FAST BREAK

Man I been tryna break out but now all that I need is a fast break
Man all of this tension can get released soon as ya beats make the ground shake
Uh, call and response (call and response)
Making it rock, uhhhhhhh
Ink made a blot (ink made a blot)
My flow break the clot

Plot in the game, write my name
If you down with the same
Piece of mind I explain
This is work with no gain
Feel the glass in this pain
Blood and sweat with no stain
Words and shots how I train
Showing off is disdainful
I do this for my spirit
Doesn’t matter if you hear it
Checkin on samples, don’t clear it
Make a ruckus with your vision til they fear it
Couldn’t care less bout my appearance
You can find my wardrobe in the clearance
Rack, bounce back, make ‘em crack
Bones and marrow
Flow with the rock be like bow and arrow
Straight and narrow
Stank face on y’all look like Rob De Niro
I’m a weirdo
But I ain’t rappin on tracks like Ben Shapiro
Idiot
Seriously thought he was kidding
But no fippin

HALF COURT

Wake me up when the doorbell rings
Only say it cause I sleep on those who don’t follow up on things
I mourn the regret that talent brings
I say my summer was hot enough to make the kettle sing
No kings when you checking anybody standing on the wings
She my queen? Ding ding ding, that’s a win for the misguided
Was violent as a kid, but now I fight to raise the eyelids
Wake up, there’s people dying in Thailand
I wonder if you even know what a crime is
I’m civil if I know what the time is
Calling Wooten over Primus
What did I pay for feelings? Seems priceless
Didn’t ask to be decisive, just asked to stop crying
At night awake, every light blinding
Weekends disjointed as hell
But I still keep to the two step
All hold on the rouse
Tripping off on the new shit
Y’all think it’s true
That’s a noose though
No deal, please; think of Pluto
When you feel abandoned
Just know there’s endless space to move slow
Keep your head down cause the groove low
Never got by on looks alone, shouts to Trudeau

Don’t play the heat if you can’t take it
Got MJ handles, they leaning like the Matrix
Man, these rappers bandwagon like the Lakers
LeBron pulling strings on fools like he Mayer
Miss me with that Insta
I’m gonna end careers then I’ll never mention ya
Got no dirt on me, it’s just staining ya
Got no lines, so I must be painting ya
All these people think my music alien
Yo, you just mad my music Mastiff when you Pomeranian
Missed the dunk, man, you shoulda laid it in
Missed the outline, so Imma shade it in
Never miss the beat like Kaiser Chiefs
Kansas City would be proud
I’m tryin to vibe but the deaf keep complaining that I play my music loud
Blast this shit til they come full circle
I’m on a run, make y’all jump like you running hurdles
Vibe is so myrtle, convo is internal
Steady working
On my convertible cause the roof got ripped off in a car chase
I guess that’s what happen when you constantly living out the visions in your head space
I gotta keep it face to face
I would never tell my pace to haste
Copy my moves over again like Imma bout to paste it
Adjacent from others, word to all my brothers down south
Lifting wheels soon, y’all goin see what I’m all about
Sick of all these people blocking my shine
Spine strong, straight stance when I drop dimes on ya
California dreams are worthless if you only care bout the surface
