v1
now I’ve been banking on the confidence, not lacking that no more
I’ve been shading my metropolis, this super suit’s too short
cuz if I can’t fly to the roof, who am I to prove in opposites, talk all legit with big boots
which one fits mine when they file and cop a sit, it’s fun for the nigh like I might choose
this straight volition, ace to bishop, making moves, not afraid to listen
brace your boots, better pray for business, let me play with you, hope they shaving with it
got the grain up to, make the grade prolific, stay safe in a room that I paid to witness
trade days in the booth for the pay that’ll prove that I gave away what a label isn’t
Hook
I’m on top as of late, trying to make it a policy
proper to say that I believe in dropping prodigy
lotta names got property, I've confidence in my credits
you got to see the pieces, making moves in mediocrity
v2
At the end of my line, tether the mind, body the vessel, the pressure is fine,
if I lead, I guess I’ll be stepping in kind, folly a freckle, the bottle is Prine’s
with death comes a chisel and I lie supine, cover a pillow in my face opined
mellow bedfellows, hear cello declined, I credit the kettle for killing my rhymes
filler stilettos, you feeling the signs, the fickler settle for pictures of time
professional petals are picking the guys, confession dishevels my picketing guise
Turn a rock into pebbles, I’m checking the levels, making a meadow I visit to cry
Fit all the hellos, and telling the shadows, I said all I said, they live and they die
Hook
I’m on top as of late, trying to make it a policy
proper to say that I believe in dropping prodigy
lotta names got property, I've confidence in my credits
you got to see the pieces, making moves in mediocrity
v3
Spending my week, writing in keys, standing by chiefs, all of em cheap,
half into bitching, just passing the minutes, I man a decision, a pinch of my cheese,
Similarly I've been leading the pieces, come in the back, I'm punching the ceiling,
trumping the facts, chucking the meaning, I'm running the math, nobody believes it,
Shun em and laugh, a serial genius, cut em in half to fell a machinist,
shut up at last, I'm tired of reading, running a lap in a manner of speaking,
manning my scenes, I'm dreaming the scenic, a fan, a good seat, when you cover the secrets,
I stand by the sea cuz I never had seen it, sand at my feet, it’s rather deceiving
