	I wanted the pain to go away
	I masked myself but it knew
	It’s me
	Running the same sadistic 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
	Nigga 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 teeth
	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 hell
	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
	Shit I treated straight Everclear like strawberry daiquiri
	And I shitted on niggas 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 shit
	Mental shit
	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 shit there’s no safety blanket to live
	I been dangling niggas 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 hell
	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
	Niggas 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
	Niggas 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 niggas get out their mind and not get tricked out their spot
	The murderous shit 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 killed 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 hell
	Wars upon us still today
