Visions
(dc) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
This beat got me excited so take notes as I write this
Brain on another level psychic, I'm a superhero you a sidekick
I promise when I finish rhymin' you'll remember me like the Titans
Running on the track with the nasty flow, try to steal my bars you can't jack me though
Cuz I'm way too fast like a athlete goes, I'm like Usain ain't nobody pass me though
Tryna face me but you got acne though, you think you real but your act is old
Your whole city can't hold me, that's Ryan Lewis & Macklemore
So when you rap I'm in the back bored, this beats a feast I'ma need to eat
I got punch lines like Hi-C and I write hooks like Canelo
Cross you up like Kyrie and I fire shots like Carmelo
Flow is so cold you can say that it's frozen
You know I'ma score like I play for the Trojans
Get up out my zone run through anyone opposin'
Let me anywhere near a hot beat and I'ma go explode it
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
They tryna knock me down
They tryna come for my spot
They sneak diss on the low
But I can't see em from the top
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
They tryna knock me down
They tryna come for my spot
They sneak diss on the low
But I can't see em from the top
I'm blocking out these haters, they keep taking these shots
They don't know I'm Mutombo, every time they shoot it get blocked
My brain got a membrane around it, my skin is thicker than concrete
Sticks and stones they ain't breaking my bones cuz I fire shots back like I'm Ali
Shoot from the hip when I empty the clip and that's figurative I ain't snatchin' no souls
Spit with the sickness it's giving you syphillis with the quickness how I blast metaphors
I'm a fabric store, I never run out of material, a Logic Pro no fruity loops no cereal
But I'm still a killer when I'm lyrical, I been living in the fast lane cuz I grew up on Imperial
These haters getting violent, they tryna beat me into silence
They don't know I'm a pilot, way too high to see em I'm flyin'
I'm the captain of hooks I'm a pirate, y'all get capped and hooked on the Pyrex
That hating ain't good for your brain, that love I suggest you try it
Grind on my mind so I got the blind fold
Always on my eyes every time that I go
Haters outside I can't hear em I snore
Wanna see me drop down put the heat to my crown, never that boy I'm on
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
They tryna knock me down
They tryna come for my spot
They sneak diss on the low
But I can't see em from the top
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
They tryna knock me down
They tryna come for my spot
They sneak diss on the low
But I can't see em from the top
You don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
This is the last call
For alcohol and beer, yeah
Raise your cup in the air
It's time to make a toast
For the ones that ain't here
I'm never letting you go, no
This is for the 805, 831 to the 510
504 to the 213, I don't even know your area code
You don't even know my phone number, 831 wait stop right there
I'm not Mike Jones or the homie Slim, I need a gold watch and a shiny grill
You can cop one from Paul Wall, the bling lifestyle goes on and on
I'm not Lil Wayne or Lil Jon, but whip dreadlocks I'm the hipster Bob
Young Bob Marley got a nappy fro, it's gnarly how I'm supernatural
I need a full costume with a cape and all, I'ma do it big like Thor and Hulk
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
They tryna knock me down
They tryna come for my spot
They sneak diss on the low
But I can't see em from the top
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
I'm blocking out these haters
Can't see these invaders
They tryna knock me down
They tryna come for my spot
They sneak diss on the low
But I can't see em from the top
