'Nas is like' Freestyle Sway in the Morning

Nas is like freestyle

Lotta cats in Huey shirts

But lack Uncle Ruckus

Started in the city but

They forgot you

Tony Douglas

Dropped gems I never tuck it

Compose a quartet on the strings of the puppets

How I work this hard without rushing

Bitch I want it if you did you’d a done it

My hair look luscious, My soul on crutches

I goes on fuck it, score more with less touches

Anyone who tried to write me off got audited

Dudes scared of they reflection

“what the problem is?”

I tried to sell you tried to tell you

So don’t act like I did it when they cliеntele you

Ya’ll still doing pucker ups to billionairеs

Don’t critique a fighting solider while you sitting there

Yeah, I sling hope and distribute care

Theres expensive and then there’s rare

Pure motive with a hint of fuck you

Coulda chose to be real but you didn’t want to

Do it all myself rarely brag on it

Cause they should know it’s stamped if the name craft on it

Hope my future bright cause my past haunted

But got on the right track and did laps on it

They treat songs like those mid-twenties baldies

They just always throw some cap on it

They ain't ready for the truth

Me im heady in the booth

Deadliest of proof that im forced to see got me sweaty and aloof

Never slept as they good as they do on me

So I can't relate to why they won't accept me in the group

Im good though

You can keep your cool table, im good yo

I don’t need your free meal, I cook bro

Shit, you musta had me mistook

Hold on see I made a living off shedding this pain in my room

Off combatting everything about me they would assume

Off Making opposite they told me they would consume

I've been patient now I'm making a move

Cause I could drop a classic, they would just snooze

So imma drop a classic, make it a few

Just to show ‘em that shit, they couldn’t do

They front for you but I see how mad it's making them oooo

I'm from hell’s kitchen

Make my luck fuck well-wishing

We all got bars my bails different

Mind mine they don’t own their business though

I suppose to lose

Might be the first to win mvp and most improved

They do the most, I just got the most to do, So don’t call me this year man look

I'm in my bag from the moment I'm awake

The secret ain't complicated, it's just not being fake

Some of these guys cool, they just not being great

I'm trying not the judge ‘em but that’s just not me of late

I'm barely inspired to write these shits no more

I got little to prove my shot dribble and moves

I hop, skip, and some moans from knockin the cocoon ?

Ya'll got me in confused the world about to see the wings

But I been on the hall of fame and I don’t need the rings

I played the game my way and didn’t cheat a thing

Shit, I used to crave the respect and cred until I realized its all for self gain and respect is dead

A lone warrior like when dremonds out and its stephens head

That’s a lot to Curry

Shit

So you better keep your dribble keep it civil

Cause these snakes slithering and I don’t speak in riddles

See me and they know me now

I don’t need credentials

From how I make a living speaking wisdom

Leave the crib with headphones and my aura like “I just need essentials”

You can catch a Chancla to the face still if it be an issue though

That’s what I call a missile toe

(Feel me cause like it’s a shoe its like flying through the air)

I say a lot of shit that’s risk to know

The burden of the truth ways heavy I get resentful bro

Rap game Jeff Van Gundy

Disgusted by the league I love

In rare form because I confronted all the me’s I was

And told ‘em it was time to grow into the me I love

I been in rooms you want be in, they don’t love themselves there

A smog of posturing and frontery

Just covers the air

It’s palpable you can feel all of the gluttonous despair

Of dudes who thought they knew what they want but was underprepared

Cats call it like they see it but ain't seeing it at all

So what they say the truth really just be the fall

Gotta crawl fore you walk

Whose really beyond the cross while they can't run away from the silliness of it all

So Getting real tired of telling you who I'm better than

It's Kind of a depressing spin

But if they need a lesson then

I'm not hard to find

On my time got less to spend

So might not respond if it's ain't worth my attention then

This peace of mind shit is something I would recommend

I rather learn from every loss than regret some wins

The truth is we ain't too different I'm just less pretend

So if ya’ll ready to grow then shit let's begin

Thots be working for me

While cats still looking round for a person to be

Personally, words can't be purchased to me

It's gon’ take me bout as long as a surgeons degree to personally see the riches they assume is my intentions

I invested in myself and it was worth it to me

They made you think working for you is working for free

But I'm really past issuing these urgent decrees

You don’t got that fight in you, you can't learn it from me

Shit I'm bruce lee with a kickdrum

?Who he is in sum choose me then regret come? (is this a bruce lee quote or reference I don’t know?)

I've been proving ‘em wrong since I ain't have income

The Mike Conley of rap

Even if they don’t get the facts know I'm gon get my max

If they tackling the issues then I'm Warren Sap

Stop selling me you care it’s a boring act yeah

Commodification nation

You not an artist if moneys your only way to greatness

Living in a land where we turn justice to a product

And friendship to a business deal we must get something out of

Back when dudes rock Nautica with patent leather Prada’s

I was tryna find an image of

Myself that I was proud of

And now that mirror don’t lie and neither do I

Took me a couple decades to see through my own eyes

The living embodiment of ‘if you know you know’

I just show you the light, and if you grow, you grow

Cats gon’ do they dirt and you gon’ reap the seeds you sow

You talk the path, holla at me when you bleed it though

Everybody try to win with the same playbook

But you the only one who really know how your strengths look

Yeah they gave you a bag but look what they took

You know they ain't no such thing as half way crooks
