Oneida Video (MV)

Feeling like I 'Pied the Piper'
Walk around your block and turn a stone into a polished cypher
Always gonna stay in my lane its just been getting wider
Never knock cause all my doors are open I just step inside them
Rummage through the details of my life I've got some underwriters
When I come around they're treading lightly like a bald tire
Come to life in everything you read like I'm highlighted
I revolve round everything you see like I'm eyeliner
Deep inhale this musics what I breathe in like a wildfire
Drum it, hum it, write it, rap it, sing it, you can choose your fighter
Remember when them boys would hit the lights and duck off on Oneida
Ask me what the hell I'm doing lately spending time writing
Turn a tangled situation wavy like I'm Flynn Rider
I'm refining
Don't envy the size of the box you decide to stay inside of
Pull that feeling straight up out of your heart
Hand you the pliers
Trying to send a message that'll still resonate when I'm in my 90's
Takes a lot of patience I'm just stacking my days
Trying to pocket your inspiration gets you swallowed in waves
Still I've got mind floating off in a daze
Thinking of rhymes
I've never heard of any closet rapper staying silent til' I pop on centerfold page
Counting down the metronome on Monday night, you're watching the game
I'm in Saint Tropez with Louis talking over beignets
The bread is rising so is the tide, thank god I came out unscathed
And you ain't never put a 'season in' don't call me "old bae"
Maybe it's for the better just to clear my head and lobotomize situations instead of blow my top like it's a toupee
Got to know that putting yourself first shit's never up for debate
And something shifted in me lately
Finally don't care about what they're saying
Never again, everything that you need can all be found within
Two years I go I'd keep it all in the drafts
My biggest fear's not seeing how far I can take it before I run out of gas
Feeling like I 'Pied the Piper'
Walk around your block and turn a stone into a polished cypher
Always gonna stay in my lane its just been getting wider
Never knock cause all my doors are open I just step inside them
Rummage through the details of my life I've got some underwriters
When I come around they treading lightly like a bald tire
Couldn't steal my sound if you were aiming "Swiper stop your swiping"
Never made a single to be famous, that is not enticing
Not sure when a label comes my way if I'm going to even sign it
Been a minute since I heard your name I had to hit reminder
Rather get a mention from my friends I know you're not a lifer
Some reason this year the 'stakes' are different like a local diner
Took a minute to get in position now I got the Midas
Finally flexible with how I spend my money and my time
I found my inner peace was always near me when I lit my fire
Make sure love is outweighing your fears and fueling your desire
Probably die before you ever hear me I'm from Carolina
