[Intro]
I paint a picture with the lines I stroke
They lost hope in ya'll niggas, so it's time I spoke
I'm the J57
I'm coming for the streets, if you understand me
The art of sole, feel like I'm on another planet
[Verse 1]
It has been a long time coming, ever since my father drew me
I knew that I would be something, the abundance of talents
I managed to perceive before I breath
Bit clear to me, I understand it, I'm granted
The life of art, the life I dream up in the dark
So then the light I spark arise of every two in which I thought
I would grow up to be, but hopefully the road I see
Would lead to greatness, so first I got to find the golden key
To rev the engine, the sector brain with no syringes
Open up the mind so first I got to disable the hinges
They block me out, I'm in the pen
I'm trying to picture something up your gold
No I'm never talking for the glitter
They reminisce on the essence I see myself spit
The same thing I found myself with
The same thing connecting us through vibrations, I know you felt this
Feel like someone hit the rail switch
We just some freight trains, afraid to run off track
I took my own route, now I'm never coming back
And that's a fact, in a universe full with opinions
So despicable, I'm ducking you internet minions
Your criticism ain't nothing more than a comet
You should calm it down, 'cause I'm still viewed as a comet
And Steelo was a shooting star
So if you seen him, you know you were going far
Now here we are
[Hook]
I've got more teeth than I've got family
But they still falling out, feel like God playin' me
I'm coming for the streets, if you understand me
The art of sole, feel like I'm on another planet
I've got more teeth than I've got family
But they still falling out, feel like God playin' me
I'm coming for the streets, if you understand me
The art of sole, feel like I'm on another planet
[Verse 2]
This is the moment I'm breaking my inhibition
Rejoicing the villain to know I fit with the description
I've done reflection when I'm looking up
You stand in front your mirror, do you see the same one?
We just begun this dynasty so they won't be subside to me
I swear to God, I'm breaking through the tyrannies
To freelance a free man
So as I vividly paint you niggas my motion picture
I'm conjuring longevity with this potion Elixir
But momma told me to finish my food first, "You right"
So my dinner plate filling up after every bite
This appetite will make these wack rap niggas half as nice
Now double the work, you can get the bragging rights
To overshadow where I shine
But we both know, The Pros never be the cons, we a different kind
Even if you missed a line you won't miss my prime
This is Bombs Over Baghdad mixed with Vietnam
Saddam Hussein, two tanks of propane won't blow you niggas up
I am Cobain, fuck what you see in front
'Cause a wise man will never speak
You just showing too much December
Dry your seed up before you could even grow it
A natural poet, on a road to entourages of the chosen
I'm started to grow my conscience, unlocking up every solar
Side, I used to conquer my life
But this a write to angel to momma, "Your son will still arrive"
[Hook]
I've got more teeth than I've got family
But they still falling out, feel like God playin' me
I'm coming for the streets, if you understand me
The art of sole, feel like I'm on another planet
I've got more teeth than I've got family
But they still falling out, feel like God playin' me
I'm coming for the streets, if you understand me
The art of sole, feel like I'm on another planet
[Outro]

I paint a picture with the lines I stroke
They lost hope in ya'll niggas, so it's time I spoke
I paint a picture with the lines I stroke
They lost hope in ya'll niggas, so it's time I spoke, nigga
I paint a picture with the lines I stroke
They lost hope in ya'll niggas, so it's time I spoke
I'm the J57
I'm coming for the streets, if you understand me
The art of sole, feel like I'm on another planet
