Presently gifted raps tis' season for Yuletide
My train of thought provided a scholarship for this full ride
You can hitch a lift with me, no toll or fair is necessary
Ebbs and flows are part of life, this message is the estuary
Watershed moments when rapping over teardrops
Evolution in between where pain starts and fear stops
So many pennies for my thoughts appraise my sense of worth now
Busted hydrant wishing wells praying I make the first round
Erstwhile, dream states ferried me over River Styx
God status imminent never pending or tentative
My Inner-strength when cornered trust that's usually when it doubles
Feeling Kweliesque, known to siphon beauty from the struggle
Turn houses of ill repute into humble abodes
They call this a gut check, I'm built to stomach the load
It's under control, locked, I don't bungle or fold
Son is a GOAT and never stopped, stumbled or froze
Divided the drain like how the title says
Parting seas I'm arguably the one that the light ahead
Is beaming from, aura alluded to what you need from son
Only call me son cause I'm kin to God when you reach for one
Up above, God level if we should be clear
Touching 40, seven up from my 33 year
Humble brag, cause my handle look like I'm 25
And my selfies look like I'm 23, what a time
What if I, took the advice of those who was celebrated
All the same ones who would kill to write what I lead the way with
All the shit I threw away is in their sweetest dreams
Picture them single entendre motherfuckers leading me
Good is good, great is great, elite is elite though, it's a
Different type of language when 40 feet is a free throw
And there ain't a Rosetta Stone alive that can prepare you
Watershed moments for the shores bordering near you

Mind is a kingdom it's my mental megalopolis
Shrouded by a veil you can't see with regular optics then
Identify as Godly pronouns oracle or prophet whiz
Thoughts impregnate aether natural birth and adopt the kid
An architect constructing monuments for every instance
Otherworld acuity, orishas in my sixth sense
Broaden your perspective, hidden signs and symbols hard to miss
Unless you're dullened down and still concerned with all that artifice
I'mma messenger this is service when I grab the mic
Soul sample chariots to carry me through afterlife
Malleable matter what you're witnessing is bended will
Euphoric when I even speak or preach on how ascension feels
Limitations are the ligatures that keep you bound and gagged
Inspiration buried treasure searched until I found the stash
Think it to conceive it
Roaring fires of the forge made way for the phoenix

Reality your greatest threat when dreams fall to the wayside
Head above the clouds seems all of space my baseline
Spreaded wings ironically we ducking every pigeonhole
Goal oriented but still humble as the digits grow
Original, Prox is one of one no carbon copies
Symbols show i'm invaluable cut the bargain shopping
Life's a garden dig it, don't just stumble through the flowers
Infinity is fertile soil, now harvest your power
Rooted to existence it's like Yggdrasil's my backbone
Cruising through dimensions viewing missing reels from back home
Eternalistic, even as an infant words were rippling
Discernment kicks in, this was ordained and never fiction
Intention is intense it's the instrument have to wield it
A master builder craftsman i'm laughing at glassy ceilings
I'm an author, every page inside this tome is holographic
It was all inconceivable then saw it happen

It's true

Cultured, palate cleanser chianti or fernet-branca
Gordon Parks on repeat as we fancy the early genres
Ambitious, the negative going into remission
And always keep it kosher our precedent ain't pernicious
Rapper by day and my tracks bring croutons
Passed on Actavis i'm drinking lapsang suchong
Recollecting them broke days but they were frankly brief
Complementary reservations inside of swanky suites
I'm overdosing on the plates that I was aching to taste
Risotto, seafood soufflé, basted with grapes
Paper is straight, don't waste time finagling rates
Race to the gates of spacious vacation escapes
The acreage is great, moats surrounding glacial lakes
Atriums dates when pacing these palatial estates
Extravagant garage, cars collectible I guess
Summer flat featured in Architectural Digest
Seared salmon and sauvignon blanc
Seared salmon and sauvignon blanc
Used to appear famished whenever I walked
Now it's seared salmon and sauvignon blanc
Tell em
Salmon Alaskan
Me and money stay in sequence
My dish decent
Sauvignon Blanc and fresh peaches
Pescatarian feasting
My sea bass Chile
And it don't matter what city we in the Gods eating
Johannesburg to Puerto Vallarta
It was a time the clouds over me
Was color of a Raiders Parka
I visualize wealth, wisdom and blessings
My adolescent lessons
Was effervescent without a question
One, two testing my temperature
Turn me up
And tell the homies that's getting ready to hurry up
You know my caliber
Please do not compete with me if you look surprised
When niggas order caviar
Now carry on
Catch me in that first class
With nothing but a carry on
These international flights be very long
Japanese whisky be hitting very strong
Still on that marathon
Be on the scrolls of a legend
I'm in the zone with bredrens
And you knowing where it's headed
Something getting seared
Something getting steamed
But at the end of the day
I'm with the fucking team
Seared salmon and sauvignon blanc
Seared salmon and sauvignon blanc
Used to appear famished whenever I walked
Now it's seared salmon and sauvignon blanc
Tell em

Pharaonic

It's said abyss watches back, unbothered by a steely gaze
Always moving solidly you'll never catch an easy fade
Methodically coming after everything that's owed to me
Beholden to the poetry that molded P won't know defeat
Wins, you're fancy Glenmorangie drinking to my family toast
Attract don't chase far from antsy nothing's grandiose
Multiverse movements blessings coming in are manifold
And we rose, we don't panic love expanded roles
Won't take for granted having clean slates
Ain't going back to days where simply salivating seemed straight
Blue Lotus in my cup for navigating dreamscapes
Graduated, grabbing admiration from esteemed greats
Learned the basics turned them into divine facets
Revered, face it, royalty and my vibe matches
Time lapse it further each classic action was dynastic
Shear determination, cloth I'm cut from is fine fashion
I'm Pharaonic
The microphone's my golden scepter
I'm Pharaonic
The microphone's my golden scepter
And if we're honest
My light will glow with no exceptions
And if we're honest
My light will glow with no exceptions
You fools indignant my troop has risen no losers in it
With fruitful vision and group persistence refused contentment
Ain't superstition when coupes you fit in not used or rented
And no moving timid till loot is mimicking Junior Bridgeman's
Not in it for the ink or the accolades
Now I'm on that Morpheus I don't think know my faction paid
Captain of my destiny, extra neat the logistics right
Actively impressive feats guaranteeing proficient strikes
The game is easy my name precedes me this reign ain't ceasing
Became a G and the fame didn't peak cause you lames are weaklings
I been astute it was visible had an ultimatum
Ambitions die unless tended to and you cultivate them
Never fearing leaps of faith as hurdles only strengthened us
Eliminate the scarcity power comes from linking up
Separate from riffraff and naysaying toxic types
Downplaying's over know that failure's not your lot in life
I'm Pharaonic
The microphone's my golden scepter
I'm Pharaonic
The microphone's my golden scepter
And if we're honest
My light will glow with no exceptions
And if we're honest
My light will glow with no exceptions
Finally Jeez

Scars a badge of honor
Made it through the Crucible
Your time is now quit thinking about what you used to do
Made it through the Crucible
Made it through the Crucible
Scars a badge of honor
Made it through the Crucible
Your time is now quit thinking about what you used to do
Made it through the Crucible
Made it through the Crucible
These tribulations tough, they won't pass the litmus
If pain is poetic, then I'm sadomasochistic
I get rush or thrill whenever proving all the doubters wrong
Destructive will, silence, kill that noise once I start sounding off
Efforts, earnest respect my sermons won't cross sides
I'm tested, learned his epidermis is rawhide
Gritty, resistant, chatter just quit dismiss it
Relentless, I won't slip or be battered into submission
No pat on backs or handouts, still pursuit this recklessly
The dog in him unleashed, don't you misconstrue my pedigree
I lit the fuse, a beacon in the darkness that our fellas need
Invincible, this author's thoughts will dart across the seven seas
Scars a badge of honor
Made it through the Crucible
Your time is now quit thinking about what you used to do
Made it through the Crucible
Made it through the Crucible
Scars a badge of honor
Made it through the Crucible
Your time is now quit thinking about what you used to do
Made it through the Crucible
Made it through the Crucible
My number one hype man, not being facetious
Forever crunch time but it's only me in the bleachers
Carrying Terra baring' it air it is Ayn Randian
Rarely compare me, daring apparent because I stand to win
This a crucible, it is brutal regardless
But I'm immovable, music fuels my catharsis
Hard hits, fear, doubt and love expressed messily
Built an empire on tears, blood, and sweat equity
Always was a conduit I been housing power
An outlier now y'all hear these ten thousand hours
I ain't special, I just refuse to lose
It was a maze but engaged when braving that crucible

Right on destiny's doorstep, prophecy is my phenotype
Scenes are bright, believe the hype
Dreamweaver's his genus nice
I've learned that its my turn and that's permanent it's procedure
I'm burning and eager, yearning determined to earn my leisure
Patented mackin' tactical maverick he's platinum plaquing this
Track it, Black math is my maxim amassing capital
Factual, stackin' racks, relaxed as that action's casual
Grabbing and grasping funds, didn't slack when the cash was gradual
My pen sured it up, now the paradigm's replaced
Got my endurance up, for the marathon i'm straight
Nothing's ever given I earned it all using strictly muscle
Postmark this Mailbox Money, student of Nipsey Hussle
Built for the struggle, hard body stick my chest out
A wunderkind, wayfarer, always pick the best routes
Booths are the wellsprings, digging i'm tryna tap the spigot
Business comes first, take a number and don't subtract the digits
Money on my mind
Obsessed with time management
If nothing comes to sleepers but dreams
Got somnambulance
If nothing comes to sleepers but dreams
Got somnambulance
Rap is my stomping ground, walk around like I own the place
Facts, bet I stalk the town scarfing down what is on your plate
To put it bluntly so sharp I'm known to edge out the competition
Fate favors the prepared, always paid for my conviction
Prox atop of the docket, top ten, cause its not suspicious
Clearest vision now, 20/20 outlook is optimistic
Approach the mic and murder sets, redrum
No foreign on my person, instead i'll scope out a hedge fund
Copping conflict diamonds won't sate or satiate ego now
More akin to Joseph Searles than I am Nino Brown
NASDAQ, Hang Seng, Nikkei 25
Trust me, banking's my niche, these receipts stay organized
Gussied and uppity structurally no one touching me
Bustling basking inside the era that I have ushered in
Luckily, I know difference between come up and gluttony
Stretching the paper no Charlie Horses on laps of luxury
