PENSION

[Verse 1]

Flu game feet, all I need's the red leather

Feeling good, but I've been better, trendsetter

If the heart's a muscle, I could bench-press ya, yeah

Many wantin' vendettas, none of them clever, though

I get the same green, just with less feta

That mean I get the same paper, just with less extras

They wan' get down since I came through in a fresh get-up

Oh my, guess my prime is ahead schedule

Realized less pressure don't mean less effort

Confrontin' all the feelings that I let fester

Told Arbus it's HOMECOURT, he said, "Let's get 'em"

And if they dig their own grave, we best let 'em

Flow nuts and preposterous

If they ain't seen Craft, they need fuckin' binoculars

The views got me paid, I'm like a fuckin' optometrist

But do it for the love and all the solace, it's

Been a while since they seen a guy this solid miss

I'm such a rarity these days

Amidst the fog, what's rare is the clarity these days

Dudes soundin' same, lot of parity these days

To the point that it's become a parody, jeez, wait

We ain't mean to get here

Can't be mad when you arrive 'cause look at who we let steer

All these money melodies, the rhythm's even less clear

So when they tellin' me I'm next, really I'm like, "Next where?"

I might not even be in line to buy the dreams they sell and try to project here

Perpetually tryin' make next year my best year

I don't know if I got more confidence or less fear

Either way, it's workin' for me, pension is eventual

[Chorus]

Yeah, said I'm just here for the pension

You get hurt workin' for a cheer or a mention

They out here doin' it for peers or the guest list

Shit gon' be exactly as appears at the exit, yeah

'Cause the end of the night is a cruel mirror, yeah

And I need my pension

Bitch, I need my shit

[Verse 2]

The grooviest of flows, it behoove you to oppose

Any lunacy supposin' be aloof to how he flows

Why would you try to hate?

You one them dudes who overuse the word, "Ideate"

You workin' too hard, kid, relax a bit

You know the name, they all chatter it

The jersey game is so Paterson

If given a choice 'tween the former and the latter

I use the former to climb the ladder with until the former's what the ladder is

How you gon' speak on behalf of this but couldn't be half of this?

How you gon' tell me when I mastered this

When without the money, I made it cool to be passionate?

Your faves try to do what I do, just with a capitalist twist

Their applause might be louder, but it's blood on the hands that they clappin' with, shit

So I'ma just relax and sip this tea and it's jasmine, bitch, yeah

Name ring bells from 11th Ave to Madison

You contradictory but inevitable like pastor sins

They threw me in the concrete and I had to swim

'Net tried to numb me, be checkin' I still have my lens

The beat-breaker

Function, might make it, but of late, frequent flaker

Bourbon sipper, lot of nights, I meet my makers

Their top five in the mirror like, "I need my makeup"

Oh, Lord

When you know more, you gotta say, "No more"

One the best alive, I never been so sure

But fuck a accolade, bro, I'm here for the pension

[Chorus]

Yeah, said I'm just here for the pension

You get hurt workin' for a cheer or a mention

They out here doin' it for peers or the guest list

Shit gon' be exactly as appears at the exit, yeah

Yeah, 'cause the end of the night is a cruel mirror, yeah

And I need my pension

Bitch, I need my shit
