The Upbeats
Villains Cowl
Let me tell you why we cherish this-
'cause even in the heretic's heritage we see everything
Light flares in the air, like they can never compare to this
But we accept them stories, that small winded is ok-
Out of breath, like ga'sheesh
You wanna be these, please dont tread the apex tho
Stay predator stay less glow, the heat signaturе show
My john hancock's back, you feel the click n' just know
Exercisin' the pеn brings out the best in us, heh
Former angels who put the game in a stranglehold
What now? I see through you bitches smoke
Bloodhound, that backpack boom bap battle rap bad bothers you
You can act smart, we don't have to acknowledge you
Punchers and shooters, they say they about to follow through
Mono who, half the dark matters labelled impossible
We still quill the tale of bad obstacle
I'm not just stoppin' thru, to stop devils you rocking to

------------

I gotta give props & not just angels but the monsters
The preachers and the mobsters, the killers mixed with conscious
The Pac's, Biggies, and Nas's
The Royces, the Pharaohe Monches, the T.I.'s, and the Talib
The Hov, Black Thought, and Ice Cube, to name some obvious
As headline product of my environment kind of shit
Influential names when the future is former anonymous
Non symbolic timelines, follow- call it the anti-gram
Damn if I'm gon' spam you, the culture's become autonomous
Dystopian propaganda totals only the math
(Clear we all still buggy from stalls, flippin' off us some black mirrors)?
Survival of the fittest, if you last cheer us on
Coliseum wise, kill the algorithm you clearly on
These early stages of cyberpunk black market starter kits
Got cha'll guessin' where parts are from
Don't even ask me what the cost is
If you don't know the passwords written
Then why you mark it done?

------------

All I know is producers who treat jambas like paint brushes
Some wild chemist compile a menace, and rush it through my veins
This ain't numbers, doses o' dope, I mean those connected to cause weapon to charge
Nobody sayin' they understand higher than hisses and howls
Animal VISION, through a villains cowl
Snake the wolf pushing to work
Devilish smirk, hella for perk, the mindframe structures
(The same subsidies laying scratch)?
Passion rebels first, *sheesh* I excel, that prevail
With a flow so nostalgic yall start thinking of school crushes
Fresh pair of S DOTS, black hoodie, a few dutches
Ten cars deep to a party nobody new was at
SNAPPLE FACTS why yall always yellin' about move us back
I have not mumbled one line, (Timeless and Q?) did that (heh)
SOS, killers with a syllable pet
Straight bone snaps on these arm bars
Ya'll say when
