The Apple That Scarcely Fell
[Intro: Ghais Guevara]
Everybody ready?
And a one, and a two, and a one, two, three, four
Check, yeah, yeah, dun-dun-da-da-dun
You ain't, uh

[Verse 1: Ghais Guevara]
You ain't never redress the balance
John White when presented with a challenge
Cold feet and cold-hearted residence where your heart is
And you wonder why you so vicious
Ways of your blood show itself when you ridden
Shawty stretch my hands through kisses and birthday wishes
No Savely Gykin, she think her partner got strength of witches
Seen the fear in her eyes, she saw my talent for lyin'
I had to adapt to the ways of the tyrants
Nothin' to be admired and nothin' to be desired
She flinches at my kindness, cursed with a gift like Midas
Ward off the warmth, ma, I had to be the fighter
So much from the muscle that we caught arthritis
Momma put a hole in his chest 'cause she tired
Now he puttin' holes in the wall, and the silence unbroken
Holes in the heads and forever unspoken

[Chorus: Ghais Guevara]
Every single promise feelin' more like a threat
I understand, but I could never forget
Numb to what we succumb
And every damn death felt familiar
Splittin' image, genetic precision, la familia
Every single promise feelin' more like a threat
I understand, but I could never forget
Numb to what we succumb
And every damn death felt familiar
Splittin' image, genetic precision, la familia
[Verse 2: Ghais Guevara]
Will Smith, I smith the will of those who talk out of tongue
Steady blackballed 'cause the black flesh stay stung, look
Svallin wit' the honor, now they claimin' criminality
The melanosomes, the indicators of grief
Booker T with the flax shirt, wear my pain on my sleeve
Learned betrayal when they told me that you would never leave
And now I'm cautious, I talk less
'Fore n***as send them bullets to my homes like a Wildcat offence, uh
Keep the ink sharp and my claw flexed
One false move put a end to the suspense, uh
Yeah, my nerves bad, uh, I'm a shook dog, uh
Fight or flight, I'm the type that'll quickdraw, uh
Every year as he grew every inch
A hand from his pops showed the power of a flinch
That trust stay lost when it's buried under trepidation
Hesitant to tell you, but send you to hell, no hesitation

[Chorus: Ghais Guevara]
Every single promise feelin' more like a threat
I understand, but I could never forget
Numb to what we succumb
And every damn death felt familiar
Splittin' image, genetic precision, la familia
Every single promise feelin' more like a threat
I understand, but I could never forget
Numb to what we succumb
And every damn death felt familiar
Splittin' image, genetic precision, la familia
[Verse 3: McKinley Dixon]
I seen God stressed out by nature who once faked in a fee
Fell in love with a demon, then got locked to the concrete
Couldn't catch my breath that show, called my moms for a beat
She hear the tremble in my voice, say, "Baby boy, just repeat"
You aim to feel the Sun's warmth from different lands
And how many times have I traced the palms on back of your hands? Follow them
Momma, you just missin' one detail
My directions are fucked up because that's where they put the nail
My light refracts, always knew one day we'd be attacked
Felt like I could see the world with light from my door cracked
If we fail, we get more people suffer right back
Hand signs and handshakes how we enter certain pacts
I'm what you all pretend to be, they want to put an end to me
I'll probably knock you over, point my finger, focus energy
Bangin' sticks on fence, makin' patterns you can hear
Got my ear to grandma's chest and that's the last thing that I feel (What it mean?)
Silver tongue resembles guillotine
Anyone up in this world could finish sentence if I need (What it mean?)
They lock my lil' n***a for a scheme
He got out and started dancin' ever since, such a light beam (What it mean?)
N***as gettin' mad at the dream
I would point 'em out, but they just yellin' at their TV screens (What it mean?)
Easy way to end your whole scheme
Put a hole inside your wing and your light just turned green, what it mean?
Hahahahaha
