[Intro]
Orpheus, let's have a song
[Chorus]
Block norm, we form, we fight
Not knowing who wrong, who right
But reason don't bond with might
Still squeezing, love to palm the sight
Still breathing 'cause my armor tight
Still grieving, another psalm to write
One day, they gon' get me, but one day ain't tonight
One day, they gon' get me, but one day ain't tonight
One day, they gon' get me, but one day ain't tonight
One day ain't tonight
[Verse 1]
For many moons, too goon to take advice
The way I was moving, knew I'd soon take a life
Fighting knaves, no righteous days, just sacred nights
The stakes is high, let a couple eighths fly, then raise the price
Devastation laced in my presentation
Pack pound, won't back down whatever facing
Judging from my cover, each chapter's a revelation
Might seem dusty, but, team, trust me, this celebration
Now I shine, but in times paler from the failure
They tried things, but Ka seams rarer, I'm a tailor
Through swims mudded, find a landlubber who the sailor
See, I'm sick, never boarded, only courted like a jailor
Grab five hundred on my ave, can't be semi G
This tainted math ain't a class at MIT
On my Dīn, supreme beings, in no man I plea
Potent topic spoke in pocket on the M-I-C
(Spoke in pocket on the M-I-C, what?)
[Verse 2]
As far as competitors, there never was
Hyperdrive since I survived Beretta slugs
Knowledge lasts from polished craft, no better love
Bonafide, the beef only hide in a leather glove
Dumb brash, was runnin' with the guns unmasked
Talk shit and get cops, we lick shots for tongue lash
As quiet as it's kept, the lines are select
You call for raw, I'm supplyin' a connect
From damned, became a man they admire and respect
Topspin, once popped in, won't require an eject
So much killing, even when building, you brung a tool
Mentally jogging my memory is the only way I run a jewel
My sense is true as principle, I could run a school
From impoverished home, now I got it sewn, I spun a spool
Tumultuous cope with shit fitting with con rap
In this landscape, handshake is a contract
If that's broken, blacks back, MACs smoking
Only herbs lobby for third party, that's facts spoken (Facts spoken)
(That's facts spoken)
[Verse 3]
They hold a grudge for my melanin
On the strength of my dubs, I get love as a skeleton
My crust wasn't upper, so a sucker, I never been
The good said it, I'm hood medic, rushin' you medicine
I'm addressing the order about the times I pestle and mortar
A bunch of men jumping in, no testing the water
To raise a quarter, played the corner, no better rook
Yes, fella, was bestseller before I read a book
When heard, emotions is stirred, 'cause was never shook
Had to wait, didn't marinate, let it cook all seasons
More war, more grievings
Taught a chef impression that'll question your allegiance
Can you rep it if it's separate from your credence?
Come relax with the god 'stead of flexin' with the heathens
[Chorus]
Block norm, we form, we fight
Not knowing who wrong, who right
But reason don't bond with might
Still squeezing, love to palm the sight
Still breathing 'cause my armor tight
Still grieving, another psalm to write
One day, they gon' get me, but one day ain't tonight
One day, they gon' get me, but one day ain't tonight
One day, they gon' get me, but one day ain't tonight
One day ain't tonight
One day ain't tonight
[Outro]
Nah
Ain't tonight
One day ain't tonight
I'm Orpheus
