They wrote a book on that and published it too Even Adam’s apple gets choked up, with ill consuming, aye Metaphors got em thinking nevermore, don't hate.. I learned to hold my spear without shaking.

Living a thriller I die and come right back I go Usain on you niggas and black on a track You get your mic jacked Homie it’s like that slow it down like a time lapse I wanna inspire dat (Outro) This how we should try to feel I don’t even like to chil ayyee Tryna bite the style still? Maybe that’s a sign to chill nahh Fam you know it ain’t a thing i’m in it till’ the lady sing, Baby won’t you let it be, if life’s a bitch she meant for me

THE SHIFT ANTHEM Still can’t sleep when the demons callin, (They) Hear to stay i made peace with all em That's real.. midnight i snack out the cupboard Insomnia cookies I rap with that hunger and passion I had to my brothers stay Fly as some falcons i’m buzzin’ Exhausting comparisons... I be nervous Hardly embarrassing, ‘least I'm certain what I see when searching deep beneath the surface Steady speaking verses that could heat a furnace see you creeping lurking I don't need you serpents... Famished ego ...feed the worthless.. Thinking I could have the whole game feeling disrespected, Know a nigga never made a diss respect it like nah ‘won’t get this respect if yo art is capped by your intellect I lay low. I gotta stay on my toes.. Oh I be taking it slow, I drop a track and they know, Ain’t no one stopping the flows, I could put that on my soul. Show after show if I get that momentum, Cartoon shirt with the skate crew denim . Nerd nigga with a tattoo who let em on stage with the gang it’s whole new setting but you know who winning. Action to state the name Shift lanes and it’s back to the basement days, First tape and i know i’m late sorry, Great things take time to make.

Learning how to shape my life now Few invited to the lifestyle Underground .Pipe down. Darker nights, spittin' harder with an Iron mike till it's lights out That’s how i do think I'm doing well, On the real I could never tell. If this diligence is detrimental prophet writing so the shit is testamental... I just wanna test ya mental.. He been living in the booth crib up in the stu, now the shit is residential in the cut head severed- next(neck’s) level indica to indicate the stress settled... Can't be in my presence less I letchu. Against the grain when I get the bread. Hope you niggas see what greed'll getchu Bring her to the show i'm spittin' hella flows I could promise she ain't leavin’ with you But I want all of my bed Back in the day was whatever to get her undressed. Pray they forget what I said. You couldn't pay me to speak to em’ ever again. No foes old friends More flows goin in. That's just how I get ahead. It gives me life so I guess I do it till I'm dead. I ain't even gotta stress First place never second guess another verse . Tested by everything learned if I implement bet I been said it but y'all never heard I was killing off throw away bars Trained like a stowaway hard as the rhymes I was writing from the start Oh god Let’em decide if I'm Jekyl or Hyde Stay outta sight I reside in my mind You let your music supply your disguise Are you alive if you living a lie Argue with life like it’s nothing to die Fuck whatchu write.

(Hook 1) I used to want a pair of angel wings Recall the day that I became a king Upon request I could travel at greater speeds enjoy heights ya could only dream I was warned that their only weakness was the sweltering heat. So just be cool in all your victories don’t melt in defeat. And though you'll rarely have to use em remain sharp on your feet It's hard to speak from the heights to lower folk but you could try Just be wise Feed your mind and soon your heart'll be free (Verse 1) Prophet in my village youngin’ feeling like a great one Flows capture souls rap’s Shang Tsung Told you life’s a game but don’t get played son Practice patience in the pocket. Thinking deeper but the surface was my favorite topic I liked to watch but you’re often fond of the forming of patterns I couldn't stay. Cuz lately it's like a chore to be average I'm wide awake Today I wait from the highest cloud Ground is out of space. And that's ok cause I'm flying now (Hook 2) I used to want a pair of Angel Wings.. Cause I was often fond of ancient things But they can only take you as far as the brink of Olympus I think I know what they knew From demigod to a higher ruling I’m who you pray to A level head and a humble soul was to keep me stable Till I make it known that I made it, I shouldn't brag it's shameful. I never gave a thank you.. And so it goes my soul is solely prone to live what they wrote . I told em (Verse 2) You can dap me up but don't get close to the son Cocky kid a hotshot, quite the smoldering one. Smoke from a gun is personified- let em know I'm poppin This is how to fly ‘Till the Giant star I'm soon becoming think I'm outta line This high would cost em. Sky exhausted my head is heavy the wings dissolving When I got closer than Earth revolved it was nothing to burn em off That's the night I Lost em. A Final log of the sight I saw when my time was called. (Chorus 3) I used to want a pair of Angel Wings.. If they gone spite me better make it sting. Crazy thing when ya gift is a curse Heed whatchu heard .Ya gotta Listen and learn Sift the terms and agreements it reads This shit isn't served. Let that marinate. Surrounded but alone is such a scary fate. Weary days a product of my gift they gave me flight. Paired with views that kept me way outta sight Upon return I seen too much i can't relate if I tried (Verse 3) Not what I thought, I drop the mic when I fall. Predisposed to live with people I ain't like em at all.. Hubris killed the god you learn to walk you should crawl for a minute.. This happens often you forget your beginnings I bet you relivem Plummet in that lake that way the flows contained, Spit my writtens simple hope it show i'm sane Poets understand it so I don't complain Overstate cause most the same Sick of this. Rap game’s Icarus, know the name.. (Outro) No true religion from false prophets and superstitions Local boy wonders with no supervision... Chose to learn from his music And so the Student listens Searching out the box to find the tool that's missing, There's few divisions I mean.. I'm used to tap. his and I feel I'm gifted so what's the difference Between my writtens and who I mention as influential Home said I should fix my mental the fact I question this why i’m prone to keep growing they won't forget I said i'm.. The synonym of cinnamon Eminem and etc... Since that moment I knew to reach perfection is eminent and any less is a lesson Don't lose ya head in these sentence, when I start venting you should breathe I think a second For the good guys we’ve lost a lot, Wait my niggas this could make an awesome plot- Jot it down Not a sound the second that I hit the lab. Recognize. Rap ain't give me half the life I'm giving rap

The bottom is close..don't jump though the hollowest soul.. Still floats drift slow through the shallow end note your surroundings. I know you’ve been here before you were down in The deeper crevices but you left with no evidence You ain't never been helped no, reason to even yell if you scream with your final breath it’s perceived, as being weak Before you ventilate you gotta learn to breathe...elevate. Let it make you stronger than anybody that never faced - Demons that could swim. A better fate you deserve it drown ya problems in a bottle but then it’s back to the surface. First it's a one and done, Then you realize you hurtin and worst than the night before when you cursed and said you were worthless. I heard. You once were fearless I heard. It's been a year and I heard that nobody heard you when you were shedding them tears. Birth onto this earth is- Something we ain't request but I guess i could make it work I don't pray in a church I don't know if this body should ever lay in a hearse But I'll keep my soul I suppose the container ain't my concern. Used to hate my words- So if you plan on talking some shit you can wait your turn Cause no one a harsher critic I get to into the script Lately it's been too intimate... It's like I knew from the rip that this was the shift ... Yeah, Yeah Ele-vate Medi-tate Meta ...yeah Passed the point of no return Form sermon to a verse word is bond since them nervous acapellas got me heard Been learned once you convince yourself they believe it , Though I'm not at my peak (at) ‘least I only suffer in seasons This my core and heart now you can see the shit. Bleed and drip. *plop plop* Sleezy wits. This was not an easy fix. Only when the path clears you'll view a new life like a pap smear And that was lookin’ back at last year Check check check (Verse 2) Tryna build a legacy, that don't come with instructions so i'm giving every part of me. Making somethin from nothing it’s hard to see when the sun isn't shining rising above it they say we come from the bottom but still I feel I could plummet Afraid..of disappointing myself or my mother my brothers boosted my confidence wasn't used to these compliments just... Ele- vate Ele- Yeah ....check Every punch is dragon fist, nobody would slay the kid When, I was just a youngin pretending I'm saying shit But now I'm a Saiyan bitch. Collecting hella wins but the L’s made me gifted you’d think I was facing spliffs. Niggas said I got the juice , so homie come take a sip Repetitions reinforce every sentence I say legit Till the day this nation knows what it means when I say the shift Imma strain these vocal chords and write till I sprain a wrist. Ohhh and I feel ungrateful Knowing I make you question devotion but I'm a loner by nature I'm staying true to it Guess i’ve been too elusive in nicer words, Reclusive in spite of urge to ascend. All highs come to an end All lies within my head Allies niggas n’ friends Respect, my way of working ... I hope it's worth it I hope (it's worth- it yeah) Days later and I, reword this He learned quick of his own standards, and like a lanyard he Hold the keys, and his goals close Long time coming he's one in millions an old soul. Slow growth. Make it organic and give the woke hope Let my niggas know it's a given and bring the shit home Elevate. Spit a song like a quick poem. Any place where your uninspired is not home.

Word.. Slow recovery. Nothing’s easy when you make it perfect I don’ filled these verses with so much of me World silenced by this music couldn’t hear you speak but now I got a vision and i'd love to see enough to be infinite. Channel these images till it’s somethin so vivid I'm spittin' facts like- fuck your opinion. Must be the difference Connect what I'm living to every line that I've written its do or die Won’t be alive if I didn't I feel it.. And so they listen homie know the mission hold it in his mind and since it’s mine imma go and get it... no limits How I'm quitting with a spirit so persistent Went from dipshit to schooling they parents like Dr. Lipschitz Misfit The shift is in motion my nigga stay in tune. Up late I start the day at noon. They say the early birds eating but the skillful steady feasting so resourceful I ain't even competing. Lost the day of week so I'm teaching niggas on weekends This a prophecy I'm acting on the shit you believe in I’m busy rhyming these reasons but if you need it I speak. Like a sigh of relief, high enough that I can finally breathe. You'll find what you seek Kinda needed time from the scene. Decided these are the essentials so my mental is clean And I return with that remedy.. Come correct with every word like a spelling bee show you i’m a better me And I would rather be writing and so its static tonight But then they pass em a mic he display the passion of christ Wit a sharp mind sever lines Cut em from that god cloth.. He dreams still if he should ever die Never been religious I just pray these niggas recognize Yet to be a better time to fight this I decided that i’m Non compliant with any side, still undefined shit I realized before they can conquer they gon' divide listen Now if I got your attention you gave me more than I'm asking. I'm not gonna mention about your pockets or pension I really do this it’s passion But y'all aggression is passive im past insighting these motives no turning back You're treating writing like a milestone. This a foreign language to you I am home.. And lately I could use a night alone Envisioned land of the golden Expanding flows to the ocean In hope of chances at holding the hands of time then i focus I'm gone. I really lost it again Pause and repent till the tension dissolves its all in my head. I'm nothing special I promise baby i’m far from the best a modern goddess needs dollars and i’m the future of miscellaneous commas if talent yielded success, its simple My time is coming now, But the radio showed me different these niggas dumb it down, (But) I ain't stressing Use my mind as a weapon till i’m defining and setting the standard Rhyming a sentence to shine I'm fighting like tekken Homie life is a lesson we learning I went from eating a beat to tryna get seconds.. You sleepin this is critical season .. They ignore me today and my heart is freezing Love'em even though they never recognized that they need em cause hatred breed and I ain't finna fornicate with yo demons Thoughts bleeding So I leave with no greeting. Seamless told you let him be ain't Apathetic as it seems if Still this rhetoric could please you he's a subject of these preterites above whatchu believed I've grown now I'm hardly who you've known Partly still alone but that's lately what I chose still its.. Middle finger to ya hierarchy Savage under 21 so try and card me Not a squad bitch i got an army The few the proud but I grew with them niggas. But if you about the shift listen you can come with us. (I)Tried to be a normal kid I guess the shoe wouldn’t fit so I'm on my own tryna dream like it’s Lucid again Embrace the fact that I'm distant when I embrace you. I'll be away for a minute fam I wish I could take you I'm hella thankful Ventilation to take it in from a different angle.. Let cha soul shift shape you -Derick.
