lirik lagu mati - keep rap alive
[verse 1: mati]
quick
pass me the magic like i’m earvin john’
grass ain’t always greener, snakes be poking, gotta mow the lawn
shante told me, “focus, need to make it out, you irving star”
trap symphonies, midwestern melodies
had to break the strings attached just when we broke guitars
searched alert, then found my ego layin’ close to death
applied the pressure, bank account hit zero, felt the rush
pour the 1942 flows when i’m brushing off the dust (dust)
one bad relationship made me feel like i had enough
like i’m trending from the bottom up, pointing down at the laughs
and i believe in god, but this is not coming from the god above
and in middle school, felt them weird vibes at the lunch table
friendships passed in the back of my mind
always felt like the cool kids was the ones playing violin
caught my earwax just tapping in
breaking out the pencil raps, i should’ve started chiming in
stepping out my comfort zone, but i really know where comfort is
school was always secondary and i feel like, knowing that, it kinda gave me a sudden edge
the homies turned to activists, you probably thinking malcolm x
and it’s never no hard feelings, i sent love to all my exes (i sent love, yeah)
i just wished for a peaceful exit, but it’s never that
but i know it’s never that (i know it’s never that)
i wanna be known as legendary, but not michael jackson
[chorus: jaki cavins]
i’m used to never really speaking out (never really)
i’m used to waiting on the hand~me~downs (waiting on it)
i know that i can keep this rap alive
i know them people tryna sit me down (tryna sit me down)
i need a set of wings to fly (wings to fly)
i tried to sell this sh~t a hundred times (’bout a thousand times)
no more progression, rewind, lot on my mind (yeah)
i’m just tryna keep rapping alive, rapping alive
[verse 2: mati]
i spent hours searching and driving to get through my weeks
schoolboy left me inspired with “collard greens”
funny how we laugh, but not really, though
i don’t f~ck with a lot of n~ggas, but i hope the city blow
this that black tie and suit, i plan to show up until they’re tired of me
you gotta show up until they tired of you
i’ll always be intertwined to youth
environmental injustices gon’ make my trigger shoot
i roll the dice and land on the eight~ball, but i don’t dive in pools
this my generation carter ii
punching in every bar, told my engineer don’t stop the booth
i’m spitting free game in the end zone, but i still hear the boos
slightly aware of all the outside noise
i sit crouched in my chair, but i still feel poised
poised for the moment
i’m feeling seasick to my success ’cause i’m having motion
hate when they tell you open up, then complain about emotions
that’s the sh~t that cause you heartbreak
played darker teams, i’m running for the heart race
sermon play a lot of tricks, but i only do what god say
betting on myself while the culture focused on beyoncé
masked on with the lights off, n~ggas still dying in the broad day, huh
that sh~t k!ll me in the worst way
i’d rather see my grave than make friends with my enemies
like it’s four v. five, i swear we missing a centerpiece
when i score, the sun shines, i’m breaking bread with community
[chorus: jaki cavins]
i’m used to never really speaking out (never really)
i’m used to waiting on the hand~me~downs (waiting on it)
i know that i can keep this rap alive
i know them people tryna sit me down (tryna sit me down)
i need a set of wings to fly (wings to fly)
i tried to sell this sh~t a hundred times (’bout a thousand times)
no more progression, rewind, lot on my mind (yeah)
i’m just tryna keep rapping alive, rapping alive
[outro: jaki cavins]
keep rapping alive, yeah
keep rapping alive, yeah, yeah
keep rapping alive, yeah
rapping alive
just tryna keep rapping alive, rapping alive
