Knowledge of Self

I been lookin within and seen a lotta shit
Spread the fire, hard to hold back, because I'm always lit
Found the truth, it felt like a noose till I recorded it
All night was playing it back until I'm bored of it
Saw my first brick in high school, how they afforded it
I never asked, flipping the past, so you absorbing it
Low cash, stick to the task, I need a quarter zip
OG, I light then I pass, and take another trip
What u need, hitting the store, dodging the law again
Past ways haunted my steps I had to crawl again
Dark pit deep in my soul avoided falling in
I been there before so I know right now its hard to win
I'm picking up, sending it up like they was bargaining
And I every time I'm hearing em bluff, I know its margarine
So I just sit back in the Udio on the usual
Smoking so loud, they talk is always mutable

Yo, life is like a spiral, don't repeat but it resembles
The situation similar, I sketched it with my pencil
In my mental found knowledge of self, we all searching
In the booth working, my nigga, that's for certain
Yo, life is like a spiral, don't repeat but it resembles
The situation similar, I sketched it with my pencil
In my mental found knowledge of self, we all searching
In the booth working, my nigga, that's for certain, yo

I told my story to the mic and got some feedback
I weaved these raps together, fabric on the floor mat
Extravagant rugs you need a plug to get plugged in
I'm plugged in, the booth is where I carry out my functions
Instructions is frivolous, I'm gifted with this spitting shit
Parameters irrelevant whenever I find words to flip
And shawty said she love my shit, similar to cigarettes
I think that bitch addicted, but I can't point fingers
I was sent to earth to carry out my mission, young Goku
I wrote rhymes in future times, the tongues was still old school
We rolled through in Black coupes from the Cold War
The Lincoln, Continentals, long body, suicide doors
It pours when it rains but I don't fuck with umbrellas
To find success sometimes you gotta navigate through the failures
Yo, it pours when it rains but I don't fuck with umbrellas
To find success sometimes you gotta navigate through the failures

Yo, life is like a spiral, don't repeat but it resembles
The situation similar, I sketched it with my pencil
In my mental found knowledge of self, we all searching
In the booth working, my nigga, that's for certain
Yo, life is like a spiral, don't repeat but it resembles
The situation similar, I sketched it with my pencil
In my mental found knowledge of self, we all searching
