Kolo - Infinity Bars III Lyrics

Do tell me your sources of inspiration
Environment.
The work of the artist is the environment.
And it is not for entertainment.
It's for listening and thinking.

You could feel the ground shake the day that God made me
The underdog turned king like my first name was David
If life is but a play then they gotta main stage him
My stomach bigger due to all my premature labor
Bank accounting eating, Jesus Christ in my favor
Flying high and I can see the future, that's so raven
Labels dissed us now they want a seat at the table
Can't sit with us, they BS is flowing through my nasal
I can't do the deal I can't relate to they behavior
I can't do the date she texting me to Apple Pay her
Mass hypocrisy is now the norm and it's shameful
How you claim religious but you never love thy neighbor
There's a war going on outside no man's safe from
And when the bombs are dropped the kids can't run
The victims of our ego is always the youth
So if you hate your brother, you just shot a baby with a bullet
Ain't no preacher man, but I'm honest with my messaging
Day I stop rapping is the day I reach my reckoning
Ice on my neck so I always sneeze excessively
Getting hot on mics the only remedy
Ain't no wife to tend to me,
That girl ain't a ten to me
Money stretch like tendons be
Tesla dealership, I told the dealer I want ten of each
I been full of tension like a tennis string
More work is the prize that attention brings
The Tok trending like the stock of a Fortune 5
The streams look like I sold my soul for corporate ties
Your favorite rappers charting, but they sound like AI
These rappers still alive but they all dead inside
They gotta fake a life so they can trick the public eye
Word to Kweli, they do it just to get by
But as soon as we say hi to them, we say bye
Another career burns out in eternal fire
That ain't gon' be me though, watch me take my leap though
C-notes keep on stacking like they boxes at a depot
Son them in the lab like I made them through in vitro
The game in my control and my words are the cheat code
I'm Ye and Jay combined, you niggas is outta time
I'm non profit plotting, it ain't for my bottom line
I'm tryna give back to the people that gave me life
There's kids in Naija that see me and get inspired
I know I do my part, my karma is gon' be right
I know to make difference is adding more to life
The fruits are multiplied when we diving the pie
Equality is crucial, the fulcrum of mankind
The math says I'm the guy, my faith is in the sky
The streams could make me retire, my only rival is Kai
See now, they wanna say they knew I'd make it
They lying cause they didn't care about my grind back in Uncle Amos basement
But we keep it gracious, tryna be one with nature
Water no get enemy, Fela's greatest statement
God sets the pace for me so I mastered patience
All my fears all faceless so I'd rather face 'em
Do it for self approval, not congratulations
Cause if you overrate applause, you'll be hurt by hatred
Love the work more than medals so I'm never jaded
Everyday I gotta book like a reservation
Steady learning, abeg, don't compare with them
I'm not competing with them, they be married to trends
Making up a scandal for clout, 'cause the drama gon' sell
Two weeks later nobody cares, you embarrassed yourself
I care too much about the game to ever let it go
The greatest came from Niger State 'Imma let em know
I've been hot since the bottom like the devil's toe
We at the top, it'll never snow, its K.O.L.O
