Dead Silent - Fly Trap lyrics
[Dead Silent - Fly Trap lyrics]
To all the people that
Wanna follow a blueprint tell your boss that
Your productivity's booming
Tell your family that your job is improving
Photos up in your cubicle
Praying to feel some humanness
Productivity's just another language
I'm fluent in i don't need a label or
Any tyrant to ruin this
Artists all around me know what they
Want but not doing it
That's why I'm paranoid
Cause these labels all want delusionists
Local rappers be gassed up
Ain't even getting plays
Presented opportunities promising to
Get max praise sounding too good to pass up
Locating their graves
Cause I know for a fact
That nobody's getting paid
Handed a syllabus like it's
One of your classes you ain't the illest
You're illustrating your casket
Your label owner wants to
Appeal to the masses
I'm focused on my fanatics
You leave em with post traumatic
Negativity was never the plan
Flipped the table
Turned every hater I had into a rap fan
Never read an agenda cultivated by man
And you better bet I know the culture
Like the back of my hand
And I don't know if it's the right path
But this is all that I know
I may not be blowing but I'm a time bomb
Between me and you is a mile gap
Without a drive like mine
You won't survive long, high facts
The industry is trying to bite back
They be trying to to screw artists
Out of a tight stack
With offers on the table
Looking like snacks homie
But I ain't trying to be
Caught in a fly trap
They try tell me the real
Rappers been cleared out
Until I prove that the realest
Rapper is here now they try tell me the real
Rappers been cleared out
Until I prove that the realest
Rapper is here now they try to tell me the
Real rappers been cleared out
But I've been spitting this raw
Message for years now
They want to see my head up on
The wall like a deer mount
Yeah, but I can split a rapper's
Jaw with my sheer sound
Minimal when I kill a flow
Visible to the miserable
Envision it when I sit at home
Killing it from my living room
Homie there's no reciprocal
Spit it so indespicable
Sickle cell to a beat
Second time it would be i killed them both
Here comes the rain now
Undermining the game now
Don't nobody play it from the
Angle of the grey mouse
Coming up from the bottom, from way down
Since 8 pounds no quicker way to the top
Faring the greyhound
Never test the water, I may drown
But I'm more dedicated and patient
Fit in any place that my frame allows
Step on a stage and erase anyone's doubt
I turn a caterpillar to flames
With my insane vows you're gassed up
But you couldn't breathe in a mask
Suffocated on self hate, celebrated the past
But
I set achievements that every year I surpass
Your greatest feat couldn't step
In this track i feel a defeated demeanor
Though in the least
Cause all this takes so much energy out of me
You're steady climbing and biting
Off of the tree
I'm steady grinding, and planting a seed
And when I'm bearing fruit
Don't be eating the leaves
Repeat peaks, relieve grief
You can leave it to me
Pleased to retrieve peeps who
Be sleeping on me
Sketching out this this heat
For people in need
And I don't know if it's the right path
But this is all that I know
I may not be blowing but I'm a time bomb
Between me and you is a mile gap
Without a drive like mine
You won't survive long, high facts
The industry is trying to bite back
They be trying to to screw artists
Out of a tight stack
With offers on the table
Looking like snacks homie
But I ain't trying to be
Caught in a fly trap
They try tell me the real
Rappers been cleared out
Until I prove that the realest
Rapper is here now they try tell me the real
Rappers been cleared out
Until I prove that the realest
Rapper is here now they try to tell me the
Real rappers been cleared out
But I've been spitting this raw
Message for years now
They want to see my head up on
The wall like a deer mount
Yeah, but I can split a rapper's
Jaw with my sheer sound
Welcome to my dimension
Where I do it for the escape
From a place where nobody's getting played
Tearing down the walls so I
Can learn how to innovate
Always hungry for more
But have yet to finish my dinner plate
Everybody is vexed
My mom is saying she stressed
There’s so much I never tell her
I do it out of respect
So in and out of my mind
But I be feeling like a guest
Never welcome inside it
I’m lying beside every line I dissect
And I’d be lying if I said
That I got nothing to hide
When really I got lots of vices to cleanse
I got lives to defend
Twice as hard to pretend like I ain’t
Got friends doing lines before bed
Stealing cars to getting high off of meds
Fighting alcoholic friends with
Suicidal intent
Escape the feeling with every venue I step in
Then coming home like I’m just
Trying to blend in
And I don't know if it's the right path
But this is all that I know
I may not be blowing but I'm a time bomb
Between me and you is a mile gap
Without a drive like mine
You won't survive long, high facts
The industry is trying to bite back
They be trying to to screw artists
Out of a tight stack
With offers on the table
Looking like snacks homie
