Bars On I-95 Freestyle

Yeah

Ooh

We here man

We'll let it breathe for a second

Hell's Kitchen

Bars On I-95 look

We back outside finally

Yeah

Uh

I represent the real like a film agent

Real blatant dudes talking 'bout they bank but those ain't real statements

Dude's talking 'bout they bank but that ain't Tim Duncan

Say they'll pop a Vic'

I got a itch they for real faking

I just be me and stay real patient

These kids only sick on the Nets

Word to Jayson when he's losing to Shaquille at his best

These days I ain't even feeling the stress

If they the ones making assessments I don't even need to hear I'm the best

If you got a head on your shoulders then it's clear that I'm next

But I just wanna make my art and let the pain bleed

It's dark and hell is hot and there's a faint breeze and I'm that - the legacy of legends

See them? They got it backwards

They just in their exes DM

Some addictions destroy the world

Somes destroy themselves

Is your pain a symptom or a system within itself? (right)

Self-inflicted wounds trying to chase this validation

Half these dude's 'grams is just public masturbation

Greatest aspirations? To make the wealthy wealthier

They give you couple dollars and their ownership get healthier

So I'm done appeasing, no more need to be gentle

I ain't arguing with noone whose career is a rental (right)

They give their heart for a follow

I just follow my heart

Sad thing is they be sad at the top of the charts

Lotta cats sell their hopes and dreams just pedalling dopamine

Like: "This could be you too!"

Man, this for you

Admit you flexing chasing notifications

Sell me the same shallow and call this shit inspiration

I'm the embodiment of what you know but you scared to say

Hate the messenger if you want but I ain't going away

Grow with me

'Cause my old highs are my lows today

Used to wish they'd notice me

Now they see me and know it's me

Shit

So I'm trying to find composure quick

When I do it's monk like I'm Craftalonius

They on that bread and baloney shit

Bullshit sandwiches

They wanna be scandalous but don't know what the scandal is (right)

They see the God and act irrational

They evangelists (mmm)

I been dope they just now accepting me

I'm cannabis

"Wasn't a fan of his, now everybody's heard but me!"

The joke's on you like them two dots in Germany

We live in a time when something's gotta be more

Where everyone who post a meme is Assata Shakur

Where we live on explore pages but don't gotta explore

And everything they got in store they done got in a store

Enjoy your one all-star season 'cause I'm Dame in the fourth (hoo)

The road to legend ain't cheap and you can't pay with remorse

Tell me who your favorite rapper?

Pick the name of a corpse

I slay them for sport but I always throw them back in the ocean

Got a soft spot

I don't play 'em as cordial

I'm a good guy

Only tell good lies like:

"It's okay that we so toxic" or "that was a good try"

My expectation is like a foot high you can't let me down

And almost everything bad in this world come from greedy men

So I can't cook with you you don't bring the right ingredients (mmm)

If you ain't living right I wanna see you change not see you win

'Cause that win's a loss

See it then?

You all janitors of oppression, ensure maintenance of the system

While you market them rebellion you can't play me I got vision

Corporate orchestrated campaigns sold as dangerous decisions

Kids buy and make real ones end in graves or into prison

I just call it like I see it and I see it well

Devil's in the details

You the type to tell the D your tales

If they wanna be thirsty it's hard to leave the well

Before I work for 'em I'd rather be Chappelle

Shit

'Cause I'm borderline uninspired

At this point my effort's sorta like unrequired (right)

Their mouths sprint and I ain't trying to outrun a liar

That's a fool's errand like y'all trips to the jewelry store (whoo)

Misinformation still rule the public sphere

Monday I want revolution

Friday I just want a beer

Got advice?  Talk to me in a couple years

I don't know where I'll be then

I'm just trying to get you to go away like "stop talking to me" (hahaha)

I sit awkwardly

I quit coffee b 'cause caffeine make me shit oftenly

And leave me tense and askew

Then they mention these dudes who only get shine off a necklace's hue

And stay talking about erection shits - ew

It's like - we get it - you got famous so you finally got some pussy

What blessing for you, congratulations

I'm out of patience though my practice is closed

'Cause that's all they ever word to a cat with this prose

I really live this marathon shit and trust me

I could meddle if I want to sprint

So when they like; "Craft, ain't you mad someone sold you this and that?"

I be like: "Nah.  Not even one bit.  I'm an artist.  Not a human production line.  When I die donate my heart to science.  My shit like the Grinch after Cindy Lou showed love.  Y'all rather get a billion likes and get no love."

Shit I been telling them for years that I'm a different breed

And when I think about it can't be mad if they didn't believe

To recognize a GOAT before the herd is a skill

They was quick to judge but never heard the appeal

Dudes put off the work while I put on for the culture

When nobody else want to fly a hawk look like a vulture (facts)

I won't apologize for doing it right

Fuck what I do to the mics

Remember me for what I do to mines

Cats know that I'm the truth it just bothers them

Cats know I got the proof I don't audit them

Cats know that if it really was a problem that got settled with raps - fuck spitting - I cough on them

Wifey laying next to me, I feed off her energy

She grab me up and tell me breathe when I let you all get to me

I came home late and she still got the D laid

"I could wait for greatness" is what she said

I be venting telling her 'bout how they try to give me dudes that I prepaid

She said "here's the deal babe:  You 'bout here, and you gonna get here and they couldn't stop you if they tried.  Like, let's just keep it real, 'kay?"

(We - we don't call each other babe, that just fit the rhyme scheme

Know what I'm saying?  Like sometimes writers take liberties?)

2021 they still trying to take liberties

So take the cops funding and get rid these prisons b

Struggled with this health

Never coddled me mentally

Held this shit down while it was morally bankrupt and y'all owe me penalties

Take it how you want I ain't here to play referee

I'm here to make memories

Shit

'Cause if I ain't careful I'mma do that shit for everyone except for me

Yeah

While I worry if they accepting me

Fuck that, I'd rather die a rebel b

Yeah
