OneNine by Khama (US) Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2020

Happy new, happy new
The black Jew standing in some sandals
Who gon lift my latches loose
My back is bruised black and blue
I planted two feet like evidence, nappy roots
I stand accused, man of few words
Copious the fruits, opiates the shrooms
Smoke it to dissociate the fugues
Cloven into two old heads
Told me what to do, spoke it
No uncertain terms, no unwritten rules
They said, fresh out the seed
Grow a leaf, that's a new vine
Wait for your rain, it's gone drop, that's in due time
Condensed vеrsion advancing ran at the first sign
The lesson now I'm thirty bеst to listen to your first mind
Revert, hit the lottery first, see economies burst
Cheap commodities worth the Cayman Islands
Reverse, stop, knee jerk, skrt the throttle
Burnt your new Bugatti its cursed but get your mileage
Rap about rap just to be facetious
My similes a metaphor, like a figure of speech is
More than one way to skin feline's well
What's a cat with nine lives to a cat o' nine tails?
I'm the gold standard, the epitome, the cornerstone, the old adage
Ain't your proverb that you can learn but you don't practice
Hate it when it's plain but when it's subtle you don't catch it
Buried in the plains beneath the rubble and old hatches
Match stick lighting the gas stove, light flickers
Bills that's past old, ceilings collapsed lows
Far from the villas and chateaus
Tap water filthy that we had to boil
And we coming from the rundown apartment homes, block regimes
[Shopping carts?] on fences, origami dollar rings
Homicide detectors, plain clothes for Halloween
Compromised forensics, playing round the murder scene
Our peep game stay humble and make connects
Stayed away from the side street hustle, and paid my debts
On the same street the guys ate dust to gain respect
Wrote their name when the concrete jungle was wet cement
We the legends, they telling our stories in the hopes we die
Corner angles, revolution that's ultra wide
Upper class youth that fetishize our broken lives
Infiltrated and replace, that's how the culture dies
My song writing was strong, the ghetto genius
With a future bright like starlight before the zenith
That's why their jaws tight like dog bites
I was beaming like them off-white cop car lights before you seen it
You can say you listen
It don't make a difference
In the land of the free, home of the brave and privileged
I won't say specifics, I was once made a mention
Passive aggressive tones, awkward silence, vague suspicions
They Teflon, we Velcro strap
Put in work till the job kill me, feel me? Belco staff
Elbows crack jaws, who lacks raw skill, new black law
[Used cast?] crossed the backlogged meals, asphalt feels the same
Blood stains calcify, body count as high as the babies that the tax law kills
Best of five, live another day
Only fight with press, stay alive live another way
Playing tight to chest, hide your style [as if I was slay?]
Then disguise the rest so you fly but a little plain
Like a private jet, quiet as kept [the ornery?]
Trials and setbacks encourage me
Fire melted away my impurities
I got it on high authority to retire at 43
And my keep my mental health well until my seniority
Most rappers over-compensate metaphorically
Cause they ain't been through nothing so it's boring to me
They speak in platitudes and always seems wise
They live enough to see romanticism in their dreams die
I'm spry and high spirited
Eye's clearer than skies near a line dividing the [cost square?]
I'm a chimera of my era
Type very pterodactyl tyrannosaurus triceratops a frame every night terror
My cerebellums like the mic several XLR cables and the light never tangles when I write
Can't put compression on
The hot dynamic range is where the magic stays
Tragic over traction in the pad has change
Just tryna shine like some gamma rays
[?]
Cross the quadrant through an x-y-z to the make the axis plane
No solutions though cuz on the corner
Pungent odors sung an ode, told not to grow old in Houston
The truth is there never was a blueprint
You walk too many miles before checking if shoes fit
Once the news hit bout my new shit
A fuse lit, new depths like sunken cruise ships and loose lips
Few fifths, a new whip, like [shadow ? ships
The trunk knocks?], turn everywhere I park into emancipation
Raise the dead, the day we celebrate a [silver?] snake with seven heads
Baby break eleven bread, my thoughts on these clouds was weathers trouble
So by the time I write they touch down like a condensation funnel
This is for who's lies have made you humble
For all you [choir straight?] decomposed, you in a constant state of struggle
Just know I don't want you cuz the law that says to judge you
After all I did to son you say our father says he loves you
We never pass away whether the law say we sinful or we pop for some skittles
Not a jot or a tittle
In the modern days, we often pray for a sign
In the common slang, we often wait till we die
But that’s common place, you consummate where you lie
Till a condom breaks and swaddling babe saved your life
Who's your Hagar? Your Boaz? Your Tamar? Your own Nan the caves wall
The scrolls tablets hang off, the cold hand, the pressure gave you meaning
The blessing brand new being, a blessing just to see it
I don't sweat him [see?] he's competing
This is a measure [preach?] it from a lesser [lecher pieces?]
Freshness, a master thesis, wrote the textbook [ex a Jesus?]
Seminole treaties, consecutive dean’s list, what's the catch?
I had to learn to play chess but carried a checkered past
Nothing is minor I'm grand scale from A to G
Half stepping make you fall flat, that's a major key
HPD, APB, ghetto ABCs, never quit my day job so I daydream from 8 to 3
Step on stage to scream, setup shop let off cd merch
Support behind the bars don't got to cop, no free my n***ga shirt
Bloggers locally popping paying [comments?], and place me on a top five list
It's not by any means exhausting
Initially a pawn, until I squared up
I wouldn't really say I'm the best it just ain't nobody I'm scared of
Wanted to be the goat till I was taught how they prepared one
Sacrifice slit throats and sprinkle blood drop on a prayer rug
No fear, posture for deities that’s your peers
And if you a god *smooch* that's my lips to your ears
[? to curry?] no platinum my plaques is very [track it?]
Put a beast on wax like taxidermy
Hesitate to speak salaciously for those who facing me
Meditate and breath in patient peace for those who wait for me
[And I done happen?] with a magistrate to the [chaplin?]
Love was passed in the tragic wake on my enaction’s
Guilt stricken and mental illness's
I'm billed but they still saying it's not a real sickness
The kill switch is field tested when I feel triggered
My minds like a minefield when I feel [questioned?] but time heals
It's why I overcompensate metaphorically
Because I've been through something that's important to me
When the romanticism of my dreams die, learn to speak in platitudes cause it made me seem wise
The Good Seretse, in the hood till they arrest me
Make it, praying if they tempt me, my house empty spouse
Plenty relics found, melted crowns, descendants round' for centuries like hemp seeds watched like sentry's
Clocked on ten speeds, mark on us
A joy turns dark on us, we carbon dust
Draw for what? our garments touch like favor
Bad blood that gets you pressed like sublimation
Tungsten faces, wine glass feet like fine brass
Believed in pride, they got weak as time passed
Discrete, still keep the secret in culture, inner peace
Still keep that heat that don't burn
Miss that wax candle, drop stove top handle cold handle hot
Can you not sit still, hand gets popped
Band snap off, [band?] two knots, keep your head still
Get a [red?] light so you run it like treadmills
I took the Bar exam now I advocate the defenseless
Their lives stood on trial for non-violent offenses
The [more?] rights to sentences passed for the cream
The people versus the [ad?] light on my sixteens
Bad writing, not it, my vernacular Nas
Field like fire, bullet wounds, feel like acid burns reach for God
Don't be alarmed by the simpletons and halfwit pawns
Be on your guard for coconspirators and sabotage
I'm underground, black diesel, man
Nat Turner, Animal, Nat Geo
I used to step to cyphers that spiral around a free-from
Now I'm a hurricane threating half of the Eastern sea-board
Three-Fourths of the entire Earth erode away like a scroll
Sometimes you walk on water but your friends wait by the boat
[Okra much?] and hearing kids hum all of the songs that he wrote
Pursed lips mumbling under his breath that ain't how it go
Anything by the wayside its told
I watched his solitude the day the Harvey turned the bell waved to a [moat?]
I still shiver a sliver of hope, glimmered off the sand
Houston River looking like the Hoover Dam till September
There's a season and a place for every day and time
In Houston seasons taking place all in one day in time
A thousand years until the fray is just a day of mine
The sounds you heard are the same as ancient times
Controversial, non-commercial, personal
Wearing exceptional you still para-professional
Born a savant I was a toddler with expensive quotes
I had a ledger before my writing was legible
My mother saw the prophecy when I sprawled
That poverties ending, wasn't bothered by writings on the wall
No subliminal, old residuals I'm charging the cloth we cut from
With stolen dress sharp as a razor [margin?]
The myth of hustling [is?] young as good as nothing
So making less than good assumptions
On the hood they said they loved 'em and dug 'em a grave, it's grave
A better path, you'll never know
Only thing set is stone is your epitaph
I'm back
Like crack, and getting old
Living in the morn, I'm sniffing with my points
And everything an author write is pain, if you've got a bone to pick about my joints
I'm picking up my coins
Control you, gave you a little bit of game, n***as sold you
But just by your stance I can tell you won't advance to examine what hurt your chance
You just chalk it up to extemporaneous circumstances
You know everybody old, you millennial day culture
Lame-o's better for chicken heads and vultures
[Saves those plans?], the victimless take culture
Catch villains blame it on women, that's rape culture
We supposed to be free, until we free
Ima call you a king, we gon call you a queen
Unless you wiped out of my definition of obscene
Then you subject to my perception of what respectability means
The type of blatant hate that brought up Donald Trump to the office
The kind of hate I tend to face for saying my skin is darker
[Not if the age it finds to take?] pedophiles with your daughters
Sometimes the race cards is a spade, but ain't no one call it regardless
Who stole it?
Maybe it's that compartment or lapse in our logic?
It's keeping under aged skeletons trapped in our closet
Some people hunt a range, only got ammo for possums
Just keep it a hundred mane, you only take shots if you ballin
Not your boy, call me [Amahk Yakseego?]
A condom, a new home, T'Chala in new clothes
I'm [mobbas with two phones?], Obama, the new port
Is Melania, use quotes when talking about who wrote it
When congress abuse corpse, our power, we lose hope
We gotta recuse both bipartisan news shows
And now we got two [pros?], one in Oval Office
The other in our you know, a bunch of us cooling but they see
You at a stop, I bet the cops is to shoot though
As doc as the Seuss thrown, a document loophole
And doc a pursuit slow and the progress of youth
All into MAGA cause you know, democracy, whoo
Flow to hypocrisy through loyal, a [posey say truth?]
Loyal, by calling you youth, spinning in Hollywood too though
The [asking?] them too slow, the audience grew soft
For PR they show up for, but all of them knew though
Blanket statements, [the block pause and then tolerance proves so?]
The consequence too low, don't follow them too close
They promise the moon, [show you a comet in blue smoke?]
Imagine if you got violated and grew cold
You harbored a bruise so, it's thought of as rude
To show your honesty, proves who spoke anonymous
You show reciprocity, if you showed animosity
Zoom out of society, [prove that they can't possibly movement with that dialogue?]
You grow, like your confidence bruised
Or you spoke out like me too, but then they call you a view whore
[And a process to you know you are proud of it too long?]
You waited for truth or relying on YouPorn?
I'm blessed (blessed)
My swag on a level yeah I flexed (flex)
And dab on the devil, yeah you stressed (stress)
You mad cause I'm better, I'm a chef (chef)
My bad got the cheddar, yeah I checked (check)
Your bag filled with lettuce, then I checked (check)
I cashed it and spent it, my next (next)
Advances and setup I guess (guess)
I canceled my credit request (quest)
For a lease of the home, ask the bank to leave me alone
Now the bank is seizing my home
Man the bank won't leave me alone
Paid in the passport of the seed, now I'm wondering when the bangles will dash them up to speed
Drive enough until I bankroll and crash, I'm up the street buying something or I'm trading my cash card for a Fiat 500
All you really got to know is two things
I've been on killing like (that), man this ain't right (back)
To the bottom of the food chain (food chain)
I've been on my business like that, ain't no win, in spite
Back, ain't a problem for a new name (new name)
I've been gone a minute, right back
[Boom our ceilings?] like [trap?], now it's all over the new springs (news frame)
Squatting on a [official?] ride next to the rebel in the chrome
Drop for release, opposite see pot (pot)
No copping the beat, copping a plea? Nah (nah)
Don't watch for your team, watch where you be, hah (hah)
Four Glock to his piece, cock and release, blah (blah)
Don't nobody care for specificity except in the city with Texas tea sippin heavily, lean proper
Ain't nobody special as deputies with an effigy to evidence or watching a ball and chain in a locker
Tie knots, dog no sniffing around
Comptroller, my comp go dumping like green collars
That work force three strikes, boys been disappearing, it was all back
Watch how you stepping to King [?]
