Substiction

[Verse 1: Future]

I'm stainless

Tethered by earth and flame

Mixed with time and pain

Ingrained with higher purpose know the worth of my name

And the product I done came with

Not blameless for the straps and the dope that I hold

The sacks that I sold

Kept my baby out the cold and her belly full of food

And her back never lacking of clothes

This game is so grimy it's impossible to win with your innocence intact

Matter of fact it deranges

The person that you wanted to remain intrinsically changes

 

[Hook: Rihanna]

I have in my mind just thinkin' that it's really posed in the time

I never felt so bad when I saw you

You were my first substiction

I was your substiction

We were all substiction

I can read your lips from my mind I can feel right

I can't understand why

I've obtained this abortion

Yeah

 

We can actualize but our actual lives are affected by a hunger for sane-ness

In the back of our minds are the nastiest lines that a dope emcee never came with

Once we get tired of fakin', unchain the beast in the brain that awakens

See the clear path that I used to couldn't see

Be the kind of artist that I thought I couldn't be

Become that man that'd rather die standing than ever live head down bending a knee

So I purify my soul in the land of the fire

My sweat and my tears dull pain

And the blood that I leave on the battlefield proves what I've always known

I was born to reign

 

[Hook: Rihanna]

I have in my mind just thinkin' that it's really posed in the time

I never felt so bad when I saw you

You were my first substiction

I was your substiction

We were all substiction

I can read your lips from my mind I can feel right

I can't understand why

I've obtained this abortion

Yeah

 

[Breakdown: Future and Rihanna]

All insanity was infuction

And I spoked what it really seem

I ain't really gramed 'bout it, just heard on it

So you can't complain love to hustle

Why am I the worst in this world?

So you can't complain love to hustle

 

[Hook: Rihanna]

I have in my mind just thinkin' that it's really posed in the time

I never felt so bad when I saw you

You were my first substiction

I was your substiction

We were all substiction

I can read your lips from my mind I can feel right

I can't understand why

I've obtained this abortion

Yeah
