I know, I know (I know)
I lose control (Control)
I know, I know (I know)
Can't lose my soul (My soul)
I know, I know (I know, I know)
You told me so (hmmm)
The truth's unfolding (yeah)
I know, I know
My nigga, I know it, I know it (I know!)
I had to bet it and show it (Show it!)
But, boy, when I show it, I show it (Ho!)
I'm out of control, I'm explosive!
I'm hell-bent on slowing my motion
But, baby, I'm sure that they notice (No!)
'Cause niggas be watching, they watching
They do not know he is hopeless, they do not know he is broken
Spoken word is helping take the pressure off
And that is my only focus!
Folding everywhere, I see the set-up, dog
And that is why I am choking!
Choking everyone I seem to be around
It's like I ain't happy 'less I see 'em drowning
Because me, I'm drowning
And I see 'em found in this place
I know, I know (I know)
I lose control (Control)
I know, I know (I know)
Can't lose my soul (My soul)
I know, I know (I know, I know)
You told me so (hmmm)
The truth's unfolding (yeah)
I know, I know
I know that I lose control
I know that I lost my soul
In a way, I've been through every toll
And it pays to play your heavy role
It's dangerous to be the mode
Anger that you can't console
Stakes been raised since butter rolls
On dinner plates, there's no escape
I know, I know, I been this way
Since bruises, scrapes and bloody knuckles
Bring that Atlas-tantric pressure
Just to make you buckle
So phantasmagorical
The way I bring the trouble
Type to pull the tooth out his gums
Just to burst your bubble
You could give me a couple of doses
Of Fentanyl, G, and I'll still stay focused
I'll still kill a beat, if I'm feeling hopeless
The best that I've seen, but still not the dopest
Man, I am the chosen, the Fury of Cain
Glasses get broken and carpets get stained
Can't find the locus, not searching your brain
Just losing control and bringing the pain
I know…
I know, I know (I know)
I lose control (Control)
I know, I know (I know)
Can't lose my soul (My soul)
I know, I know (I know, I know)
You told me so (hmmm)
The truth's unfolding (yeah)
I know, I know
You told me so
You knew that I would lose control
The pills you loaned?
I used more of 'em than I sold
That's why I'm slithering now
And fucking slurring on tracks
And tryna get this shit back
But I'm good for it, black
Don't even trip, homie, I got you
That's the famous last words
Of the nigga who got you, and that's just
Wisdom from a real one
Try to keep it real, but
Niggas out here acting like some
Fucking eels, and uh… (slithery)
They'll electrocute you
Catch you fucking shlipping
And shock you, nigga
They'll catch you tripping
If you let 'em, they got you (they got you)
I know, I know (I know)
I lose control (Control)
I know, I know (I know)
Can't lose my soul (My soul)
I know, I know (I know, I know)
You told me so (hmmm)
The truth's unfolding (yeah)
I know, I know
you've got to love reflective, often claustrophobic, and cryptically heartfelt hiphop, especially when the artist does most of their own production The Thought
probably gonna be the best underground record of 2020, barring something truly phenomenal that I'm not anticipating. deep, dense, decadent. The Thought
