Energy
X-Terior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shit happens
It just so happen that im with the shits
Ya manz talking bands it's more like a paper clip
Clutch the mic with an iron grip
Archimedes claw
In awe they jump shit
The way that man spit I swear he needs iron lip
The way the beat hits It match the pulse behind my ribs
These new kids' want notoriety over the wealth
They on Instagram steady snitching on they selves
Switching up on me u just really played your self
Tryna rent out the louvre and move like Hov and B
The Mona Lisa aint got nothing on my queen
Suntzu of the team
Slave masters in my jeans
The young god
Above the Instagram talk
Yall simple I've evolved
Win through results
Everything great you ever saw all Started with a thought
Energy, energy You speak to me
You tell who is meant for me
You tell me what I need to see
Energy, energy You speak to me
You tell who is meant for me
You tell me what I need to see
You can't be broke and have pride
The two don't go well together
As long as the moon pulls tides
Feeling like Maya still I rise
You outside with nothing to show for it
Cross my hurt and burn my composition
On a mission to elevate my position
Got Distracted by these chickens
Had to regain focus, cause people moving funny
And it's something in my tummy, tell me to keep it on me
Angel numbers
The beats hunger I feed them ears to hold them over
In your eyes like the floaters
The soul controller
Every cell in my body committed to get it
My pen is acidic burn every rapper in the city
The biggest part of me is the part you'll never see me
Nonphysical Visualize success Manifest to the material
Beyond the ethereal




It's a snake eat snake world
I was born curled, but I'll leave this bitch twirled
