[Verse 1: Maassai]
We just runnin' through the maze
Shit is brutal and amazing
Simultaneously goin' through the changes
Strip the circle down when I peep
N***as be in my way
N***as be in my space like it's glue on me
I been holdin' shit together, it look new on me
Can't put me together 'cause I'm nuanced
They keep asking who are we?
N***a, what do you want?
N***a, why are you on me?
Yeah, I'm guarded 'cause I'm smart
Y'all not gon school on me
I be fuelin' but I'm coolin' at the same time
I ain't stressin' 'bout the future 'cause we made time
Every second passed is a new start
I'm just tryna make mine
I will never lose heart
Shit is really pumpin' for real
I'm really alive
I really function, I feel
Like n***as don't deserve me but
Even thats a worthy testament that I am here
So I'm a pessimist to fear
The estimates is clearly wrong about me
You are clearly wrong to doubt me
I be workin' 'til ya question isn't there
And even after, gotta shift the chapter
Adjust the narrative until it's happy ever after
Eliminate the factors that's against me, they invalid (Yeah)
Vision is impeccable
N***as eatin' carrots (Yeah)
If it's not digestible to you
The system fucked that's why (Yeah, uh)
We ain't used to seeing n***as up that high

[Verse 2: Medhane]
All this shit on my mind, Stuck inside
Know it's something to find
Couldn't lie shit troubling I couldn't fly
Reflecting and unwind
Breaths of the La
Guess that it's mine
Gon' rise
Brodey said the life left from my eyes
They want step on my mind
Every blessing is mine
Only weapon is time
Can't hide
Wonder if this get me to God
Spent time tryna see it
Wasn't speaking
Life wasn't nothing decent
What's the reason?
If it's money, then I need it
Type to keep it
Listenin' to mama teachin'
While I'm breathin'
Need it all
Team evolved and ya team dissolved
What's the cost on the calm?
Know it storm
N***as ill-informed
Show it in they songs
I ain't trippin', dawg
N***as did me wrong, 'nuff times
I ain't fall one time
Sometimes sunshine
But we in the mist
N***as really gifted so we gon' see the bliss
Know I love the spliff
Bracelet on my wrist
Ring stainless
Know this game take patience
Mind racin'
Future seem outrageous
While you waiting
I'ma change it
Blood on the pages
Blood on the street
Told me bite my tongue 'til it's blood on my teeth
But it's up to me
Fightin' 'til we free
Yeah for the peace
Win like what's defeat?
Problems under me
Know what money bring
Shit is funny when it happen
I ain't like these n***as, you can see it in the fabric
Karma really bussin' but we past it
Beat the drum 'til my palms calloused
Keep the grass clipped
For the snakes and the rats and
Rough patches
Can't catch us
Bring fire like matches
Brain wired for the madness
But I'm mackin'
Everything past tense, they ain't catch it
Brain wired for the madness
Bring fire like some matches
But I'm mackin'
Everything past tense
Bring fire like some matches
Bring wire for the madness
But I'm mackin'
Everything past tense
Yeah, everything
Yeah, everything
Uh
