lyrics

I stay above the fray
And float above little things
That you think are the biggest
I take another way
And go above
I'ma start where you think that you're finished
I wait another day
And I just watch
As you burn all your village's bridges
Then I take another way
And go around
While you're sure I'm just mindin my business

I'm huntin prey and leavin nothin to scavenge
I'll clean your plate
And leave you wonderin what happened
Pick your bones clean and leave
You'll think I'm a savage
This ain't no thing to me
It's survival tactics
Someone explain to me
The things you're concerned with
Cos this ain't a game to me
It's things you'll get burned with
I get yall afraid
Cos you don't think that I've earned this
But get yall acquainted
It's the things you gon learn quick
While you just eat each other alive

I started everything
Was playin shows
Before most of yall ever bought music
Man me and Blake were kings
And wore the crown
Before there was even reason to do it
Those clubs you play at now
You wouldn't be there
If we ain't convince them to let you
So say thank you
Say that now
And kiss the ring of the one
Who just made you and left you

You're all my children
And I will be respected
I'll play the villain
Just so you get the message
I'll hurt your feelings
If you still need a lesson
Cos my floor's your ceiling
If you need come and test this
I don't know what happened
To the scene we created
I'm so done with rappin
This is peace you can take it
I'll give up the passion
And just leave all this wasted
And sit up here laughin
While I peep my replacements
Just beef and eat each other alive
