Dark angel with a hell of a halo
Look into the eyes of the devil and try to say no
They way I snap on tracks you would think it's facts that I'm Thanos
I keep a Lo profile like Shawty, the real ones They Kno
Now do you remember, am I still a contender
For the coldest winter ever even though I'm from November?
You can try to discount me but coupon's good til forever
Gimme me my flowers pronto head honcho behead me never
Screamin about my Black life til I black out
Stayin' tapped in til I tap out
Ain't no goin' back, get the map out
Took the rap route
Now I'm trapped here, no trap house
Gotta get the cheese like a trapped mouse
And a bunch of other shit that I like to rap bout
Learned a lot of lessons in my past
Ain't no stressin' but they set that depression up on my ass
Followed that with a f*ckin' recession up on my ass
Lookin at God like ""you told me no weapon was gonna pass""
Spent days crying til night and nights wishing my life would flash
Drove around the city feelin cheaper than the price of gas
Hurt so deep I rebuilt a relationship with my dad
Turned happiness into goals and pessimism to a fad
Put all my trust in Truss, he's the best I ever had
Went ham with my mentors shout out to E and Shad
I was broken, word to Desiree, I was down doin' real bad
But I chose me and arose free, man death ain't had no chance
So I'm back on my bullshit
This is an alter call, party of one at the pulpit
You want a villain bad, then I guess I'm the culprit
The story's ready whenever you are, I'll exculpate
Big word bandit, Period Patty with the punctuation
I thought I was somebody at my convocation
But the best lesson I ever learned was patience
That being said, I know the whole city waitin
Excuse my tardy, excuse my appearance
I sampled excellence and was just waiting on the clearance.."
