lyrics

Where's that magic you harvested on your previous projects? I thought you were set to turn up with all your fans at the garden. Magnificent feat, so outstanding, no one is seated. Found brilliance in your resilience: living up to Undefeated. Thought you were a sharpshooter, why you living in submission? Thought your hope was infinite, why you look like you stopped believing? Endless in your love for this? Lying to the people? Treason. If you ain't flame throwing their mind gon' change with the season.
Been feeling estranged from my inner half, the inner beast: The sinner seeking pinnacles to shatter hate with honest speech. Inspire the masses to validate all the air I breathe, on the road to riches; Reparations, generations bleed. Eliminate my demons; jackhammer how I'm digging deep. Evict my addictions: ain't growing with them, they gotta leave. Bruce banner: the true stamina hardly seen. No envy just angry with them at how they wasting green. Go figure: just snapping until you get the picture. Ask em what happens when papermates hit the page. Heavy on opinions, but are they mastering fate? I doubt it. Like 2009 Lebron, I'm feeling stagnant.

They looking for action. Thought i was limitless: did I gain any traction?
Satisfaction in the back seat, far from complete, know exactly what I need, but I've been running in place looking for changes. Looking back on the days when all the pain was, practice. Baby I've just been so stagnant.
Can't find a method to this madness. Lately I've just been so stagnant.

Break free to be the guy you've been waiting for. When the sunny sky ain't conducive for a brainstorm, I'll turn the rain into flow, flip mistakes into flagrant domination on the mic. Electrify the most.
People's champion like Dwayne Johnson. The system kill and exterminate my people, keep us a rock bottom. Chokeslam on our hope: bet they'll be damned if we're anything opposite track star or dopeman. Them sentences were never news. We need to improve our inner circles so the revenue is Black-owned. Rather have a back broke supporting my own than to give my all to white folks who don't give a fuck about our souls. Improve on the day to day, this ain't overnight. The artists in your playlist used to be local, think about that one twice. Trying to get paid for being vocal: i won't charge for advice. This a Ted Talk over beats: what you need in your life.
Chasing after fame distract me from the fact cops killing Black heads like acne. We react with a hashtag, shit getting sappy. It's time for action: poilcy change, protests, save the prayers for after. Can't lie: it took me time to understand what matters...most in a world where minorities are preferred as ghosts.
Stand strong: when we unify change is automatic.
Free your mind: make em beg for the day that we ever stagnant.
