It is written


We stand between God and the devil
We say we turn our backs on the evils 
But we’re acting as willing shields for demon’s whims
It sorta looks like we teamed-up
When really we’re just tryna get our cream up
Said if I could make it here 
Where niggas never learned to share
I could make it anywhere 
I don’t wanna hand it to myself so I’ll be candid 
I deserve the accolada, I demand it
And that’s 
cuz I kill em all and I stay 
Right on top of what I slay
I don’t care for my prey 
Disrespect I might pay
But I say to you, love your enemies, 
Above all, love how they fill cemeteries 
bless those who curse you, they should get a verse or two
do good to those who hate you
The irresponsible fools tryna unmake you
and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you
Yea, be 
Be like I own this
I own this
I own this
That twelve car garage where my home is
Depart to the party with all of my homies
We roll up in Rolls and roll out with the Rollie’s 
Deep pockets, big rockets
Bout to blast off 
Life designer, ocean liner
Bout to cast off 
They’re calling me the...
The least expected of beasts 
The most unrepentant of the east
It’s the CyX 
 
It was written like God’s word
Let there be Rap
Of the grade of Duckworth 
Be the Beat Slayer like The Seeker with the sword of truth
The verbal boot kicks ass in the march for eternal youth 
Immortalized by the booth 
Shoot
 
We stand between God and the devil
But I’m just tryna stack my bezels
Take it back to the hood so my fam can go up a couple levels 
Keep the rhythm unpredictable, it’s all fun and games 
But we play in the mad city
Pity’s only for the tame
Such a shame you most of us don’t get a taste of the fame but I’m pretty sure we all couldn’t handle it the same
Can’t wait till they realize real art only actualizes from the act of fighting all the pressure that surrounds you 
Cuz it crystallizes 
Makes you pull out the big guns, the new devices 
Bout time you up the measures 
Haters do not really hate you.
They hate themselves because you're the reflection of what they wish to be. ✌️
The issue is, they gon’ try to recreate you 
In their image, ain’t no damage cuz that’s still ish to me 
To spit with me, you gotta get rid of that halitosis 
Cuz you getting this close is giving me doses of things my very nature opposes
I’m a theoretical monopole but still the coldest
Shit done froze, did you notice?
 
(It was written like God’s word)
The time is fulfilled
The future revealed 
and the kingdom of X is at hand. 
(Of the grade of Duckworth)
Do this while you live 
Repent and believe 
in the gospel.
Or who knows where you’ll land
(with the sword of truth)
Cut through the lies and you’ll find that the light still lies deep inside with you
(Immortality.. )
You really shouldn’t be surprised by my rise 
I’ll never be a fatality 
Might lack humility 
Only God can touch me so in your eyes
I might as well just be a poltergeist 
Sip from the poultice that my soul provides 
Big mistake, you can’t make me 
Pull up in a wraith, you can’t race me
I just write a verse for the kids 
A dirge 
I live on the edge, 
I live on the lid
a jar 
I live off the grid 
Look what took the roof, a bar 
Anyone witnessing’s 
bout to be X to me 
With x’s for eyes, you’ll see what the lesson be
Wavy like the god of the tides
When all you see is blue, you know where I reside 
But you know I ain’t a merman, this lion’s got his pride 
Perilous hideous thoughts steady on my mind, viciously defined
Gotta get what’s mine, fuck waiting in line 
The benefits of stacking that paper, nigga raise yours
The hood gotta fit before we pull a caper, gotta erase scores 
Cuz on these floors there’s no discourse 
Either boujee bitches or they piss poor
What else a nigga gotta live for
