The Art Imitating The Life

(album: The Death Of A Rapper - 2023)

I rap about the shit I see
Dead end cul-de-sacs, broken homes, apartment complexes a latchkey living
I rap about the shit I see
Deadbeat parents and child endangerment a loss of trust from constant abandonment
I rap about the shit I see
Dead bodies and dead friends, the genocide never ends a lack of conflict resolution
I rap about the shit I see
Saturated fats, backwoods by the pack, attention deficit it's hard to know we cannot multitask
And all our food is fast there's iron in the water you'll be cancer if you take a bath that's not a recipe to last
I rap about the shit I see
Cops shooting shots got niggas running like track meets or sponsored athletes
I rap about the shit I see
Another pointless post, another mindless quote, another ideology to identify
I rap about the shit I see

Life (life) imitates art
Life imitates art
Art (art), art imitates life
Art imitates life

Don't be scared of your reflection
It's just a little reflection
Why you scared of your reflection?
It's just a little reflection
Reflect

I rap about the shit I see
An eight bedroom home, a 12 acre plot, driveway looking like a parking lot
I rap about the shit I see
It's money on my mind it's money what I got, I'll spend it 'til the day my body drop
I rap about the shit I see
Another hit, another bitch, another bitch that I just hit my life is lit as shit
I rap about the shit I see
I close another deal, I made another meal, climb to the top of the mountain I am now the king of the hill
This shit get real I got people depending on me to murder the field
Do you know how it feels? It's enough to give you chills
I rap about the shit I see
Another day where I just maintain, I maintain my name tryna keep up with the fame
I rap about the shit I see
And they just see me as a walking ATM making withdraws until it all ends
I rap about the shit I see

Don't be scared of your reflection
It's just a little reflection
Why you scared of your reflection?
It's just a little reflection
Don't be scared of your reflection
It's just a little reflection
Why you scared of your reflection?
It's just a little reflection
Reflect

Life (life) imitates art
Life imitates art
Art (art), art imitates life
Art imitates life
Reflect
