Ending early in death is just a false truth, I apologize to everyone I harmed in my youth, I’ve been thru it but that ain’t an excuse,
I could call for a pause but I call for truce, much love to Hope it ain’t never been loose, I stay calm and guided never a fool,
I been rappin my ass off lately, in my bag so can’t no one debate me on who’s better cus it’s evident I do it greatly.
And here’s a toast for the lost ones, here’s a toast for the proud ones, a toast for those who predicted this outcome,
Shoutout to the Grandmaster and the Kid, without them I ain’t who I is, shout-out Fifth Element, ima show the whole fucking world that I’m heaven-sent!
Evidence says It Was Written before time, evidently I think all is divine, evidently you can all build a shrine,
I stay calm and guided through the rough tide, they say I deserve to die, but I am your honor so let’s all rise.
You should know in darkness I thrive, see that smile? Just a disguise.
I know we fucked up but we gon be alright.

2021 at the low of the rank, walter white got sick without choking on dank, euros in my pockets falling as i float in the paint, this joint got me blunt like im smoking on dank
a little pointer over there cuz i caught the assist .
chop off the rift, the monster fall off a cliff, you niggas think rap a meal ticket it’s making no cents, til u fixing this door i ain’t paying no rent
i retire, bitch im the goat like maguire, curry chicken im spittin ripping the tires and it’s, jaw dropping how niggas spit through the wire and then, when the liar passes, death sweet like molasses, blood inside my glass traumatized all through the glasses, message to the masses, fuck em like a
martian starting another war with the Spartan the 808’s is booming lockdown it got me heartless how you fall in the middle and you not even a target
shine like a dental, leave you puffing led like mechanical pencils, ain’t even open last letters that i sent you, stay sharp like the stinging tip of my pencil, uh

pardon my absence I been relapsing to a time
when i was a youngin doing free passes
now i've changed my voice is immaculate, my eyes strained but I'm still tappin in
best outta my city took the animosity with me, the greatest ever yeah the title fits me
I'm chasing dreams that I ain't never mentioned, you make a statement but I write the sentence.
I follow messages bigger than life lessons, part of the sixth senses
so you know that that's odd
lil latinofrom bmore with a big heart
play with me turn you into shards
i got more problems than I can solve
Before I depart remember that I am God.

we just hit our one year, everything still grey, got us a hotel so we could celebrate, you got me a chessboard, then everything changed.
now we're screaming at each other about the game, then we started screaming about everything.
i swear at some point we just loved arguing.
we've been thru so much, yet i still feel the same, the same way I felt on that first Starbucks date.
do you miss me like you say you do?
am I the only boy you say it to?
do you miss me the way I miss you?
am I the only boy you're lying to?
i hope, oh, oh, i hope
you know I'm missing you...
and oh, I hope, oh, oh, I hope
you fucking miss me too...

(Verse 1) (tobi.)
The concept of time is no concept of mine, been waiting on my demise but I have yet to decline.
I fall in line along with death on my side, the depths of hell where I spit fire alike.
Muhfucka I fly to where the sun rise and I’ll be there till my son dies, even in my darkest nights baby you’re my sunshine.
I fight the lies that cause apartheid, i see clearer with my eyes like when the river dries- I drive with cries on my mind,
got what you need, cmon buy what you like; thick thighs what I’m greeted by, promise bro I’m going sky high, Wright?
I speak the mind and I speak the truth, can’t have my wisdom, not even my tooth.
These abilities is only proof that Gods is scared when I shoot and beware I make em disappear too.
One breath muhfucka they go… Woo! Tell my baby I love her, and if she give me a chance I’d make her a mother,
and tell TZU I got his back like no other, to the girl with the red hair,
keep shining ya colors, 1437 baby,
I done made it put that on a sweater baby,
I been in my bag lately, at this rate can’t no one save me, I could fly home to the unknown, and grow old close to where the rose grows,
tryna be like Andre 3-O, I been drowning but I hold onto my toes,
I got the vision like Hov, got more to go,
so it goes nah I ain’t never stopping,
I’ll hold onto my woes.

epitaph.

Ticking off the clock, alarms going off, hear the body shots of roaming bots going thru everyone like sum thots
and That’s some food for thought. I bet the fool you got locked
ran thru some burdens in the Parkin lot.
You should put me on a list to watch, at this point I’m just a ticking bomb, crashed thru the wire then my jaw locked,
witnessed Gods fall from grace, walking too long past my due date,
and I could say I’m on track but I ain’t win the race,
my mental strained muhfucka, lets put it straight. I talk to the wind on my cold days,
and recently I’ve been in a daze gazing on that one grave,
still heard em say we safe but I’m stuck in a cage, lately I been on my own, momma say I’m grown and I should clean the dust off my throne,
despite my problems I’d never end it with two shots to the dome,
she just wanna spite her man but I got no way home, want some bodies? Go to the coroners store, I see Authors looking at my growth,
been tryna hold onto my woes, I
guess we’ll see in the end tho.
