ain't cut from that cloth

[Intro]

He ain't come from that cloth

He ain't cut from that cloth

 

[Verse]

My people need freedom like air to breathe

Police like,

"Come with me, get the cuffs, please"

I need a villa out in the southeast

Like we hit the seven digits on a South Beach

I’m on the couch seats

I’m in the count suite

am a master, and I got rap on a house leash

I told it, "Count sheep"

And the mic said, "Count me in"

I can't get it out of me

My face in the newspaper like a proud geek

And the wolves and the sheep

I let 'em all weep

And then they all speak

Haters ain’t creative

They just mock me

I’m a walking piece of art

But I’m not street

I know they don’t want me to take off

They tryna make sure I stay off

They want me gone, want me way off

But I can't get the wave off

Too many people gettin' paid off

You can’t say that I ain’t paid y’all

You can never say I played y’all

Too many people gettin' paid off

You can’t say that I ain’t paid y’all

You can never say I played y’all

That’s my word, and I’ma stand on it

And I’m a big dog, I got a plan for it

But I still love the homies in the jam for it

 

My flow’s dirty like some laundry (Uh)

And when I rhyme, I’m the illest in the country

It’s a wrap for these rappers—mummy

My haters keep talkin’, but it’s funny

Hate when people think they know me

Or people think they control me

I’m really like, "Bro, what is you hopin’?"

My life’s a movie, so go and get the stubs

My flow is dirty like the tub

I’m comin’ for my roses—bud

God bless me, not 'cause I sneezed

But to free me from all my enemies and people who envy me

A beast on a beat, but this ain’t Beat It

Hate the things I love—the irony

I got my stripes like a tiger

They want my features for a fee

My name’s in their mouth—guess that’s why their teeth hurt

And now my words really are a hazard

My lines too ill like my health’s bad

So watch me blow up—put that on my ad-libs

Man—

God bless me, not 'cause I sneezed

But to free me from all my enemies and people who envy me

 

 

[Verse]

Self-portrait like the Mona Lisa

I turn the page, see a masterpiece in it

If rest is needed, then I best believe it

I’m not a rapper, I’m the whole arena

So many feelings, I don’t know what to do with 'em

Like in a band, I’m just playing my instrument

A kid that ain’t ever fit in

So when you see me, just call me the incident

 

I got a—

I got a—

I got a rocket in my pocket

I’m the topic, I don’t need it, but I got it

I’m a faucet, I’ma top it

 

Yeah—

I’m like the breeze, I’m like the sea

I’m like the ocean, I’m like the trees

I’m like the bees, I’m like the roses

Self-portrait like the Mona Lisa

I turn the page, see a masterpiece in it

If rest is needed, then I best believe it

I’m not a rapper, I’m the whole arena

 

If I was a bartender, you would just order shots

If I was the pilot, you would just board the flight

If I was a hustler, you would just call the shots

If I was the flower, you would just watch me thrive

I’m too good to be on any top fifty

Got more classics than all of y’all put together

Belly fat enough to fit four billion in it

Need a belly tuck ‘cause I got four billion with me

Call me Chubby Checker ‘cause the checkers game

You know what? I got the checker frame

It could all be so simple

But it stays the same

Even with the taxman, I got just the same

If I was a rookie, you’d be the first to watch

If I was the law, you would just break the locks

I could never believe a thing that they said to me

Ain't no such thing as keeping the same energy

 

You can't tell me nothin'

I been the same from the start

I'm who your favorite's afraid of

My homie turn into foes

And the things that I hated

Turn into things that I loved

I'm everything that I hated

And

Man

I can't make this up

 

 

[Verse]

I’m the architect

Building castles out of doubt

Got Picasso in my veins

Brush the pain

Let it out

Turn my scars into art

Yeah I’m painting my fears

I’m the remix of tomorrow

Y’all stuck on last year

 

I'm the architect building dreams in my own dome

Made a throne from the rubble now I call it home

They throw shade but I wear it like a Gucci coat

Stay afloat

Iceberg sharp

I’m the one who wrote

 

Mirror mirror on the wall

Yeah I broke you twice

Couldn't handle my reflection

Too cold like ice

Call me Tesla

I spark where the wires fray

While they follow maps

I invent the way

 

Even my new shoes are throwbacks

Step into the party in a thirty-four jersey and a blowout

Your dreams are my throwaways

I spit sick, you spit okay

I give a flick, you blow away

You ain't the apple of my eye, you my Dole tray

My DNA double helix is gold plated

I'm double your helix, I made two of you, rotate it

If I was you, I'd take it, my time is too sacred

These ladies love Aryeh like they want my last name

The art of life imitates death

And I can make a whole set of poker cards with your last breath

 

Well, I thought I could resist rap, but now I know

It's like tryna keep the band together when I gotta go solo

It's like tryna put the toothpaste back in the tube

It's like breakin' into Alcatraz without a plan to

I'm on another latitude, what's your attitude?

Bring your buddies to the parley, this a rendezvous

Ditch the padlock, she love when the watch brand new

But the homies at the door like they the landlord

I've been all around the world, this is my plan, boy

Now it's time to check the balance on the credit card

 

They tryna silence my opinions, I'm the opposition

I'm puttin' them in submission

But how can I be the judge when I'm the one in prison?

How can I be the priest when I'm the one confessin'?

How can I be the king when I'm the one in exile?

How can I be the G.O.A.T. when I'm the one with these?

 

Mr. Make in the building, construction is comin'

Bust a rhyme and flipmode, I just keep it comin'

Aryeh turned 21, Aryeh kept runnin'

ain't got a ghostwriter, but this is a lot of writing

poem so good, I hope I keeps writin'

Aryeh writes left-handed, ain't no one left

One shot, he got the one, ain't no one else

If I wasn't with myself, I'd be somebody else

Get it how you live it, I live in the moment

Life on the edge, one foot off the ledge

Gotta find your edge, or the world'll find it for ya

He just talk a lotta crap, don't nobody ignore him

It's all in the wording, it's all how you word it

How you let him out the cell? They tryna word it

At the table with a killer, I got the word in

Don't play it how it is, he played it how it wasn't

One false move, one bullet, it's all it wasn't

That's the bullet I dodged, I will not be shot

Glock 45, hit a target, will not be Glock

Turo in the buildin', just as easy as jay z

All eyes on me, then who else it could be?

Blow a mind with a line, like I'm Usain

Can't take what I don't got, I got two brains

Out the jungle with the lines, in the sky with the planes
