You always find me in the ville like Herbert Hoover
I step out in Air Force 1s, Presidential manoeuvre
I’m the New Deal, call me FDR
And I don’t need to rap about all these German cars
I write bangers for myself to release my emotion
The music’s there as a cover under all the commotion
Vying for a promotion, searching for a job I don’t want
Have to start again and again as a debutant
Trapped in the cycle I didn’t wanna be, guess that’s why Dave wrote Picture me
We all want a larger purpose in this life we’re given
That’s why so many people’s stay hidden
Well not me, fuck that I’m coming up
Showing you I’ve got it wrapped, more bars than a cell
But sometimes it feels like I’m caged in my mind
There’s so much bottled up inside, open the bottle, let the liquid spill
Probably why with everything I do, it’s overkill
Asked to change my style and become more marketable
But I got into this shit to evade being a workman’s tool
Saw a man shed a teardrop after a massive attack
I am the verbal general, all of these spitters are whack
Bars come like mnemonics, I’m iconic, Jaden Smith
Give me another reason why everyone’s feeling the kid
This is a joke of a verse
Gonna put bare rappers in a hearse
It’s an all star ting when I come up on the track and I start to converse
Bars got more of a punch than Joshua and Klitschko
Now I’m under the deluded impressions the music’s gonna make me rich though
Got a few questions for the government
Why’s it black on black crime all the time
You can’t chat about this shit fam you’re white
Please stop talking, you don’t know me and you don’t know what I’m like
I see injustice I fight for it, Life we’ve all got a right to it
I’m a cultured man, I’ve seen why a man I know might join a gang
You can be right at the door, ready to enter and kicked down on the floor
Nobody cares, nobody saw
Apparently I’m too raw, soy periodista, I document what I see and what I saw
When it comes to the bars, race doesn’t matter
It’s only when you’re trying to make it up the ladder that you hear the chitter-chatter
I’m so hot, I’m about to reach foreign heights (Fahrenheit)
When the pen touches the paper you know it’s about to ignite
Why is it when I look at the news all I see is death and sadness, so much madness
And not only that, all this unsocial media, steers materialism, makes the population greedier
Expectations are set that can’t be attained, like expectation for England to win the World Cup again and again
You see people living lives that put yours to shame
A depressed generation of people emerge, they’re not to blame
Remember in this façade, there’s truths and reality
Don’t allow the internet to become your actuality
I could’ve rapped about money and women, but they’d just be more things I’d be chasing from the beginning
That’s why I travel and set my sights high, you’re given one life
Don’t allow it to be wasted on a lie
