Chronic.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Huh? What?
That's a shift ooh
ooh
That's a shift ooh
Ay
I kept it lit when I picked up the torch
I do da dash got my foot on floor
Put it to use if you drawin a sword
What got you shook up ? you lookin alarmed
I hit my knees and I pray to the lord
Don’t skip over me if you gave to us all
Alla you rappers the same buncha homonyms
I am the greatest and I need acknowledgement
I blew the flame out my mouth on the torch
Body to big got my foot out the door
Goodness I’m cute I should win an award
It’s been a minute since I been employed
ain’t about business I’m hittin ignore
I heard yo song and it had me on snore
I don’t do this to get me a reward
I cause a shift everytime I make noise
Verse 1
I did it I do I don’t do what I don’t
Like like little Uzi I do what I want
YSL livin’ no yves st Laurent
Stonin’ so much I could sign to young thug
Don’t know how you got it
Got mine out the mud
I took a L my shit was a dub
They turned they back when I thought it was love
I couldn’t move cuz I ain’t had no plug
This ain’t no genre Of rap I’m just rappin my rap the way I feel i wanna rap
You niggas never had style to be claiming a style
like You actually father’d that
Y’all don’t be usin ya mind so I ain’t got no time
To actually bother that
Muhfucka won’t give u a dime when you down on your grind
When you up they want all it back
Did too much just to fall flat
Low stream counts and endless callbacks
No home runs I lacked the ballbat
I came in standing had to crawl back
I took the lashes and I took the pain
I was the fire that lived in the rain
Nothing could bury me
No one could tame
You hear the echo that follow my name
Most certainly
Can’t none of it burden me
there’s no emergency
still I get shit done with an urgency
Forgotten Son
The Forgotten one
I’ve been comin
How a comet comes
And by the time that I get done
We been raised up a whole new generation
Of soldiers Leading children of the sun
And that’s word
Chorus
I kept it lit when I picked up the torch
I do da dash got my foot on floor
Put it to use if you drawin a sword
What got you shook up ? you lookin alarmed
I hit my knees and I pray to the lord
Don’t skip over me if you gave to us all
Alla you rappers the same buncha homonyms
I am the greatest and I need acknowledgement
I blew the flame out my mouth on the torch
Body to big got my foot out the door
Goodness I’m cute I should win an award
It’s been a minute since I been employed
It ain’t about business I’m hittin ignore
I heard yo song and it had me on snore
I don’t do this to get me a reward
I cause a shift everytime I make noise
Verse 2
Run up on me if you want and get slaughtered
Nobodies son but forever the father
I had to build it I planned and i plotted
Keepin’ it movin’ while teaching my daughter
Screamin “hallelujah” in my own church
I don’t need a feat I do my own verse
Marching to the beat I got my own version
Raise it up since a seed it was so worth it
I’m so charged I got my battery back
You look like you need a new battery pack
If I close the door then that’ll be that
You know issa fact as a matter of fact
You say that it’s that I don’t trip offa that
Cuz I know you niggas know better then that
If I send it up it’ll never be back
Somebody asked “where my enemies at?”
I don’t got none I ain’t got time
I hope you got yours cuz I got mine
It ain’t all good we are not fine
Yea we quarantined but we outside
Real nigga peep the outline
All my stars shine we don’t outshine
It’d be real wise not to doubt mine
Imma come see a nigga bout mine
Poppin’ shit
Not a naan one of you stoppin shit
I don’t give a fuck if I’m popular
I am the goat and it’s obvious
Alla my shooters is out the gym
I tell them to move they demolish shit
With the slayin I’m remaining anonymous
I’m smoother then nails with the polishin’
You know it’s bout to shift
Chorus
I kept it lit when I picked up the torch
I do da dash got my foot on floor
Put it to use if you drawin a sword
What got you shook up ? you lookin alarmed
I hit my knees and I pray to the lord
Don’t skip over me if you gave to us all
Alla you rappers the same buncha homonyms
I am the greatest and I need acknowledgement
I blew the flame out my mouth on the torch
Body to big got my foot out the door
Goodness I’m cute I should win an award
It’s been a minute since I been employed
ain’t about business I’m hittin ignore
I heard yo song and it had me on snore
I don’t do this to get me a reward
I cause a shift everytime I make noise
