You'll Never Take Me Alive 02:25

You’ll Never Take Me Alive and where I’m at is on another level so high up the locals never heard of devils they say my songs are the chants of the rebels and that one day the voice of many make the one tremble so many souls die without a legacy let alone me who wants to die being legendary i will take it to the levy watch it break the water bury carry out survivors and rivers run with capillaries I’m looking to do more than create a first impression truthfully this music is therapy for my depression from all the loss all the hardships we be facing get it out with one mic and a tape in the basement if its hate you’re emancipating be aware of your complacence I’ve seen karma too much to know it aint my imagination im chasing my dream you can achieve yours I’m cool with my girl you can keep your whores Hors d’oeuvres for the amateurs i be on a diet get some rest in the morning we gonna grind or die trying My Mission aint classified to gain access where i was denied forget pride this is a ride or die state of mind i do it for trayvon’s life and if not yeezus then i’ll fight i aint about biting no tyson, something aint mentally right as if the lights went out, now I’m just chillin' under halogens they got lights in the air, more outside? well then send ‘em in so everybody know who we are talking bout 1 win time is right and so is this atmosphere so lets begin I’m lyrically painting pictures with a sick sense of persistence its in the details where the devil dictates his business so it’s crucial that you’re here, in dress code to bare the witness the sight of the blind man begging for forgiveness that feeling cringes inside us like a stomach filled with leeches and death coming for all us so fuck ya’ll riches im in battle swinging while ripping open my stitches you can burned or buried down 72 inches no no no no, no no no no, no no no no, no no no no... No, you aint taking me nigga nah you’ll never take me alive x2 No, you aint taking me, or imma kill you first you’ll never take me alive x2

Camouflage what do you say when the earth gets further and further away… what do you say when the earth gets further and further away… no such thing as hibernation for a beast like me got miles of forest to scout before i sleep my search engine will cease when i’ve cleansed the land of meat specifically the taste that once tried defying me taxidermy experts hire extra interns to classify exactly which family of vertebrae i coincide like coats of pride buttoned up tight such is my hide it’ll take more than your life to try to excavate mine Ursa Major, Slave to a powerful love’s labor turned for creating anger when she only offered favors thats where i detour - see I’m the anger but with focus i got more goals than most except most would never notice i’ll politely decline when you tell me my life was chosen i been down roads that offered closure to eyes wide open thats me hoping, you aint gotta bring action to this cuz boy i take you out quick like you didn’t exist what can i say i like wearing camouflage (it keeps me warm at night) x4 leanest black bear you ever seen so don’t fuck with me i got the right intentions and the guidance high above me channelling that energy from the elite who got love for me to use it to annihilate those with a red cross on me I’m no pawn homie, i did my homework too now all i see is failed business plan in you im a straight investment with returns that gone see me through the next storm while you pretend them shits is De Ja Vu the story so sad, Dave Ramsey said don’t feel bad them fuckers got themselves there and I don’t need that the steps taken by greats to make millions is just facts so I’m reading stats back to back while doubling up my stacks hard to picture that: Baloo wit more swagger doe still i look dope scruffy in a tailored suit yo of course its all mythical all this shit is visual that don’t mean shit so don't under estimate my physical what can i say i like wearing camouflage (it keeps me warm at night) x4 break down and build up to break down again everything comes back around in the end x4 where was i a year ago, time flies hoping ya’ll can hear me trying combine heart and eyes led and paper make it final, music then applies the adhesive that we needed to get this floatin' in the sky oh my dreams died years ago, but i found a resurrection spell practiced till i had it but the actual didn’t go well demons crawled inside my dreams and told me if i don’t raise hell they’d eat what was left of a dream from the inner shell i didn’t know what to do, i went along with it and that devil brought me right to you told me if you follow me he won’t make you choose which one of us can walk away and who got more to lose how heavy is your heart now? oh he gone hear that heart beat without a doubt meditate and focus constantly to slow it down if we defy demons with silence, we can hear them howl break down and build up to break down again everything comes back around in the end x4
