Holy Grail
PAYCHECK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking that I'm crazy, I'm a maniac
How many Pacs I got to pack
To prove to y'all rappers that ya s*** is so wack
And thats a fact, yo
Soon as I hop on the mic then you know it's unstable
Sick with the syllables
Leave the booth, pray more
Somebody grab the claymore
Stop being serious
What you actin' cray for?
Should be readin' bout Oedipus
But instead I'm gettin this
Off my chest, yea somebody get the sedatives
Looking at my life, and I'm lookin at the moves
And I'm boutta make a living while I'm rappin' bout the truth
And the haters comin' back
Cause they thinkin' that we cool
But the moment that I turn around
They snakin in the booth
And they fakin in the booth
While they takin in the booze
Biggest fear in my life
Knowin that I'll never lose
What I have, no I can't take an L
Broke into the rap game, now it's a hell
And and if anybody wanna take the mic from me
You better run from me
You cannot hide from me
Don't lie to me
This is right for me
Don't challenge me
You don't ride for me
Imma come into the stu, and I spit 4 bars
That are better than your whole damn tape, and that's slight for me
O-oh
This world gonn knock you down
But you gotta stay strong
Cause after the ashes gone
We gonna rise above them all
Cause prides before a fall
And now we flexing this appall
Yeah we got the holy grail
I'm a prodigy
You lookin odd to me
And anybody wanna tell me different got to be
On something that they know that they ain't ought to be
Tellin me they gonna top me but I'm hard to beat
They say, "why you talking high pitched?"
Oh it's cause I have two
Balls and they haven't dropped yet
It's the sad truth
Nice with the flow
You devicin it hoe
Ask me why they call me paycheck
Cause I'm buyin out the store
Whatchu rapping for?
Are you tryna make a difference
Or just clap a *****
Sorry that I had to say that
Still respect all women
Shoutout to my hunnid fans
Chillin out in Britain
Imma visit real soon
This is just the beginning
Of a whole new legacy
Bout how I been winnin
Rack on a track
Just to keep that ish spinning
Gonna do this til I die
Never gonna stop spitting
O-oh
This world gonn knock you down
But you gotta stay strong
Cause after the ashes gone
We gonna rise above them all
Cause prides before a fall
And now we flexing this appall
Yeah we got the holy grail
O-oh
This world gonn knock you down
But you gotta stay strong
Cause after the ashes gone
We gonna rise above them all
Cause prides before a fall
And now we flexing this appall

This world gonn knock you down
But you gotta stay strong
Cause after the ashes gone
We gonna rise above them all
Cause prides before a fall

In "Holy Grail" by PAYCHECK, the rapper addresses his competition in the rap game, boasting his skills and owning his unique style. He confidently proclaims himself a maniac while questioning the sanity of his rivals, challenging them to step up their game to match his level of ability. He utilizes a play on words, declaring that his rap flow is "unstable" and that he is "sick with the syllables". He also references the Greek myth of Oedipus, the importance of reading, and the fear of never losing his success. In the chorus, PAYCHECK encourages listeners to stay strong, rise above adversity, and keep moving forward.

There were two worms that I was devastated when they were taken off the market. The auger tail worms, and the manipulator worm. These two were deadly.
