Can’t you tell, I been living well
gimme gimme hell, built for it now
I been on the prowl, hunt for the crowns
Keep the music loud, you gon hear me out, cmon now x2
Verse 1: johdi
Sittin pretty yeah, catch me on a good day
You could kick your feet up, this is not a footrace
I be on my own two, fuck what the rest say
You can keep the leisure, I be more the leader well okay
Tip the scales like the waiter was a libra
Most don’t know balance, I don’t know it either
I been knowin damage, I been growin meaner
The flow go cleaner, closer to god teaser
Slow heater, turtle on a hot day
All expense paid trip through your lost ways
This flambe, a fire dish you cant plate
Try to cool me down I really just can’t behave
Verse 2: D’fish
beat up by the cost of this winter inside let my best side die like a sinner imma grow cold let the world know i need patched up but i cant sew actin like a little kid everyone say no no life’s too fast paced in the past though working most days with no bankroll i’m a lost cause with potential
Hook 2: johdi
Can’t you tell, I been living well
gimme gimme hell, built for it now
I been on the prowl, hunt for the crowns
Keep the music loud, you gon hear me out, cmon now x2
Break: pilgrim
Lifetime guarantee
Pay a fee til you have nothing
Have a lot and then it’s free
That’s a natural property
Fast summit to the peak
Bridge: D’fish
I feel like a diamond in a cage. How could I be more out of place in the city i’m in now, now.
Verse 3: Nomé
Ayo Fishy Fysh pass the soul stone
So I can turn this home Alone flow into Richie Rich
It feels like my motors moving so slow
Might need me some kerosene to get me lit
Yes I got your text my
Answer wasn't cancelled it's just postponed
Until I get a lift outta this tar pit
Become a Lark with ladder under armpit
Until I find a spaceship I can fly and learn to park it
Far away
On saturn with the swagger of a Martian
That's all I need
Because I got no fuel in the arteries
Less moonlight is charging me
My Mood just might fall like leaves
My movement might stall like E
This the art of life for a martyr that spars with beats gently
I don't need a Benz and the Fenty and the Bentley
I feel like retiring barely in my twenties
Going down a spiral I'm empty
Nothing that's inspiring the mind though the eyes
see plenty
