lyrics

survival mode
before I explode
this a ticking time bomb
better stay off my road
it’s a narrow path
stay clear of my wrath
keep yo hands off my math
before I go spaz
don’t want me full blast
better stay off my hey
those quiet ones cray
y’all better watch y’all say
in this room since May
five fingers don’t play
we do that radio sway how much do your bars really weigh
every lyric get pay
but still struggle today
see a new bill everyday
everyday I go pray
only one I obey
these idols no play
this world in decay
and to some they feel it’s ok
on my Monday thru Friday
and they still got something say
to these critics I’m prey
their judgements dont faze
keep it pushing through days
find direction no Waze
put dirt on these Jays
search the for the sun when it’s gray
no bread for my toast
cause that butter be ghost
still thankful don’t boast
when I do get the most
stay humble in heart
& creative in art
you hear that hook that you sang
that make your ear drums rang
so you know this joint bang
cause my survival don’t change
just live and maintain
& keep from going insane

hook
I got haters on the side
trying divert these focused eyes
my path is for that prize
I wanna make it out alive
Snakes on my timeline
everyone one a Einstein
I ain’t got that time
just focus on mine
verse 1
they trying to take me there !
I ain’t going nowhere
second verse
see I studied proverbs
so I’m a pro with these verbs
Leon’s verbal abuse all that i heard
so I survived with my words
im the geek & the nerds
gave my story through blurbs
raised in those burbs
this jungle of a world keeps me perturbed
our peace is disturbed
we keep it reverbed
every day in these bricks running from licks
all for some kicks in these courts like those Knicks
our hearts they be Spiking
to keep us from climbing
keep all of us sighing
so many be dying
facing these serpents
this Lee keeps on fighting
it’s all in these writings
I hope y’all be finding
on a higher cliff
keep my name as glyph
take this right here as gift
your face needs a lift
I ain’t giving free rides
I had to earn what I drive
had that drive in my eyes
mama taught me to rise
so I got up every morning
while those sirens were warning
the snakes out there swarming
the skies they be storming
prints in the mud
I’m treading these floods
still dishing out love
while I’m pushed and I’m shove
cause when push come to shove
I still put on those gloves
you better watch who you shove
or you better stay woke see ,get this Donald Glove
child this ain’t no bluff
i been through the rough
I don’t dish out the fluff
I’ve been through enough
my skin is that tough
you hear that hook that you sang
that make your ear drums rang
so you know this joint bang
cause my survival don’t change
just live and maintain
& keep from going insane
