Stay back

(Verse 1)

Steppin' into the metaverse in my Meta merch

Don't compare me to lesser words I left the Earth

Never stressed my success was the best revenge

Playin' chess level set let's address the trends

I ain't scared to share confessions a rare discretion

Felt lost 'til I saw where my spare was headed

Sicker than a 24-karat dentist

Don't stare 'less you wear a pair of lenses

It's the steely the spilly the silly soul

The serial syllable killer that's still in control

Finesse the fresh flesh out of the tenements

Befriend 'em then I start to defend 'em like veterans

I may not be the dopest

But I bet I float the closest to the ocean

Rap about stuff now that's just cliché

Rappers doin' anything to look cool these days

Nowadays it seem like everyone a tough guy

Or at least got the white boy with 'em from Topanga

I guess that make me the freshest on the scene

'Cause I'm the one on your screen with the facts like screen

Tryna tell 'em there's a world beyond money cars and fiends

We could be kings and queens but they'd rather hear a scheme

To get rich quick and pay your way to the top

But how you gon' do that when your core still not

Strong enough better be more than tough

This industry chew you up and spit you out like snuff

Then you left to walk around on a burnt-up

Barren wasteland lookin' down and dejected

So instead I'd rather just rap on a beat

For free and help you gain knowledge with my speech

Hopin' you stay connected to yourself and the source

And run your own race 'cause life is a marathon course

No remorse

Too busy to slow down for sleep and rest

Or give it a rest

My whole self at a desk I wrote the rest

Of all these little wavy ideas like a treble clef

Might never get a rest

Might never get to rest but I can rest assured

Once I kick the bucket there's no doubleheader

I came and I went

I'm not too sure what to do next but I'm all in like I'm on deck

Like an Oedipus complex

And I might be out of my mind but I got an open mind

We were waiting for the stars to align

And then we saw 'em fall like the stock market

That was before we saw the stock in ourselves

And started acting like the World Cup

A lot of foul stuff

Most times I could care less

But there's a lot of things that are hard to care for

You and I are not an item

And if we're not an item then why do I get compared to you

It's like a paradox

Now I'm gettin' parodized now I'm gettin' parodied

I'm a parent of two and you don't wanna play

I just wanna play a part I just wanna play my part

Now we don't know where to start

Now we gotta part ways

But it's hard to part ways when you're a part of my heart

We were young and in love like we never been loved before

Now we're in the same boat

I put the game on the map and still lost my way

I know I lost my way

But even lost people find a way

All you gotta do is look for a way

Then I looked away

And then the Moon looked at the Earth and asked

What's this life worth
