Stressin myself to mend old shit..pressure lessened when I told it...confessions just to end the tension but I grow from lessons and the toughest scoldings....best advice from our despised...actin like they always know shit. forgive them for their ways they know not what they say, see why you’d take their lives but know this I put my soul in a case..impossible that it escapes...untouchable how imma stay...but I keep standin in my way...my vices eatin me alive...cant help Im feelin like the tank is goin down to E I’m runnin low on all my inspiration I been wastin borrowed time At war with myself...these forties on forties destroyin my health...I'm bored with my wealth...not keepin it G with no cheese I need help...these doctors ain't shit! These people don't give a fuck but oh well. I'll self medicate on my own if I die I know that I won't go to hell But why do I feel as if my belief is bleeding out There’s no room left in hell to harbor an innocent man...I recognize that my affinity for living on the edge could mean the end...but I keep wakin up...givin into doubt ...no escapin empty faces in this place but I don’t hate the sin or crowd But why do I feel as if that belief is bleeding out

Prayin to the almighty highest of all, step back the sky tends to fall. On the brink of destruction young sinners wanna judge but declined to absolve Destined for fire, this world won’t be risen out of the depths. preachers for hire I kept with a peace so I’m smilin it off Ill trust the day I lean into my descent I trust I’ll stay alive…to keep to my agreement GOD!…. How many more years will I be stuck here in this place!? Bombarded by dark souls and they all seem the same I’m a keep to the code, back to my drawin board, reach out when my time comes, I won’t die till my soul is yours Ill trust the day I lean into my descent I trust I’ll stay alive…to realize our agreement (I took a leap and I landed it I took a piece of the planet and manifest everything!)

I count on the call to awaken...I’m bound to a fault, I’m exalted, exhausted and shaken... I found out you’re posin you’re righteous for life that you’ve taken...I see through your movement, ulterior motives at stake here I’m left to emerge from the fray I pray that you suffer defeat but not cuz I want you to sink, I want you to grow cuz I saw you struggle to breathe, they’re banking on seein you fold. Preparing to feast The powers that be, hide inside the top of towers and pull out the cyclical strings, makin you dance and makin you follow what they don’t believe in demanding you feed Keep you consuming nigga, be a man and squeeze the trigger boomin bigger, wipe your own out...that’s what all the homies talk bout...I see that they got you now Let’s have a look at your face, not every expression is fake but I feel the shift in your state, posture, buckle beneath all the weight. I’ve seen inside of your cage. What’s under the mask, I called you to think, you servin these cowards your heart and your soul on a platter to eat. You question conspiracy theories while spirits posses you to drink What happened to keepin the faith, doubt oozin out of your veins, too proud to come out n say, you battled and made some mistakes, it rattled you crawling away The beast is too powerful walks in the day. These peasants too radical, flattened their wave, there’s nothing so magical that you’ll be saved, no matter the cost, it has to be slain Bang bang blood on the streets, chained gangs love the deceased, billionaires love the diseased, rain drain floods in between, rivers run black won’t cease I see the lines...rolled in between them my whole life

Chained in a black sea...broke from the waves that distract me...mingle with the white still a black sheep....people watchin none of them attract me...see em walkin straight into the slaughterhouse...I fade into the black, you’ll never catch me...witnessing the wolves goin on the prowl...I turn a blind eye in the backseat..... Prayin that it lasts till my last sleep...a peace I never had in my passed teens...I shut you niggas out till I’m back dreaming... Blood suckers with the virus and no vaccine... Fake friends wanna love then attack me...demanding all my change like a crack fiend...I patch up all the holes in my gold plating..armored up so that you can never crack me... When I go will you miss me...will I know that the way that I grow is a goal, will you diss me.. Don’t speak either way I’mma stay on the road til it’s ending.. No matter what I’m on my own as I go and I know that it fits me.. I’m alone and I’ll never be a clone cuz I know that I’m distinct... Won’t fall to the crowds when they call cuz they all want enlistings... Seen em clammer when they crawl to the clowns for the next show trending... ...I won’t be up on the stage when your fame hits imma go missing... I’m ready for the next level up in a throne I can feel my soul turn to stone now I will never trust another one of you I can see my shadow scared to hang around n show me that I’ll never be alone I can feel my soul turn to stone now I will never trust another one of you I can see my shadow scared to hang around n show me that I’ll never be alone

Under Oath 02:12
Outlier outlive the strain, programmin outdated, flush these glitches out secure the game, conscious less they faded, bless this path I knew to never stray, I rest easy seein that I grew from all this weathered pain. Ill suffer some stitches but see I keep to the code, I’m never betraying the trust of the ones who I keep to my soul, I keep to the role, I run to the edge of the world in my mind cuz I long to behold, a paradoxical existence I’m in this, I tear through the obstacles opt out their vision. My coalition with me never ride alone but love it by myself submerge into my sentence Shutting out the insignificance of simulations in the way... Savoring the smoke we cloud the room invoke the powers of the gray... I’m back and forth with how I choose to move at night, the compass doesn’t say... I’m playing by their rules and fooling everyone I see through in the day They got us surrounded by the pawns they sent to turn us fake... Back to back we stand our ground and make them burn away Slippin through these cracks our capture failed and they knew we’d evade I’d rather die than live with imprints of them in my veins Why can’t I peel back the blinds from your vision
