Alchemy

[Intro]

It's like turning nothing into everything

Starting with scraps and redefining what society thinks is quality

Like who thought up the golden standard, the haves?

The have nots ask not what you can do for them but what have you done?

When you're sick and you're tired and you're hungry and you're thirsty

And you take that first bite or drink, you sip slow

Because truth is harsh and it burns, but it's also addictive

You want more 'til you...

(Drink, more, water)

[Verse]

Flooded the market, murdering flows it's blood on the carpet

A crime scene, gave 'em the light

Wait 'till I turn on the high beams

Niggas ain't seeing me

Drunk off this water you might just see three of me

Don't greet me as God, my nigga I ain't no deity

Take off them water wings, I'm losing water weight, I been on creatine

Curing my countenance, creating this gold from the lead in my pencil

I think I'm a alchemist, and it's gon take courage no cowardly dogs

In the pound, we don't want 'em round

No love lost or found, don't give a fuck bout a clown

Bit 'em with the Pros conversation profound

I was down on my luck but I'm still myself

Drinking all this water tryna heal myself

Know I keep it real even steal homie

Just want you to feel It I  don't really ever feel myself

Remember when I had to find a meal myself

Fresh out of jail, crashed at my nigga Slims

He ain't think twice bout the shit

The move was a roll of the dice

Know the lord on my side cause them 63rd nights was a bitch

Always knew that life wasn't this though

Still had to get right with the wrist wrote this though

With a little light and a pistol

Lowkey, peep how he keep the peace, you know me

[Outro]

They say I be talking bout water too much

You hear that? Ha ha

That's how many fucks I could give

Still I got love for a hater, would give up a rib

They say they confused about ginger ale

Well come have a sip when it's chill

Y'all need to chill

People tell me I'm that nigga now

I know none of that shit is real
