Lyrics
I'm eating well with no carbs on the plate, dodging the weight
Life's a treadmill, an uphill climb, jogging in place
No regrets, still a tough pill I'm starving to take
But if Hell is on Earth then I'm meeting God at the gates
Ain't no Heaven in the clouds, if so, why bother to wait?
Ever met a martyr with faith?
I move at a smooth and moderate pace
If death is the finish line then who's in charge of the race?
The truth is hard to debate
In a concrete jungle I grew as large as an ape
And it's hard to be humble when you was born to be great
Ever look your pop in the eye and knew your father could break?
Yeah, it's hard to relate, I put my heart in this tape
If I don't do it then who will? Yeah
A testimony of true skill
If I don't prove it, the truth will
You probably thinking you should have just took the blue pill
Thoughts from the oracle, everything they saying is rhetorical
My shit historical, but it's still more to do
Now it's time to stand up
Never needed a handout, nigga, give me a hand up
Anything that you felt real is everything that you can touch
Yeah, you plan to fail if you don't plan much
First we seen bracelets, then we seen handcuffs
Niggas told you to man up, now you giving your man up
You ain't keep it a thousand, now they breaking the band up
You'd be surprised who you can trust
They say I wasn't worth much 'cause I ain't pull my pants up
But how you know your worth when you twisting them rubber bands up?
Enough with the nonsense, I don't read in the comments
I create conscience, you create content
My shit is hard to process
Like James with a lob to Embiid, you
Can see I'm working hard in the process
Ah yes, it's looking like my year
I'm Ali foreman fighting in Zaire
Back to the ropes, coping with my fear
Judge in his high chair, staring at my grave, then he says
"Look, nigga, you probably gonna die here"
Damn, what a nightmare
Reality hits you and he don't fight fair
A knife through the heart, nobody life spared
Yeah, no need to be alarmed though
Either you Denzel or Alonzo
Maybe you started off in a condo
But you can end up like Orenthal and a Bronco
Nonchalant with the combos
It's back to back but it's still calm though
Attack the track with the ill convo
Engaged in the worst hate
First of the month, I'm fucking fiends on the first date
Brooklyn's the birthplace
We don't get betrayed 'cause we never
Trust your ass in the first place
We living life ash to dust, love after lust
Take it for granted, this the last of us
Pouring drinks out for brothers who were stabbed and cut
Plastic cups, let's toast to the last of us
Judge the frowns on the faces who ain't laughed enough
Same niggas that held you down hold your casket up
Passed 'em up, the first to be the last to trust
They don't care if it's the last of us
If I told you you were gonna live past 21 would you still be a savage?
Been framed with poor traits so you ain't know that fact
Hard to see the bigger picture when the Kodak's black
Less Super Gremlin, more Super Injun
Put down the pistols, boy, you a Piston
Get the point, God? You Isaiah
The prophet and Thomas
Bigger than that project hallway that's been pissed in
Listen, you meant to make it
Your place is not those vacants
You ain't know you were built for mansions?
Why you think God gave you wings?
Things we ain't have you must grasp for us
To these words your souls take 'cause you're fabulous
Meant to win wherever you roam, Maximus
A free man not made for the master's clutch
Dodged the cell, surpassed the cuffs
Called lazy 'cause you Lazarus
Burnt spoons, burnt dreams, from the ash was us
Glory coming soon
Stay immune to the doom
You the last of us
