Metaphors

[Verse 1: Student 1]

My moniker is a mask

Tummy is queasy, stupid is easy, smart is a task

A task is work to be done, sir Afework is the one

The one is king of the matrix, my legacy is begun

Be gone is what I tell you, only question is when

If all the drama is for women, beef is drama for men

Man is dummy and woman is crazy and both play kind

A cigarette's a fashion statement that'll battle your mind

The key to know is intel

State of my life is been well

The key to being heard is losing nerves to boot up and yell

My reply to getting props is "I see you can tell"

My reply to a label deal is "I'll see you in hell"

I swear a label is a scam and to rob me is not nice

And work is nonexistent when your hobby is a vice

Everyone is caught up

Freedom is unexercised

Money is a freedom unit

Life is generalized

And this fucking list is endless

Endless is my overthinking

Thinking is walking around, so don't get robbed or confused

Acid is lucy is a cigarette is cancer tar

Slang is fun, fun is lit, ugly's weird, xan's a bar

Is is is double triple sorry I don't know

That line is no gibberish

Gibberish is no to sense

Common sense is relative

Hating is relating

This is probably so confusing

Is deterrent no debating

[Chorus: Student 1]

On and on and on and on

The list goes on and on and on and on

'Cause referencing is an excuse

An excuse is a scapegoat

A scapegoat's a shield your mistake is excused

On and on and on and on

The list goes on and on and on and on

I couldn't help but get to thinking that everything is like everything

Everything is everything your model is abused

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]

Black is white

Truth is lies

Old is young

We age to euthanize

Burn the sage

We aim to neutralize

Turn the page

And I'm claiming Bruce Lee

I'm tryna be like the water they came to brutalize

Who supervise those that do the supervising?

Especially in television can't be utilized

They gon' publicize lullabies

And then that ill-advising otherwise

Occupies any of the other guys that was gonna ride with you

Drop lines like fly fishing

Know I'm fishing

No, we cannot build cause you fuck with my vision

If I don't fuck with yours all I see is time missing

Twelve hours ahead and it's not the time difference

I'm different

And it's so much more than my pigment

The real is probably closer to what they tell you it isn't

Shout to GLC, I took a look at the ism

Niggas been in light like a prism

Trying not to live life in a prison of routine

Stretching every dollar no stretched limousines

Deeper than the surface had to do the submarine

Quarantine

Couldn't deal with all the fake, had to separate

Watch the hate intake tryna elevate

Drop weight 'til I'm featherweight

[Chorus: Student 1]

On and on and on and on

The list goes on and on and on and on

'Cause referencing is an excuse

An excuse is a scapegoat

A scapegoat's a shield your mistake is excused

On and on and on and on

The list goes on and on and on and on

I couldn't help but get to thinking that everything is like everything

Everything is everything your model is abused
