Bug Fights

I got a fucking story to tell right here

They let the fire hydrants off a quarter block down
When we walk 'round, when the cops 'round
When our music plays, when it's hot out
I do and say what I wanna do, I feel like 'Hawk now
Dropped out but still, these thoughts popped out
Manifested ill but it's 'Hawk talk now
No disrespect to 'Hawk's style, it's only natural
'Hawk's a cash cow, 'Hawk is assed out
Either way, I got his back, proud to say that loud
Let me say that now

So it happened, warm, windy evening Manhattan
Vulnerable battle vets gathered, started yackin'
Frantically asking, "But how?" We was the captains
When we fight, headlines follow, we need to start scrappin'
Gents, read your role, no stage to start actin'
All of a sudden, you wanna pick up, practice your passions
Toss your transactions, tweak up your tracking
There's really no tail ending, tale of a rat king
Besides, wouldn't wanna disturb a nest of rodents basking
Black out, same scents that sent the city rattling
Stirring swift, dodging the dark dashes
Scared pits in the laps, strapping
Not my news, you was glued, sprawled, macking, smacking
Cooling in the shade caught up counting your cash ins
Affixed by your rings, sufficed by your stacking
Should've been concerned with the cut of your trap
Angles, degrees, folds, creases of your wrappings
Always had a crooked swat, I was a student slacking
Said I didn't read enough books to bulge my backpackings
Guess I dropped out, hung a hat trick without hacking
Wasn't fitted a cap and gown but left the island laughing
Vibing, posting 'til my feet click clacking
Crumbling cobblestones over tar just tapping
I, Lennox, launch these lullabies to lull your lacking

Don't wear your honor like armor, that shit'll wear you down
Don't let what life taught you taunt you, embrace it now
Whether it's drawing or recording, whatever makes you proud
Let's not play around, amazing how you made it out
Don't wear your honor like armor, that shit'll wear you down
Don't let what life taught you taunt you, embrace it now
Whether it's drawing or recording, whatever makes you proud
Let's not play around, amazing how you made it out

Amazing how you made it out
Let's not play around, amazing how you made it out
Amazing how you made it out
