Locksmith - Clouds lyrics

Head in the clouds
I don't need handshakes and
I don't need smiles
I don't need nobody's hand in my pocket
To siphon my profit's or eat off my vowels
I been on tour for like 52 dates
I knocked a new one in 20 new states
I been uneasy on how they receive me
The crescents conceived me you cannot escape
You ain't gotta listen but it's still fact
Most of these niggas be steady
Trickin' but I still stack
I know the difference between a
Sucker and a real Mac i am from Richmond
When I was young they instilled that
I hear the shit that you niggas
Drop and I calmly What?
Disregard any credit so you could
Never con me What?
Now you got the nerve and the gall
To ask me what I been feelin'


My opinion is "Nigga, that's beyond me!"
I gotta different kind of
Agenda than entertainin' pretenders
Came in the game with splinters
It was costly Cost
I can remember when you had
Tried to dismember my credibility
Silly rapper don't ever try to cross me! yeah
God bless you
I request you to keep a large gap
Between me and the raps
That you peddlin' What?
Now you wanna come and play damage control
Manage your soul
I be right here after the dust settles in
Settlin' how do I take the negative
Narrow it to a narrative
Narrowly reachin' my goals
You froze when the air was thin Hey
Would you rather follow a dream or a meme
I rather follow my heart a
Stark line of comparison Woo
Comparin' me to the next man is shiftless
If you don't see it now
Don't ask later forgiveness Nah
I don't do friendship, I do business
Either you bear arms or bear witness, listen

You wit' a true one True one
I can see the snakes when
They do come Do come
I can see the stakes when they do run Do run
But, you don't see the place that
I grew from Grew from it's Richmond on mine
YYou felt a way but act different online
You take my kindness for weakness so
Egregious you don't deserve none

I, I, I, i been in front of the fronters
And front runners who front numbers
Who run from us incumbent to come
At you come summer Ah
Some of you sonned under my
Under side are uninspired i come alive
You come at I with a sunken vibe
I summarize your sum of lies
And every son of a bitch
Bitchin' my sudden rise, suckin' life
My undivided is unrequited
I become quiet as soon as you niggas
Sigh or you sub a lie
Don't expect me to write off
With a light scoff
The nights off you took predictin'
What I thought yeah
So I bought into the bullshit
That you sail with
Now I'm much wiser a umpire
Your sales pitch Argh
You frail bitch you're paperthin and unholy
I tell you what the universe had once told me
You can say what you like with no concern
But every action comes back in return
I'm turnin' my back now
I never will back down
I bat down whenever you lash out
I rather would hash out
'stead of the fast route
I cast out any distraction
Niggas use social platforms
For egotistical traction
I cashed in on my own terms then ran back
Self determination determines where I
Would land that
I ransacked the industry fuck your empathy
Instantly niggas tried to retract from
Where they stand at
You can't rap but your vibe is pushin'
The immature recognized to provide a cushion
The more mature look aside at
The times we shouldn't
America eats it's' young we
Subscribe and push it
We supply the dinnerware we been aware
If we don't feel instantly entertained
We look away for bigger fare
Pick a pair of hot artists I kill 'em both
And watch 'em fall prey to
My lyricism and growth yeah!

You fuckin' wit' a true one True one
I can see the snakes when
They do come Do come
I can see the stakes when they do run Do run
But, you don't see the place that
I grew from Grew from
Yeah, it's Richmond on mine
You felt a way but act different online
You take my kindness for weakness so
Egregious you don't deserve none
