Lyrics
Earth is my wingspan.
Earth symbolizes my expansive reach and influence.
Jesters pull the strings, push the buttons, watch the kings dance.
Jesters control and manipulate those in power, observing their actions.
Heart beat through layers on my body like a heat scan.
My emotions pulse through the layers of my being, detectable like a heat scan.
There's no future in their frontin, while my forecast's rainin free bands.
Others lack a promising future in their deceit, while I accumulate wealth effortlessly.
I ran up the score, they said, The game cheated.
Despite accusations of cheating, I excelled and outperformed.
Dark horse lappin your champions from the eighth seeding.
I, an unexpected contender, surpass your champions from a low starting point.
Ask your favorite rappers from Chicago, I been way decent.
I've been consistently skilled, acknowledged by Chicago's top rappers.
You're the dictionary's definition.
You embody the conventional definition, but I bring a different meaning.
It's not the same meaning.
Our interpretations are not equivalent.
Crest of my wave leaning off a center stage, screaming
At the peak of my success, I command attention, making a significant impact.
sound from above and beneath like when tape's bleeding.
My influence extends from above to below, like the distortion in a tape recording.
Shake demons through speakers across the page, speeding
I dispel negativity through music, reaching across various platforms swiftly.
moral of the story only arrived in a chase sequence.
The lesson learned only becomes apparent in pursuit and challenge.
Training montage bars: drank the yolk, lifted boxcars.
My lyrical prowess is a result of hard work and dedication.
Your fanbase is a stockyard.
Your fanbase is crowded, while mine is a collection of quality supporters.
If you left a good first impression, it was a false start.
A positive first impression is misleading; my true artistry takes time to appreciate.
My last tape's the holy grail of a lost art.
My previous work is a rare and valuable contribution to a fading art form.
Cash on hand when you hit me for a verse
I demand payment upfront for my artistic contributions.
And I need the second half fore I'm finished with the work.
I require compensation before completing my work.
Or it's all on the arm if you ever held me down
Support should be reciprocal for lasting influence.
so my name rings even when I haven't been around.
My reputation persists even when I'm absent.
Twelve hours' notice, out-of-focus cinematography. How they're living is a little different from the marketing.
Their lifestyle differs from the image they project in marketing.
I've been told that honesty's the cross I'll bear.
Honesty comes with burdens, and I willingly bear them.
Yeah. I'm already knowing cuz I hauled it here.
I am aware of the challenges I face, having overcome them.
Everybody Paul Revere 'less the redcoats show up,
We raise alarms unless faced with immediate threats.
and who we thought friends pretend they don't know us
Supposed friends distance themselves until they need assistance.
until they need a favor, and we're haters if we decline it.
Refusing favors leads to being labeled as a hater.
Wading out a portal slingin science.
I navigate through challenges, sharing knowledge.
Finally made immortal, shame your silence.
Having achieved lasting success, your silence is regrettable.
Stomping down the mountain, waking giants.
I confront challenges, awakening powerful forces.
The most you've taken off the table is my buy-in.
Your attempts to diminish my standing have minimal impact.
There's nothin plastic bout my top five bag,
My top-five ranking is genuine, shaking others from their indifference.
shook their stony disposition into rock slide slabs.
Rap serves as a healing force for my emotional wounds.
Rap is hydrogen peroxide for all my scabs.
I've overcome challenges, and my scars are authentic.
I put the bottle down and caught my draft, at long last
I've overcome addiction and found my direction.
Put the bottle down and caught my draft, at long last
Having conquered my struggles, I've found my path at last.
