"Neandertal"

from CLIFTON · host CLIFTON

Grefe Lezter "One step closer One step closer One step closer I've been closing, open to close in any style of clothing, no need to post it When I'm in the streets, they think they know me I'm in the concrete like a teenage foot mold I'm looking at all this ass like, 'Where does my foot go?' Let's have a public game of football and see where it goes From the crown down to the foot sole, God found me and took hold I can't do anything but keep going, it's like I got a jones in me, a cold sickness Steel in my ligaments, brain fulla filament They wanna see the cards, well deal em in I don't play for tricks, I compete for wins Til I hit em with the glory shot, Kobe, and that muhfucka keep floating These words are coming from me, what, you need some more ID channel? This ain't your government talking, nah, I had to say it once for safety I guess But, you already knew this right? I'm still back n cracking Ain't no co-writers for the real Beef Matter of fact, I'm a nerd for stats, stories and passion, and all the analytics I'm a man of action, I ain't lacking attention, the second I drop I get flooded with mentions I mean views and secret agendas, the numbers I do it don't make sense It wouldn't be the favorite of many the rich and famous, thick in the game and subterranean But they can't hang, boa Go ahead and hang it up, though I'm more lucid than ever, I spit like I'm hearing it from heaven, just dead it I'm on every day of the schedule I'm a multi, I feel like I'm from Malta I just need a bridge to the coastland or the homeland, and I'll be posterizing rich Gulf guys on both sides Giving you more than Moorals of the story This gas so rank it smell like sulfide, riding round the Northside Shout out the South, right back from the back of my mouth They're missing a Sip, the fish n the chips I can't pass a young startup's background check but I can pass a federal government one with fingerprinting, huh They got these barely singing, hardly keeping a beat, not really teaching, writing, performing things And they are not me, yea I'm a freak I am steadily creeping my way into the ultimate arena, a phenom ready to go toe to toe in a freestyle Roll with the punches, I'm a man of my own I throw a patch on it and I'm back in the fold Out the corner, they thought I was a corpse I've been out the mold, like new chromosomes I am a Neanderthal, I took a DNA test Turns out I'm a different type a folks, different genetic code You are a racist now that I got the quote, heh That makes sense to me, why I'm so obsessed with centipedes, grassclickers, toads I remember seeing that lynx amongst the ferns, I thought it was a hoax That foxhole, when I saw the timberwolf, we stood staring at each other til he ran off I feel the air, water and earth, sometimes I just gotta get covered in dirt Yea I'm a jerk, but not exactly like you personally I have too much respect for hard work and a lifeform's purpose I pray one day I can come face to face with an antelope, they always called me that Maybe it's just my spirit animal or another one in person I remember getting worked by plywood, now I give you those 2 by 4's They said, 'Get down lil bitch,' I'm still alive Many of my friends committing suicide, gun shots in the night like, 'Kah, kah, kah, kah, kah, kah, kah' While the train rolling by-y-y-y-y-y-y And they wanna relate, I'm not enough modern Bitch I'm a survivor from the Northside, might as well be from Saturn When I look at America, all I see is patterns You want that light in the night, I am the lantern Listen, it's sad, but we all die from cancer, I'm just tryna get my hands up While I'm on the outs and I'm still an asshole You pro-pills, anti-tobacco and probably swallow You have split ends like a swallow, and that bothers you I came straight out the pothole I feel more comfortable around myself I feel more comfortable around myself"
