Jimi Priceless - Distance

Back to the beat
Because I can't get enough
Self imposed exile
Just to level up
If they want that smoke
They can lemme know what's up
They can get it
'Til it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Things weren't adding up
Had to remove myself
Was only in the equation
When they needed my help
So I went off the radar
If I'm fly I'm stealth
It's no illusion
I make magic with the cards I'm dealt
With every move I make, I chase greatness
So I gotta stay on the hunt
Keep my distance from all the fakeness
You can have that shit if you want
Progress in all these strides I'm making
'Cause I'm on a hell of a run
Stay on my grind, if you need that work from me
You can consider it done
But ain't nothing free in the world
Gotta be prepared to pay the price
Watch out for them demons 'cause they be feeding
Yeah, they wanna steal your light
I keep a force field round me
And if I see them, it's gon' be on sight
Been on different level all along
Isolated my whole life
Distance
Gotta just give 'em some space
No, I don't got any chill
And my drive do not got any brakes
I run it like a marathon
No, I don't do the rat race
Started right down at the bottom
Now I'm in a different place
Shit ain't a movie, when it get real
They start acting different
I kept it moving, with or without 'em
I don't feel the difference
I tried to tell 'em, let 'em know the deal
But they never listened
So now when I go in, I give it my all
But I keep my distance
Did it by myself, man on a mission
I was alone in the field
Like it or not, it is what it is
I don't give a fuck how you feel
Ice in my veins, heart done went cold
No, I do not wanna chill
'Cause when shit happened, y'all started capping
Shoulda known y'all wasn't real
But that's how it go
Cannot expect everybody to be built the same
I stick to my roots, they leave in the drought
I stick around and pray for rain
I got that light, I got that drip
They can try to throw dirt on my name
With the faith of a mustard seed, I'ma grow comfortably
Even if the seasons change
They don't make 'em like me no more
Spitting new flows, tryna fix old flaws
Was locked out now I'm kicking down those doors
Ain't nothing worth selling your soul for
Tryna dim my light but you never show yours
You ain't really real, your shit's folklore
I'ma show them the light, give them the codes or
Leave it at that, they don't need to know more
Keep it underground
When I'm burying the hatchet
Focus on the future
I'ma leave it in the past tense
I'ma stay in my lane so that
I don't end up crashing
Taking every chance
My opportunities, I grab it
Distance
Gotta just give 'em some space
No, I don't got any chill
And my drive do not got any brakes
I run it like a marathon
No, I don't do the rat race
Started right down at the bottom
Now I'm in a different place
Shit ain't a movie, when it get real
They start acting different
I kept it moving, with or without 'em
I don't feel the difference
I tried to tell 'em, let 'em know the deal
But they never listened
So now when I go in, I give it my all
But I keep my distance
