Shoutout to Xavier Holliday from Paris
This is need to know three
Papyrus flows
I was in a house of mirrors trying to find a door
Self reflection set me free had to praise the Lord
Coming up short is something I can't afford
Because so many ppl die where I come from
A young-in asked me how I did it
I told him commitment
And business run smoother when you minding yours
Don't let your vision stop at the end of your block
If you want it you can do it and get out your hood
He said these niggas be hating
And I told him good
That mean you shining bright enough to get noticed
Stay focused
Be cautious when you giving out favors
Tell them yes a hundred times you a savior
First time you tell them no you a hater
I saw that movie before
And I don't like how it ends
I dropped him off at the store
Rolled down the windows and then
He asked me when I'm dropping
I told him I'm back on the scene
They slacking I see
They talk but don't work
That's backwards to me
Got paper to get
It's green as a Shrek
More cheddar
Make my blues more better
So clever with the prose
A poet I'm forever
No better when I flow
Project like professor
I'm just teaching as I go
Grew up around gorillas
Every story that I told
Somebody can vouch for it
You not talking what you know
You chasing the clout for it
Access to my forest
I grant it like Horace
My mind's more of a jungle
The lessons is prehistoric
Tyrannosaurus thesaurus I flip a sentence like gymnast
They profit off black ideas and give us the low percentage
F*ck that and f*ck you
Yeah I'm opposing the system
So as I compose this written
I'm putting my soul within it
The memories you invent
Nobody should own the rights
They're yours from the beginning
Keep them and hold them tight
Labels want my soul
I want it more
I know they sell spirits like liquor stores
Mesopotamian flows
Scribble my pain on these scrolls
And eons from now
I'll rain down from the clouds
Back in effect
Back in effect
Played your tape
It was average at best
I'm back on the scene
You slacking I see
Talk but don't work
That's backwards to me
Back in effect
Go lasso a check
Go get it
Paper to get
It's green as a Shrek
