Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Godspeed
- ///verse 1 (loop the instrumental for full song)
- went under when the niggas said the sound was too demanding
- came back with the kind of bars that restructure understanding
- fourteen drafts of ugly built the one worth reprimanding
- every comfortable rapper with the current I been landing
- bars in aint the shallow end, yall swimming where im standing
- mic check, mic check, who stands up?
- but yall still dont know what im commanding
- lost my mind for 2 days, came back reprimanding
- every version of myself that settled, now im expanding
- past the zip code of my ceiling, past the reprimanding
- voices of the adequate, the session I been handling
- nightly built a catalog thats damn near too outstanding
- for the format, but the format bends when you been withstanding
- pressure long enough, the diamond dont need reprimanding
- into shape, it just needs time and weight, I been withstanding
- both and what emerged is something nobodys been understanding
- yet, give it time, the timings remarkable, outstanding
- ///hook
- diamond in the rough cut, shining through the dark days
- timing so remarkable its functioning in Gods ways
- anything is possible, I promised on my hardest days
- now watch me burn the building down and build it back in half the haze
- ///verse 2
- niggas was fronting at the showcase, now they all quoting
- the verses back at me verbatim, funny how the boating
- changes when the tide do, when I was out floating
- in the uncharted they were comfortable, promoting
- adequate as excellent, the culture was demoting
- its own standard and I watched it while I was devoting
- every session to the opposite, the slow eroding
- of the comfortable in my own work, the locomotive
- of the difficult kept moving, kept reloading
- every bar with something earned, the overcoating
- fell off and what remained was raw enough, corroding
- every lesser version of the craft aka my antidoting
- of the mumble era wasnt loud, it was the noting
- of the difference between volume and the goat invoking
- silence of a bar that lands, I heard the quoting
- unstoppable when the alignment hits divinely
- rebellion mixed with ali living somewhere deep inside me
- old soul, every session came and found me
- niggas that was fronting now be all around me
- funny how I beat the odds so oddly
- dropped the bombs so calmly
- never chased the shit, it found me
- ///verse 3
- let me play off this imitation;
- this is mumble rap extermination, Godly interpolation
- this the kind of bar that makes the top five conversation
- shift entirely, fuck a shoutout, fuck a goats nomination
- from a room of people grading with the wrong calibration
- took it to the basement of the craft, the excavation
- of the actual beneath the decorated, the foundation
- nobody sees is what im building, the damnation
- of the surface only rapper is the slow revelation
- that the structure wasnt there and my retaliation
- against the comfortable is every single conjugation
- of the difficult made natural, the concentration
- of a thousand sessions into one clean demonstration
- of what rap becomes when someone treats it like salvation
- not a shortcut, this is scripture, this is consecration
- of the mic, and yall been treating it like decoration
