Still Bad

Intro

Yeah

Uh

Check

Verse 1

Six rings on my right hand, chaining Tatum

Brodie hit my line say he need a favor

I been movin' silent through the map like a tracer

Feds watchin' conversations through the satellite pager

Blue cheese stackin' taller than the Great Lake's basin

They want me to fall but I'm still here solvin' the equation

Pendants in the safe from the days we was patient

Now I'm wakin' up to texts from the bravest association

Verse 2

They say I changed but the bank statements didn't

I was just a kid with a dream and a pencil

Now they put my face on the screen in the rental

Every verse I'm surgical, every line is a stencil

They be talkin' pinstripes but they walkin' in stencil

I'm applyin' pressure 'til the diamonds get dental

Yeah they cut deep but I'm covered in residuals

Watch me pivot through the profit like a defensive official

Verse 3

Talkin' slick on the 'Gram but they freeze in the flesh

I been duckin' the set, they been leakin' the stress

Fifty thou' on a necklace, nothin' less than the best

But I still sleep on the couch when I'm back in the nest

Momma sayin' I'm blessed, I ain't sayin' it less

I just carry the weight of the city on my chest

Every tour, every check, every promise I kept

Now they beggin' for a verse tell 'em get in the queue next

Bridge

Yeah

Pressure make diamonds

Pressure make the silence

Pressure make the violence

Of the mind, I been guidin'

Through the highways and the byways

Nothin' fake in my dialogue

Thirty years in the rearview

And I'm still movin' forward

Verse 4

They want the old me back but the old me was a novice

Now the overhead massive, readin' contracts is a hobby

Got a taste for the profit and a love for the logic

Every syllable I scribble hit the booth like a rocket

You can't box me in, I'm too fluid with the topic

Multi-syllabic patterns got the scholars in a moshpit

This ain't rap for the club this is rap for the deposit

Every bar is a deposit, every pause is a deposit
