Written In The Drums

[Verse 1]

Ok, written like I'm Nasir, predicting in 5 years

Y'all will understand what I been kicking on the contrare

Contrary to the popular and what they all share

I'll be sitting where I'm high enough to hit Lamont's ear

Product of ebonics but that AP, made me

Balance out the cameras when I handle where the great be

Handling what I handle when I'm handing you that hd

Homicide driven but we tripping where the cake be

Out of line penning they was trying to find vision

I was filling in the blanks that was provided by they ignorance

And I be just as ignorant, according to the grind

Paper my agenda, and the flow is to coincide

Call me proud to be a testament, prolly he who repping it

Made him understand it through a crowded sea of negligence

Swam against the current, get from round me if you question it

We be in it till it's nothing left in this

[Hook]

See it's already written in the drums

So I ain't got to talk to it

But if I should decide to, I'm the one to honor it

If I should decide to, I'm the one they own it with

But you know they be on it till I'm gone

See it's already written in the drums

So I ain't got to talk to it

But if I should decide to, I'm the one to honor it with

If I should decide to, I'm the one they own it

But you know they be on it till I'm gone

[Verse 2]

See it's already written like I'm Christopher, corner store literature

In the most literal, you don't gotta picture us

Know it off the open, you ain't got to front and center us

Motherfuckers doubt until they viewing what attention does

When you was watching me on 106 like how you get up there

I was on a 20 minute call with a billionaire

Boomeranging ideas on how to get my million here

Told me get rich or die trying before you're finished here

Got it 50, glued to every word that he would serve

And in return I make him turns like if he said what better product is

And I'm just trying body this

Should money bring me loneliness, I'll be here alone counting out like yeah the lonely wins

Maybe you ain't know me then, and probably never will

I'm from where everything that matters is a dollar and a pill

So if bottling emotion is a battle for the kill

It's either that or go and bottle up your ills

[Hook]

See it's already written in the drums

So I ain't got to talk to it

But if I should decide to, I'm the one to honor it

If I should decide to, I'm the one they own it with

But you know they be on it till I'm gone

See it's already written in the drums

So I ain't got to talk to it

But if I should decide to, I'm the one to honor it with

If I should decide to, I'm the one they own it

But you know they be on it till I'm gone

[Verse 3]

See it's already written in the flow a little different this time

But the wizardry that lyrically assembled this line it's like

If I'm selling phones like you could get these on the go

In a weather 20 low and they ain't scheduled till July

And if you figured out that line and you resemble what resides

Within the souls of these foams, the worries and the strive

The upscale vandal, the worries put behind

I write on mahala and serve it through L'Chaim's

[Hook]

See it's already written in the drums

So I ain't got to talk to it

But if I should decide to, I'm the one to honor it

If I should decide to, I'm the one they own it with

But you know they be on it till I'm gone

See it's already written in the drums

So I ain't got to talk to it

But if I should decide to, I'm the one to honor it with

If I should decide to, I'm the one they own it

But you know they be on it till I'm gone
