Lyrics

I put all my eggs in one basket

And now I’m just scrambling to make sense

I asked one legend to spit 16

Like BB king He said the thrill

No longer exist


Being conscious in hip hop

Is a steady consciousness

Of odds stacked up against you

Being super sharp just like a Ginsu

But less in your bank Like when the rents due

Yet thankless if things do improve

And nobodies moved by what you’ve been through

It's all about the groove the publics into

We was all connected at the hip

It was always a gamble how we spit

Cats I respected from the rip

Are suddenly cashing in all their chips

It's got me Wondering if

They see inevitability

While I’m steadily ignorantly blissed

They say whatever floats your boat

But Is this another boat that I’ve done missed

I got a house on the lake

Peace for peace sake

Taking breaks

Turn em into loops and make a track

Run the track, like I’m still in the race

But am a dude that’s out of date

Am I that funk band in the eighties when Rap was thoroughly on its way

Saying ahh man that ain’t music

It's just a trend - a passing phase

Boy how deeply wrong were they

Am I discreetly facing that same fate


I remember touring with James Brown

When he was too old to be on stage

I said that won’t be me - I'll bow out gracefully

But can I really say

Cuz here I am in my fifties

Thinking I’m still grizzly

But can I bear the shame

Should I have to mention our debut album

Is it always just nostalgia

Til our last days - omega

Will fans only jam our Alpha

We'll See


Can u stand the rain when you really want sunny weather

Sometimes you don't get what you want because you deserve better

Thought of that? Have u ever

Emotionally I feel the heaviest when I'm empty

Haters on the gram strangers on the gram

Messing with me mentally living rent free

And I've been inside a cocoon that's been hiding me

So I'm turning over a new leaf grow wings

And be butter and be fly metamorphosise and be

Whether I swim up the S H I T creek

Like Andre 3000 said in Rosa Parks we dread that peak

We all want that praise dude. Our peak was our debut

We moved straight to sex with our fan base

We couldn't just chase and just date you

And they packaged us as miraculous and the fact was just that we stayed true

And that's boring sometimes but ain't you feeling the need for rap not to debase you

This is our Mount Rushmore

Faces and monuments traces of our continent confidence showing lyrical dominance

During the era of oppression our prominence

Arrested Development we promise this

An entity of dignity since our infancy

We meant to be an epiphany for the industry

And whether or not we claim victory is subjective ain't it

There's a Fat lady to our right

I guess it's right to not say goodnight until she starts to sanging


I remember touring with James Brown

When he was too old to be on stage

I said that won’t be me - I'll bow out gracefully

But can I really say

Cuz here I am in my fifties

Thinking I’m grizzly

But can I bear the shame

Should I have to mention our debut album

Is it always just nostalgia

Til our last days - omega

Will fans only jam our Alpha

We'll See
