Omens

(album: You're Not Alone - 2020)

Yeah, I feel all these omens all around me, it's been hard to navigate
Feels like every new successor trying to dance up on my grave
And all these snakes are getting hungry, wanna bite of my achievements
If I make it out alive, I guarantee they won't believe it
Stacking up ammo, put on the camo
Done way more than you can handle
Chopping the samples
Betting that you'll never make is not really much of a gamble
Setting examples, watch 'em all scramble
All of your new set is out on the candle
I'm not here to take 'part, nah, I'm here to take over

Yeah, sick of this industry, man, careers hang by a thread
They cheer on one day then they're booing you the next
If you make a wrong move, then they're coming for your neck
The fact I wanna be myself on this album feels like a threat
And it's so typical that L.A show made me miserable
People there to leach off of numbers at a predigital
Stroking your ego in an attempt to make c-notes
They tell you all of the things that you wanna hear, it means zero
Man, I don't need that
Started from nothing, I don't need the feedback
Call every shot they know they never see that
Faking for fame, you know I'll never be that
I don't want nothing to do with it
Think I'm in my zone and I'm feeling like I'm unopposed
Made this on my own, I perfect it, drop it, then I'm ghost
I've been chasing goals, that's the only way to let 'em know
But lately it's been hard to be

'Cause I feel all these omens all around me, it's been hard to navigate
Feels like every new successor trying to dance up on my grave
And all these snakes are getting hungry, wanna bite off my achievements
If I make it out alive, I guarantee they won't believe it
Stacking up ammo, put on the camo
Done way more than you can handle
Chopping the samples
Betting that you'll never make is not really much of a gamble
Setting examples, watch 'em all scramble
All of your new set is out on the candle
I'm not here to take 'part, nah, I'm here to take over

I think my biggest flaw is that I'm way too generous
If I meet somebody that I like, I always give and give
Turns out if you keep on doing that, then they turn venomous
The second you don't give 'em what they want, they're now your nemesis
These people talking 'bout all their involvement in my waves
Only thing they contributed was just being in my way, like
I don't take advice if you can't even help yourself
It's just me, my engineer, and my depleting mental health
So now they're dead to me
No, this ain't a game, this is my legacy
I cut 'em off and now I stand alone and I'm the better me
I cut off non-essentials, like this plague
Now my mental's up in flames
Talk too much about my pain
But I don't care, it's in my veins
It's so frightening
Keep 'em in the dark, you know I like to move in silence
I don't flex on social media, I've been in hiding
Yeah, I gotta plot all of my moves, perfect my timing

Yeah, I feel all these omens all around me, it's been hard to navigate
Feels like every new successor tryinng to dance up on my grave
And all these snakes are getting hungry, wanna bite of my achievements
If I make it out alive, I guarantee they won't believe it
Stacking up ammo, put on the camo
Done way more than you can handle
Chopping the samples
Betting that you'll never make is not really much of a gamble
Setting examples, watch 'em all scramble
All of your new set is out on the candle
I'm not here to take 'part, nah, I'm here to take over
