[Verse 1]
Double up my covers
As I sleep with open windows
Next day be Domingo
Spend it suck in Limbo
With a sink full
Of point-blank thoughts and dirty dishes
Watch me beat the beat up
And leave it with 30 stitches
Don’t wanna hurt your feelings but I just might
And I know it doesn’t matter if intentions are right
Cause... Actions speak louder than words
And mine be making noise like dirt bikes
Ya heard right
I been shining bright as search lights
Rapping is my birthright
Unless you wanna get left behind
Better turn right
Four times
And check your road sings
I been good with words since before I wrote rhymes
[Hook]
For anybody new here’s some shit to note down
Shouts out to the city, you the one I hold down
Shouts out to the city, you the one I hold down
Never made moves but I
Shouts out to the city, you the one I hold down
Never made moves but I gotta go now
Anybody new here’s some shit to note down
Shouts out to the city, you the one I hold down
Never made moves but I
Shouts out to the city, you the one I hold down
Never made moves but I
[Verse 2]
Working on my stamina, I never slowed down
Gotta speed up
Wasn’t always obvious, my talent creeped up
But my bars beefed up
They be thick as tree trunks
Count the rings for my age, That’s like 17 dubs
17 winters
Feel that cold wind on your skin
Shit feel like 17 splinters
Lately I been tryna be like every freethinker
Every freethinker
[Hook]
Anybody new here’s some shit to note down
Shouts out to the city, you the one I hold down
This that MTLien, I run the whole town
Never made moves but I gotta go now
[Verse 3]
I’m fulfilling resolutions
11 months ago
I told myself that I would do this
I had to follow through with it
My city never had a sound
So I’m introducing it
Bruising up the beat
Spit it then I leave it black and blue up in the street
Ain’t no one against me
Opposition obsolete
Got blisters on my feet
From the holes in my socks
Running in the gravel
I got shoes full of rocks
...
That’s all I got
