Yo
I don't want to set the world on fire y'all, I love it too much
I just want to start a great big flame right down in the bottom of your heart
You see, in my heart I got only one desire
And the one desire
Is to take this white supremacist patriarchal bullshit
And burn it to the motherfucking ground!
Born for this shit now I'm in my true form
Black George Wendt - baby I'm the new norm
Can't even look at these bitch niggas, they Sue Storm
They rhymes lukewarm and the music is boring
It's like porn when they rapping, yo they suck for real
And they scared of the static - they all Chuck McGill
I'm way too trill to give a fuck how you feel
My hands up 'cause I'm all like "fuck is the deal?"
Dealt a bad hand, hoping that we might fold
Or they shooting at ya 'til they catch ya in the right pose
So I stay connected to the streets, I'm a light post
That's on God like gray hair and white robes
Started from under the boardwalk now it's our time
Leave your empire in a chalky white outline
Now I'm finally getting a piece of the divine
You need a visa to be in my state of mind
Put it right on my shoulders 'cause my back's bigger
Call me he, call me him, or call me that nigga
Mad bitter 'cause they got us in a damn zoo
On black twitter, show the kids what we can do
Shit's now all fucked up, it's a SNAFU
So when the queens give the word I'ma snap to
Feeling so blessed though I ain't said "achoo"
Best rapper in the world got a girl tattoo
Free your mind from prison, that's what art do
Only CO in my vision is the car fumes
Get the picture nigga? I developed in a dark room
Now I bring the fam together, I'm the couch in a cartoon
Tryna start a coup since I was 17
I'm a hundred dollar bill, I won't never change
Somebody better pay, but who should catch blame?
That's hard for me to say, like Tua's last name
You ain't got the right shoes to step to me dude
It's mad steppers around me - HBCU
Y'all cellophane lames, y'all all see-through
My nephew got a kiddie pool deeper than you
Tell your crew I'm giving lessons, better take one
If you kill me I'll still be the first nigga to say something
Pissing you off from beyond the grave son
The making of a posthumous number one
Ya too small-minded tryna fit in a large
I'm out on a limb, tryna get women in charge
Barged in with a solution, I got you
I propose revolution - you should say "I do"
Grew from the underground, now we en route
Reinforced so now we demand our due
Told the Universe I want to work with Ms. Badu
Best rapper in the world got a girl tattoo, nigga

Ah is that Triz there?
Oh hey Mrs. O'Leary
It's miss
And where are ye off to looking like a fresh pint of Guinness?
I'm just - I'm just going over to the park
I got all the park you need right here love
You can park that big Mac truck right in my wee garage
Yeah I uh, I should probably get going though, nah mean?
Um, I'll see you around though
Now you come 'round here anytime now you hear?
There's some hoes in this house
You hear me Triz?
There's some hoes in this house!
Square nigga with greasy raps
At the front door better let him in
I'm tryna get to where Weezy at
I'm a young George Jefferson
It's medicine in this hot wax
That I'm sellin' - Jan Levinson
Settled in out Ireland
I'm a 32 county denizen
I'm pedigree, you step to me
You dead meat - venison
Dear me, I clearly want all the beef
I'm wellington
You stepping into a reckoning
I'm severing your Letterman
Went back, Jack, did it again
Like Steely Dan (Who?)
Ask your Gran
You sleeping on me like tryptophan?
You trippin' fam, I'm sicker than
Jeffrey Epstein if he had the 'Rona
Drank ammonia then painted over
The Mona Lisa with gold teeth
And was smoking a stogie
See I'm so deep when I'm in my bag
That last chip, it don't stand a chance
Get backlash from the grapevine
Got the beat back like slave times
So I take mine and suddenly
I get paid to rhyme now it's fun to be
Off-balance still running free
I thought about it, it humbled me
I was taught magic to some degree
'Cause like tossed salad I'm tongue-in-cheek
We gon' party how we wanna
Take a hit then hit the sauna
Bad bitches, think Rihanna
Couple chicks is sin pijama
Baddest nigga since Obama
O.G. like Cappadonna
Homies know me so they holler
Make a show of ye, la dee da
I'm Bender, this Futurama
I'm the greatest, Maradona
Couple blunts of that marijuana
Turn the club into Tijuana
Craic incarnate, checks with commas
Honest we don't want no drama
You a target for mañana
Scarlet for your baby mama (Whoa)
These politicians, they claim to listen
But their decisions immoral
They paint a picture but can't deliver
These lame niggas DiGiorno
From saint to sinner to make figures
Will they forgive us? Lord knows
But I had to pivot like David Schwimmer
To make a living that's normal
So I swore an oath to not get caught into
This influenza of influencers
With so many different ways to get fucked
It's like a porno Choose Your Own Adventure
So I went the whole nine
Stayed underground, found a goldmine
Turned coke lines into cold rhymes
Shit bro, it's showtime!
Motherfucker this cursory
So sick should've been in infirmary
I read Camus I can do absurdity
Get black girl magic from sorcery
These verses come from adversity
Where I spent a damn eternity
Personally I wanna rep for the queens
I swear on Fred Mercury
And say "fuck this rap fraternity"
I'm returning what they serving me
Sent back what that waiter sent me
I'll but I ain't patient, get me?
They won't turn me into a worker bee
Commercially I'm doing surgery
On Sharon Stone 'cause they convinced me
To stay operating on basic instinct
We gon' party how we wanna
Take a hit then hit the sauna
Bad bitches, think Rihanna
Couple chicks is sin pijama
Baddest nigga since Obama
O.G. like Cappadonna
Homies know me so they holler
Make a show of ye, la dee da
I'm Bender, this Futurama
I'm the greatest, Maradona
Couple blunts of that marijuana
Turn the club into Tijuana
Craic incarnate, checks with commas
Honest we don't want no drama
You a target for mañana
Scarlet for your baby mama
Whoa

Patriot Game
03:16

All you hear is Donald Trump and all of them talking about fear
We're the ones getting killed
We've been hung, we've been shot
It's - it's amazing
Why we keep loving this country
And this country does not love us back
This a soundtrack to a profound lack of empathy
A symphony of white supremacy
And the melody be all helter-skelter
'Cause we left to pick between health or shelter
Ay Doc I felt ya, you's a real one (Huh)
But me I'm feeling like Wilbon
Tony, I'm not surprised - show me American pride
It's only ropes in the open so it won't be disguised
I see the thirst in your eyes, won't you cry for me?
R.I.P. to who I tried to be
A straight-laced kid getting straight A's, but still feared (Huh)
That's the irony
Y'all keep your head on a swivel when you swimming with sharks
Two-eleven in your melon way I'm stealing your thoughts
Chilling with some felons getting high in the park
Dikembe man, I stay on the block
All of y'all young rebels hear what I'm saying
Blind love for America's a terrible thing
Take the pledge or be prepared to hang
That's our position in the patriot game
I'm wearing 1916 when I'm playing
'Cause they see as trouble and they treat us the same
So we get the blame when the streets in flames
That's how they made us a part of the patriot game
It's a war going on, Johnny get your gat
He shooting back with just a deuce in the mag
'Cause red, white and blue got no room for black
Seinfeld on the track, what's the deal with that?
And when you peel it back it sound bananas
It's levels to this shit and I've been down the baddest
Ay we more than a set, say word to Alanis
Shit you oughta know, you got that quo status
All we get is static from this systematic anti-black shit
My traffic's intersectional - I got your back, yo
It's been a trans-mission since we started to plan it
So I went and got a stick but it's a automatic
Click click clack and then you hear the ratchet blast - nah I'm lying
It's just that they only listen when it's violence in our rhymes
So anything we getting it's gotta be from crime
See the wheels done fell off, so I'm retiring
All of y'all young rebels hear what I'm saying
Blind love for America's a terrible thing
Take the pledge or be prepared to hang
That's our position in the patriot game
I'm wearing 1619 when I'm playing
'Cause they see as slaves and they treat us the same
So we get the blame when the streets in flames
That's how they made us a part of the patriot game

All 2 Much

She said that it's all too much
I'm a nice guy, blah blah, such and such
I knew when it begun it'd be a short run but
I don't wanna feel nothing except her touch
So let me go numb
'Cause I'm so fucking dumb
And I defo know I ain't a victim
But a nigga too broke for anyone to fix him
Pint by pint I'll get you out of my system
She said "It's all too much, Triz"
Standing on her own, she don't need no crutches
But I can't see her without needing her in my clutches
So I guess I'm just outta luck kid
Like I lost it all at the casino, dog
The queen of my heart, but it's not in the cards
Still hoping our day will come after all
Like a romantic "Tiocfaidh ár lá"
How a grown man crying over a chick
Who told me she don't even like the way I spit
I'm like a diet of all popcorn and Twix
I knew one day I was gon' make her sick
But I never thought that it would happen this quick
Told moms about her, now I feel like a git
'Cause I gotta throw the deuces like I'm taking a shit
Be on my merry way - that's her Christmas gift
She said that it's all too much
I'm a nice guy, blah blah, such and such
I knew when it begun it'd be a short run but
I don't wanna feel nothing except her touch
So let me go numb
'Cause I'm so fucking dumb
And I defo know I ain't a victim
But a nigga too broke for anyone to fix him
Pint by pint I'll get you out of my system
I'm feeling down like a winter coat
Tryna figure out how I'm so unlovable
She saying "Bro, don't take it so personal"
But then she out the door with a white boy so I go
Back to destructive thought patterns
Fiddling with my heart like she playing the trad, man
It's a dark night, tryna be Batman
But still running from ghosts like Pac-Man
But even he got a missus and he choose her
Friday nights I'm hanging with Mr. Cooper
Wondering why I'm such a loser
Checking my phone every ten, like I'm hitting the snoozer
But I refuse to wake from this dream
Think I'll get pissed instead, I got a pee-brain
And I ain't never letting go of this sweet pain
Paid a high price, but she let me keep the change
She said that it's all too much
I'm a nice guy, blah blah, such and such
I knew when it begun it'd be a short run but
I don't wanna feel nothing except her touch
So let me go numb
'Cause I'm so fucking dumb
And I defo know I ain't a victim
But a nigga too broke for anyone to fix him
Pint by pint I'll get you out of my system
Pint by pint I'll get you out of my system
Pint by pint I'll get you out of my system

Thots and Prayers

I'm running on black tar leaving track marks
See what you wanna see, these Rorschach bars
Uh
Mos def I'ma be a fucking black star
Fighting back against stacked odds
Yeah
I shed a tear for the dead when I'm here
'Cause I'm here to make sure you hear us, ya heard?
And when I heard it was your man who gave the word
I'm here looking for your dog like "Ladybird!"
The nerds and misfits is about to shine
In a minute we gon' be right on time
So I'm rhyming hard like Mac Mittens
Huh
But scary cute like black kittens
My life story written in red ink, all this blood drawn
Gina was 23 when she went home
But a wise man said "Them that's dead is gone
We give 'em to God and move on"
Put your lighters up, we got weed in the air yeah
It's thots and prayers
It's opps in here, but we don't care we got (We got)
We got thots and prayers
Came from the bottom and we know despair for real (For real)
But now it's thots and prayers
For the homies inside, we outchea
With thots and prayers
I'm flipping soul-chicken so you won't forget
It's like riding a bike so I'ma peddle the shit
You gon' taste my pain with every lick I get
Baring my soul like I'm showing off my kicks
Leave the trees for me, but I don't need that stick
Got mob ties, but I don't know J Prince
Appraisals of praise every time I spit
Verse got more jewels than a pirate ship, nigga
Put your lighters up, we got weed in the air yeah
It's thots and prayers
It's opps in here, but we don't care we got (We got)
We got thots and prayers
Came from the bottom and we know despair for real (For real)
But now it's thots and prayers
For the homies inside, we outchea
With thots and prayers
Put your lighters up, we got weed in the air yeah
It's thots and prayers
It's opps in here, but we don't care we got (We got)
We got thots and prayers
Came from the bottom and we know despair for real (For real)
But now it's thots and prayers
For the homies inside, we outchea
With thots and prayers nigga
