lyrics

jump in the v and slide wit me, so sublime really/feeling like Jimmy with the middy crispy dropping 50//a natural progression elevate, handle business/just a local nigga known to burn the booth down to cinders//remove the bs like appendixes just beats and bars/serve a sentence with a smile like I beat a charge//disembark on a journey to forgotten realness with it/script it vivid so detailed they fail mimic//made in the image of titans that ruled the mesozoic/obsidian alien got em wailing in atonement//eroded barriers like water over stone/riverbeds and imbedded my own lane with the prose//the unauthentic attempted to discredit in code/its all good tho, you feel a nigga iller make it known//the pacing of patient pugilist who counters sharp/too far ahead like Joan of Arc vrs Tony Stark//uh, cuisinart scramble the whole scenario/in actual got you cowards bladders leaking marigold//'parently try to parrot the patterns, but our path is so damaged that in the midst of mayhem my calm is natural// black gold
black gold relentless on the path chose/
truly committed as the future reveals the unknown//until I'm finished shoulders square gotta hold your own/let the world witness as the soul of critics burn slow// black gold, king of tomorrow but holding tradition/salute to those that came before and had the vision//some choose the road less traveled cuz they handle different/and refute the quotes of those who hate cuz they aint did it//black gold
scribble my manifesto beyond the rap rhetoric/diaspora symptom glorifying music negligent//these jewels carved in the gold bars, minus the faux pas/typical of middle school demographic inclined stars// yeah... we got our own lane to ride/that can't be changed by time, money, or vacant minds//blatant pride for black youth stressed by the now and future/just take your time analyze and make power maneuvers//courage to be unique as key as a firing pin/purpose can be discreet, waiting to be found within//environmentally challenged surroundings so perilous/thus defeating the narrative is imperative//never concede to a challenge instead to death wit it/when the heat make you frantic just make the best of it//be conscious you're defined by your collective/and every effort you make is reflected on those connected//step with confidence of conquerors of continents and get it/knowing failures just advice for when tomorrow become present//learn the tactics of detractors/and in due time they'll mute themselves as a common practice//black gold
black gold relentless on the path chose/
truly committed as the future reveals the unknown//until I'm finished shoulders square gotta hold your own/let the world witness as the soul of critics burn slow// black gold, king of tomorrow but holding tradition/salute to those that came before and had the vision//some choose the road less traveled cuz they handle different/and refute the quotes of those who hate cuz they aint did it//black gold
