[Intro]
Indeed, them poor righteous teachers

[Verse 1: JADASEA]
Woke up, waitin' for the day's endin'
Know my days are numbered, count 'em up and pay penance
I'm paper, say set in's, essence is the pain's lesson
I learnt a lot, earned my spot, had my main stressin'
They wanted answers to the question, told 'em "keep guessin'"
At what you reckon, reconcile, take a deep breath in
When it get reckless, it affects us - couldn't eat my brеakfast
Stayed awake, it's hard to sleep when you start suspеctin'
The last of it is hard to mention, see I can't defend it
I'm past defendin', can't surrender, I'm the last contender
Ether flame the ember, nowadays I can't remember... (Uh)
(Ether flame the ember, some days I can't remember) (Ay ay ayy)

[Verse 2: MIKE]
Many n***as throwin' shade, I am not engaged (Ay)
Only focused on my gang, not this clout a-gain (Ayy)
Smokin' different strains (Uhh)
Twistin' sour j's, choppin' as the hours fade
Hit the couch to cave (Uh)
Get to shoutin' "'Scape!", gettin' out the maze
Measured out the fame, all I know is our way (uh)
Since a child caged, tried to fix my mouth to say (Mm)
Picture now without the pain - bigger smile, it's strange
Papa say I got a charm, I know it's not the faith
Ashes stay up on my garm, livin' not ashamed
Shit is not a game (ay)
[Outro]
There are no [?]
That was another lie invaded, that was created to fuel the-
To make some people not move to make those decisions
Try to defend, but when you straddle offense
The decision was specifically made for you
Because everything is either spiraling upwards
Or you're spiraling down
You're ascending upward or you're spiraling downwards
Uh.. let's look at that
