[Trackademicks] Yeah, people always seem to question me, asking me irrationally Did I chose my destiny? Will money be my apogee? End all, be all, nah that's a seesaw Even when you balling, you can always hit the bottom Every single morning's like a practice on how to get up So I don't get my ass kicked, I'm doing mostly sit-ups Supporters bout to tag this like writers doing hit-ups With that "it" factor, now they all tryna get us Or get with us like a bad chick with a body Always acting kinda naughty like she handing out punani And she ain't gagging like a lolly? I must be popping if that's how bad you want me Cause just a minute ago I had original flows And exceptionally slap with professional tact To keep the fresh on the map, but they weren't messing with that But now they are, cause this emcee's a lesson in that
[Hook: Trackademicks] They always ask you, dude how you feel? You look like you just found a two dollar bill Is that right? Well who got the skrill'? It couldn't be me, I'm just a fool on the hill And the world keeps spinning round Nothing y'all say could ever get me down And the world keeps spinning round For those who didn't feel me, bet you feel me now
[Phonte] Yeah, uh, yellow like caution, pause as your boy paint a portrait Of the artist as a young man starving Young man learning with so many turns and twists In his flow that you might get carsick Might be awarded for beefing But you don't wanna beef ho nigga, eat a parsnip Might see niggas act bitch but then they wanna switch And hitch they little red wagon to your starship Please Mister Coleman, Phontigga beg your pardon Don't mean to gloat, but I would love to float Up on your love boat to get away from my hardship Now I see why niggas be on that rockstar shit Because the game will make you paranoid And all your friends and your foes say it come with the territory They wanna watch you die slow like Miss Evans voice So when I do my own thing, I know I'm better for it, uh

[Trackademicks] I told her I'mma need some space now She told me look up at the night sky, you won't find it face down I can see she on the chase now Don't she know no one's gonna take her place now? She told me don't forget the little people grinding Open your eyelids, where I live my time spent with giants Mind states supersized, mine is the small fry's Why underestimate the impact you had on mine? I'm rolling with bosses who know what the cost is Know what the work is, know how to bargain Know how to work this Know when to pause at the politics and nonsense that curse this So when you catch me in traffic I'm passing The gridlocking, shit-talking road rage for open lanes And don't try to slow me down Cause when they hold me down, that's when I float away
