......I be makin ruthless records
.....turn your hard work to fruitless effort
...press play....that’s goats breath
1st verse:
break a pen like wind… the ink leaks
come in on ten…& all the freaks tweek
….Steppin to these niggas like it’s Greek week
Anorexic insomniac…I eat sleep
Gangbangin on beat street…. keep it thoro
Change lanes often, blinker, hit the turbo
Lose control
Cruise control
Yo news is old, nigga
Them rules get broke….
………this a toast to the folks n nem
…Everytime, I feel like I’m, suppose ta win
Goin in, that’s my attitude —- fuck em all
Summer mine,
Game on the line, I want the ball!
PASS THE ROCK, nigga!!!
Hook:
......I be makin ruthless records
.....turn your hard work to fruitless effort
...press play....that’s goats breath
....fam....I be makin def jams
Lookin at these legends like, “Let’s dance”
2nd verse:
This that undiagnosed,
….grill cheese, iron n toast
...The Down side up
I am your host...
Welcome to it...
....I be feelin like the drugs the only thing that help me thru it
& Therapeutic music
…Write a world where I run shit - one sip
Of the rum then, my pen a gunship
Endless ammo, big bumps like rented camels
Instant vandals, ya niggas all smell like scented candles
…sickest handle in the league
Dismantlin ya man’s and nem
I’m cancelin ya feed
Timeline flooded… fresh fish, gutted
Thuggish Ruggish at the airport wit no luggage…
Trippin…
HalfHook:
....fam....I be makin def jams
Lookin at these legends like, “Let’s dance”
…press play that’s goats breath
3rd verse:
I rap a lot ...
Hit licks sweeter than apricots
Space shuttle fly...
high as astronauts
Astronomical flow, no limit on it
….u can’t find a nigga I owe
When them cameras hot…keep the mics onnnn
...I rock until they turn the house lights onnnn
...nawwwww bitch / ion got a off switch
…..cyanide…. Circle of bosses
….take my wins wit my losses, remain cautious
Approach wit caution like a mufukka coughin
Covid——can’t get boxed in, I’m claustrophobic
…Fire up the grill just to toss you on it -
Makin Awesome moments
Hook:
......I be makin ruthless records

Scott Storch, jumped off that porch, both feet
Got that torch, cold heat

Cop the shotty, sawed it off
Slugs for the plug, get the drugs then they goin cheap

In war, nobody win - that why this an invasion
Pihranna oitta water man, this shits amazing
….Triple digit magnums break the laws of physics
…beat these niggas bloody then jus, call it business

Verse 1:
Growin weed in, the garden of Eden
Half tweekin, geekin, speakin to demons
…Legion of doom
Alerts when I’m leavin a room
Too gone… and this bitch keep feedin me shrooms
Rollercoaster… kick doors then hold ‘em open
All the way to Nova Scotia til they overloadin
Sound potent…like it’s drugs downloadin
Mufukkas that can’t swim get found floatin
…..While I’m in the ocean, breast strokin
Try smokin wit us and get ya chest broken
End up on a ventilator…. I’m incubator hot
Born innovator…. Read about me in the paper
My ops ain’t ops - they dead men gossipin
— pop in ya beauty shop & co-op the oxygen, bitch!
Hook
…Plant seeds that stampede the globe,
…Plant seeds that stampede the globe
…Plant seeds that stampede the globe
When I’m deceased, by then the beast’ll rise like yeast
Verse 2:
I had a premonition — I was killin niggas just for existin’
In the era I exist in
…Fuck a Hollywood endin… the villain winnin
Written in blood, cuz now that’s all I dip my pen in
Battled myself—- that mufukka kilt me
Hit the studio—- Bionik rebuilt me
Clean but I’m filthy —- too cold: I’m guilty
……Best believe, if I ain’t… I will be
…Make moves like Corey Gilkey & Corie Luckett
Typin what I feel, quote me: my story public
Some niggas caint take the hate, but I fuckin love it
Got me feelin right at home, bitch - Double Dutches
…blowin smoke rings…. I fly wit broke wings
….Like a elephant herd how we approach things…

Turn a track meet to a trap meet
40 yards and runnin, bucking from the back seat
.....I lack sleep.....insomniac
Swarzennegger in the battle like, “ I’ll be back”
Wit a big uzi, lay ya horizontal tho
Mufukkas get folded up like envelopes

I hang around this bitch like the common cold
So sure.....there’s no cure
Pardon my French n shit, nigga - Bonjour !!

4K spray...all day...I’m E.T
Outta this world....on top like ZZ
Graffiti script, I write raps in 3D
Glow in the dark bars, shit stay lit

....Kevorkian, strike like a scorpion
How the fuvkin story start is how the story end
....reverse engineer fear
...Columbian neck tie - ear ta ear
...dropping Def Jams yellin, “Listen here!”
