I-n-I like a lion locked in a cage, roar loud bubbling from rage! Dema say All royalty can't be tamed, look at us today.\r\n\r\nHave you ever known pain?\r\n\r\nIntro \r\n\r\nBehold the Age of Aquarius\/ Rasta surfing the waves in Alex Muti's aquarium\/ it's just me and Megalodon ma middle name is nefarious\/ Iniquitous\/ I pray these bars make me ubiquitous\/ behold the illest pen in the land\/ ebolic, black Mamba venom in vein\/ spill on the pad\/ let every know that I'm back\/ I'm reanimated, a Titan's blood spilled on some herbs\r\n\r\nHook\r\n\r\nThe pain and the hurt has been my only teacher tryna blow up in vain\r\nThe anger and hate is only visible when I hold the pen and the pad\r\nThe sadness and shame made me a lonely man I prefer just hiding away\r\nThe pen and the pad has been my only heaven when I went through these hells\r\n\r\n\r\nVerse 1\r\n\r\nJahlil Negasi realize that as a household name\/ I see where we going this turning into an age of Jane\/ yuh see Dem locks pon de childrens heads\/ behold the gold in a veterans words\/ one love to the few still keeping it real\/ I keep in mind when I flex that Qhibho still lives\/ it's not out of fear, but it's respect I give\/ these other RaPpers, I'll believe it if they stomp on me!\/ Used to be young king\/ but then we grow from the things we see\/ when they give you pain and some words\/ you just conjure a verse\/ and puff too much herb coz the legions never thirst\/ tryna reinvent hell smell it as flesh burns\/ in sanctuary I indulge in my curse\/ holding a pen I meditate on the mystery of birth\/ how most of us survive the matrix, but we bow fi de hearse\/ memorize Revelations and spit it in reverse\/ I'm ill with the free verse\/ man I spit with a mean smirk\/ hard flow with a clean mirth\/ metaphors better claim worth\/ uh! Inking these verses so fast you just hear a scratch\/ with both hands and the speeds match\/ yeish! Volkodlak on a the trail to his meat stash\/ dawg! I been in the game now I want me that cash\/ I'll crash into the industry don't need a helmet and some pads\/ I'm disregarding these tRaP niggaz mfethu\/ I'm bout to end careers yeah you heard me well \r\n\r\nHook\r\n\r\nThe pain and the hurt has been my only teacher tryna blow up in vain\r\nThe anger and hate is only visible when I hold the pen and the pad\r\nThe sadness and shame made me a lonely man I prefer just hiding away\r\nThe pen and the pad has been my only heaven when I went through these hells\r\n\r\nVerse 2\r\n\r\nWho wants to raise a kid to this Cardi B filth?\/ These Kodak Black skrr niggaz without morals and gifts\/ meanwhile a talented artist is still kicking real spit\/ and he's struggling for bread trying cook you a hit\/ and out here these whack niggaz is selling bout 2 mill\/ he's always angry and hates everyone that he meets\/ coz we killed him now we gonna blame him for this?\/ Man his art is his outlet where he expose what he feel\/ coz sometimes these words really mean nothing\/ the only reason I'm going is only because I love it\/ the juice and passion is gone but the love is really infinite\/ I still feel it\/ flowing deep in my veins no wonder my world is spinning\/ maturing hoping I face these trials as a better man\/ the eye of Horus watching over me like the lion king\/ ancient symbolism states God is living within\/ as Knowledge Reigns Supreme I'm manifesting my dreams","download_count":53,"play_count":0,"restrict_download":0,"generated_thumbnail":null,"flag_count":0,"download_count_24":1,"download_count_24_at":"2021-04-18","reupload_sent":0,"thumb_path":"https:\/\/s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/sol-assets\/uploads\/public\/5fc\/d81\/3d4\/thumb_578460_300_300_0_0_crop.jpg","status_reason":"published","status_reason_alt":null,"tags":[]}
