Dearly Departed

To the opposition
to the competition
I’m the definition
of they’re consequences
they want war with us
we just gettin started
moment of silence
future dearly departed

as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
i take a look at my life
I’m still alive what’s next
my enemies hear my rhythm know the sound of my steps
i treat rappers like Lebron sweep raptors the battles already won
speak after all my trials and tribulations are gone
like my battle with depression from smoking that marajuan
i went from writing suicide notes
to taking high roads with my eyes closed
now look at what we on
we defeated depression
made it through a recession
took nothing from no one in our pursuit of perfection
now this music my weapon
don’t you ever disrespect it
or i will show you how i be so protected
learn your lesson like,

o the opposition
to the competition
I’m the definition
of they’re consequences
they want war with us
we just gettin started
moment of silence
future dearly departed

I remember having nightmares where i couldn’t move it was quite clear
the demons wanted me dead right there
voices in my head telling me to pull over
it’ll be all over
and i ain’t talking about the shoulder
I’m talking about that on coming traffic left lane switch life’s over
take a pic game 7 game 6
but God given vision made me get it if i did it
then everybody listening woulda missed it
i had to pivot
I had to see a
bigger picture than me cause
now so many depend on my lyrics to be leader
but understand that the pressure of wanting to be a leader
is similar to the pressure of hitting the buzzard beater
me i call for the rock
my enemies try to block
I’m too elusive I’m at the top of the key with the rock
i shoot the enemy
arm leg leg arm head
now any opposition can take a lesson from the dead like

o the opposition
to the competition
I’m the definition
of they’re consequences
they want war with us
we just gettin started
moment of silence
future dearly departed
