
But I push thru it cuz success won't come off of luck
Awful lotta yall think so tho
Borrowing pens, following trends
Bet if I checked the back of your closet I'd find a pink Polo
See the sheep don't know that they're sheep till a beast feasts on the sheppard
Now they can't speak no more cuz no one will tell em what to say
Proof that he led em all astray, what legacy?
I tell you what, young Mecca gon be set with enough cheddar
That she could double the recipe
Bump your uncle, be better than me
Blood, tears, sweat and defeat
I got one gear, rev it and screech
