[Verse] Accrued currency’s the current lead for leaves and staycations Ronin, roaming with no clique but safe chasing Grandeur in the midst of all the mitten’s slights Underdogs, we’re underrated, get it while the gettin’s right The plan’s straight, can’t wait, our mandate’s acquire wealth After all those Pontiacs and Chevy trucks won’t buy themselves Crispy Jordan jumpsuit attire for the hustlers Medawar got herringbones i’ll spend what I can muster Comfortable, merchandize don’t always come from overseas Catch me out at Courtland Center turned it into Sotheby’s Devil’s Lake the closest thing we s’pose to see to ocean breeze Tax bracket leveled up, Ojibwa for groceries Mackin’ outta Morris Pete’s, orange treats are Florida sweet Gorgeous, peep, the whores to meet, lookin’ like a Georgia peach Metallic cabbage, never fond of steel that’s the irony An alchemist, instead I traded lead for gold and ivory [Hook] Drive slow, yeah, rolling down McClellan The General just hit my line done booked us for a session Been around the blocks a bit, humble count my blessings Ancestors give me daily bread that’s more impressive One more Drive slow, yeah, rolling down McClellan The General just hit my line done booked us for a session Been around the blocks a bit, humble count my blessings Ancestors give me daily bread that’s more impressive [Verse] Nearest Green and Vernors neat nestled in my stainless flask Uncover your identity that’s the layman’s task Mirrored images, refract, i’m Flint’s lone reflection As we’re all amalgamated, no ain’t just perception See Miller Road and where it intersects next is Indra’s net But everything is normalized as mysticism’s been repressed Manifestations keep occurring so meticulous God got me now, ain’t no fluke or coincidence Back when I was tone-deaf, heard the notes but didn’t click Genesis was quick once I realized i’m an instrument Home is where your hearth is and seeing it is alchemy Samadhi on my front porch, Coelho would be proud to see Flashbacks, flashbacks Breed is on the Kenmore No future in your frontin’ fool, realness what I endorse Pockets swole on engorge, denim stretched like tensors Unparalleled, but do you copy? That’s a 10-4 [Hook] Drive slow, yeah, rolling down McClellan The General just hit my line done booked us for a session Been around the blocks a bit, humble count my blessings Ancestors give me daily bread that’s more impressive One more Drive slow, yeah, rolling down McClellan The General just hit my line done booked us for a session Been around the blocks a bit, humble count my blessings Ancestors give me daily bread that’s more impressive Bless up Been around the blocks a bit humble count my blessings Ancestors give me daily bread that’s more impressive ok

[Verse} Takes men to build, modus operandi, architecture Thoughts of penthouses encouraged us as we sought perfection Graciously bestowed with the gumption and chutzpah To navigate the chatter and eliminate that hoopla You’re pigeonholed, guarantee expansion leaves you dumbfounded Bigger moves trigger confusion, sundowning Vultures look for languor, my intimation is liberate Mitigate the violence or virus that crimes demonstrate Precedent is making connections, each bar innervates Migrate to mogul then purchasing prime real estate Introvert, but wholehearted wingman, I got you Allocating equity like Japanese Zaibatsu Task is renovation while quashing all the dilapidation Constructing legacies, betterment of a generation Businessman, pokerfaced, intend to stay suave Unrivaled you can’t reproduce this je ne sais quoi Prox [Hook] Starved for resources, hungry for acknowledgement They expunging resumes unless you’ve done that college bid Penning books and signing off on em like a novelist Sprouted from the grassroots to enterprise conglomerates Starved for resources, hungry for acknowledgement They expunging resumes unless you’ve done that college bid Penning books and signing off on em like a novelist Sprouted from the grassroots to enterprise conglomerates [Verse] Want skyscrapers so tall, you can see them from a satellite It’s about boostin’ up our self-esteem, not bragging rights Politicians and officials turned they backs, no bags in sight Seen it with my own eyes, no grapevines or Gladys Knight Slavery, Christ, civil strife, as part of education Gentrified spaces from the property we desecrated Redlining, racial covenants, it’s all a strategy Soften up the targets, no more martyrs for the Maccabees Bonds in our communities assumed to be so atrophied That factually subjugation’s birthright, not casualty Most of us so downtrodden, washed your hands, you’d gladly leave Indentured servitude through urban schools, it’s sad to see Commodified prisons, they envisioned they’d have dads for lease If bestial by nature, why’d you stack the deck for savagery? It just really makes you wonder Perhaps there’s a secret and they need to keep it from us [Hook] Starved for resources, hungry for acknowledgement They expunging resumes unless you’ve done that college bid Penning books and signing off on em like a novelist Sprouted from the grassroots to enterprise conglomerates Starved for resources, hungry for acknowledgement They expunging resumes unless you’ve done that college bid Penning books and signing off on em like a novelist Sprouted from the grassroots to enterprise conglomerates

[Verse] First rule, any means never use virtue Blocks the Inferno, we get vigils, no Virgils Couriers, contraband, fit in they Herschels Gunpowder, power, inhibition is the perfume Tension so thick, gotta cut it with machetes bruh Trap’s Noah’s Ark, streets flooded when them levies busted Chemists cater crack, hey it’s good for monopolies Valedictorians of hood pharmacology Mama slumped over, heroin possessed Papa in the grave, laid, and his only request Was that you tuck his set flag in his bulletproof vest More funerals than weddings, won’t pay your respects The infections you’re repressin’, you should sit and reflect You say it is what it is and just stick out your chest As a child dreams of representing Michigan’s best Then you grew and traded that for lean and Michellin S Reminiscence causes pain, i’mma get this buzz off Of all the things that’s new, certainly ain’t love lost Childhood crushes sell fellatio to feed they children Rumor has it say they’re pretty and they’ll let you film it Roses from the asphalt, water us with Hennessy Judged on the regular but never granted clemency Church on every corner, still abundant lost spirits Everybody gotta price, i’m just stayin’ off clearance [Hook] When i’m out in Max Brandon Feel like i’m invincible no fiends or backstabbin’ Hunger for the duckets turnin’ into Black phantoms For greenbacks yellow bellies steady crash landing When i’m out in Max Brandon Feel like i’m invincible no fiends or backstabbin’ Hunger for the duckets turnin’ into Black phantoms For greenbacks yellow bellies steady crash landing [Verse] Stampede or trampled, race for the finish line Dog eat dog we’re just making sure our kennel’s fine Adolescents carry straps, paramilitary Won’t even go to school, definitely no preliminaries Mean well, but still products of the ghetto Talk tough but those fellows, bellow on death row Desperados, quickdraw, click, fire first Drug money washed as the bounties for the Wyatt Earps Ain’t no end in sight, if it’s pin for life, we’ll pretend it’s right Souls wholesale, thugs sin for rims and ice Signed on dotted line, fine, amend the blight Drunk, sunk, strung out on all this gin and hype Know the money can’t save us, then again it might Anything for sale, well what’s your biddin’ price? Foggy diamonds, new blinders that’ll kill your light I need reprieve, safe serene It seems Forest Park is the place i’ve gleaned Found purgatory sitting in this space between Baskin’ in the radiance, won’t efface the scene Arrived on a whim Alpha canine, but these rhymes i’ll befriend I saunter and stalk through the lush vegetation Patient, I don’t need a rushed education [Hook] When i’m out in Max Brandon Feel like i’m invincible no fiends or backstabbin’ Hunger for the duckets turnin’ into Black phantoms For greenbacks yellow bellies steady crash landing When i’m out in Max Brandon Feel like i’m invincible no fiends or backstabbin’ Hunger for the duckets turnin’ into Black phantoms For greenbacks yellow bellies steady crash landing

East Kearsley 03:30

[Verse] Whiskey to the scalp, helps me hide my insecurities Postering like i’m a saint, enticing me are lurid things Want to be exemplary and studious but lack the image Focused on a million things and none of them are academic Squandering potential, disappointment, snipped and withering Intoxication serves to override my sensibilities Communal drunken stupors but penchant to falter silently Nightmarish visions always prefaced with sobriety Dreams are contaminants festering deep the illness came Robotrips, ganjaweed feeble attempts to kill the pain Sedated, shambling through days as if the brother’s zombified Smile in your face but brittle, gotta keep up my facade Jokingly deprecating turned into defeatist lore Rotten on the inside, but what you keep repeating it for? Crying out for intervention My words slurred absurd to think that I would even listen [Hook] East Kearsley Went there for collegiate life Tumblin’ through drunkenness, assumption is it breeded spite Asphyxiated by the cords and tassels people seem to like For maize and blue my hatred grew can I escape these fiendish rites? Trials and tribulations but i’m faking like i’m doing fine You can keep the sermons, wake me up when there’s communion wine Upright, head high, fearful but won’t cave or welt Cry no more young one your legacy won’t pave itself [Verse] Powered through the discomfort, mortal so I ache and bruise Ever been trapped behind the eightball after paying dues? Happiness elusive unless i’m staggered or chasing nudes Empty cups are validation, binge til’ I can’t taste the booze Edgy, anarchistic, skipping class and breakin’ rules Oblivious, but what you’re pining for is in your face ya fool Enough with all this sucka stuff, cut the bluffs and toughen up Cuz sparring with the man in the mirror just left my knuckles scuffed Comprised of two bloodlines, the Smith’s and the Elsy’s One gave you a heart of iron, other tools for welding Selfish, when you succumb to all of that nightly moping Pugilistic duties, go and fight, don’t get roped in Fires of human essence, inspired to do my best then Bioluminescent don’t quell it make hooch a vestige You’re prescient, colossus in mammalian flesh Mama named me soldier, so you know your bravery’s set [Hook] East Kearsley Went there for collegiate life Tumblin’ through drunkenness, assumption is it breeded spite Asphyxiated by the cords and tassels people seem to like For maize and blue my hatred grew can I escape these fiendish rites? Trials and tribulations but i’m faking like i’m doing fine You can keep the sermons, wake me up when there’s communion wine Upright, head high, fearful but won’t cave or welt Cry no more young one your legacy won’t pave itself East Kearsley Went there for collegiate life Tumblin’ through drunkenness, assumption is it breeded spite Asphyxiated by the cords and tassels people seem to like For maize and blue my hatred grew can I escape these fiendish rites? Trials and tribulations but i’m faking like i’m doing fine You can keep the sermons, wake me up when there’s communion wine Upright, head high, fearful but won’t cave or welt Cry no more young one your legacy won’t pave itself
