lyrics

Watch your step
OK
My life like I O D'd on caffeine and cocaine
my grind on till breath gone I refuse to refrain
my speech burn like butane
on Richter's scale still weigh
enough to leave'm shook
whenever my word play
like I'm
off the books haters can't see me get paid
I'm so
off the hook like someone else is to blame
so just
play the rook
step to the side or move straight
don't come at me crooked and force me to
twist your fate
it take
just a look and these fuckers screw their face
like
how he got skills and not a felony case
and
how he know the streets but they don't recognize his face
and
how he not a thug but get respect when in the place
I tell'm a tight lip
skin of my teeth
and God's grace
a tough team
no sleep
on the low holding an ace
if you ain't prepared to go the distance
don't even jump in the race
this is
a sleepers nightmare
they can't keep up with the pace

Every word, every breath
every move, every step
every promise I kept
I ain't playing
From my birth to my death
for my fam & my set
outta love & respect
I ain't playing

Wise up keep your eyes
wide round me
size up big traps
flapping gums round me
tough talk never bust no
gun round me
line up wait your turn
to take a chuck outta me
hold up
in the jungle animals wilding
rise up
bring'm down like big game hunting
times up
so repent like your worlds ending
I'm about to pull off big plans
like its a small thing
sure win Skila thing
so hot its scalding
Turret's syndrome
more balls then Spalding
fuck that bitch shit
my flow be harding
a paranoid problem
far from solving
I grind till I'm balling
ball till falling
these cats claim to ride
but their cars are stalling
Skila I D
I be a beast evolving
tear up piece by piece
thats nature calling
