The Baton |
Yeah, started from zero |
But we never had zero ambition, I saw it all before it came to fruition |
The fruits from my labor and vision meant |
I would never dwell at the place I was livin', I would rather make me a living |
while feeling alive |
I’ll tell my niece about my dad, she’d never seen him alive but I see him when |
I’m sleeping at night |
What’s a guardian angel when there’s a demon inside of your forts? |
Fronted by success and there’s people that I would endorse |
So, I’m tryna see the whole team eat |
We was going OT now we go O-T-T for the money clean up, I got OCD from nights |
in the hotel OBE |
Maybe-e, love is from the hate we breed cause my blood cousin fucking try to |
make me bleed |
I won’t ever let it go, son of a gun, you won’t ever let it go, I get it in and |
you won’t ever get involved |
No bad energy, I wish the best for my enemy |
Mama told me that I should repent cause it would replenish me |
I said, «Eventually,"nothing set in stone 'till the symmetry |
I hope they lift me up after they bury me |
That’s what you call legendary, Jay-Z, Big, we’re the same and if not, |
then we’re to blame |
It doesn’t matter, on the road to fame |
Money or the problems, I was here for change |
They ain’t ready for the war |
With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah |
Look at everything I bought |
All from the pennies from my forts, yeah |
They ain’t ready for the war |
With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah |
Look at everything I bought |
All from the pennies from my forts, yeah |
I’m writing this from my grave |
I’ve died and I’ve gone away |
My wife is in Holloway |
And sky is on holiday |
If Kai isn’t gonna rain |
I’ve tried, should I contemplate? |
The nights I was on the plane |
Providing what’s on the plate |
If I couldn’t stop the pain, then maybe I caused it |
If I couldn’t fight the game, then maybe I bruised it |
But if you can’t bring up your baby, then maybe you bought it |
Cause at 4 you can leave your change, you’re enslaving your orphan |
Or maybe I’m a slave to endorsements |
Maybe I took this paper thing way out of proportion |
Maybe it had me rapping for the plaques on my walls but now I’m forced to keep |
on saying I’m awesome |
Did you listen to Wretchrospective with a new perspective? |
Are you now Growing Over Life or is this new objective? |
Are you seeing in black and white or having colors blended? |
Is your favorite FR32 verse, now my chapter’s ended |
«I used to love Wretch when he was broke way before the success |
Man, I’m talking F64S, that’s way before the dreads and all this righteous «Man, you don’t know my story, you just know my glory |
I’m Shakespeare and Charles Dickens going Hamlet off me |
I’m Spielberg and Spike Lee cameras on or off me |
Man, I paint a picture like DaVinci, get a cameras from me |
But you have to pay cash money |
I’m already your dad’s son, is he your father that has stolen these raps from |
me? |
And he clash, that hash should be the Clash of the Titans, why would I |
Battle with some shits when I could rap up your highness, this ain’t a problem, |
it’s just simple mathematics, the minus |
I’m still above you even when I’m reclining |
I’m still above you even when I’m declining |
And if you get above, it’s because I decided |
I’m passing the baton |
They ain’t ready for the war |
With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah |
Look at everything I bought |
All from the pennies from my forts, yeah |
They ain’t ready for the war |
With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah |
Look at everything I bought |
All from the pennies from my forts, yeah |
