Silent Mode

Intro

Yeah.

Look.

They want the summary, but the story's still writing itself.

Check the calendar.

Verse 1

Another year gone by, man, the numbers don't lie

Looking at the scoreboard while the time just fly

They used to judge the moves, now they study the blueprint

Every single word that I dropped had a footprint

Got a couple closed doors that I don't ever wanna unlock

Too busy locking down the empire, watching the clock

And people love to talk about the changes they see

Like the boy that they knew wasn't growing into me

I had to distance myself from the static and noise

Too many grown men acting out like little boys

I keep the circle real tight, yeah, the family solid

Everything I learned was an expensive bit of knowledge

They want a reaction, want a slip, want a leak

I just stay quiet for a couple of weeks

Let the work speak volumes, let the numbers climb

I'm right back in my zone, yeah, it's 'bout that time.

Chorus

Yeah, put the phone on silent mode

Too much weight on a heavy road

If they looking for me, tell 'em I'm out of reach

Living out the lessons that the quiet time teach.

Verse 2

Remember sitting in the basement, plotting on the dream

Now we international, running up the stream

And everybody wants a piece when you're standing at the top

Asking when you're tired, asking when you're gonna stop

Never, that's the answer, I'm just getting warmed up

Got a couple empty bottles that we never filled up

To the ones who stayed down when the winter was cold

Y'all the only ones who know the story that's told

I'm just protecting my peace, keeping my guard

Writing down the truth on a bloodied-up card

No interviews, no statements, just the art and the pen

They gonna miss the old days till I give it 'em again.

Outro

Yeah.

Do not disturb.

We out.
