AJ Bank$y and Sha the Flash - Exit 244

Bunts make bases
Listen
Don't judge my vices, I mix my sins through the illest cyphers
Conceded passions, the game was jaded I said I'd wife her
The ring was subtle, spent nine to fives just to mix the music
Yet I spill my soul and they lean to Twitter to find influence
Thought we was breakin' even, simulating things congruent
These niggas squares like a Punnett, I try to weed 'em out
My dawg was scared of changing I guess he ain't get them demons out
I'm steaming, Willie Beamen, a giant but still can't speak about
On any given Sunday I play the shark 'til they tweaking out
Convicted how he go from bar to bar on every sequence out
Like Marcus Garvey I float my pen through the intercoastals
I'm way too chill like a business meeting on center sofas
Yet I'm in the league for like seven seasons
These niggas be dying wheezing while I'm on islands lookin' like I'm sending postals
It's U.N.I., I play myself because I lack promotion
Life in reverse cause my momma cut and my father squeamish
And they son delinquent and seemed to mix wit a bit of genius
I say I love you, you chuckle and get to switching subjects
It make me feel like my prices fit in a different budget
And so they hit me like "Sha you poppin', I love ya music"
Your flow be settle, I know your verbiage, you gotta use it
It's in the cards, let me play the hand and I'm losin' patience
Yet no indications just clearing house like it's renovations
No need for innovation, give and go, my nigga waitin'
Play the point wit power like I'm guarding future presentations
Look, listen, I said play the point wit power like I'm guarding future presentations
Play the point wit power like I'm guarding future presentations
And fuck a presentation if that shit not elevating
Ain't win no Grammy, but I never missed a billing statement
I moved to 'Bama and paid two rents while I celebrated
I made some ways for my niggas when I ain't have the paper
I said they names when it mattered cause we ain't counting favors
I played it humble and fought myself with my ego raging
I wish somebody woulda told me "you don't need the placement"
Cause if you put yo heart into it then they need to play it
I spilled my soul in that closet, I hope Isaiah proud
But then I questioned my passion, I let Isaiah down
Them self-afflictions and fighting spirits and my addictions
The campus ministry had told me that I'm not a Christian
I just suppressed it and used my vices as hella weapons
Cause if I'm destined for the lake then this a fire message
Holy Jesus, I see they killing us in the streets and—
You said I'm made in yo image, or was it just a pretense?
I read the scriptures, I know it's ending, I know the sequence
But if I call upon yo name then could you stop the bleeding?
This more than real, this the confirmation of retribution
Don't blink an eye when niggas die but then they mad at looting
It's one nation under all the shit that they be doing
So fuck you and fuck me, cause we just let 'em do it
I'm crying out from my soul, Apollo cut the music
I smoked the loosies, I popped the pills and I got to sweating
I crashed the whip and I almost sent my brother to heaven
Kwa if you listening, I know it's things I can't repay
But I would come and get you even if it was at Heaven's gates
They lied on me, conspired, but I still made a way
2023 I'll take my shorty to the VMAs
2024 I need a mill and then like 20 mo'
Break it with my niggas for the days that we was really broke
When I ascend, it's reminiscent of when angels cry
El Shaddai, shield me from the grave and every jealous mind
Several kind, thank you for this gift and every level I—
Climb until the summit, but it's more of what it symbolize
Bunts make bases
