GRIP, Royce da 5'9" - Placebo lyrics

Got a verbal machine gun, you never seen one
(yeah, yeah)
Vocab throw jabs, you thought a bee stung
You thought your shit was heat, huh?
(yeah) the fuck you get that beat
From? Go get a refund (yeah)
You gotta reload
Infinite clips like I got the cheat code
Spittin' a brick like I copped from Chico
You wasn't in the mix
You watched through peephole
Starin' out the window
Witnessin' livin' at a quicker tempo
But ain't no reset, this not Nintendo
Our life was preset
Dark is a defect, you got the remote
You take your seat yet?
You get to see death all over C notes
I ain't no preacher, don't
Be callin' me woke
Just ain't been sleep yet
This ain't for V necks, go get your peacoat
I see your feet cold
Just take a deep breath and watch me
Heat check all of your heroes
They didn't heal you, that's just placebo
I'm just a nappy headed negro aka reject
My alter ego get all the
Respect, but if you see, bro
Off in the streets
Bet your ass would relapse
If you ain't know that he
Raps like, fuck the verses
He'll clutch your purses
My stream of income through
A streaming service
If you don't listen, they
Gon' deem me worthless
So I need every purchase (yeah)
That's why I'm steady workin'
I'm a heady person
So I go through dry spells
But this shit feel like a levy burstin'
(yeah) open the floodgates
They knew I was special after that Snub tape
Just thought l'd touch base
This is the update

COVID constantly, code red boundaries
How could we
While gossiping, culturally grow responsibly?
Cops are the ops to me, cokeheads cop from me
Them Hoteps got me to protest consciously
Rolex watch on me, feds clockin' me
We own less property, atrocity, mo' debt
Invest stock in the oppressed
Controlling yo' net-profitting
Told y'all 'bout them Jim Crow laws
That's more less prophecy
My bars be trap, my car seat's back
Against odds, my cards be stacked
My Wall Street black
I dreamt all would pay me in health
It's degrading to do pilates
Generational wealth, niggas say we Illuminati
To be religiously Christian
Versus dissettlement
Perfect embezzlement, bitch, we get
In, worship the devil, rich
Melanin vibration indebted to God, gracious
They scared of Sanaa
Lathan, genetic annihilation, uh
This ain't what BIG meant when he
Came and kicked in your door
New whip for niggas that walk
Look rich for niggas that's poor
You bang for niggas that's soft
New chain for niggas that floss
You sin for niggas, that's God
You win for niggas, that's lost all
Them top models come out
With the see-through panties
I bleed blue Brandy and Art
Basel by the Hebru Brantley's

Shit, I'm entitled to whites
So I got Harvard on my app
The ops just be callin' me light
Then my Glock falls into my lap
Them execs suspended your record that'll
Send you a extra exorcism
So keep your respect
We just reap the regrets of nepotism
I'll dollar bill you or check
But you got to be specific
I got to keep you in check
So you got to be complicit from A to Z
Only you can compare with the streets
But only we can keep playing
Musical chairs with the seats

Shit, and I'm black
So I got a target on my back
(But where you at?) Atlanta, Georgia
Where I started on the map
Was bargainin' for scraps, they lethargic
I'm bargin' in for racks
The margin is startlin'
This who you thought was
Harder with the raps?
What's the argument? Really ain't
No guardin' him, in fact
I step back, let it fly
I'm James Harden with the strap
Might just travel wit' it
To get a shot off in the clutch
We both paid to be the boss
But it ain't cost you as much
And even bosses get touched
So keep your head on a swivel
And pray you end up at the top
And not dead in the middle
Out-of-towners pull up with diamonds and
They bezel and dentals
Think shit sweet 'til lil' niggas
Pump lead in your rental, ha
Got 'em duckin' shots
The juggernaut to stuff you in a fuckin' box
I just checked the mud on top
You dug the plot
I tuck the Glock from which the slugs
Was popped that struck the ops
Who thought this shit was butterscotch? I'm
Finna crank this up a notch
