Provoked

I recall smithing my lyrics onto the beat
I'm appalled with the rhythm I'd givin' up to the beat
Our progress immense and not just our pens
Now, I'm talkin', how we unlocked our potential
Makin' records that I never once dreamt
Wishin' every wish since I made no sense
Take it from a third year, take it from a pro
Both are gonna tell you how it's really gonna go
Cusa from the past would be knocked on his ass
I became everything that he wanted and flew past
All my expectations, I'm the next replacement
Of these whack ass, half ass internet sensations
Get a grip

I'm takin' my time, I'm makin' my way
(Get to takin' my place)
I'm takin' my time, I'll make it today
(Get to makin' a change)
I give it my thought, every word I can throw
(I keep it my own) (Yeah)
Don't get in my way, don't try to provoke (Uh, yeah)
(Take you on all alone)

Remember when my flow was amateur?
Couldn't switch it up, picture us
Me and Cusa on some different stuff
We would do some simple sentence structure
The game was brand new to us, sure
"Yeah"s in the crowd, our image goin' upward
Name started standin' out, word
From the UK all the way to Philipsburg
The villains purge the illest verse, out their
Tilting 'thirst, for you to say their willin' words
Our vill is versed, and appealin' your
Mind (You can make a song, but can you take the)
Time? (Make it somethin' catchy or you fuckin' pay the)
Fine (After I get through with you, you'll be askin')
Why (If you wanna make it, partake in this game)
Partake in the fame it won't leave you
Whatever you say may defeat you
Drag you back down where you came from
Body bags stacked, kill away, son

I'm takin' my time, I'm makin' my way
(Get to takin' my place)
I'm takin' my time, I'll make it today
(Get to makin' a change)
I give it my thought, every word I can throw
(I keep it my own)
Don't get in my way, don't try to provoke
(Take you on all alone)

Signing for the label, tryna get us to the top
'Til I'm writhing on the operating table and I stop
Or I'm goin' fuckin' deaf and I'm signing my resign
But just knowin' I'm the best of the kind who make a rhyme
We a dying breed, don't rely on me
I got a couple other rappers I would die to see
But 'til I get some form of cancer and get my make a wish
I won't ever get the answers and take a break from this
I won't hit the bottom, I won't ever sink
But I got a lot of problems that I kinda overthink
Catch me on a good day, you can walk away
But if you see me starin', you can start to fuckin' pray
Just a hunter, catchin' dinner and lunch
Since 2020, '21—I wasn't in it for much
No, I'm givin' a show, you would kill to believe
I'm not getting any better, I'm not half of my peak yet

I'm takin' my time, I'm makin' my way
(Get to takin' my place)
I'm takin' my time, I'll make it today
(Get to makin' a change)
I give it my thought, every word I can throw
(I keep it my own)
Don't get in my way, don't try to provoke
(Take you on all alone)
