Right Now

(album: Funhouse Mirror - 2019)

I been more concerned with what's in your heart than what's on your resume
But goddamn, that was way harder yesterday before they started pressing play
Bench-player pressed to play more than fifteen minutes, I done bled too much for gimmicks
And the pressure makes diamonds, I'm a thriller-play
Trying be Quincy Jones of the killer raps, couldn't kill me, the real is back
Why it take 50 clones to reveal a fact?
Why like 3-milli homes got foreclosed but the banks all got their scrilly back?
Shit, I ain't preaching, these my random thoughts
Yellling at the game like don't you see you got a Randy Moss?
Why you keep on handing off? I'll save the game one-handed
Couldn't brand me, I'm like Sean P meets Bernie Sanders dog, wild muhfucka
Type to smash your moms and when you ask me if I did, respond like, "word to mother"
My drive got me pulling all-nighters, I'm urban trucker with it
The cream coming from all this work, I churn butter with it
That blow up only for show, man these rappers puffing fishes
But I don't lay off, you getting ate regardless even if you trash, like this shit the Eastern Conference playoffs
I never been served but you got the type of shit that wait on
I'm in a better place but better don't always mean good, homie
The ice melt in the whiskey, til' the symptoms melt with it
But you know I always show up when it's game time
Cause you can be up and down at the same time

Cause I been down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Homie but I'm up right now, listen, I don't give a fuck right now
Cause I been down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
I don't need no luck like, I like life the tough type
Liquor in my cup like, liquor in my cup right now
Fuck all of the villains and the bucks right now
Fuck all of the feelings I ain't stuck right now
Homie, right now is enough right now
Right now, right now

I'm rapping very nicely, eating the cherry Icee
Speak at your staring wifey, she tell me I'm very Pisces, please
I deal in facts, wielding raps like numchucks
Who want what? I'm selling pronouns
Amateurs riddled but look at the truth, it's profound
Dumbfucks make the most sounds
Dribblin's the new shooting and everyone playing zone now
Shit, it gets hard to pass, yo I won't lie
When everyone's in up, when you get the rock, yo it's go-time
Shit, sometimes being present is the hardest challenge
Sometimes your morals look good on paper
But when it's time the court be in balance
And your impulses don't rule in your favor
But bad days lead to good weeks sometimes
Like when I thought I'd never hear through the static
And now I'm on beat from Static, so pour me a glass, shit I'm up right now
I got the rest of whenever to be down

Cause I been down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Homie but I'm up right now, listen, I don't give a fuck right now
Cause I been down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
I don't need no luck like, I like life the tough type
Liquor in my cup like, liquor in my cup right now
Fuck all of the villains and the bucks right now
Fuck all of the feelings I ain't stuck right now
Homie, right now is enough right now
Right now, right now
