See the snakes around me, cut they heads off, talking ceremony

Standing up to par, but you got issues with the bigger story
Acknowledging personal strength but addressing unresolved issues within a larger narrative.
Driving down the lane, I play my part with all my inventory

I'ma carry all the weight and put the pressure on the rivals
Taking on responsibilities and putting pressure on competitors.
Running every single lap around the field to make it hollow

Make it harder for my enemies to see a light tomorrow
Making it difficult for enemies to foresee a positive future.
You about to see me off the leash, breaking chains, don't offer peace
Anticipating a bold and unrestrained display of strength, rejecting peace offerings.
You like the little bird that flies and I'm the hawk that's about to eat

I'm not those other rappers that you seeing coming off the streets

Go ahead and say it with me, R.I.P. you been deceased

Yellow tape you get to see, digging graves next to the scene
Using imagery of crime scenes to symbolize the aftermath of challenging the artist.
So when you think you know it's time to call up names, you know it's me
Claiming recognition when names are called, asserting dominance.
