There I be... watchin' the game from a distance
Not too many strikers willin' to play they position
Fake smiles, and empty greetings when snakes get to hissin'
TMZ MC's, linin' up for the latest edition
Hearin' my name in the mentions? Mxm, it is what it be
Kermit the hermit - mindin' my business, sippin' my tea

Sorry, but they just don't make 'em like me
Lately protectin' my peace... pursuin' my savior
(Lord God, I come to you a sinner... Inshallah)
Apologies accompanied by continued behaviour
Social circles overflow with abusive enablers
Silent but cautious, I'm not a dummy - I'm doin' you a favour

And bendin' words in ways your favourite could never imagine
If a broad trip... then I'm sending 'em packing

Trust I'm a veteran rapper, blessed with one hell of a grammar
Couldn't be one of these artists act like I'm failin' in school
Dumb like they makin' it cool, I am not playin' the fool
Give me a paper to do, and tell me the hours is 3?
It's nothin' - I take it in two
Fuck it - I'll finish in one

Oh my
I surpassed my predicitions back
When the bar that I'd set for myself was so high
I'm familiar with disloyalty, all I ask when I see you is that you don't lie
(I'm not dumb)
They wanna show me where I should be by now
I tell "I get it in my own time"
In my own time

Oh my

When the bar that I'd set for myself was so high

They wanna show me where I should be by now, I tell "I get it in my own time"
In my own time
The fake ones'll be the first to be prouda you though
Like they weren't leakin' all the confidence outta you, foe
Like - it was only non-believers beside of you though
And so much so it's why you started keepin' it silent, you know?
Waveriders wanna surf like, "I'm proud of you bro"

I'm still the type to gon' and slap the fucking shit outta you bro!
3rd quarter drop so tell yo' niggas I'm comin' with it
And this time I'm kind enough to let you rehearse in the hearses
With everybody's name on 'em, I'm such a personal person
This ain't no nursery rhyme, these university verses
Last tape dropped... self-mastered... no promo
13 Tracks... 2 features... so solo
That shoulda showed you I don't like to be told what to do
Homie I know what to do, I'm not devoted to you

Once I get my coins up, it's "Raymond, you changed on me"
(Don't make sense)
We ain't spoke in 4 years, like... you still the same, homie?
Discussions get too wheezy and that shit start to wane on me
If we not in sync? I pipe down anybody that drain on me
Shkrrrt... they gon' tell it was different in here
My formula won already, I'm constantly switching the gears
Course I got the drive, automatically driftin' the steer
Only time I ever see a threat when I look in the mirror
Too many diss trackin'
Too many lips yappin'
Fast food discographies 'cause too many kids rappin'
Too many dead artist 'cause too many mismatchin'
Don't pit 'em against me, I'll pimp smack 'em and bitch slap 'em
They'll look at me like
Oh my
I surpassed my predicitions back
When the bar that I'd set for myself was so high
I'm familiar with disloyalty, all I ask when I see you is that you don't lie
