lyrics

This is for big dreamers tryna shift gears in their lives, I see ya
To pimps, divas pushing 645 beamers
Don't fall asleep at the wheel, pump your brakes
Eyes peeled, stay awake, in this day nothing's sacred
Live according to the roll of the dice, raised the stakes
Learned prudence,self-control of the mind, made mistakes
History is littered with the corpses of wannabe bosses
Who ignored the cost of building up their fortresses
What is an artist but a liar and a thief
Who steal their best ideas, camouflage it in deceit
I am Mook Skywalker, swoop fly posture
Gram spliff in hand, 80-proof rye vodka
I made it out the struggle from my own sheer will
To succeed and leave a trail for those that don't see good
Throw fists 'til my knuckles sore, all's fair, love & war
And if I gotta go I'm going out swinging, fuck 'em all
To offer the listener a glimpse of what's in store
Every topic that I touch upon, is nothing but the raw
Unadulterated, procreation
I mean fucking with the flow breeds greatness, and I don't feel hatred
So I will disregard those that sit around, tryna bring you down
I'll hit the circus if I wanna see the clowns
A man's legacy is measured by the lives he's touched
So best believe I'm reaching out until my time ease up
Napoleonic complex, Alexander monstrous
Strategist, the baddest spic you don't wanna contest
Mythomaniac, the Loch Ness, speak proposterous
Concoct the fresh, I think big, you lost the bet
If you're dependant on your friends you're led straight to the grave
That's why I roll for dolo, no one else is taking the blame
Innocence lost, bitter winters in a sinnerman's heart
Deliberately sabotaging, so I'll give up the march
Dewie Cox the way I walk hard,
And I'm backing up my talks like a smart card, certified top dog
No need to spot me when I press
I'm always plotting steps ahead, recollect, never ever second guess
And I'm torn, between wanting to play it safe, the sure shot
Or take it across the border, lane exchanging on the Turcott
Life without a safety net, but now what makes me vexed
Is that I blazed a trail, the rest are taking baby steps
Up & comers are no test or rival
I am an idol in my family's eyes, flyer than the friendly skies
I'm the shit, steaming hot dookie butter, L-shaped doobie lover
And if you don't agree, then you can sue me, fucker
