[Hook]
You’ve been growing lately
Fuck if they notice, don’t trip, stay focus
Lames in your ear, they bogus, don’t trip, stay focus
Been gone two years, wonder where Los is, don’t trip, stay focus
They know we got the juice, they vultures, don’t trip, stay focus
[Verse 1]
It's like everybody looking for the rise to fame
A bandwagon to ride or prize to claim
For the last two years, I just watch the game
And some of this shit would leave God ashamed
But I can look you in the eyes when I provide my name
You n***as don’t hypnotize me I can box the pain
For two years I ain’t just watch, I watched em train
You trained to copy, block my aim
Your game is sloppy, stop the games n***a
You trained to watch me cop my chains n***a
I’m popping chains but not like snatching chains
Chain reactions got you bastards chained
To each other but you can’t flow
Bunch of slaves in the same boat same note
Real n***as love this, this that sick love
My n***as is love sick
Sick of being targets, even sick of n***as talking
Sick of giving offering to n***as living off it
Sick of seeing the sick from the cradle to the coffin
Sick of n***as living in that maze that they lost in
Praised in flossing then amazed they lost it
I’m amazed you can’t change your hardships
We full of God, they full of gossip
The shit they used to say weighed on my conscious

Yo
I remember I was in love with perfection
Or what I thought was, what a fuckin' suggestion!
Mind was in one place stumbling, guessing..
Heart was in another mothafuckin’ direction
Took a step back made a humble assessment
I’m a fuckin’ investment, what these suckers respecting?
See sometimes you gotta unplug, just to plug back in
If these n***as havin’ trouble connecting
I confess I owe you dearly
But let me grow I know you feel me
Though you're far I keep you near me
Your love for me make people fear me
My love for you make people jealous
My skillset got ‘em scared to tell us
I'm more like a kid rebellious, my willpower got me near propellers
It's clear you helpless, why you poppin’ game?
Fuck awards, we are not the same, you are not insane talking out ya brain
Boy don’t make me laugh talking ‘bout your pain
You’re on the floor and I’m elevated
Hard to the core and I’m educated
You know is a war when you’re melanated
Tryin’ to tell you baby you should celebrate it

[Verse 3]
The universe gave me free space
I free my mind and I create
A glass of wine and a beat tape
Y’all remember all them remakes?
Wayne beats, Dre beats, Ye beats, yeah
Blood still poppin’ through my Dre beats yeah
Please don’t get it fucked up I'll still get up in that (Ass)
Play me for a sucker you gon’ never get a (Pass)
Like when Kobe hoggin’ bro be doggin’ beats homie Los be talking that shit
Man bro be off it that ole say some wild shit, throw me off of that shit
Hold on, slow it homie, rewind it, play it back slowly he goin’ off on that bih, ugh!
Like domestic violence, my metaphors can cause majestic silence – like
All of your eyelids, why is your iris, your pupils dilated
Like why I’m debating with any one of you n***as I hibernated
Then woke back up, my n***a I’m the greatest that ever did it
I can say it, ‘cause I can back it up
Like, Brink's trucks full of money, who can think of?
These type of phrases I coined from memory banks say never be blank
Heavenly seventies swank, feather-weave paint
Ambiance, I’m beyond, Basquiat, it’s beyond my mind
Why I am beyond time, but behind n***as that aren’t timeless
Time is a construct that man made, I ain’t man-made
I’m a combination of a Titan and an icon
The equivalent if the Titanic kept the mic’ on while the band played
Waves, fades, and braids, black man, peace, love and brave soul
Stay strong, black power in the midst of the storm
I know that
