[Verse 1: 1st Verse]
I hold the scroll like it's my rite of passage
Write a passage calm in the eye in spite of the madness
Vices enticing but frightening how they slice gashes
If you lose sight of what matters or might happen afterwards
Before the debt incurred I like to ask myself what that shit worth
And will it last longer than taxes for the purchase
Throwin solid investments at your service
Dig in I don't scratch the surface
I'm at the cervix
No bad connection I need every word heard crisp
Palette prepared picture perfectly plated when I serve the dish
Dessert fix
Munchies for your love with the herb twist
Nourishment
Curing that inertia or I'm curving it
For certain surfing on the rising tide we couldn't turn against
Where stories told a stirring account of current events
My vision wasn't blurred when encouragement turned to contempt
I'm tryna see it all and stand tall on something sturdy as shit


[Verse 2: Beety]
Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of my enemies
Went out my mind tryna find my inner peace
You don't know what I seen or what it did to me
The difference is I turned a negative into a posistve
The problem kid investing every dollar spent
Beware of dog I heard this beat my collar ripped
Break it down like bought a stick
Break it down like bought a brick
Cold world roads is slick but the salt always seem to stick
From a city where niggas leave you stiff, shit the crackas too
The type of spot you gotta back into
Just in case you gotta flee the scene when niggas drop the roof and pop the deuce
My nigga died in front of 30 people they ain't got no proof?
Why the fuck would I talk to you
When you wouldn't get out the car in most the places I'm walking through
Eye contact but they won't talk to you
It's hot the devil stalking you
My nigga if you after cream I got the scoop
No squares in my circle never out the loop
