[Intro]

Yeah

No necklace, I went in that pendant

Two sick, someone pair a medic

All I see are mimics

All I hear are gimmicks

I don't read your lips 'cause I don't care who's in it

If it's on my mind, I just let it spill

They only check on me if I'll pay the bill

I don't got friends in the industry, I don't like none of you

That's just the way I feel

[Verse 1]

If you droppin' knowledge, I've been droppin' courses

I don't hang with rappers, I just hang the corpses

If it isn't God, then I ain't goin' towards it

If it isn't love, then we just don't endorse it

Pent up aggression, I pin it down

I look in my veins, it's venom now

I work in silence so they play this loud

When I go outside they say it's been a while

Oh man, time's been changin' up

Twenty-four hours, stayin' up

Used to wait on tables, there I was

Don't expect a change if you don't change it up

I don't say a lot

Put my heart on my sleeve

She said, "Think about school, why you think that I teach?"

I don't do good in crowds, why you think that I leave?

I would have lots of friends if I didn't do me

—Like I'm Batman, yeah

I don't got a cape but I live in the cave

I mean, what can I say?

I shouldn't say nothin', just look at my face

Look at the people around me, let's pick up the pace

This album two but this is just a taste

Let me set the bar like I cracked the case

You say it's your time but you look out of place

[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah

Woo!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what now?

Yeah, haha

[Verse 2]

Always used to ask me, "What you wanna be now?

Oh, you wanna rap? Look, you're never gonna be that

Come into my classroom, let me give you feedback

Where your life is headed? 'Cause I know you're gonna need that"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what now?

Everybody proud when I'm up now

Ay, man in the mirror, calm down

Who cares what anyone says now?

Yeah, get it right or you'll live it twice

I say a prayer, I don't take advice

If you hate the cards, roll the dice

Feel the lows to feel the heights

Been low but I'm back though

With a bad flow, blow up with a paintbrush

That's a Pablo, throw lines over your head

All good, Odell couldn't catch those on his tiptoes, yeah

I'm feelin' healthy, I'm blessed

This is as ill as it gets

Say this is your house but I've never seen you come in

All I see is you hoppin' my fence (Woo!)

I don't hoop at Golden State

But something just a-Kerr'd to me

I don't care if no one's heard of me

Catch a wave, that's the current sea

Currently trapped in the current of chasing currency, woo!

Never tired of getting rings

That's that Kevin Durantsy (Yeah!)

They put dirt on the legacy 'til they bury me

That's when they say that they cared for me, right?

All in it, see the light how they dim it

Seein' things backwards, that's why I'm so timid

Come get the facts, if you want it, I'll print it

You tell me I'm dreaming, I'll tell you who isn't, yeah

Yeah, feel like I'm Batman, I stay in a cave

Don't like no one around

Difference is, we ain't jokin' around

Built a throne, I don't care 'bout a crown

I don't care if no one knows who I am

If I didn't have to, I'd prefer it that way

I stay in the cave, what can I say?

Opinions about us, I threw 'em away (Yeah!)

[Bridge]

What can I say now? What can I say now?

We live in the cave now, we live in the cave now, yeah

I like it that way

I keep it just me and I like it that way

I like it that way

I keep it that way

[Outro]

Think you can pop off if you step in my shoes?

When will you realize it?

These don't come in fantasizes

What's the truth if you don't analyze it? Yeah

Chapter two but this is just the pilot

When the sun is fallin', only stars are flyin'

Not some loops is how this life will tie in

Workin' harder when the night is risin', oh yeah
