One life, one night, super, powers
Can't sleep, can't write, fucking, cowards
Ugly, atoms, comet, showers
What this means to me is obvious as i devour
One life, one night, super, powers
Can't sleep, can't write, fucking, cowards
Ugly, atoms, comet, showers
What this means to me is obvious as i devour
How do i release you
How do i deceive
Just another black artist
Rapping to the masses but still rockin' the hardest
This where my heart is, in the music where i can lose it
Constantly proving, i won't fit in boxes they choosing
I'm an enigma, i'm evolving like every minute
Every sentence that i'm spittin', prophetically given
Look at me different, i was born to disrupt the system
Fuck what they sippin', you've been warned of the cataclysm
How can this be
Learned how to drown my doubt in the sea
Swimming in hate, grew my gills through my skills, how i breathe
Shouting to scream, life ain't the way it's supposed to be
Now i can see this reality's killin' my dream
Slowly i wake, this the moment i waited to take
So witness the great, dreamer believe in his own fate
I'm raising the stakes, claiming my throne to depose fakes
Clones, snakes, and hate all while closing the whole gate
My heart of darkness scattered, felt hatred in my bones
I cut my body open, blood on the microphone
My mind is quickly shattered, i lost my only hope
The music keeps me frozen, release my holy ghost
I'm way too ghetto for еm', but acting way too white
They call me orеo, the keys i cook on black and white
Deep in suburbia, i just tried fitting in
When i started this dream, i was only like 17
And it's funny the moment i became homeless changed everything
I auditioned for agt where i met with the future kingz
That's before they blew up and even had made a path on the scene
I was bumping into the stars with this fire that's in my heart
It's ironic i could've died in my sleep from the same cause
If my pops hadn't scooped me up, when our 'partment burst into flames
I was catching glimpses of hell at a very insane age
And if heaven's a mile away then why wouldn't i dare to reach
I was cracked in half like an egg, why i'm constantly chasing peace
Cause internal wars i saw shatter my sisters mental so easily
Different demons they scream at me, trying to get a piece of me
On my way to the hospital, momma vomiting next to me
Sounds ingrained in my brain, it's unnerving how i could catch some z's
So disturbing but hard to worship when god's always testing me
Shit'll make you start questioning whether he's real or dead to me
Fuck it, i gotta make it out, real or not i'ma take this vow
To be great or to die trying, like curtis, the stakes are wild
But i'ma chef, and i'm using death as the base of my flavor now
So here's a taste of my motivation to keep making these paintings bounce
From the bottom of the underground, to the top of a thundercloud
Feel that reverberation inside your chest where the love is found
Be astounded or be confounded, i waited to long for this
Opposite of apologistic, i'm not just some common nigga
You not just gon' son me and put me straight at the bottom
And bomb us like this gaza, i'd give the mic to the people
To free em til it's resolved, to the palestinian people
Just know that i see your struggle, reminds me of how they done us
And say the shit was just justified
They can try to break our bodies, but can't touch our minds
They can try to hide injustice with disgusting lies
But we'll never cave to hatred
Now witness the metamorphosis of caterpillar to butterfly
Can't sleep, can't write, fucking, cowards
Ugly, atoms, comet, showers
What this means to me is obvious as i devour
