The Unorthodox
Mr. Lif Lyrics

Mic check, check check check
Lif is announcing his presence and preparing to deliver some fresh hip hop.

Here's some funky fresh hip hop shit for 3000
Lif is offering up some innovative and unconventional rap music for his fans.

Long after we've laid to waste all areas surrounding
Lif's music will outlast even post-apocalyptic ruins and desolation.

Bass pounding, souls jumping, and you're pumping your fist
Lif's music has a powerful, commanding presence that makes people want to dance and pump their fists in the air.

You've never heard a stiff body ripping like this
Lif's style is original and unlike anything else you've heard in hip hop before.

See I was stripped of my identity, conquered by the enemy
Lif has been through a struggle in which he was robbed of his individuality and overcome by external forces.

And now I'm faceless in the 21st century
Lif feels invisible and neglected in modern society, devoid of his former significance.

You may kind of vaguely remember me, or maybe not
Lif is not sure if people are even aware of his existence after being out of the public eye for so long.

What it Ted or was it Scott, homo sapien or robot?
Lif feels like he's lost his sense of self and doesn't know who he is anymore, or whether he's human or machine.

Serial number: aye carumba
Lif's identity has been reduced to nothing more than a product code, making him feel disposable and insignificant.

So you look at me real deep in my eyes and then wonder
Lif feels like people are scrutinizing him, searching for some sign of who he really is beneath his public persona.

Hold up, I still have important things to say
Despite feeling invisible and insignificant, Lif believes that his voice and perspective are still valuable and meaningful.

I go home and watch news after stagnating all day
Lif is frustrated with his lack of forward motion and growth, and uses news consumption as a way to expand his perspective.

Just press play, cool out sit back and relax
Lif wants his fans to take his music as a form of relief and comfort, a way to chill out and escape from the world.

And gobble up another earful of these undelivered raps
Lif's music is full of raw, unfiltered emotion that he's been holding onto and now wants to share with his audience.

And just think that perhaps what we think matters
Lif believes that the opinions and perspectives of individuals have the potential to shape society and effect important changes.

Delve into yourself and rediscover once forbidden data
Lif advocates for introspection as a way to unearth knowledge that's been hidden or repressed, and to better understand oneself.

I sat back, I drank beers, I shed tears
Lif took a break from public life, spent time drinking and reflecting, and allowed himself to express his emotions.

I react, I see traps, I eats raps such as kneecaps
Lif is constantly on guard and aware of potential threats or obstacles, using rap music as a source of sustenance and strength.

Bones by the barrel-full, great meal nigga, I'm rather full
Lif revels in his own success and growth as a musician, feeling fulfilled and satisfied with his accomplishments.

This section, digestion, blood rushes to intestines
Lif is figuratively digesting the world around him, taking inspiration from his surroundings and processing it internally.

When we met I left a negative impression
Lif feels like he's been misunderstood or judged unfairly by others in the music industry.

Yet another state of metamorphosis
Lif has undergone many transformations in his life and career, and is currently going through another period of change and growth.

I'm off keel, please pardon my awkwardness
Lif feels like he's not quite himself and is struggling to find his footing in this new chapter of his life and career.

Here, let me start with this: here's a hint like ????
Lif is about to share some cryptic, mysterious knowledge with his audience, offering a glimpse into his complex and enigmatic worldview.

Let's calculate what you think my mental net profit is

Patience, something I was forced to learn

My mind done went outside and fucked him up

You picked the wrong street nigga you're outta luck
