Word Of Advice

(album: LYSTening - 2017)

One thing people can say about me man, they can't deny, is the fact, is that, that I'm me... I don't change who I am, for anybody or cater to anybody... I'm Lyst, you know what I mean? I'm Seff. And like, mother fuckers nowadays, it's just like...

These days everybody raps, let's see if they can last
Thinking they can make it cause they made a single track
Faking but they say that they be daily speaking facts
Trigger finger saying they can make a nina blast
Witnessing and listening to Lyst defeat a track
Tell me do you really think that you compete that?
The way you singing makes me wanna really swing a bat
Hit your face repeatedly till it'll need a mask
People keep on testing my intelligence
My minds deeper then the skeleton on elephants
Feeling as sleek as the feathers on a pelican
I keep excelling only simply for my elegance
I am just a fello on different levels and elements
I am overzealous that's how I developed relevance
Fightin for my fellowship
I don't know what to tell of this
Life that I'm reciting rhymes in while I'm selling it
Blessed with sickness never mess with nit wits
Seff insisted to protect his business
Mess with Lyst you will see I'm extra twisted
As the neck on the excorsist is
Excellent shit don't neglect logistics
Pessemistic cause my heads sadistik
Step to this you don't wanna check statistics
I'm ahead of you mother fucker now check the distance

Let's say you get in the game and you blow up off one song... alright so what's next? You just wanna be a one hit wonder? You gon be laughed at forever. You know what I'm sayin? You gotta have that foundation, you gotta be, you gotta be ready for everything. You know what I mean? Like with me, I been like, I been...

Grinding since I'm little for the dollars and them nickels
An artist that had started from the bottom not the middle
Had to write a lot of riddles now I'm hot enough to sizzle
I was caught up in a pickle now I'm flyin like a missle
See the problem is I belong in a psych hospital psychological little psycho that's living like a sicko diabolic my dialogue is the opposite of civil now I'm ballin but before I couldn't afford a ball to dribble
Straight bust the stainless
Vacate because A's rough and dangerous
Razors, I tuck them right up under my laces
Ain't this the kid that came to cut up ya faces?
Change up the flavor, raise the bass up wake up your neighbors
And I can't fuck with fakers, I keep them all away by a hundred acres
Is you gettin the message are you offended that I'll never be be-friending you peasants?
God has given me lessons and I'll be damned if you let you interfere with my blessings
Never gon' let that happen
Never gon' never gon' let that happen
Well known cause they felt the passion
So dope this fella is forever in action

And the thing about this game is you just gotta be ready to be judged at all times man, people gon' look for any reason to hate you. You know what I mean? Like, I get a lot of love because I give a lot of love, you know what I mean? So it's a little different with me. Like some will say I'm real, some will say I'm true...

Some will say I am a humble ass guy
If you disagree then you are someone that lies
Probably a weak dude tryna act fly
Just another p-u-double-s-y
That's why, gotta keep my circle tight
From all the greed and evil that lurk at night
Cause certain types of people prefer to bite
The only hand that feeds them and serves them right
Crazy, the way this feels
How these days fake outweighs the real
Hating on a man tryna pay his bills
Ya'll mad how the kid has amazing will
But still, still no major deal
How is my skill not making mills?
How you think that shit makes me feel?
What you think I like getting a lil?
Do you know the patience it takes foreal? To rap an then act like I stay fullfilled
Fam this shit wack but I came to spill
All these raw facts that gave you chills
I'm just tryna keep one hunned
Cause I don't feel a reason to front it
But no doubt I'ma keep it coming
Its going down like ski's in a summit

There's a whole lot to it, you know? It's all trial and error. You know, it's all experience, it comes with experience when you know what to do and what not to do in this game. You know, so, by me telling you all this I'm just tryna give you advice to make sure your journey goes a lot smoother then my journey went. You know what I mean? I ain't ever had nobody give me advice... everybody was just on some bullshit...
