[Verse 1]
Take me back to the 8th grade
Fo' they called me by my stage name
Chubby little youngn making music and they told me something's off that
I was stuck up in a strange phase;
Stayed the same cuz, only age change;
Built some enemies but now I take aim
N fire away and spit flames, turn the page, let my feelings hang
Off my paragraphs, BANG BANG!
[Hook x2]
Take that! That!
My words are my bullets
Take that! That!
I did what I shouldn't
Take that! That!
Did what they said I couldn't, they talking behind my back kiss m, I got em' looking
[Verse 2]
Now I'm at a point in my life that's feeling extra pivotal
28 years grown, everything is critical
So much pain, patched it up n finally let it go
Born n raised being me, I never fit the mold
No, they cut me off like my umbilical
Stories of my life, I sit n write n try to get em told
But they tell me no cuz they don't see the big in O
But Oh lord, before you take my soul
Lemme go in peace
Lemme go in peace
I gotta, go in peace
I gotta…
Go in
BEAST ON THESE BEATS
Poetry's HOW I SPEAK
I been tryna stand right, but been living on my knees
Took a swing n I striked, said I peaked not my league
Never quit, batted twice, finally, I hit a streak
Then I started feeling like, no more tricks up my sleeve
Rolled it up too many times, dumbed me down, I'm talking weed
When I learned to see the light, started shining inner peace
I'm just tryna live a life, so please, just lemme be
[Hook x2]
Take that! That!
My words are my bullets
Take that! That!
I did what I shouldn't
Take that! That!
Did what they said I couldn't, they talking behind my back kiss m, I got em' looking
[Outro]
A phoenix back, from ash fast, I'm spreading my wings
Strapped my backpacks, been equipped with my ink
My missile system has range, solar system terrain
Never generic with my thoughts, and never carelessly think
Cuz see I cherish the stage, and all these things that I sing
Cuz at the end of the day, we all swim or we sink
So I connect with my pain, and try to tighten my link
To pull me out of the dark, cuz life can end in a blink
