lyrics

[Intro]
Bad Man, Bad Man, uh.
Are you down with Zuby?
They told me to be honest, don’t talk about the skill
I’m humble, never modest, mama told me to be real
Uh, check it. Uh, yo!

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a lot to give and I can’t live with “try later”
Life’s got a lot to live and so I give to die major
I moonwalk through the fire, laugh now cry later
I’ve got pupils to inspire so I hope to die later / dilate her
A couple words can turn a total stranger to a neighbour
Like a little thought can turn a tiny building to a scraper
I wonder if the biggest trees have got the biggest haters?
Like “we started out from seeds now we’re the source of all this paper!”
That’s why I’ve got to kill it every time you hear me spitting
And share a little knowledge every time I drop a written
I told you from beginning that the boy was on a mission
To bring colours all together like the opposite of prisms
An opposite musician so I’m treated with suspicion
Like, “how can he be dope without the talk of ammunition?”
Supported from audition then I love you to arena
I just hope ambition carries me to where the grass is greener.

[Chorus]
They told me to be honest but don’t talk about the skill
I’m humble, never modest, mama told me to be real
They tell me that I’m cocky but I tell them that I’m ill (ill)
They tell me that I’m cocky but I tell them that I’m ill (ill)
Cuz no one’s dying to watch you at the bottom of the bill
And no one’s trying to spot you from the bottom of the hill
They tell me that I’m cocky but I tell them that I’m ill (ill)
They tell me that I’m cocky but I tell them that I’m ill (ill)

[Verse 2]
No one can try for me, no one can lie for me
And Jesus did already you ain’t got to die for me
Appreciate the sentiment, believe the flow is heaven sent
If it is I’ll I reach them from the palace to the tenement
College to the prison, motivation through the rhythm
Know that every verse is conscious and is treated with precision
So when you see the light you’ll say I’m ill with no rescission
And I told you that already but was greeted with derision
Been spending all my time perfecting optimal lines
And I don’t work a 9 to 5 it’s not an optional grind
With the dopest innovation from my optimist mind
I made a focused transformation to my Optimus Prime
So you might see me zoning out backstage where the stars be
Or wilding out in Europe while I’m chasing the star screams
The industry is Megatron, Zuby is a mega don
Iller than the HIV, I’m stacking power like it’s Energon.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Uh! I bodied it already, this my victory lap
So if you’re ‘live and still standing give a victory clap
I’m looking for my 15 minutes with a mystery map
But I want more than 15 minutes this is history, black
Until the day they’re crowning me no stopping for a breather
And everyone surrounding me is known as an achiever
And anyone who doubted me is converted to believer
Man you humans are confounding me so take me to your leader.

[Chorus]
