Against Tha Grain

[Intro: Jae Skeese] Uh I'm not the usual I go against the grain I'm not the usual I go against the grain (Yeah) [Verse 1: Jae Skeese] I was on my mission for money Hella things was coming secondary, like the month of February Fake and snake vibes, you never catch 'em near me As far as rap, I bury cats like pet cemetery Still ain't universally accepted Yeah, this lesson sketched up in my theories It's cool, I keep it smoother than the leathers in the seven series Ain't no stress you hear me My shorty asked me, "Where you think this gift of God will get you?" I said around the world, we travel cities packin' venues These ain't no corny bars, these raps official They [?] just like a canvas shoppin' bag that's packed with raps and nickels I put that on my dad's initials I'm from the hood where brother brandish pistols over petty beef and standard issues So our physical interactions it wouldn't be safe and handshakes, you never know which one could be your last day And life ain't all peaches and cream and crab cakes, that's why I hustle hard Things ain't working out when you stuck in some bad shapes My brother's fours up, that bond is unbreakable It's unmistakable, there's so much love it's unexplainable Look, the eyes see what they've been trained to view, my God never blessed me with a basic view Watch where imma take this to [Chorus: Jae Skeese] Look I'm not the usual I go against the grain I stood tall when plenty would have folded from the pain Check the schematics how it's moulded in my frame Solid I remain until the ending of my days My words impactful when they spoken on the stage I scheme like [?] no I ain't normal with the plays Check the schematics how it's moulded in my frame Solid I remain until the ending of my days [Verse 2: Flee Lord] I got a ride backseat in the truck nowadays I'm feeling like a boss but some think I'm a player Rent the reek and fuck what they talking, I can't hear 'em speaking Nigga fake we pickin' 'em off like we playin' defence [Hide up and tactic ?] rhyme for my mathematics Selling merch from the turf and they lined up to grab it Passionate with bars, we clashin' it with stars Sayin' prayers for my peers, while I'm ashing the cigar At least five times a day I'm busting hundred dollar licks One phone call to my youngins they be running down with blicks When I'm finished with this verse I'm throwing a crack tour If you cop a quarter brick then you gettin' it half off Ballin's falling off now all of 'em back poor Show 'em where you live they kick in your back door I said you show 'em where you live they kick in your back door [Chorus: Jae Skeese] I'm not the usual I go against the grain I stood tall when plenty would have folded from the pain Check the schematics how it's moulded in my frame Solid I remain until the ending of my days My words impactful when they spoken on the stage I scheme like [?] no I ain't normal with the plays Check the schematics how it's moulded in my frame Solid I remain until the ending of my days [Verse 3: Conway the Machine] Look I feel like cap, I won't cross my heart for no star spangle When you realise this shit designed for you to fail then it's gon change you Attack your character from all angles Give my shirt off my back to these niggas and they still not at all grateful Counting my blessings man, I couldn't be more grateful My grandmama used to say I pray that the Lord save you My bitch looking like she fell from heaven in Palm Angels You know it's the orange wraith when the don came through Sending niggas to God I'm giving them all halos Large drakos, leaving the car mangled Living on Richlawn we couldn't afford cable But it was always warm plates on my mom's table Now look at me in my city I'm for sure staple Leading by a land slide not a small ratio Richer you get the more they gon hate you, fuck 'em this russian K punch 'em like Lomachenko [Chorus: Jae Skeese] I'm not the usual I go against the grain I stood tall when plenty would have folded from the pain Check the schematics how it's moulded in my frame Solid I remain until the ending of my days My words impactful when they spoken on the stage I scheme like [?] no I ain't normal with the plays Check the schematics how it's moulded in my frame Solid I remain until the ending of my days
