Crime Waves

Microwave dinner and dessert, what you get?

 

Twenty-one years of karma on a collect

 

On a collect call, made me collect checks

 

I came in the neck, y'all niggas was next

 

Y'all fell, couldn't get up, talkin' about pushin' it

 

Never pushed a gram of nothin', talkin' about cookin' it

 

Never heard the bacon sizzlin', no one took a risk

 

Now you gotta face your life and you don't wanna look at it

 

I left the dope game, same as the rap game

 

Both made me feel boxed in and trapped in

 

Gettin' harassed by my fam, that's what's happenin'

 

Said they was bloods, now they lookin' like crabs, then

 

Said they was fam, now they lookin' like rats, man

 

All the fake love, I ain't feelin' attached, man

 

Ain't no applause for the boy, all the claps, man

 

Ain't from the hands, it's from the MACs and the straps, damn

 

I mean, uh, all these records in the trunk

 

Can't wait to let 'em go, now the waiting's all done

 

There's plenty room for everyone and everyone will come

 

Once they heard the skills on the boy, he got some

 

All the game I done gained, I lost some

 

Lost my sanity, gained some, lost some

 

Found the vanity, sold some, bought some

 

They said they like the music, so I brought some

 

All the fans wanna know what it's costin'

 

I said, "Just ask and I'll bring it to your doorstep"

 

Once the record drops, don't ask, get your order

 

Get the supply to the man, I got 'em hoarse, yeah

 

The same hoarse voice that told me I wouldn't be shit

 

Told me I couldn't be it, my voice told me to keep this

 

My future told me to keep it

 

Look what happened when I kept it, the Lord bless it

 

When you stay true to the self and don't stress it

 

People come around to help, they won't let it

 

People come around to help and gon' bless it

 

We was born with the gifts, so why stress it?

 

So why test it? Just invest it

 

I do the introspectin', I never flex
