Off My Chest
Knox Hill Lyrics

Paranormal activity, active with the actions in my brain
My mind is constantly occupied with extraordinary thoughts and ideas.

Actively I'm tracking apparitions in my veins
I'm always trying to bring to light the hidden emotions and feelings inside me.

Check my swing, ghost writers, I'm a lefty
I'm in a completely different lane when it comes to my flow and my writing compared to other rappers.

Y'all brag about your flow, I'm ghost riding on a jet ski
I have so much confidence in my flow that it's like I'm performing stunts on a jet ski without any hands.

Switch hitter Mickey Mantle in his prime in the Bronx
I'm versatile like Mickey Mantle during his prime with the Yankees in the Bronx.

Dropping bomb after bomb like B-29 on a Nagasaki dawn
I'm lyrically destroying my competition as if I were bombing them like a B-29 on the dawn of Nagasaki.

No tattoos, I bare arms
I don't have to be covered in tattoos to show the strength of my artistry.

Spill your Sake on these bars
My lyrics are so strong that it can make you spill your drink in excitement.

The ARs like Tamagotchi
I have a close connection to my weapons, like one would have to their Tamagotchi.

Hip strapped go Kawasaki
I'm always ready to ride and roll out like a Kawasaki bike at any moment.

Spin your wheel, that's Yamasaki
I move forward regardless of the obstacles in my way, just like a motorcycle racer would spin their wheel to power through a turn.

Do the math, I'm Fibonacci
My creativity, just like the Fibonacci sequence, is a never-ending cycle of growth and expansion.

You zeroes, I'm the one
I stand out amongst those who don't put in the same effort and work that I do in my craft.

One trigger, two bullets, three millimeters
I'm so accurate with my shooting that I only need one trigger for two bullets to hit my intended target within three millimeters of each other.

Five bullies laid dead, that means two
I took out five people who tried to mess with me, leaving only two who were able to recognize my power and strength.

I don't really do it for you keyboard kids, your types to type rap
I'm not here to impress those who think they know how to rap just because they spend time on a keyboard typing out lyrics.

When I rap, that's how I live
My lyrics and my artistry is a reflection of my real life experiences and struggles.

I was raised in PG, if you don't know it, look it up
I grew up in Prince George's County, and if you don't know what that's like, then you need to educate yourself.

Some parental guidance needed with the cracks cooking up
There was a lot of danger and illegal activity going on around me while I was growing up, and it wasn't always a safe or healthy environment.

Hip-hop is what raised me, black people saved me
The culture of hip-hop and the black community gave me hope and purpose in life when I felt lost and alone.

But say he's a racist, he hates it
I hate being falsely accused of being racist when I strongly support the black community and I know firsthand the struggles they face.

And if you say it enough, it becomes what you ain't
Repeatedly being accused of something you're not can eventually lead to self-doubt and confusion.

And it stains on your brain every day
The trauma and pain of those false accusations can linger and affect your daily life.

In an age where too many die, I'm keeping lyricism alive
In a world where many rappers focus on glorifying violence, I'm trying to keep the focus on the artistry of lyricism.

Fishing rappers in a creek till we hit that mainstream and finally shift tides
I'm searching for talented up-and-coming rappers who may be overlooked, and I hope to help them make it to the mainstream so we can shift the focus back to real lyricism.

I got this off of my chest
This song is me venting about all the struggles and frustrations I've faced in my life and in the music industry.

So get the message while I DM
If you want to truly understand my perspective and what I'm about, listen to my music and pay attention to the messages I'm trying to convey.

Till you walk a mile in my shoes, I cut your NF'ing legs, paid my dues
Until you've gone through the same struggles and hardships as me, you have no right to judge me or my artistry.

Most of the dudes ain't gotta clue what I been through
Many people may not understand or relate to the hardships and struggles I faced in my life.

So listen here, this the type of soul you put a pen through
My music is raw and authentic, and it comes from a place of deep emotion and soul.

I just put the pen to my painted ink stains when I'm blown
I write my deepest emotions down on paper, and sometimes that only happens when I'm at my lowest points emotionally.

I don't do this for the fame, man I write this shit in love
I'm not chasing fame or success for the sake of it; I genuinely love and have a passion for the art of lyricism.

And when I do run outta lead, I'ma right this shit in blood
Even if I have to sacrifice and suffer for my art, I'll keep writing until my dying breath, because it's that important to me.

Word to Flam
Shoutout to my friend and collaborator Flam, who inspired and supported me on my journey.

Rest in piece
This is a final tribute to all those who have lost their lives in my community and in the world, and a reminder to never forget their memory.
