Lyrics The Detour - Ekoh

The Detour

Yo, see every once in a while you gotta switch it up
Do a little something different from the norm
We’ll be back on track soon, don’t worry
But for now
This is the detour
Yeah, this shit is simple when you think about it
I’m writing my life but every time I rap they seem astounded
So here I got a new album for you to fight for
I don’t think they understand that this the shit that I would die for
Better start the cipher 'cause I’m shitting on these emcees everyday
They stopping your record halfway through and my shit is still getting replayed
And yeah I’ve been listening and getting real sick of when everything sounds
the same
I rip some beats and knock your brain around
They talking Dr. Dre
Fame;
that shit is made up
When I came up on the scene they really hate us
Then I realized they afraid I’m gonna stay up writing all this shit
They off in the club so lit
They gone to impress some chicks
And I’m off on a mushroom trip
Like so sick
Flipping delivery
Everyone trying to stop and to limit me
Catching a buzz and I had an epiphany
Fuck everybody that’s up in the industry
I just keep going off into infinity
Yeah I’m above and beyond
And the only white dude doper than me his hair was blond (damn fucking right)
Y’all still staring, huh?
Yeah I don’t blame it’s natural
They all said fuck an emo rapper
I say fuck you back so
I’ll just keep talking 'bout my life and struggles with depression
You can talk about the block and how you garnished all your weapons
You ain’t pulled no trigger homie
And I ain’t no gangsta either
I’m just dope enough that I never had to lie to be here
Y’all don’t see clear I got this 20/20 vision
This comic nerd has gone absurd they turning me into a villain
But I got no ceiling
When you think you got me cornered nah
I take the story, flip the fucking script like M. Night Shyamalan
See I’m an atom bomb
With every song right when I drop it
It’s the equivalent of Wakanda when Thor stops in
A stormbreaker for born haters with sore pockets
You’re store playdoh I’m tornados with more hot shit
And they be talking but you’re all sounding so insecure
Thinking you’re dope but you were graded on a wicked curve
There ain’t nobody else popping what credit this deserve
I had to stop along the way to school y’all on the detour
Yeah, so you can hate that’s what a hater do
No wonder why my Spotify’s still got way more plays than you
