Razor blades under the tongue

[Verse]

Man...

Razor blades under the tongue

I move in silence ‘cause folks got one life to live, nothin’ to prove

 

drinking’ Red Bulls with Redman

Pushin' through storms, I’m the man

Came to see where you stand

Come again—why’d I just ask that?

 

we cut from a different cloth

I’m David with no slingshot, knockin’ Goliath off

 

An optimist, I’m optimistic

Do you need assistance?

Assistance with your sentence?

 

The new guards who guard the guards who guard the guards

The greatest of all time’s the GOAT

Gave 'em little, got the most

 

“What’s wrong, David?”

I don’t know, I suppose I just don’t like my reflection

Broke the mirror, broke the spell, broke the chains

 

And it’s a real shame, ain’t it?

I don’t mean to sound jaded

I love my supporters—but fame gets outdated

 

I’m havin’ another moment—

Relax, I’m back

Better than ever, who better than us?

 

[Verse]

I stand ten toes like a touchdown

All my sisters wear crowns, I can't let the queens down

And when it rains, it pours, like I'm standin’ under clouds

 

I’ve been tested, and I’ve been betrayed

Felt like I was confined

I had to free the mental

Not everything is coincidental

 

I had to follow my own lead, they would judge what I wear

they laugh, but that energy I couldn’t carry there

‘Cause they the type to switch on you like your new pair

 

But we gon' keep it movin' like a bunch of cars

You a piece of something that I’m eatin’, I would never starve

It was in the stars

And I feel like I’m a fool 'cause I made it this far

And I feel like I’m a fool 'cause I made it this far

 

[Verse]

Pull up in the Air Force 1s

Ugh, y'all too soft like warm buns

In the trenches, that's how the war's won

Ball like the sun, like Suns, like Barnes

Like Bron, like Russ, like hunned

 

Where the ball gon' go? Off glass

Where my thoughts gon' go? All cash

But it all means nothing if I can't have talent

Where it all gon' go? All trash

Where the fall gon' go? All crash

 

If it all means nothing, it's all just words

If it all means nothing, it all means nothing

All of my actions all past

And I can never go back

And all of my habits, I'm just stuck with

And they say, "Look at all you got," I say, "It's nothing"

And they say, "Look at all you done," I say, "It's nothing"

 

I just brush it off my shoulder

Like all the dirt I collected from boulders

Wasn't worried when I was out there

Lookin' over the shoulder of older folks, I was colder

And now that I am older, I am colder

Colder than December and the end of November

 

The best, if I remember, if I try to forget

I'd still be in your top ten percent

Nothin' but the best, who I'm better than

And I'm about to turn into the old Aryeh again

When you talkin' to me, better talk with your chest

Or it's RIP and the team come collect, ugh

 

I don't get checks, but I'm getting these checks

I don't want attention, I just want to move ahead

With a new plan, I just move on to the next

Ugh, guess what's on my mind?

Not a thing, not a thing

 

I guess what's on my mind?

Not a thing, not a thing

And they say, "Look at all you got," I say, "It's nothing"

And they say, "Look at all you done," I say, "It's nothing"

I just brush it off my shoulder

Like all the dirt I collected from boulders

Wasn't worried when I was out there

Lookin' over the shoulder of older folks, I was colder

And now that I am older, I am colder

Colder than December and the end of November
