Timeless Clocks

(album: The Shadow In The Shade - 2022)

Say that
If you a industry nigga, turn this shit off now
Fuck your stream
Yeah, yeah, yeah

In time, I had to learn to only eat what I can digest
I know they emulate the end result but not the process
I really been wide awake, I barely close my eyes when I rest
You niggas been out of place, walk in my home to climb up my steps
The audacity, y'all could just talk blasphemy, God witness
Y'all casually bought it and taxing, he fraudulent
Y'all actually falling, it's called gravity, targeted
Across the galaxy's orbit and sonning niggas
Feel like he should call me dad, but he fatherless, to them workers
That only brought me half, I need all of it with a purpose
Made a choice and threw these stones at big boys, to whom beholds it with poise
I let Mickey use my studio to diss Royce, but not for no beef purposes
Because I peak when the heat surfaces
For these MCs to compete through each verses
And the streets nurture it, I believe in what each person is
Either you sweet or rise to your feet, I read nervousness
But at least learn some shit, man who paid these niggas off?
He got away with snitching like the old lady on the porch
I'm going crazy in my thoughts, tryna help my brother eat
I'd rather die than see the day he call me boss, that shit like rabies to my dawgs, nigga

Yeah, yeah
You can't just say that he in charge, nigga
Yeah, that's facts
Them people labeled me a god, nigga

Yeah, you know I'm usually with the fam
First you see me, then you don't see me like Boosie Instagram
Tooly in my pants, just order y'all arraignment, I ain't scared
To get these off, shit don't piss me off, my daughter potty training
Long as I exit out that door that I just came in
Outside, you just can't walk without no pavement, can't talk without no language
And of course, them fouls go flagrant, the league is soft now
Was married to the game, but we divorced now 'cause she adores clout
And we ignore doubt, gon' be a long movie
Them bitches is all groupies, broke down more niggas than Paul Mooney
Talk to me, not at me, I live with the fiends
In my alley, defended the dream like John Salley
Mom's had me carrying groceries till my fingers was losing feeling
My father had no emotion, he told me to lose my feelings
Even if you the hero, they still gon' treat you like you the villain
As if you the nigga committing all these crimes and ruthless killings
We losing children, babies getting lost, nigga
He killed 'em with kindness, they think he getting soft, nigga
You pay me a late fee, then maybe we could talk, nigga
Money ain't gon' change me, that's like rabies to my dogs, nigga

Fraud nigga
That's y'all niggas, yeah
You can't just say that he in charge, nigga
Them ain't our niggas, yeah
Them people labeled me a god, nigga
On God, nigga
