LACES

I been on my way since I first laced up

Changed up my name when I first gained trust

Knots get frayed when the plains get rough

I been stoned on the wall so my soul stays tough

Pain, huh

Jane was my pitfall

Still I came through the withdrawals

Got stronger than the strain

Lungs getting back in shape

Now I'm answering missed calls

When you reach for a change

Life teaches with the criss cross

Running down the clock till it's ticked off

Stay patient don't get pissed off

Stay waiting for a slip

Get the rock

And get ahead

And make the rim fall

I usually dish it off like I'm Chris Paul

This one's different

I'm the one who's off the wall now

Bad boy piston on the rebound

Better box out when I go and put the beat down

And you wonder why they envy me

Till you see me on the MPD

All you need is a sample

Hold up I'm running outta ammo

Hit the record store

Walking out with a handful

Turntables with the off-time grooves

Man you can't quantize these moves

Keep it loose when I tie these loops into a masterpiece

It'll drop when it drops quit asking me
