[Intro]
This kid nearly made me choke on my chicken goujon roll when I heard his fucking Lobotomy verse

[Hook]
They been tryna kill me but I never ever die
I don’t take advice from feens workin’ nine to five
Formulaic with their bullshit, I cannot describe
Perforating rhymes outta my ambitious mind
(Ayy)
They been tryna kill me but I never ever die
I don’t take advice from feens workin’ nine to five
Formulaic with their bullshit, I cannot describe
Perforating rhymes outta my ambitious mind

[Verse]
Do you believe in their greed, nah
Do you believe in your seed, nah
Do you believe in them cheering you on, whenever they see you succeed, ah
Fuck your sympathy, uh, uh, fuck your bigotry, uh, uh
Why the fuck are you acting finicky, my stupidity, liability, finally getting to my epiphany, uh uh
I don’t ever dare, to feel complacent
Shit so bare, my heart is racing
I’m adjacent, I’m dominating, and this a statement
This my letter to people fakin’, I’m Ronald Reagan, I’m contemplating my greatness
I’m abrasive, I’m mistaken, I’m slept on, but they’ll awaken
Don’t believe in, faithless pagans, look at my vision and try to break it
People talk shit in conversation, I don’t hear 'cause I’m subjacent
Wannabe logic, with his flannel, and his glasses, bomber jacket
Please just drop it, oh just stop it, awkward prick, when you start rappin,’
Fuck he’s snappin,’ fuck he’s snappin' I cannot believe this happen
Woo
I wonder what happen, can’t believe it’s true
Someone writes for him, he cannot be good uh
I’m a loaded gun, I trigger and ya run
Realize, what ya done, and it’s done, done, done
I’m number one and, you’re Pac none
Not two or three, you know sequels are dumb
I supply the scheme, uh, conquer my dream, nuh
Coldest Irish rapper in 2019
It’s been hell of a trek, might buy a star and step back
Living a sweet life, calm down, ‘fore you get decked
I know

[Hook]
They been tryna kill me but I never ever die
I don’t take advice from feens workin’ nine to five
Formulaic with their bullshit, I cannot describe
Perforating rhymes outta my ambitious mind
(Ayy)
They been tryna kill me but I never ever die
I don’t take advice from feens workin’ nine to five
Formulaic with their bullshit, I cannot describe
Perforating rhymes outta my ambitious mind

[Verse]
I’m not a killer, but don’t push me
Do not find thrill in drugs, or pussy
I do not need you, tryna judge me
When I prove you wrong, don’t tell me you love me
That you always support me, you put nothin’ above me, you see
I’ve gotten in check, but trust, I’ll make you bounce
So get the fuck, out my house, get the fuck, out my temple
My head’s in ache, I’m resentful and I’m spiteful and I’m vengeful I’m a nice guy and I’m respectful, kinda sensible, and just a little temperamental hah
Yes I been blocking the greed
Ready to flourish the seed
Feeling buried, I am in need, securing my bag with this deed
Praying to god and I plead, give me the strength that I need
Overcome this shit that’s been blocking me, ayy

[Hook]
They been tryna kill me but I never ever die
I don’t take advice from feens workin’ nine to five
Formulaic with their bullshit, I cannot describe
Perforating rhymes outta my ambitious mind
(Ayy)
They been tryna kill me but I never ever die
I don’t take advice from feens workin’ nine to five
Formulaic with their bullshit, I cannot describe
Perforating rhymes outta my ambitious mind
