We’ll See

I put all my eggs in one basket
And now I’m just scrambling to make sense
I asked one legend to spit 16
Like BB king He said the thrill
No longer exist

Being conscious in hip hop
Is a steady consciousness
Of odds stacked up against you
Being super sharp just like a Ginsu
But less in your bank Like when the rents due
Yet thankless if things do improve
And nobodies moved by what you’ve been through
It's all about the groove the publics into
We was all connected at the hip
It was always a gamble how wе spit
Cats I respected from thе rip
Are suddenly cashing in all their chips
It's got me Wondering if
They see inevitability
While I’m steadily ignorantly blissed
They say whatever floats your boat
But Is this another boat that I’ve done missed
I got a house on the lake
Peace for peace sake
Taking breaks
Turn em into loops and make a track
Run the track, like I’m still in the race
But am a dude that’s out of date
Am I that funk band in the eighties when Rap was thoroughly on its way
Saying ahh man that ain’t music
It's just a trend - a passing phase
Boy how deeply wrong were they
Am I discreetly facing that same fate

I remember touring with James Brown
When he was too old to be on stage
I said that won’t be me - I'll bow out gracefully
But can I really say
Cuz here I am in my fifties
Thinking I’m still grizzly
But can I bear the shame
Should I have to mention our debut album
Is it always just nostalgia
Til our last days - omega
Will fans only jam our Alpha
We'll See

Can u stand the rain when you really want sunny weather
Sometimes you don't get what you want because you deserve better
Thought of that? Have u ever
Emotionally I feel the heaviest when I'm empty
Haters on the gram strangers on the gram
Messing with me mentally living rent free
And I've been inside a cocoon that's been hiding me
So I'm turning over a new leaf grow wings
And be butter and be fly metamorphosise and be
Whether I swim up the S H I T creek
Like Andre 3000 said in Rosa Parks we dread that peak
We all want that praise dude. Our peak was our debut
We moved straight to sex with our fan base
We couldn't just chase and just date you
And they packaged us as miraculous and the fact was just that we stayed true
And that's boring sometimes but ain't you feeling the need for rap not to debase you
This is our Mount Rushmore
Faces and monuments traces of our continent confidence showing lyrical dominance
During the era of oppression our prominence
Arrested Development we promise this
An entity of dignity since our infancy
We meant to be an epiphany for the industry
And whether or not we claim victory is subjective ain't it
There's a Fat lady to our right
I guess it's right to not say goodnight until she starts to sanging

I remember touring with James Brown
When he was too old to be on stage
I said that won’t be me - I'll bow out gracefully
But can I really say
Cuz here I am in my fifties
Thinking I’m grizzly
But can I bear the shame
Should I have to mention our debut album
Is it always just nostalgia
Til our last days - omega
Will fans only jam our Alpha
We'll See
