(verse 1)
Look at my rhymes as an inside perspective on the book of revival
Now, look at my rivals, wow
Sipping on some chilly Patron, the spliff is long, sparked
On target like I'm flicking lawn darts
I'm certainly much older now I sit and drop art
When serving it up colder than a Dippin' Dotz cart
That vanilla swirl, on the half shell, hella pearls
Since I turned 12, lost motive to respect the world
Maybe I been crazy thinking I'm the one that's different
Cuz no matter what it's feeling like there's something missing
I could bring some relentless-type hungry spittin'
Maybe I'll just swing for the fences like Sonny Liston
Shut down your comedy show. You doing funny business
Edi the greatest and there ain't nobody fucking with him

[chorus]
If you ain't got the pain
And ain't got the pen
And ain't got the heart
Then why do you do it?
If you ain't got the soul
And ain't got the flow
And ain't got the voice
Then why do you do it?
If you ain't got the bark and ain't got the bite
And ain't got the fight
Then why do you do it?
I just want some answers, "Why?"
If you asking the same question hold yo hands up high


(verse 2)
(ayo I) Mimicked the greatest then I snatch the baton
So now I'm, itching to make it whether rapping on songs
Or else I'm, getting frustrated with this nine to five
Had it so long that I forget to keep cash in my palm
It's ironic ain't it? I'm cutting my ties
Just watching, waiting, God and Satan struggle inside
My conscious waking mind. Made the observation I'm
Constantly sedated so I can't jump into line, it's kinda hard
But it makes it worth chasing though
Blaze a fern of that haze and burn through an 8th of dro
Another day, another pocket of loose change
Tryna make it work but I'm caught in the loop-game
Fire up the purp with the blue flame
Bury the hatchet, carry the gadget like, Bruce Wayne
Dialect: universal. Encounters of the third kind
Versatile. Live enough to kill you with my worst line
Take it personal. But don't ask me to reverse time
Fuckers got trust funds, sonny I earned mine
