[Verse 1: Dom McLennon]
Yeah
They wanna hang me in the trees
'Tween the truth and everything they tryna get me to believe (Woo!)
Fighting, so it's never guaranteed
Snakes getting raked up with the leaves
Way too late to conversate for peace (What?)
Everything that's fateful come in threes (What?)
Living for another is disease (Yeah)
How the fuck are you supposed to breathe? (Yeah)
Real n***as speak in coded languages
Y’all break it down like the police
I am not a pastor, I don't preach
Raw talent stands beyond a leak
Simply a disciple of the street
Radicals and thugs, we move in sync
Stratosphere is where I'm tryna peak
This elite mental physique
I been incubating my technique
Curate every word like a boutique
I don't listen when these n***as speak
I got n***as that's still tryna eat
Give 'em something to appease
While the baking soda staining up the tee (Woo!)
Let the needle run until it bleed
I don't got a reason to concede
I'm dictating how all this proceeds, best believe
Every other option laid out for me would've led to freeze
Never was who they wanted to lead
Never was the one that thought [?]
Never was the one that counted, it was cool to me
Always picked the space so I got halfway to breathe, motherfuckers, yeah
[Verse 2: Dom McLennon]
I watched a lot of n***as lie like it's the truth
I've been staying down to Earth
Digging deeper by the roots
Have a conscious and my confidence
They down to make a truce
When they stop aiming at each other
That's the strongest I'ma shoot, look
I'm from the trenches, but I never get salutes
All these fragments of myself
Make up the human y'all dispute
Turned the memories to melodies
My life was like a loop
When you ballin' for a reason
You see more than just the hoop, n***a
I'm out for dead presidents for every dead homie
They throwin' anchors on my boat
But that shit can't hold me
Dedicate this shit to anyone who think they know me (What?)
Living off of how it sounds but never listened closely (Uh)
Before you tell me who I am
You gon' have to show me (Show me)
I went back to where I came from
I know where I'm going (Going)
The greatest weapon that I got
Is everything I'm knowin'
My future finished, loaded
And you can see me floating
