Rebel 02:36
Mean mug / Heat lung We so / beast son Each one reach one To sink our teeth on Beats on / beat some Ass if I got to (gotta) Wish y’all would Need a reason but I want to (wanna) Flash fangs - Ain’t even peckish Flash bang - Bust in so reckless I don’t even *KNOW* - How they / get this False image when I’m steadfast relentless Fuck a soldier Fuck an army Ain’t nobody Bout to harm me Cause I’m revved up like a Harley Getting ridden By an asshole Just want what’s mine in my little bit of time Got enough resources Oughtta all be fine Sign on the line Now walk that walk that Better watch how you Talk that talk that We listenin Grill? glistenin Say we gotta chill You oughtta guess again Who wanna get it in Drink til you’re seein twins Fuck the spins I was down in it I been out with These flashy outfits Got hooks serve looks Plus I’m thick And I got that Good girl dick Had a fraud complex Got that kicked I’m from the south For a clean grill they’ll do ya dirty I ain’t snitching on myself But I’m still pretty at thirty I ain’t running I got that drawl Middle fingers high like fuck em all Where ya gonna be when you get that call I’m in steel toes by Nazis Finna brawl This is how real rebels yell A real rebel yell I am not the type to come For your neck or kick your door downs Even though I still live check to check I just get em more now I’m a GOD Damn trash glam icon Came up punk Always had eyes on White belts I felt like fuck em White n rich I shoulda oughtta stuck em But that was way back Mama dropping me off - Now bangers pop off Like I been good with the sawed off Since when you still couldn’t get bras off fuck up gender for your lover Queer agenda claims another Yeah you might be younger ain’t nobody bucker This is how real rebels yell A real rebel yell People tell me I should go in like this Like I’m flicking the wrist Too legitted to quit But Future, Migos, and these kids Got that handled So I’m bout to break down this door Like a vandal Whoo Live like this you can’t wear sandals Whoo Ready to run dodging ammo Whoo Ready the vigil and candles I’m living as protest To die like animal Whoo This is how real rebels yell A real rebel yell

Entropy 02:05
Feel the water Fill the lung Dripping Acid tongue Feel the water Fill the lung Dripping Acid tongue Tripping Fly like a big ass jet Money like a big ass check I don’t believe in straight Just people ain’t met me yet Want what I want Walk what I talk Keep kicking it steel toe Everything about me like a paradox Looking hella cute In my gay ass socks - Still so punk with the rock Stay about the ethos Fashion or not Still tryna hang Better fashion a knot Twanky six brought the beat With the knock Cuts like this You can’t clot Heparin / Get it in Bleed it out / Blood let I’m out of category Whole new / Subject Literary Get down on my subtext I can even break it down Into subsets Get it got it good Off in to the sunset Feel the water Fill the lung Dripping Acid tongue Hold up. Wait. I took a bunch of shrooms I’m in your living room I’m taking off my shoes Will you be home soon? I’m in the mood for cartoons How can I get Netflix On your PS two I make no excuse For the shit I do

Everything’s gone to shit But it’s cool tho 26 got me Working on a new flow I told him That I felt like it was too slow But everybody told me nah It’s just right End stage renal Veins pump evil I’m dying But still ain’t gotta get all emo We know we know We know we know Thanks for the platitudes Sorry they’re all see thru Oh your dear I’m only how old? You got a baby like me In your household I guess you could hold em Extra close I’m really just waiting for you to Get your mouth closed How bout those? The intro the outro The influx the outflow Buildup to back flow - Let it wash over Punch drunk still When I’m five months sober I miss the Occasional whiskey soda But not as much as having My kidneys in working order And having red blood cells Hitting quotas So what’s a life crisis When you’re six past a quarter Everything’s gone to shit But it’s cool tho 26 got me Working on a new flow I told him That I felt like it was too slow But everybody told me nah It’s just right

Push 03:30
Larger than lifeless I’m a whole life crisis Midus to your vitals Black lives priceless Five finger death punch Counterpart vice grip My vice is vying for violence Left to my own devices Nothing bartered nothing sold With the favor of the bold Built a fortress outta straw Built a fortune on my jaw My claimed space An embarrassment of riches If it’s going down I’m deep I dig ditches In the trenches / aimed at Nazis I’m Charles de Gaulle Black panther Grab this pussy and get the claws No cream or stacking pies I’m just fucking raw When I count my flaws I disregard breaking the law Bad women In balaclavas Rad venom In my saliva Packed shows With no survivors Havoc promethean Give you fire inside ya No gas in the tank Push No cash in the bank Push Dead last until my last gasp But I dash trying to make for that one last Push Can’t take me no place Ego mighty healthy like I’m Ghostface Hella gay but I’m so straight Looking for the chill. Find no trace. No serotonin but I’m dripping in dopamine So I don’t care about nothing But what the future brings Count my success like they’re gone And don’t mean a thing Drooling over possibilities Like I’m a fucking fiend No gas in the tank Push No cash in the bank Push Dead last until my last gasp But I dash trying to make for that one last Push Call my shots Off the top Off the rip Got the grip Catch em Kill em Cut em gut em Up to something I don’t trust him Fuck him and everything That he stands for Nothing in between us but this Glass house with tinted doors I been dunking on motherfuckers No alley oop They been ducking me cause my Verses make your body droop If they see me in the streets Then I bet they prolly shoot Not even run my pockets It ain’t bout the loot No gas in the tank Push No cash in the bank Push Dead last until my last gasp But I dash trying to make for that one last Push

Death Stroke 02:08
Hometown hero Ain’t nobody love me till I left tho Goon face weirdo If looks could kill this would be your Deathstroke Shit Nobody was checking for me Had to force free albums To my besties But now who wanna come Test these testes Good girl dick got me Undressing these westies All up on that left coast High and tight Like hairlines and best bros Keep the metaphor going They all faded Well acquainted with doom Ill fated In the H With Tony and Ill Faded Landed in LA Tell Hev and D I made it Ain’t you sick of people Asking what your name is Get with Bizzy, kid I could make you famous Squad looking goonie as the Lap Dance video Get your whole crew. They can roll thru We chilling at the corner house Everybody come thru Whole gang bout to whip whip On these fixies Spouting that militant black Like the sixties No sweat We can do it with it ease No normans We don’t do it for these Slip said I was going to fast Told me to freeze They been asking me to throttle it back Like Biz Please But I don’t listen too much - My foot knows two homes Your throat or the clutch And I ain’t easin up Cause I ain’t seen reason enough Y’all don’t impress me Or deserve my best me So why am I investing this track I guess that’s just me Squad looking goonie as the Lap Dance video Get your whole crew. They can roll thru We chilling at the corner house Everybody come thru

No Roof 04:31
Bad brain Bad blood Tanks on full (Full of that push Full of that the love) Death from above Dodge Button mash Trash Fuck outta here Landing gear Up Off Broken whatever I’m up way past the weather Trying to be entirely higher than another plain Ordinary scares me Cause we’re all socialized monsters And I don’t wanna hear em say It was a different time Stepping in line Stepping on coals Don’t feel the fire When the heart so cold On them roads In them streets Got em all saying I’m on a different beat Cause I won’t cheat To see the top of things My whole team need a different Type of rings That’s all knuckle That’s all brass Best case just punk Pain in the ass Break in the glass Crushing them ceilings Ain’t no feelings like No roof ain’t no feelings like no roof No roof Ain’t no feelings like no roof No roof Ain’t no feelings like no roof No roof And I feel like ain’t no roof No roof No roof No roof Don’t talk to me about stress I been dead Y’all ain’t ready yet Don’t talk to me about death I been dead I ain’t ready yet I came to pay my respects I can’t find none tho Guess I’ll just jet I ain’t afraid of your people Better keep running You running up It ain’t enough It ain’t enough It ain’t enough There ain’t no roof Hand on my heart No hand to god Cause I don’t believe That supersedes Never gonna need More than what I bleed Never gonna be More than what I see Hand on my heart No hand to god Cause I don’t believe That supersedes Never gonna need More than I bleed Never gonna be More than I see But my sights are set so high Swear on everything it feels like ain’t no roof My sights are set so high there ain’t no roof My sights are set so high There ain’t no roof I swear on everything Feels like ain’t no roof Hand on my heart No hand to god Cause I don’t believe So that supersedes Never gonna need More than what I bleed Never gonna be More than what I see Hand on my heart No hand to god Cause I don’t believe So that supersedes Never gonna need More than what I bleed Never gonna be More than what I see But my sights are set so high I swear on everything it feels like ain’t no roof My sights are set so high there ain’t no roof My sights are set so high There ain’t no roof I swear on everything Feels like ain’t no roof

Mood Ring 02:42
I feel kinda blue Certainly more violet than violent Would it be gauche to say “indigo”? I feel kinda blue A bit more violet than violent Just a bit indigo Crucify me If you must Either way I’ve come back To satisfy the blood lust Crimson lipped and beautiful Follow veins to brain as I Think of what to do to you Relegate a renegade To reticence Pinched and took an inch He been quiet ever since He don’t wanna see me Take a mile I’ll spit thru a smile With the wild style bile Flick at your face So flippantly Get at a goonie So viscerally Don’t know why dudes Messing with me You don’t Really want me to leave Breathe in That good breeze Sleep on If you please I feel kinda blue More violet than violent Just a bit indigo Can’t believe I let you Creep in to my brain a second That’s a mistake I won’t be making again I reckon I wreck em. I deck em I go out and high step em Born to be a veteran Texan to the exin’ Of the eyes And the ones that had The supple thighs Sturdy as a mother fucker Hurt me like a mother fucker I’m good I just had a wistful moment Think it and I’m speaking on it Dunking on em like a donut I don’t know how to shut fuck up And that’s just... Truth So I tell it and I Shame the devil or whatever See ya switching Imma pull the lever And your card You a lie you a fraud But enough about you I do go on Off in to the set Beautiful story But I ain’t done yet Up to snuff I call your bluff I’m pretty as a Power Puff Albuterol I power puff Mushrooms and I Power up Take no bumps That’s not my stuff Fentanyl will Fuck you up Sad for all you Skinny pups Runneth over From my cup Getting buck I swear to fuck That I can’t Wait around for luck See you homies Getting stuck I knock it down With knuckle pucks Bash brothers I knuckle up If you riding Buckle up Twenty six That’s my bruh We about to get it Duh

Trip 04:09
My obsession teaching lessons In these little sessions Your whole world could change In a split second They think they vexing Putting pressure in my chest and Yeah they been pressin But they ain’t really did nethin I’m suggesting that you quit it With the testing My progression so intensive That I’m something like a lethal weapon So I don’t need no weapon When these haters get to plexin I been running double time They been on that half stepping Do they even have an engine? Pedal got my pistons revving I ain’t getting in to heaven I been doing all the seven Greed sloth and gluttony been fattening My middle section Lust and envy heavy so they steady Ruin my attention Pride refusing any help To quell my convalescence Wrath gonna have me Waking up as a living legend Impressive use of my aggression Fight until my vision ending Receiver dead to what you sending Lethal with my interjections Fly over hills that flow I know that there’s more to show Why can’t I let this go Infinity’s spinning me slow You just got your feet up I been floating for years You been grinding your gears I been changing my peers I’m not what it appears I’m the worst of your fears Pandora couldn’t box me in I’m for more than the queers I’m for the revolution I’m an entire movement I’m not killing em off I’m just the evolution Out of ability to stomach Civility masculinity Whiteness as a concept And your indignities Fly over hills that flow I know that there’s more to show Why can’t I let this go Infinity’s spinning me slow I been taking psilocybin for vibin With all of these normans Who couldn’t get on my level They’d suffocate and I’d let em They’d suffocate and I’d let em I been taking psilocybin for vibin With all of these normans Who couldn’t get on my level They’d suffocate and I’d let em They’d suffocate and I’d let em Fly over hills that flow I know that there’s more to show Why can’t I let this go Infinity’s spinning me slow
