Joyner Lucas - I'm Ill

Can you feel the beat within my heart?
Can't you see my love shine through dark?
Yo, this shit right here make me wanna get in my motherfuckin' zone
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Yeah)
Can't you see my love shine through dark?
Can't you see that you must be a part
Of that beat in my heart? (Yeah)

I got ninety-nine problems, but a bitch could never be one
Stressin' 'bout hoes, that'll never be fun
Break a bitch heart, then step on each one
Better tell Ice Spice I could never be a munch
Talkin' my shit 'til my enemies come
Circlin' the block, I can never be spun
I done did shit you ain't never seen done
Now I'm layin' on the bread, I'm a sesame bun (ah)
Uh, I got loose change (whoa)
I'm a bad motherfucker like Bruce Wayne (ah)
In a Mulsanne (yeah)
New year, new me, this a new name (Joyner)
Put my new son name on a new chain (whoa)
I made new money, now I want new things (whoa)
And everybody lookin' at me like, "You changed"
Bitch, you comin' for the top of the food chain
Whoever told you they don't listen to me really told a lie to y'all
I'm comin' to get the shit I need, if you think you got it all
If I don't win a Grammy, at least I'ma get to poppin' off
And hit the red carpet and creep with a fuckin' Molotov
Blow that motherfucker to pieces, then make a monologue
You wanted to make it tougher for me, but as long as I'ma ball
Put these rap niggas to sleep, I don't need a Tylenol
Fuck the world, I got a reason to take the condom off
Shit is deeper than deep seas and I'm even deeper
Than the sea creatures that breathe heat that'll freeze beaches
And you couldn't see me, even in dreams with a psychic medium
And couldn't read me if they was teachin' encyclopedias
In HD, if I leave, it'll make it easier
I'm not a human, I'm half demon or ET and them
My DNA is a cheat sheet with a key ingredient
A green beast, and I eat beats and motherfucker, I'm ill

Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (Joyner, Joyner)
Can you feel the beat? (Motherfucker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (yeah)
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Motherfucker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (Joyner)
Can you feel the beat? (Motherfucker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you (yeah)
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Grrah, look)

I got a lot of evil heatin' up inside of me (whoa)
They say I'm crazy, but I know that's how I gotta be (hey)
I'm tired of jealous niggas tellin' me they proud of me
But really on the low, they be plottin' how to slide on me (wow)
Got tired of livin' in the hood and seein' poverty (Joyner)
I made it flip and then invested it in property (whoa)
I bought the buildings that I grew up in beside of me
And gave 'em to my niggas, now my niggas play Monopoly (okay)
I ain't got feelings for a ho, someone check on this bitch
Picture me cryin' 'bout a regular bitch (yeah)
No, I ain't cocky, I been on this shit
Better open my door when I step in this bitch (whoa)
I ain't got time for no feminine shit (whoa)
Goin' back and forth on no internet shit (whoa)
Shorty run game, I'm ahead of that trick
Can't play a real nigga, I invented that shit (grrah)
Niggas told me I should drop out of school and I graduated
Never knew I would know the shit that I knew, but I'm glad I made it
I was comfortable with breakin' the rules and infatuated
With the thoughts of gettin' up out this room and evacuatin'
Lot of shit that I had to prove and then use my imagination
I just pray that I be different than you when I'm acclimated
From the moment I was born, in the booth, I was activated
Doctor tried to pull my head out the womb then decapitate it
Now I'm on a mission to get respect and I hope you givin' it
Want every pinch of this red cent, every single Benjamin
Don't even mention it, I been cool, but I'm kinda menacing
And my adrenaline rush weapon is my specimen
And goddamn, digest and apply pressure
And I know my pen is the diabetes to my insulin
Is not Ritalin, it's me into my element
If God givin' it, I'm livin' it, motherfucker, I'm ill

Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat? (Motherfucker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat within my heart? (Motherfucker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat? (Motherfucker, I'm ill)
Can you feel the beat? Can you, can you
Can you feel the beat within my heart?

Can you feel the beat within my heart?
Can't you see my love shine through dark?
Can't you see that you must be a part
Of that beat in my heart?
