Stressed With The Best

(album: HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE, Vol. 1 - 2021)

[Marlon Craft:]
I let the vision expand
Word to Lasik
They wish they could move with this love
Word to hatred
When advanced get hard most people return to basic
Get further from peace the moment you start to chase it
My past filled with strife and woe
I wouldn't erase it for the right to blow for hype and gold and be crooked adjacent
Before the fight can close in my book of pages
The rules I wrote in it are the ones they gonna play with
Your energy a non-starter
Word to Jamal Crawford
No disrespect to Jamal Crawford
But dude's try to hop around behind my back
Like I don't see it all awkward
I get that you afraid, you talking to the Godfather
Pound for pound I'm like if A.I. played in China
Dude's the type to act rookie but can't escape the minors
Dude's the type to act pussy and never ate vagina
*Mwah* I'm chef's kissing it
Still hate a hypocrite
More than somebody who doesn't give a shit, yeah
Searching for someone to be consistent with
Everybody switching up
Take the script and rip it up
When it gets to scenes that they wrote but don't like living in
Far from fearless but I'm peerless
If the real is back then motherfucker I'm the rearest
I'm past the point where their ignorance is endearing
I look you in the eye while I take the flame to this here bridge
Fuck validation at the cost of toxicity
Every second that's how often thoughts get to me
'Bout to let 'em go though, finally got the drop mentally
So let me be, yeah

[Marlon Craft:]
I just wanna free my mind, yeah
I don't wanna think too hard, no
I just wanna live my life, yeah
But if you wanna play my card, yo
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em

[Oswin Benjamin?]
Look, the God done put his heart in it
Mitchell & Ness [?] and by y'all swing man
I can tell then they ain't all clinic
The art done been augmented
William Paul Mitchell
These lyrics hit like a lecture
Still a professor at large with it
Still a nigga been spot on dawg
Keep an eye on that inner circle
Those ones'll get you targeted, mmm
It's a two-fold entendre but they won't all get it
"Spot" "dawg" "inner circle" "target"
Pfft forget it
I'm back
Listen, you lack vision
It's in a transition
Urkel's turn "Ur-kell" and start to act different
My reflection max fiction
I seen a Jekyl tryna hide
'Til I decided to see the good and the bad in him, mmm
I feel the type of stress that come with excellence
The purity refinement through the fires in my regimen
Hey you, you know that I'm gold in my element
So periodically they check this alchemist's table for evidence
It's stressful

[Marlon Craft:]
I just wanna free my mind, yeah
I don't wanna think too hard, no
I just wanna live my life, yeah
But if you wanna play my card, yo
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em

[Oswin Benjamin:]
Yo lemme um lemme know what you think about that shit
That shit was too tough bro
I had to write till that sh I went to sleep
I dead woke up and recorded that shit before I brushed my teeth nigga
That's how important you are. You see what I'm saying? Hear that?
That's me getting ready to brush my teeth right now
Just wanted to let you know, aight?
Let me know how you feel about this shit though
I mean if you fuck with it, if you don't, any adjustments you need to make my nigga
Let me know bro
