Buy a Heart / Radio (Executive Mix)

Lemme take ya'll back one day by the free way when I took my first line

Next thing I knew, cocaine to the brain serotonin flooded my mind

Filled with aggression didn't even pay attention to the cars as they flew by

Despite my contention, white got the white boy feeling like he can't die

Took a Shy guy and it turned him bureaucratic, got me going crazy, like psychosomatic

Ignorance is bliss, confidence is this, call it a problem call you melodramatic

I'm getting symptomatic of an addict sniffin this shit like an aromatic fanatic

Sold my soul to the devil, the control is satanic, tell yourself you're in control, now you sound democratic

 

Lemme take yall back one day on the freeway when I caught my first crime

I'm tellin my homies to put the J away and spray but we couldn't do it in time

walking on ice and it shattered, talking like life never mattered,

My future was handed to me on a silver platter, but nigga Im still in my prime

took a good guy and it made him a mess,

took a good future and put it to rest,

put him under duress, put him under arrest

when he said he'd just get rid of it I fucking confessed

So what comes next, how can you forget

Need blunt trauma to the head to give you amnesia

So you're just getting high, tryna romanticize,

Till you leaning to the left like motherfucking pisa

Even rome crumbled tho, empires come and they go

Its scary but if its all temporary then I ain't being humble yo!

Imma show off, and Im about to show out,

So if you showing up then you better believe we are throwing down

Outstanding, and imma fucking stand out, if you thinking bout standingup, then sit the fuck down

My word bregade is like a hand grenade about to blow up in your Dre Beats and knock you out

 

None of this will matter when my time comes

It doesn't make a difference where a young homie came from

We all started on the bottom, waiting on him to save us

Praise your savior, cause he is the one who made us

Hindsight is 20/20 we can see he past

It's like we all know the right call when we're looking back

But spur of the moment, didn't know it didn't show it

So we shoulder the burden, we learned and we keep growing

 

Been knocked down, this is real shit Im talking

But I stand up proud, and I vowed to keep walking

Squawking to everyone about how I got clean

What does that even mean? a month without green?

Congratulating me like its something to achieve

But why am I defined by the contents of my pee

Tell myself Im better until its something I believe

So I got a drug test and I found a way to pass

But look at me now, still a motherfucking mess

This Toxin is Knockin me on my ass

Im fucking boxed in naproxen is all I have

Popping it till I unmask the monster

Its shocking Im fucking rocking, I wanna rap

Im unmatched, with skill still untapped,

Its about time you plain ass rappers got crashed

 

Go to mass, and Ill get my repentance

Go to court and Ill get sentenced

Then Ill come back with a vengeance after my penance

Got my redemption, from a different dimension

Then Ill make my ascention you paying attention?

Leave it to heaven to relieve this tension

If you believe you don't question, leave your contention

You ain't an exception, despite your perception

I'm done doing wrong so don't fucking threaten me

My words are a weapon, and Im filled with aggression

Better bring your smith and wesson if you mess with me

Its inception, this is all just a dream, it isn't what it seems

Consequences unforseen, I can't believe

Never would've thought this is meant to be, it can't be me

Cold-blooded so I can't be seen

Cut you up like Im fucking wolverine with a tangerine

Man or machine, Im Jimmy your Sheen

So you better fucking bounce like a trampoline

 

None of this will matter when my time comes

It doesn't make a difference where a young homie came from

We all started on the bottom, waiting on him to save us

Praise your savior, cause he is the one who made us
