VERSE 1:
Internal inspection reflection eternal/
Open the journal spread the ink and let it burn through/
Had to learn to constrict my inner circle/
Cuz cats is whack stab your back just to hurt you/
One minute they your nigga then they turn just like the earth do/
Give it to you straight up all of my verbals is vertical/
Plus they nurture you like the woman that gave birth to you/
Plus it’s hurting fools thats poppin shit which isn’t purposeful/
Past curfew pack it up shit its dead/
Two to the head, time to get my slice like a knife edge/
Cut after cut brotha poem after poem/
What really make a man is the components never shown/
So I know I gotta see past that pose that they hold/
Hoes and clothes 'posed to distract me from your lack in soul/
Guess you just riding your lane play your role/
And I’ma do this thing I got this mic in my control woah/
And I’ma do my thing I got this mic in my control ho/
VERSE 2:
Shining like the high beams, striking like he lightning/
Whenever he writing, no verses alike never striking twice nothing quite as nice as I be/
Please stay off of my steez ya better quit the biting/
The youngness thats on my team; me, myself, and Irene
That’s just how I’m riding, and I’m on the side seat/
And I’m packed in the back in my mind I’m five deep/
Five times the heat most MCs could conceive/
Speaking humbly hunting cuz I’m hungry/
I’m killing the first thing I see like Ted Bundy/
Ya’ll bammas is lunchin fronting like first class/
Straight ass last one to get the J passed they way/
Passed on they rhymes like collection plates/
I got more to say than muthafuckas stuck in Section 8/
This why I’m never straight when me and rap is sepa-rate/
CHORUS:
Homie me and mine doing fine
Me and mine shine by design
I just be scribing the vibes
I just be high off of life
Thank the Most High
Thank the Most High
Thank the Most High I’m alive
Thank the Most High that I’m fly
Wylin out the side of the ride Wylin out the side of the ride!
Homie me and mine doing fine
Me and mine shine by design
I just be scribing the vibes
I just be high off of life
Thank the Most High
Thank the Most High
Thank the Most High I’m alive
Thank the Most High that I’m fly
Wylin out the side of the ride Wylin out the side of the ride!
