[Verse: Ransom]
I'm eatin' well but no carbs on the plate, dodgin' the weight
Life's a treadmill, an uphill climb, joggin' in place
No regrets still, a tough pill, I'm starvin' to take
But if hell is on earth then I'm meetin' God at the gates
Ain't no heaven in the clouds, if so, why bother to wait?
Huh, ever met a martyr with faith?
I move at a smooth and moderate pace
If death is the finish line, then who's in charge of the race?
The truth is hard to debate
In a concrete jungle, I grew as large as an ape
And it's hard to be humble when you was born to be great
Ever look your pop in the eye and knew your father could break?
Yeah, it's hard to relate
I put my heart in this tape, if I don't do it, then who will?
Yeah, a testimony of true skill
If I don't prove it, the truth will
You probably thinkin' you shoulda just took the blue pill
Thoughts from the oracle, everything they sayin' is rhetorical
My shit historical, but it's still more to do
Now it's time to stand up
Never needed a handout, n***a, give me your hand up
Anything that you felt real’s everything that you can't touch
Yeah, you plan to fail if you don't plan much
First we seen bracelets, then we seen handcuffs
N***as told you to man up, now you're givin' your man up
You ain't keep it a thousand, now they breakin' the band up
Huh, hou'd be surprised who you can trust
They say I wasn't worth much 'cause I ain't pull my pants up
But how you know you're worth when you twistin' them rubber bands up?
Enough with the nonsense, I don't read in the comments
I create conscience, you create content
My shit is hard to process like James with a lob to Embiid
You can see I'm workin' hard in the process, ah yes
It's lookin' like my year, I'm Ali, Foreman fightin' in Zaire
Back to the ropes, copin' with my fear
Judge in his high chair
Starin' at my grave, then he says "Look, n***a, you probably gonna die here"
Damn, what a nightmare, reality hit you and he don't fight fair
A knife through the heart, nobody life spared
Yeah, no need to be alarmed, no
Either you Denzel or Alonzo
Maybe you started off in a condo
But you can end up like Orenthal in a Bronco
Nonchalant with the combos
It's back-to-back, but it's still calm though
Attack the track with the ill convo, huh
Engaged in the worst hate
First of the month, I'm fuckin' fiends on the first date
Brooklyn's the birthplace
We don't get betrayed 'cause we never trust yo' ass in the first place, ahh
[Chorus: Ransom]
We livin' life ash to dust, love after lust
Take it for granted, this the last of us
Pourin' drinks out for brothers who was stabbed and cut
Plastic cups, let's toast to the last of us
Judge the frowns on their faces who ain't laughed enough
Same n***as that held you down hold your casket up
Passed them up, the first to be the last to trust
They don't care if it's the last of us

[Outro: Black Chakra]
If I told you you were gonna live past 21
Would you still be a savage?
Been framed with poor traits so you ain't know that fact
Hard to see the bigger picture when the Kodak's black
Less super gremlin, more super engine
Put down the pistols, boy, you a Piston, get the point, God?
You Isaiah, the prophet and Thomas
Bigger than that project hallway that's been pissed in, listen
You meant to make it, your place is not those vacants
You ain't know you were built for mansions
Why you think God gave you wings?
Things we ain't have you must grasp for us
To these words your souls take 'cause you're fabulous
Meant to win wherever you roam, Maximus
A free man not made for the master's clutch
Dodged the cells, surpassed the cuffs
Called lazy 'cause you Lazarus
Burnt spoons, burnt dream from the ash was us
Glory coming soon, stay immune to the doom
You the last of us
