Lifeline

No matter how it go, yeah
When it's all said and done
The greatest story ever

Told from the view of an outcast
I ain't talking Big Boi, 3 Stacks
All of my shit is over your head
Not my motherfucking fault that the bar been set at your kneecaps
I been on the edge of the ledge of the depths of the deep
Where the wind never blows and the weak never sleep
I confess I'm a mess on the quest for the peace
In love with collateral damage from all I seek, God

Damn
Tell 'em I'm ready to run a marathon
Feel like it's time to turn the propellers on
Your movement is similar to a Peloton
Cult following, they calling me a demi-god
Tryna blow like the plane that hit the Pentagon
Tell them niggas that I been invested
For the dividends, you living reckless
I don't think they ever got the message
I unlocked the presence
Beast mode, using all defenses
Nigga y'all defenseless
Left froze like a paraplegic
Motivation got me barely sleeping
Paranoid, you got me rarely speaking
Fuck a fantasy, I been living in calamity
Dotting i's, I been crossing t's with no vanity
They never understood the man in me
I'm still feeling like I'm incomplete
I'm ill, finna keep it linked like Raekwon
Chef I'm with a flow that hit a nigga like I break 'em
My mind get dark sometimes like Akon
They been sleeping on me, they treating me like a futon
Feeling like I'm Biggie, I told 'em to give me the loot now
Niggas elevated and resurrected a new high
To the game, play like Indiana Hoosiers
In touch with the real, never lost in illusions, God

All the way in [?]
I just roll another L to get high

Get through the pressure, get through the pain
Back in '09 I was tryna maintain
Had a lot on my mind that I can't explain
When it's all said and done, shit I did it my way
I never compromised, to be monetized, I can't live a lie
In the cut tryna strategize with a plan that I won't revise
Tryna make the blessings multiply
I'm tapped in, nigga call me the God
Fuck a minimal loss, the tycoon that created a flood
I'm in the back and I'm kicking up dust
Feel like I'm 'bout to combust
In retrospect I'm on your neck, the triple threat
I need my house triple decked
I got a flow that break the internet, so let me interject
The way I move, make 'em wonder where my engine at
That vroom-vroom-vroom-vroom got me on your heads
I'm operating like I'm off my meds
Somebody show me where the doctor is
We leaving niggas unresponsive here
Still have yet to see the consequence
I'm Mad Max in the apocalypse
Niggas flex, let it rock til they pop some shit
But when it drops and it stops, no I'm not convinced
If I push and propel, I can move a mountain
A comparison to my flow is a running fountain

Took every lesson and learned from it
I done been through some shit that you couldn't stomach
Niggas thought I would fall off, I couldn't plummet
I kept playing my hand, that's a dirty dozen
Feel like DMX, I just don't know what they want
And I might not pop until I'm thirty something
Only thing a nigga ever needed was the intangible shit they can't take from me

All the way in [?]
I just roll another L to get high
