Major Flex 04:13

I left home with nothing all I had was a reason A hundred pounds in cash and a plan to believe in I'm better under pressure so I splash in the deep end I'm a walking paradox like the Son of Man with gun in hand Rugged with the thugging I'd spark a bud up in buckingham Calmly call your bluff I don't blink for less than a hundred grand Understand I been around money like a rubberband Growing every year and my style's getting colder The sharper cat the record business tried messing over I'm here for justice but it's like the trial's never over They profit off our trauma like we're child rebel soldiers Liberation is the mission and we ride at dawn I can't be pigeonholed, my penmanship defies the norm A brother chilling's got you thinking you can ride the storm You fools think you're winning? This isn't my final form Complacent in this matrix, keeping you below your max They know the facts but sold you cap just to hold you back We're coding cracks reloading fast to decode the math Til we get to holding racks like we're Goldman Sachs Who you got? We're taking bets I got nothing for you bums I only play the best Major threats? they get laid to rest When you make it out the mud that's a major flex We eating good, got these haters vexed Worry bout yourself homie, pay your debts Major threats? they get laid to rest When you make it out the mud that's a major flex I'm old school with a new syllabus Building up my squad of Avengers, now who's real enough? I'm fly without the hubris but you is the new Icarus You just move frivolous, how could you dudes mimic us? You learned the music but the business work was never done Accountants screwed you out of numbers that you let them run Set you up with crooked lawyers who went and embezzled funds If you don't learn the game they'll play you like a set of drums When all is said and done, this is all about the legacy Diligence, integrity you best finesse the recipe You got a death wish if your efforts are to mess with me Both got that dog in us, but yours a lesser pedigree I'm Ali with the footwork, how I got these fools pursuing me They're throwing jabs but I maneuver through it beautifully A product of the practice and we study dutifully Now we've got cheese on deck like charcuterie Who you got? We're taking bets I got nothing for you bums I only play the best Major threats? they get laid to rest When you make it out the mud that's a major flex We eating good, got these haters vexed Worry bout yourself homie, pay your debts Major threats? they get laid to rest When you make it out the mud that's a major flex I'm updated, upgraded on you dinosaurs Another tyr when I appear I'm like the god of war It's armeggedon when I step in, who you riding for? I'm war, famine, plague waiting on that final horse My vision's crystal and the frame ain't glitching You're not talking bout the greats if my name ain't mentioned How my bass straight hitting got these lames straight bitching But my lane ain't switching, sparking flames takes friction Protector of the realm, pretenders get sent packing My calibre's excalibur, drifting a Benz wagon I'm Arthur when I author, The Holy Grail been rapping It's fire when I write, they're calling me Pendragon 'fore you start to bump your gums Brush your teeth and wash your tongue That BS is on your breath, homie I am not the one If you're desperate we can sense it so that money's going to run Trying to make it out the mud homie this is how it's done Who you got? We're taking bets I got nothing for you bums I only play the best Major threats? they get laid to rest When you make it out the mud that's a major flex We eating good, got these haters vexed Worry bout yourself homie, pay your debts Major threats? they get laid to rest When you make it out the mud that's a major flex

Guess Who's Back? 03:07

Just a man who's becoming who he planned to be Flow like the amazon, sharper than piranha teeth Standard procedure when I pull up in the baddest V Get your feet off of my dash, have some manners please There ain't a dream that exists that I can't achieve Some jealous backstabbers talking like they're glad for me And so your peace offer's something that I can't believe 'Cause y'all deceiving like a vegan eating ham and cheese Unholy haters I can't be around y'all You only talk to God when you pray for my downfall Look, I drop then bounce back like round ball You got to let your problems air out like townhalls Face it y'all, you rappers playing basic ball You monkey brains trying to ape the God, homie A Bentley drop with the AC on Refresh the game like Evian, I'm so cool Guess Who's Bizzack? Back in the trap with the flows Rap tight like I'm trafficking Os Don't make me relapse, snipe y'all with one eye closed You don't want Smoke, it's all I know Starting from the bottom my only resource is data Simultaneously building and climbing up on the ladder They talk about the boy and I ignore all the chatter Wifey thinks I'm handsome, that's honestly all that matters Look I paid my dues, a new place I'm laying roots As cold as the truth that I'm laying in the booth I got to make the loot, time to cop another coupe So I'll be slanging juice that is CBD infused I don't ever pause when I'm getting to the commas I chase the paper down like it talked about my mama I kiss her on the cheek and then I'm right back to the misson Coz she deserves a truck and some marble in the kitchen I just shift the culture, they don't see me, I'm a poltergeist Sacrificed my social life, the antisocial socialite A brother splitting atoms when I'm rapping in the lab Then I peel off like a kid with a scab, I'm bad Guess Who's Bizzack? Back in the trap with the flows Rap tight like I'm trafficking Os Don't make me relapse, snipe y'all with one eye closed You don't want Smoke, it's all I know I've got to push the envelope, show the people what's possible Overcome every obstacle, operate at the optimal Leading the team like Optimus, ready for the opps will do If you really want it, there's nothing out there that's stopping you Some tried to play me, it's crazy they dare to show they're face They're smiling but I don't dap em because I know it's hate Bet on myself, I trust it because I know the stakes You don't get what you're worth you get what you can negotiate Yet I still believe I deserve platinum and gold Birthed in the third world but I'm first class with the flows Show me your top 5 I'll murk half of the bros Count me out but, what do these nerds actually know? I'm about a message y'all just thirsty for a viral hit Substance over style, and yet you know the style is lit Right now it's over heads, I'm not really minding it 'Cause in time you'll decode it like a hieroglyph Guess Who's Bizzack? Back in the trap with the flows Rap tight like I'm trafficking Os Don't make me relapse, snipe y'all with one eye closed You don't want Smoke, it's all I know

Chartered Flight 03:30
lyrics

Reminiscing on the past and how much trouble I've been In boarding school trying not to trouble my kin Never caught with contraband we were smuggling in Inside the corn flakes box was a bottle of gin The usual suspects? That would never be us The quiet kids who studied hard? Man who better to trust? Just to be the Kaiser Soze as I walked out Slick with it, bank on it like a Rothchild Then in college it was happy hour at the bar Beer and wings tasted like champagne and caviar Talking bout fitting subwoofers in a rally car Chilling with photographers coz they knew where the baddies are We were growing older and the world was moving on Witnessing the fall of heroes that we grew up on I was told the lower tier that's where you belong So I went and got a masters just to prove em wrong Echoes of the life that we lead On a chartered flight to our dreams All the sights that we've seen On a chartered flight to our dreams The greater the doubt then the harder I flex Talk enough smack I might just charter a jet My crew of misfits became a squad of execs Hard truths came to light with the spark in effect Real talk bro, you attract moths when you're glowing Not everyone can handle all the love that you show them Everybody can't go, I know the quote is a cold one But some people hang themselves with the rope that you throw them Can't let you in my kitchen if you leave a mess Got to keep a small circle trying to be the best So they'll be some former friends I'll be seeing less CBD infused seltzer to relieve the stress To recieve a gift, is it worth the penalties? You were sick with jealousy when you heard the melodies You tried to clip their wings so this bird will never leave The cure that y'all prescribing is worse than the disease I'm sorry Echoes of the life that we lead On a chartered flight to our dreams All the sights that we've seen On a chartered flight to our dreams Breaking my fast with Greek yogurt and berries Taking care of the body that is so necessary In true Catholic fashion I'm devoted to Mary The family crest a reminder of the load that we carry From sitting in favelas to Ferrari Berlinettas Marino wool sweaters just to compliment the weather On a Gulfstream snacking on some continental cheddar Breaking cycles of poverty, on God we must be better The truth is found in action, that's how I bet on my passion Knowing we're going to cash in but silent as an assassin Prayers up for the haters, 'cause truly I can't imagine What it's like to hope in vein that a brother won't make it happen Make it happen for family that's the race that we run Praying for better days as we say our grace over lunch Make the paper stack and stay as chaste as a nun You finally made it happen and now they hate on your son It's crazy... Echoes of the life that we lead On a chartered flight to our dreams All the sights that we've seen On a chartered flight to our dreams
