UNTIL IT BREAKS

Lyrics

It goes a one, two, three
 I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun
 I don't need to sweat it when a competition come
 Original style like an 808 drum
 So I don't run the track, no, I make the track run
 My mama taught me words, my daddy built rockets
 I put 'em both together, now tell me what I got, it's
 A pretty smart weapon, I can shoot it, I can drop it
 But learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it like that
 ♪
 It ain't over 'cause the shark's on the left side, the snake's on the right
 And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite
 It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
 'Cause once they get their teeth in, nothing really fights
 And as for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
 And you can run your mouth like you can try to fill my shoes
 But steady, little soldier, I ain't standing next to you
 I'd be laying on the ground before you're even in my view like that
 ♪
 Give me the strength of the rising sun
 Give me the truth of the words unsung
 And when the last bells ring, the poor men sing
 "Bring me to kingdom come"
 It's something for your people on the block to black out and rock to
 Give me what you need like Poppa, who shot ya?
 "Separate the weak from the obsolete"
 You're meek, I creep hard on impostors
 And switch styles on a dime, quick-witted
 Y'all, quit tripping, I don't have time for your crying
 I grind tough, sucker, make your mind up
 Are you in the firing squad or are you in the lineup?
 Bang, bang, little monkey man, playing with the big guns
 Only get you slain, I ain't playing, I'm just saying
 You ain't got a sliver of a chance
 I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants
 So shake, shake down, money, here's the breakdown
 You can play the bank, I'ma play the bank takedown
 And no mistakes now, coming to get you
 I'm just a Banksy, you're a Brainwash
 Get the picture? It's like that
 ♪
 We swim against the rising waves
 And crash against the shore
 The body bends until it breaks
 The early morning sings no more
 ♪
 So rest your head, it's time to sleep
 And dream of what's in store
 The body bends until it breaks
 And sings again no more
 'Cause time has torn the flesh away
 The early morning sings no more
