Illy - Don't Start Now lyrics

If you don't wanna see me
Did a full one-eighty (Woo)

Oh boy, wild times we live in
Well,  not really
For ten years shit been like
Every time I coughs rappers scared to death
No different, forgot? You forgiven
Exhibit caution on approach
'Cause nowaday it pay to keep enemies close
Bottom feeders keep on a need-to-know
Mic on fire, cabin fever flow
Took one pandemic, blew the dust off and
Blew the dust off it? Sure, but no coughin'
Fri' Flips 3, come knockin'
But Cam Bluff got him, no problem
I let them scrap for toilet paper
I wipe my arse with these rappers anyway
Bruh on smash from Frankston Line to
Your patch on the map
We been back, they trash, I'm sayin'
(Don't show up)

So over 'don't show up'
So done with 'don't come out'
Six feet then walk away
I bet you carin' 'bout it now
Up in my room all day
Watchin' this shit go down
Six feet then walk away
I bet you carin' 'bout it now

Cheah
Self-isolate deez nuts, who we kiddin'?
You try tellin' fuck wit's
The beach off limit's
But, I keep distance, no cheap gimmick
Only hand I shake got dill' bags in it
Uh, no news too much for me
War goin' on on your TV screens
I go off tap over Cam Bluff beats
But real life been on at least six weeks
Can't act like that's new trajectory
'Cause since rap paid the bills
My hands been clean goin' back to my roots
These bros can't fill my boots
ScoMo couldn't track my moves, I don't lose
When you last seen me chase? I don't reach
Nah, I do a leap of faith
Smart money on me, that's a goodbye, like
Alvederzane, till we meet again, I'm sayin'

So over 'don't show up'
So done with 'don't come out'
Six feet then walk away
I bet you carin' 'bout it now
Up in my room all day
Watchin' this shit go down
Six feet then walk away
I bet you carin' 'bout it now

We used to sing "All my friends are wasted"
"All my friends are dead"
Now my friends isolated
It's fuckin' with my head, we used to sing
"My friends are wasted"
"All my friends are dead"
Now my friends isolated
It's fuckin' with my head, like, ayy

If you don't wanna see me

Yeah took a re-up to relax
I used to take trips, now it's three tabs
My shit on beast mode, yeah
Never beast mode enough, I'ma keep rats
How you kick raps with your knees capped?
You on your couch with cramps and a heat pack
Somewhere in Georgia on CoD
Modern Warfare 4, prepare for evac (yeah)
I'm on the cheese snacks, yeah
ISO body like beanbags, yeah
I don't give feedback, but
Fuck name redacted
Boy, they so tough on their keypads
You ain't He-Man, you wee, man
Tah, and way before the pandemic
I never been nothin' to sneeze at choo
