Bascinet

[Verse 1]

Skate on the demo like Vladimir Tarasenko

Need a ballerina to tweet like Valentina Shevchenko

I'm a firm believer in certain leadership skillsets

It’s that "fuck reason", my gut feeling make real sense

Cause your mind'll play tricks that your heart can't, try it

2024 if you lying they gon’ buy it, I'm

Stacking my medals like Legos from scores I settle

Sit and watch the peasants settle for pebbles, get on my level

Losers called the kettle black, was the pot, I'll simmer regardless

Heart'll pedal backwards, the lacerations is carved in

Heavy hearted and long faced

On the bright side some heroes don't want capes

Kites flying over the circus and bronze drapes

Knife crime soon as the burners go off safe, know your place

The court jester demanded a raise, poor fool

Didn't understand you was branded a slave, old school

Hit you with the ruler and hand you a grade, Pro Tools

Cut me out the womb like Angela Dav', flawless

They all godless, watching the tall fortress

Armed guard with the strong [?], the fourth horseman

Run far, you are still trapped in Allah's jaws

No qualms, calm as a shark in a small pond

Gone, I will return when the dawn calls

One night alone in the desert beyond walls

Eleven strips off of the cactus, I saw God

Used to take a sip off the yak in my Carhartt

You take it easy we go hard

When it’s time to see who gon’ beat me, who gon' spar

Once you meet me you can’t delete me, you gon scar

You can't see me but I'm right here as a ghost part

[Interlude]

I didn't fall from the sky

I was produced by a certain climate, in a certain area, in certain dirt

I was out there, I know what it is, you know

And it’s not nothing to play with

Not, you know, it's not easy out there, as you think it would be, you know

But if you out there, do it right

[Verse 2]

Silver carats and gold nuggets

Light-skinned in warm weather but cold blooded

White kids trying to book me with no budget

Niggas on my block sell crack and hold grudges

Former collaborators be moving like my ex

Any feelings revealing they weakness in a text

It's the reason I'm keeping my freedom to myself

'Tis the season to start believing in all the help

They are not entitled to anything I project

Catch and release, master and teacher, who's the pet

Sit down, roll over, go fetch

Bring me back my swagger, the jackers is gon' step

Jackals eating off bad apples and spoiled wells

Heads and they tails, which side of the coin fell

Dead or in jail, did time in a small cell

Only overnight, no stripes and no bail

Sex workers doing the thing that they gon sell

In my room in the East Africa hotel

Paid for school I paid her money I can't front, but

I'd be lying saying we partnered up just once

Bartender, vodka tonic, it's not for me

Mami got a body that's why she party for free

When my other boo get comfortable, slide tackle

22 tattoos Malibu pineapple

Played my birthright, chivalry still alive

Bought her pepper spray then I dropped her off in the ride

Slide, I'm at the function and we inside

Googly eyed rappers see the way I arrive

Pride, love and respect step with kindness

Wish some of my problems would get left behind us

At the same time wage war like we in Goma

Every day for decades without a quota

[Chorus]

Special ops shit

I know a lot of shit, dog, what's the topic?

Parisians burn and flip cars in the mosh pit

Different shades of Francophone on the continent, bitch

Uh huh, what's the topic?

I know a lot of shit, dog, special ops shit

Live long, live prosperous

Ain't no tripping bout shit when you got this
