lyrics

Hook:
I'll try to spell it for you but the spell that I've cast
Does not reflect the sentiment that's felt by the rest of the cast


1st Verse

I write these stories from beginning to end
With the liquid ink that is sitting in my pen
Then apply my rhymes to this beat from a friend
I'm outta my mind got no need to pretend

I've defend the den while you fan the flames
You can shake some hands while I rock the stage
Stun the motherfuckers leave em all amazed
It was done in a minute but it felt like days

The hands of the clock incessantly tick
They're spinning so fast that it's making me sick
While the face looks on with a devilish grin
It's the ref in a game that I cannot win

If I save some time does that mean it's not wasted
Another situation man fuck it face it
Speak in double time with a troubled mind
and try not to mumble or fumble a line

Stumble in the rubble til I find what's mine
and when the bubble bursts I'll fall head first
and search through the dirt and observe my worth
Compose a new verse and begin to rehearse.


2nd Verse

Bring it right back with a brand new sound
Give me the hey and I'll take this town
Talk about crowns but i really hate royalty
Rap for the people my boys and loyalty

Syllables and plans are not airtight
And I'm not surprised that's not a fair fight
I love my fellow man so I share my rights
Just don't get high if you're scared of heights

Stories come alive in the light of a fire
I write these rhymes for the sore and tired
Not for the core of the sorrowful liars
For those who built but don't live in the spires

Political, nah, Pivotal, yeah
Plots equivocal, good god damn
Told to sit so I chose to stand
Told not to spit but there's a mic in my hand

Spike in the plan, new sight in the land
conform, confine two cons with a scam
Heard the song and say 'shoot that man'
But I'm still at large with my crew and fam

F to the I C T I T I
O to the U S spells the best
D to the U B hyphen E
That is the equation that equals me

E to the L E G A N T
E double C add another E
Attach an N move on to the T
and the R I C now leave me be
