EarlyBird Nightowl

[Verse 1]

Yeah

Look, I don’t deal with peons

I beat 'em to the punch like I’m Leon Spinks, my ink leaks neon

In this colorless world seen in black and white while lacking sight

You ego trippin’ I hope you packin’ light and back tonight

‘Cause I drag you back to earth and pause it

If you with the shits then you should wear it if the draws fit

I'm still tighter than the claustrophobic in the mosh pit

And bad to the bone is the skeletons in your closet

Sit down before I make change that I’m forced to deposit

Y'all be thinking y’all Nas when y’all really Pras with the Fugees

It’s bumpin in the Mitsubishi while we eatin sushi, hey hey hey

Try to diss the crew but we don’t play play, no vacay

Or recess, not even where they surfboard and where they ski less

Or where the palm tree rest

I’m tryna make this paper not the paper in the free press

My moral compass accomplished more than the GPS inside a Prius or Ferrari

I'm sorry that y'all n****s can’t bar me to death, I’d rather bar you to life

And watch you die inside a mental prison, my eagle vision with lion pride

Leave decisions to heal and kill like incisions with cyanide

I am tied to the greatest who grind ‘til the crack of dawn

Who’s up the latest, big fish in small ponds you haters never ate us

Save right and past the point of tired to keep you inspired

Squeezin’ ‘til you fired and shoot for what you desired

[Chorus]

Up when the birds chirpin'

Rollin' herbs, workin'

On the illest master plan ‘cause I don’t sleep

Up all night when I write that

Snorted white that could’ve shortened hype on the gold peak

I’m the early bird

And I’m the night owl

Who’s next to right now

They might smile but them dirty looks say they quite foul

You never get over ownin’ men that don’t sleep

That close deep for all you wolves wearin' coats by adult sheep

[Verse 2]

Look

I’ve been workin' day and night ‘til the darkness is pierced by a ray of light

Layin' tight verses that leave the surface I ain’t afraid of heights

Was always held high in regard for every card I stacked up to build a house with the yard

And cheated death like repeated breath blown inside of lungs creatin’ oxygen

Hook you up and blew your socks again up out your moccasins I’m

Way tubular, brain on Jupiter so if I

Stoop to your level who’s stupider

On this mic you wish you were Jordan it drive you batty it’s Commissioner Gordon

I won all the smoke as if it came out of switch or in Portland

I bet you felt that in your gut like you twistin’ your sword in your stomach 'til you pulled it out and you missin’ a organ

One day you’ll plot to sabotage me ‘cause you not as paid, draped in the hottest suede, and got a Scottish maid to grab your laundry

I dripped the floor and winter plates was on the suburban in the hood now I’m on a foreign in estates

Once for certain and twice evident

Scared money don’t make none, you’ll die hesitant

Precise measurements what took out the reapin’ the benefits of what I sowed up

‘Cause every line is water turned to wine in the gold cup during the last supper

When this drop’ll make you crash bumpers

Like overpass jumpers who clash uppers with they downers

Whether the founders, locals, or out-of-towners

Y’all in bad shape if y’all square up with us and don’t get from around us

[Chorus]

Up when the birds chirpin'

Rollin' herbs, workin'

On the illest master plan ‘cause I don’t sleep

Up all night when I write that

Snorted white that could’ve shortened hype on the gold peak

I’m the early bird

And I’m the night owl

Who’s next to right now

They might smile but them dirty looks say they quite foul

You never get over ownin’ men that don’t sleep

That close deep for all you wolves wearin' coats by adult sheep

[Outro]

That was gladiator shit

Real UFC shit, emcee shit

They take a muthafuckin real n****

To tell another muthafuckin real n**** to step his game up lyrically for real

Fire shit n****

Who next?

Just Tyson’d that shit

N**** punch him out here right now
