Seem so
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Seem so cool on the inside
Midwest Kid gotta get fly
Used to wanna hoop and be a 6-Man, Lou Will, but I ain’t grow to be 6’5”
Took 5 to 9 trials got cut at 14, hoop dreams
Said fuck it imma rap though
Still rock a headband like Eddie House
Giving Heat, making silk on the web like arachno-
Rap pro
Rap so: I ain’t gotta rack four aisle, get paid by the hour
Old Navy got me fried up
Okra on towels, I’m too hot to touch
Temper bad too hot to hush
[Bridge]
But I need in on the inside
Get my bro paid off the B sides
Chill and get faded in B-Side
Hear Eso spin with my shorty get behind
Look
[Prehook]
Talking talking uh

[Verse 2]
Sound so cool on the inside
This how we get to the top?
This the key to unlock all things that I wanted at the bottom?
Word
You ain't pay for your Lexus? (Nah)
Or the flight out to Texas? (Hell nah)
And they set you up Air Bnbs everything all they ever said was text us? (Of course)
Oh, you had to swipe right, pay for admission, beg for attention, fake for the network, hold a knife to the ass you been kissing?
Word a jig
But I swear that I need in on the inside

Chill and get faded in B-Side

[Verse 3]
Welcome to the inside
Swear I love your energy
Here's a G or a whole line if you need
Oh, you don’t smoke? Thats dope I won't try to press you
But its someone over there you should impress who got connects to all of the city
By the way like I make tracks on a midi
If you wanna rap i got a packet for $50
(fades away)
Are you having fun? Like do you get nervous?
Saw on gram that you flip where you learn it?
My boyfriends a rapper, can he get a feature?
I can pay for cover art
Put it on a t-shirt
(fades away)
These are influencers
You can have it all just gotta move in first
And I know you want stage time just shake hands on the baseline
Cover yo bases, smile for the camera, smile for these faces, stab a few back, just know in these places
Fake fake fake
But you can have network for ages
Cause I know you want in on the inside
Get your bro paid off the B sides
Chill and get faded in B-Sides
Get your record spin when you here you won't decline
Look
[Hook]
Jaded huh
Hang around strangers huh (Flick up)
Pose like we made it huh
Yeah, nah i'm good
Jaded huh
Hang around strangers huh (flick up)
Pose like we made it huh
Yeah, I’m good

Back Nine
02:59
|

[Verse 1]
Back nine proper
Still got more surface to cover like Rich Sherman in deep thirds
The worlds a large operation
I’m an emerging surgeon
What I predict is my light is something to paste in
Squeeze the riches from my lemonade
Billie sing the lullaby
Yeah, it’s a holiday
A day above the soil, wealth
Grow a stem we getting paid (yeah)
More life
More pain
More lines
More shade and grow
I escalade above the sky
I slide a 5 for gas we past disguise
I write my life, my greatest prize
But since Aich been the man shit I hate the rise
[Hook]
Something gotta change
Something gotta change some way somehow
Some way somehow
Something gotta change
Something gotta change some way somehow
Some way somehow
[Verse 2]
I ain’t a killer but, don’t test my suburban
You drive some pistons towards Benny I’ll go for certain
I wonder if we born pure or mature as we living
I wild out on my best days I learn it from something
I fell victim to the backseat cages
My wrist constricted still scribble these journal pages
As a star I see red and blue lights
Fireworks glow up the night
It changes when the strobes become your moment of patience
You heart stops and this life goes
Tend to see how friends become your Alpos
Jealousy and envy lurking outdoors
Lack of authenticity that going out shows
I’m still showing out
Smiles round the clock all 12 hoe
Middle finger up fuck 12 hoe
At 12, rocking shelltoes
Fire round my gifts
Shit, I’m Elmo
I never take a lose that's an elbow
I fight back my lessons more than well known
(Lessons on Lessons)
Hold up man I’m gifted
Series of unfortunate moments
I wrote a Snicket, a record
Twist it
This for those that listen don’t ever miss it
This penship mean so much to me this shit forever Christmas
[Hook]
Something gotta change
Something gotta change some way somehow
Some way somehow
Something gotta change
Something gotta change some way somehow
Some way somehow

Castle

[Verse 1]
Climb the precipice
Most can’t mess with this
Til I have my castle on the water trudge through muddy waters
They lack passion I can’t pass the ball
My aggression passive but I play pass or fall
Can’t go back to crawl
Gotta weed out the garden
They gon grow back regardless
If they pesticide I won’t stress cause I know what's best and I’m sorry
Took these chances dropped all the chips on me if I happens it's meant to be
That's how I live
How I be
I bet on me
You better believe and bet I see pass the antics
I was frantic stressed out they won’t see my worth
Now my work got em dancing
Milly rock with they friends
And shows packed out
On stage I blackout, remove myself I’m still bashful
Got these blessings on a lasso
Moat circled round the castle
[Prehook]
Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the)
Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the)
Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the)
Moat circled round the castle (Moat circled round the)
Moat circled round the castle
[Hook]
They wanna see me
I don’t wanna be seen
I’m remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like
I’m Remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like
They wanna see me
I don’t wanna be seen
I’m remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like
I’m Remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like
[Verse 2]
I self-depricate
I don’t take my own advice
I self-destruct a lot, but I smile a lot just to build it up
I got the midas touch, but I broke down on the 315
Puked my night on the side of the road, but didn’t drink and drive
Wanted to sink and fly, on my knees and cried like
It’s hard to write as the favorite
I’ve been underpaid but I 619’d my way up off the pavement
You can’t count me out
I’m so hard to doubt
My whole run been amazing
She said “you online is watching overtime” and her favorite team playing
My last record gave her shade and
I look happy, how I manage
“How you 24 and so carefree
With congress fucking us”
Icloud storage got black kid murders on HD cameras
It's like we carrying all this baggage and I need luggage and I’m desensitized
I can’t travel cause I run point and like every sentence I write a friendship dies
And a friendship dies
And a friendship dies
And a friendship dies
As I grown inside
A wall builds outside of mine
I’m desensitized
I want to survive
[Hook]
They wanna see me
I don’t wanna be seen
I’m remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like
I’m Remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like
They wanna see me
I don’t wanna be seen
I’m remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like (Hide behind my moat like)
Hide behind my moat like
I’m Remote
Chillin in my castle
Hide behind my moat like

[Prehook]
Drink your life away
Razz Wheat, we gon sip, a light parlay
Go in on Rossi we gon sip, a porch parlay
Drink your life away
Razz Wheat, we gon sip, a light parlay
Go in on Rossi we gon sip, a porch parlay
[Hook]
Runnin’
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing chasing something
Gotta find my way
Runnin’
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing chasing something
Gotta find my way
[Verse]
Peace in a bottle on the shore
Its thee allure
I’ve been runnin’ from the Lord
I do it all til its time I face the doors (God)
Auntie know I can do more
But I fall short
I fall short I fall victim
To vice traps
The media contacts my eyes
I hide in disguise
I hide from the odds
I hide from facades
I can’t lose my way
[Prehook]
Drink your life away
Razz Wheat, we gon sip, a light parlay
Go in on Rossi we gon sip, a porch parlay
Gotta find my way
[Hook]
Runnin’
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing chasing something
Gotta find my way
Runnin’
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing chasing something
Gotta find my way
