[Verse 1: Cavalier]
Fourth down and bout an inch
Missed gettin it by the pound but by a pinch
Makin' a dent with your scratch for the itch like a flash
Only catch but a glimpse now ain’t that a bitch
But if it ain't a bird in the hand there's plenty of fish
‘We’ve got visual' Les miserables
When it was gettin' sprayed or you couldn't test the grade
The plague felt biblical it rain crickets
My hood altar Saint Ides, Saint Laurent, and Saints tickets
Paint the sky grey, smoking on hay by the thickets
These chain gang songs the ‘uh ah' rhythmic
This ain't the flimflam the footwork raindance mystic
At the crossroads James Brown ‘Livin in America'
Facе sweat drippin' and pace my steps in it
Bittеrness is just a taste test ain’t it
You heard the man
Remember the helping hands when you choose the grail
You only lose if you refuse to fail, never loose the sails
Still get goosebumps every move of the scale
But need to scale my tools to lift off and remove the veil
To prevail…
Naked truth

[Verse 2: Quelle Chris]
(True true, you know how they do)
Feel like lately been looking over my shoulders a lot
I ain’t crazy the same ones play me got similar plots on you
I been dreaming a lot my crew be there with me
Landscaping rock formations with our hands waving amazing
Same dog day new assailants
Feeling caged in yet more brazen
Playing the hand I dealt me
Taking knees only props up the the back steppers
We no capitalist we just cash shepherds ya dig me?
I was down bad kissing the streets forgive me
It's said stoically bro just outlive me
I’m startin' to doubt the doubts in me
Black youth indoctrinated with clout envy
From hustlers' hymnals walkin' the thin rope and doin’ limbo
While cymbals crash, love language wasn't taught on Duolingo
Still serve 31 flavors learned from Lo Green and Swing Lo
We exchanged rings on fam sans holy matrimony
You know, naked truth
(Naked truth)
Naked truth
