lirik lagu khemist – what’s at stake
i wanted the pain to go away
i masked myself but it knew
it’s me
running the same s~d~stic routine
in a cycle that’s way too vicious to keep
with all the rocks thrown at me some ain’t make it pass the debris
they said my path would brief
as if my chiefdom ain’t beasts
and the commute back to forth gehenna’s been all peach
i’m in an extraordinary league
some want to see under siege
and deceased but i’m well aware of the living sea under me
a child of the sun
before my time a predynastic king
inscribed in palermo stone annals
my name made bells ring
before they sorry excuse of a hoeing mother could be conceived
i knew i’d overthrow everyone on their list that wasn’t me
n~gga my covenants got presidents in their jeans
but not enough of em to stop rumblings when we eat
so i sold to those who sold to those with meth rotting t~~th
and kept one on me at all times my trust issues runs deep
i knew my ceilings was gon break
and the snakes were gon creep
with seroquel in me i ain’t know if i was woke or i was sleep
i sweep up more dead rappers on the streets
with calcified pineal glands
the tap water got em sweet
with defiled minds i defy gravity as i be
until i inherit the earth that’s it no one can speak
in the ghetto
angels flew and fell
wars upon us still
today
in the ghetto
cuts are deep as h~ll
wars upon us still today
order in the court
i give out the death penalty naturally
no gift of gab just a gift to say what’s clearly masterly
im gripping gats for enemies in front and in back of me
sh~t i treated straight everclear like strawberry daiquiri
and i sh~tted on n~ggas a few times still bathroom breaks
the sad part is this athletes still ain’t reach his apogee
i lost too many folks who lives ain’t end all happily
ever after that normality made me a basket case
i found it’s easier to coast in the fast lane then to mash the breaks
i speak a truth all the gods who walk the earth ascertain
acid rain falls when i do draw from this battered brain
assault and battery i bring
i’m known as khemist slash menes
buckling knees on the basilisk who i know after me
if you happen to find my dad address
do tell em i’m the great
i’m so sure of that if you mad at that you should know i’ll be late
to caring about how you feel cuz you don’t know what’s at stake
born in 91 on this plane but don’t forget my other age
knowing that makes some of my elders today younger me
my souls old i known for a while i been a spiritual being
who never felt to attached to the present era we in
i apprehend the hate the gave me and then used it like a gift
and watched em now bow to me repeatedly like a gif
i could just
end them now shots i send never miss
this asiatic black man causes continental drifts
momental sh~t
mental sh~t
the shoes i wear too big
you can’t walk in these here you hear the tongue go over your head
they’re small fish
you know what happens when their overfed
i’m made for this their weakening you gotta overstand
when the king pop sh~t there’s no safety blanket to live
i been dangling n~ggas over the ledge their whole career
looking around for competition but no ones there
when create your own lane the roads are clear
in the ghetto
angels flew and fell
wars upon us still
today
in the ghetto
cuts are deep as h~ll
wars upon us still today
i’m from where baggies filed with laced moon rock make you an astronaut
for child support your bm line up for whatever cash you got
n~ggas get beat to pulps and those around walk pass and watch
snitching gets you uninvited guests outside your momma’s house
you’ll be a corpse under a logan house no one finds out about
you play with me i don’t make threats i can throw that promise out
n~ggas self destructing for money they all want some kind of clout
i could easily put dots on you and put barrels in your mouth
my souls supreme glow got rid of the shadow and the doubt
the newest legend got all the past ones on the chopping block
they can’t beat me tho they like to try
like haile selassie i
helped my n~ggas get out their mind and not get tricked out their spot
the murderous sh~t i like to jot a get their blood flow to stop
it’s inevitable in other words que sera sera
where i’m at if you ain’t ready to squeeze your gun get out of dodge
cuz 10 times out of 10 he who hesitates dies
hustle what you can through day and night here we economize
trust nothing we question water how we question solid rock
i seen a lot of souls taken but they’ll never take mine
the streets been waitin on the god i tell em greatness takes time
what’s understood ain’t got to be explained i never say why
they fear my raps like i conjured spirits in the sayance
them hard days i made it through is how i became wise
yea i k!lled rappers but you should’ve seen what i did to shaytan
may i boast and brag bout how my flow hang glides
how i been a brick and it’s legit cocaine lines
they was intimidated cuz i was sure of who i said i was
after i hit the cross roads this was way before the buzz
drunken hearted man who the streets pretended to love
they can’t get on my level they ain’t been through enough
they don’t know how to adjust they can feel who the best
the signs are all there i’m even heard by the def
in the ghetto
angels flew and fell
wars upon us still
today
in the ghetto
cuts are deep as h~ll
wars upon us still today
