Lyrics
This is open doors, open caskets, open season, hope is ceasing
This signifies opportunities, death, a time of openness, and a loss of hope.
I'm seasick, swimming in pools of rhymes, but reason is of the essence
Feeling overwhelmed and conflicted in a sea of words, but emphasizing the importance of logic.
So is your presence a beacon of growth? no?
Questioning if someone's presence contributes to personal growth.
Then shut the fuck up when I'm speaking
An assertive call for silence when the speaker is talking.
I'm a starving artist with the heart of a warrior, pride of a lion
Describing oneself as a struggling artist with the strength and pride of a lion.
Mind of the Kaiser, will of the Shogun walking in fire
Comparing oneself to historical figures, expressing determination.
No tears in his eyes, no breaking a sweat
Remaining composed and resilient in challenging situations.
Irrespective of circumstances, I stand in this place with answers
Standing firm with confidence and providing solutions regardless of circumstances.
And yes, God bless all men with empathy
Expressing a wish for empathy for all humanity.
Appointed ain't the same as anointed
Distinguishing between being appointed and being anointed.
Whoever sent for me, sent for me no more
Declaring independence from whoever initially called for the speaker.
I'm sipping mezcal under the mezzanine, writing symphonies
Enjoying a moment of leisure while creating powerful art.
That can even make the will of God bend for me
Expressing the artistic power to influence even divine will.
Banish it, fuck your light, I prefer my caves candle lit
Rejecting conventional wisdom and preferring a more intimate, darker setting.
Have a little, I'ma build empires off the ration
Building empires with limited resources.
Our rationale mutilated, manipulated, molded
Criticizing the manipulation of rationale to associate forbidden desires with passion.
To think and believe the forbidden fruit is passion
Pointing to rebellion and courage as the real sources of action.
So guess what's to catch then? The branches and leaves are rebellion
Hinting at consequences for those who pursue forbidden desires.
And an unshakable courage that leads to action
Encouraging self-sufficiency and the initiation of personal growth.
I crafted this random analogy of a tree to say the root of it all
Using a tree analogy to emphasize the importance of self-rooted growth.
Start sowing your own seeds, I'm here
Encouraging others to start their own endeavors despite personal fears.
Even though my cup runneth over with fear
Despite personal fears, the speaker is progressing towards their goals.
The summit in line of sight and to sum it I'm getting near
Approaching success, with the summit in sight.
For some a matter of question, the others
Recognizing that some question the speaker's journey.
Question the challenges, I chop these snakes
Confronting challenges with the intensity of a mythical creature.
I write with the fangs of a Basilisk I kill a whore
Asserting dominance and power through aggressive actions.
Crux of it all, accustomed is y'all to trash
Addressing the audience's familiarity with subpar content.
Cut from the cloth of the Passover lamb
Referencing a biblical symbol and suggesting a connection to purity.
Passage into your mind is easy
Claiming ease of access to the audience's thoughts.
Money, bitches and carnage that come from
Criticizing those who exploit themes of money, women, and violence without real experience.
Motherfuckers that don't live it, that shit is garbage
Discrediting fake personas in the rap industry.
The shoes saucony, cane Mahogany, Life hypocrisy
Highlighting the speaker's authenticity compared to others.
Don't trust these rappers they well-known for larceny
Warning against trusting rappers known for deceit.
Copy philosophy from the first book they read
Accusing some rappers of lacking originality in their beliefs.
No opinion of their own when they open their mouth to speak, yeah
Pointing out the absence of genuine opinions in some individuals.
Cross the pond, don't let the cost of it corrupt a conscience
Advising against compromising one's morals for personal gain.
Course correction ain't a option in the eye of the storm
Stating that correction is not an option in challenging situations.
Harken these words, even sharks can turn food
Warning that even formidable entities can face challenges.
Hungry is the appetite of whales and whirlpools
Describing the voracious appetite of powerful forces.
An adamant attitude is a peril
Cautioning against an inflexible attitude, likening it to a dangerous costume.
More like a costume at the crossroads
Comparing a particular attitude to a disguise at a crossroads.
Crosshairs of a crossbow, homies will double cross you
Warning about potential betrayal from close associates.
So control your loose lips, be anything you want
Encouraging control over speech and embracing diverse identities.
Just not a sheep in woolskin, I'm here
Rejecting conformity and advising against being a passive follower.
