Arik Peace - Hectic Lyrics

There's many who I respected
But I left them behind
When I had to shift perspective
Jealousy made em blind
They contested my objective
Love, theory and grind
Reinvented my expected
Dead perception of mind
In time
I hope that we all re connect
Spit rhymes, marry dimes
That our lives intercept
And make change
Forgiving's really hard to perfect
But love to those who hated you is true self respect
Affective and accepted
Often never aligns
Times reflected, unsuspected
Knock you down at your prime
Stay connected, represented
At your table and shine cause I've
Seen fam arrested, go demented
And die
And that's real
If they can, people will steal
So don't sign the dotted line
Unless you're part of the deal
And I can't guarantee
All the wounds are goan heal
But at least I can promise
That I'ma die real
I surprised myself with this track
I know that's selfish
You ain't been giving back though
*go on* Look at yourself bitch
Flip flopping on your track
I can't tell which
Kinda barrel I should pull back first
We kill fish
Ill shit, trill shit
Spark it up and chill shit
Iconic logos with no noes
Yes we are the misfits
Quick wit, don't miss
Hating on me like Chris
Wrist flicking a golden rolly
Yes this is swiss
I stand, you sit
Pull out a book and learn this
Go walk a mile inside minds
As long as you fit
Get lit, don't quit
I recommend to insist
A Conjugal loyalty to avoiding
Prison visits
I'm going too fast
What the f*ck is the limit
We used to smoke hash
Stash cash in the fitted
Now we all laugh yeah
Our designer is thrifted
Like I put pream gas right
Inside of a civic
I been
Increasing my statistics
Yeah I've gotta know peace
Mind your business keep your distance
Yeah I've got no peace
Use my wisdom, build a kingdom
Here have a piece
Not for shooting, only schooling
Please put down your piece
And my cars are always paid for
Yeah I've got no lease
So what you pull me over for
F*ck police
All of this is hot but
Here's the receipt cause
Until I top the scoreboard
No I will not cease
Or desist
I have a pot in which that I piss
Cause I fell in love with Mary
It was love at first kiss
She arrested my attention
And I did not resist
Cause through tension and rejection
Well at least I had this
But that's dead
And now I'm focused all on my bread
Don't get me wrong though
We're still sharing a bed
Now I'm smarter, call my barber
Need to trim up some ends
Cause I only let hard work go to my head
