[Verse 1]
Bear with me, as I blow off steam
May I have your attention, please? Go and take a seat
Ladies and gentlemen, here, the echoes end
I am not at ease
Don't mind me, I'm just tidying up my daily agenda
Dish out the punishment, it costs arm and leg; I'm out on a limb, but this came from within
Pacin' back and forth like a pendulum
I was in cahoots 'til I got the boot, oof
Why call it a truce?
Got nothin' to lose, shoot, cannons on the loose, boom!
I'm the living proof
Always pick and choose
Duke Nukem how I scoop, gunnin' for disputes (Ooh, yuh)
Yeah, try to set me free
You'll leave me with no other option but to toss the key
So you won't get to me
I got angels and demons that tryna double team
I have cooperated wit' everyone within my reach
It's in-coordination that's slated to 'cause me to breach
Might be bipolar, I know my mood's swingin', I'm indecisive
Cannot channel my emotions
I'm the white noise that's on your screen
Missing pieces to the puzzle
Some'll go together
An eccedentesiast, lab rat, experiment gone wrong
Let my hand bleed 'cause I don't secrets, stashed
Entering dense fog with headlights, negligence, held back; winded kite
Adding in salt to injuries, binge-watching series
Filled up with asphalt, brim clogged, no, hear me
Rev up the Hemi', yeah
'Cause I ought to be a ghostwriter for you flow riders
I'm Zack Snyder
But you're making a scene
Tried to touch bases with you, you kissed up to me
That's not my cup of tea
Don't know where I'm goin' with this, but I know I'll go the distance
Tryna even out the odds
Been waitin' to punch my ticket, but I'm in a rut
What is all of the fuss?
Shucks, y'all are full of air; UTZ
Short of my luck, sticky notes that I stuck, stumped
Doin' my own stunts
I can take a bump, dunce
Tell me this ain't tough
One snap and you're turnin' into dust
You can't save me now, do not help me out
I want you to witness what I been about
Know the in's and out's
Ever had ya mind trapped inside its thoughts, dodged shots from a firing squad
Crippled, on a swivel tryna solve another riddle, but can't connect the dots?
Malcolm's in the middle of a grudge match, curb-stomped
A bloodbath awaits me; such traps will botch and unscathed I walk
Moving on

[Hook]
Tell me, do you bleed? (Yah)
If I poked into your flesh wounds (Wounds), would the hairs on your neck move? (Move)
You standin' wit' me or you ain't (Ain't)
Yeah, tell me, do you grieve? (Huh)
'Cause I do, not for me, but for you
I can't even bear with me (B-b-b-bear with me)
Bear with me
Bear with me, yeah
Tell me, do you bleed? (Yah)
If I poked into your flesh wounds (Wounds), would the hairs on your neck move? (Move)
You standin' wit' me or you ain't (Ain't)
Yeah, tell me, do you grieve? (Huh)
'Cause I do, not for me, but for you
I can't even bear with me (B-b-b-bear with me)
Bear with me
Bear with me, yeah

[Verse 2]
Gettin' sidetracked, but that's besides the point, so never mind
Task is to ride out this joint not so attached
As I always run off of track
And still keep my train of thought
A hardheaded knucklehead, but more of a juggernaut
Clutter gone? Nuh-uh, nah
I've always been one to stall
'Cause I feel inclined to, take me dead or alive, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit
You would think I was dropped on my head as a kid
How I've went on the fritz, process different
Talkin' to me like a gawk once they caught in a thread
Hawk's glare make you pause, then a lot goes unsaid
No option to opt out of it
Take caution, respond, if you wish
Genie in a bottle, free me
If need be, I can take a beating, just leaning on you
I'm wheezing
In broad view, come see me, get walked through
They background's misleading like green screen, they CGI
Yeah, this is my stream of consciousness
I go where it leads me and leave my mind
But I'm a full-fledged nut case you can't crack
Tap into my noggin, mine's bogglin', might find blockage
I'd watch it, like TikTok, I'm quite toxic
Oh, pish posh, kick rocks
If I gotta, hip toss ya
Make you have a fixed posture
Quick assist, then pick, on one (Ayy)
I got the GIF for this type of thing, albeit knocked, I smile through the pain
'Til my bottom lip quivers
And the solid grip withers
Like a partnership, I'm partly in a parlor trick
Took part of me through a garnishment
But the gig's up, chin up
Something's 'bout go down, and I'm down (Ayy, ayy)
A vegetable, cool beans, hope I've set the tone, door-belling
Oh, expect trouble, no door ding
A warm welcome home, uncomfy?
Must be me in tow
Feel the need to loathe
How they treat 'V' in woge
Proceed, but let it be known that you better use your whole chest, unless you wanna be bodied; a ho
Ain't that the best way? To go?
No, I didn't think so
It's unlike me to live in the moment, pistol whipped, blindfolded, refusin' to talk
'Cause I have goaltenders who's goal is to block me out knowin' that I was gon' take my best shot
Uh, I'm the fine print you skip, and regret in the end, how I've learned that they won't ever stop
That's why I'm deep-sixing all links to me, quizzically
Some questions just aren't meant to be popped
I'm not tying this knot
