Lyrics

Verse 1
They said “K you kinda soft, you rap too positive"
while kids turn killers, wondering what role model is
and for all these wack rappers I’m not tolerant
i keep my feet firm in my beliefs, others wobbling
dude I got more swag then vets hobbling
but speak soft ,carry a big stick forget hollerin’
I flow mystic don’t miss it mystique is what it isn’t
Digest this concept, 30 chews before swallowing
And beware of MC’s, many fraudulent
We all rappers but speak different, like a homonym
I lift more feet than an Ottoman
tryna reach my limits just to peak somewhere honoring
while most move their mouths, but really saying nothing,
like puppets, rocks I chuck it, show my hands like a mugging,
I ain’t thuggin’, druggin’, dealin’ dope by the dozens,
If music’s relative I’m Slanging hope to my cousins.
I’m peeling my scars with 16 bars
Record it, press it, hard and charge to credit cards,
Here to raise the bar, watch your head when I move it,
gimme one verse I’ll leave your head with contusions,
egos I’m bruising, with more flavor than cumin,
season, chop it dice it, fry it up I call it music,
chef kero one here to slice through illusions
gimme one verse I’ll clarify all confusions
CHORUS
I put my mask on and take it off
I put my mask on and I take it off
I put my mask on and peel it off
Time to clarify time to clarify
Verse 2
They say k, you slanty eyed, from around the bay,
Did ya race rice rockets, long bangs in your face?
Did you commit misdemeanors with your disagreements?
Get all vehement and come out the mouth like bulimics?
I had my moments, but I tried so many different things,
Good at most everything except Listening,
Bmx’ng , skateboarding with black and the white kids,
Born a pisces , licensed to put rap in a vice grip,
round the age of 14, I wrote my first 16
it wasn’t till’ 18, when I started beat making,
deejaying, mixtaping, freestyling on stations,
“sway” gave me props, to me my first standing ovation,
adjacent, to gracing my confidence replacing,
all those that said I couldn’t rap cause I was asian,
I’m saying, don’t just stand there in amusement,
Give me one verse I’ll clarify all confusions
CHORUS
