Nothing's worth f*cking the vibes up
So if the vibes f*cked - you not with the right one
Everything we need is inside us
We don't listen to gossip
It's written in stardust
F*cked around and drew the nine of pentacles
Financial independence on my mind
I got tentacles - like ten of 'em
Different streams of revenue
Plotting on a better view
Not trying to get ahead of you
Just trying build a better me
So I could build a better you
They gon' discredit you
Til it's just a thread of you
Nobody gonna bet on you
Til you start to bet on you
Tap the human capital
Overtake your master
Make a sacrificial animal
Don't it sound radical?
Past theoretical?
You finna live in bullshit
Or bigger than your matador?
Feel me - I been there before
Sitting on the cold floor
So I had to write it down
And I had to hit record
Took it from the basement
Brought it to the living room
Visited the penthouse
But yo I'm tryna get there soon
Right?
I had to make my world
I'm not like y'all frauds I couldn't fake my world - no
I was tripping, I was lifted, I was high
Been to the bottom of the bottle then was dry
I been asking questions from the start like tell my why
Been around the world and back I been done touched the sky
And I'm back on my bullshit
Like my very first time
My very first line
My very first rhyme
And every verse fire
It's my universe - ahh
It's my universe
Trying to be the change I wanna see
I often overcorrect, or overstep
And too much change at one time
Will take me over that edge
Not trying to be some Morrisey
But the more I see?
It's hard to keep it all in my head
I put in all in the lead
And write a verse
Spit it back to myself and get recursive
How can I rework my work
Make it immersive?
How can I make it so down to Earth but still in cursive?
Time that I'm done with my work I've made a person
Backspace an arm and a leg I still be working
Swear the purest art in the world come from compulsion
Been saturated in this like an emulsion
Been calibrated this shit - put it in motion
Been evacuated the ship - this is propulsion
Crossing both my fingers and toes I land in ocean
Been to the bottom of bottles, swallowed the potions
Been followed mottos and models - it's mostly bullshit
Been done job and the college - it's also bullshit
And all of that bravado that follows is also bullshit
You could work for hours and hours - they still gon roast you
And I done ten thousand hours by the multiple
I was tripping, I was lifted, I was high
Been to the bottom of the bottle then was dry
I been asking questions from the start like tell my why
Been around the world and back I been done touched the sky
And I'm back on my bullshit
Like my very first time
My very first line
My very first rhyme
And every verse fire
It's my universe - ahh
It's my universe
