Yeah
Whew
Uh huh
Yo
Milwaukee born and raised, my peoples they know
Us young cats a hit capitol like Muscle Shoals
I can't stop believing my journey of bobbin and weaving
I have more than I could ever say like Jeff Bezos
But you need to know
Like Amazon we deliver
Our reign hit the forest plus flooding the rivers
Oxymoron hot rhymes giving em shivers
Our foes kept a watchful eye like a baby sitter
Watch
Yeah
But we ain't no babies, no Johnny come lately's
Every Since the early eighties, purely from Hades
Laverne and Shirley with the rabies
Some dogs must a malled some of ya'll
Taking bites while brewing for ratings
Purple rain going crazy
Payments delaying
My wife said I'm always deep, but to me
To stay grounded, the ocean floor is the place to be
Otherwise your beliefs just float
without any hope that control is within your reach
Reach
Yeah
All great men ain't good men
But any good man can become a great one
I've chosen what I have chosen
I been woke and I ain't dozing
Like dat airport slogan
If you see something then say something
Whew
If you see something then say something
Denying that inside I'm embittered 
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here 
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
By saying something there's a likelihood
That on radio there's no way we'll be bumpin
So to Kris's Kross that in concert we keep em jumpin
And then the dream is more streams thru algorithms
And playlists maybe AD can get lumped in
Steve Jobs single handedly crushed the industry
Now music is basically free
Artists hardly eat
Got us selling perfumes and liquors
Or else five to six figures tops is where you will likely be
You're lucky to sell ten thousand units a week
Most artists sell hundreds if I keep it a hundred
Yet my creativity never been more abundant
Yet interviews asked about Drake like I'm a pundit
Trust
Thirty years plus and rare is security for us
Financially I'm just learning bout four-o-one k's
And how better to use our pay to try to spread it
To members I told em rememberer there will be better days
We can drink outta Grammy horns but at Longhorns we eat salad plates
And every once in a while a steak
Part of what I say is hyperbole and other things literal
I'm seeing more war cuz I'm the general
I guess its just that way
Yet and still like birthdays
We somehow getting cake
Denying that inside I'm embittered 
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here 
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
Savànt 
The man who has said he has no regrets
Is a man who has yet to learn to self reflect 
We are Born free somehow die in dept  
As time progress think of time I invest 
Striving to be the best with lyrics that's clever 
Til everyone dies and no one's here to remember 
Ain't that something your favor rapper
Eighties actor ain't a thing or factor
Kids see your childhood can't restrain their laughter
I'm thinQing to myself you
Ungrateful bastards 
I study the past for the master classes
That's why my raps and my tracks are classic
Perhaps without these apps you'd be half as backwards
You really thinQ Ai could match this magic
I'm telling you it can't so cancel it cancel cancerous thoughts like that it's
Arrogant
Denying that inside I'm embittered 
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here 
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
