Decline

[Introduction] PSA: Now arriving in Philadelphia, the last stop. Thank you for riding the Swelly Express Chiddy: Damn, yo I just woke up son. That was the craziest dream ever dawg. Black Thought came through and gave us some advice and got on the track. Some Hollywood shit [Verse 1] They waitin’ for that decline Pray that I lose my mind, they never want me to shine But I observe that, trouble I will serve that Ear to the streets, never will I give the curve back Still movin’ at a velocity Still sensing the animosity Hate mail is what they send me But I separate letters like an apostrophe Colossally, didn’t come the same must of had two angles He was isosceles, but now I’m Socrates With philosophies I’m in my tree house please don’t bother me And now it’s lookin’ like hella smoke Under age they lettin’ me pass the velvet rope And this life getting reckless Feeling like a lone star, Texas [Hook] Uh huh I know what’s on your mind You don’t think were gonna shine I face you to prove you wrong Thought I was weak I tell you I am getting strong This time its gonna be different than the last time I swear I’m gonna turn this from a hobby and a pastime Tomorrow gonna be better than today (yeah) This will wash the pain away [Verse 2] Could you cheer for me when you see me? Had to follow my dreams and they cannot believe me But, you see I need it for the cake I go Like Today on the TV and the radio Retro ’80 flow, hood make it crazy though Puttin’ work with music but the school made me lazy though Why cause I couldn’t write enough rhymes They say that hip-hop is dead we bring the vital signs Never trippin’, I’m on a different grind Bring slaughter to your houses, a young Nickel-Nine See, now tell me would ya get me wrong If I told you in the studio I met Solange? If I said I command it like its the Pentagon Hatin’ on even on the roof I’m upper echelon But still forever we shine Turn a negative to positive I never decline [Hook]
