Lettuce feast :eat:


[Intro]
I know since I got my deal and shyt got real
I ain't been the easiest nikka to deal with
I'm heavily flawed!
But far from a false prophet
I'm a mufukking honorable Folarin
Cassius, Muhammad, McGregor, Conor of these rap artists
Why you targeting?

Mufukking Groundhog's Day

[Verse]
The most highly underrated of my generation
Behind them crooked smiles nikkas neglect to embrace me
Respect is in order now
My liquor is more to y'all
You throwing little shots, we catching some cases
Lot of nikkas hate to love me or they love to hate me
Labelled as reckless and crazy by my record label
Doctors say it's bipolar disorder, he diagnosing me wrong
It's obviously depressing counting blue faces

Hey, here go that real shyt
Battling anxiety and privately them percocets
Purchased like 30 of them, murdered them in like 30 hours
Weight of the world on my shoulders I bet I military press

I remember me and Cole would open for Hov
Everyday a star is born, I guess I died in the womb
I ain't make it on Blueprint, so made me a blueprint

You got you a nice watch, my minutes was finished
I was lost at Interscope
Contemplating on copping a block from Benning Road
Thoughts of suicide cause who gon want you alive when nikkas you used to ride with cry with all that high shyt
Talking down in they interviews
I ain't forget that Scott

Only difference is I didn't get no sympathy calls to get back up
I just heard a song about me on a hip-hop blog from a kid I know
Some nikkas say a hiphop god
It hit home cause there's some truth, this I know

This ace I go, I get psycho when shyt get dark
Boy when shyt dark
Like Laurene Powell I've gotten married to a job
I drop my jewels, spit my bars, I get mine off, I be pissed off
Should get more props but still I
Pimp hard, drink hard liquor to forget my thoughts
Push 3 buttons I make the joint spin, Balrog
Hoes say I'm the realest
Most hated on Twitter
Not to cause a situation but what side of my biracial friends call me they nikka?
Forget it
I'm jive tripping
But my skin is made of chocolate, a copper's bullets is diabetic
My mind busy, I'm sad daily though I deal with it
My therapist terrible, I'm a terp in mellow trembling
Real subtle though
Tell them nikkas Shine coming they in trouble though
I love my brother though
I love my brother though

That's why it's rest in peace to Tommy we still bumping Cole

[Outro]
And they say
For as the sun shines on candle mass day
So far will the snow swirl until May
For as the snow blows on candle mass day
So far will the sun shine before May

Now in layman's terms that means
All you naysaying, instigating, player hating
nikkas be safe though
I'm on my way to Raleigh so grateful for that inspiration
I'll see you at the game bro
Ralph

He's 3-2

And like @Ronnie Lott said... if we include mixtapes :wow:


His first two albums are great

His 5th is flawless

He's not perfect but got damnt he's close


When he's on..... he's on
Last album was dope. 4 mics probably.
First album was great. Need to revisit the Cool.

Lupe is like the boring physics teacher now. He speaks profoundly but isn't enjoyable anymore. Most of the time he is talking down on his listeners instead of going through the process with them. That's what separates him from the great emcees that make enjoyable music

Back to the topic though. Is there a Wale album coming? He seems like he is in a zone
You're crazy. Tetsuo & Youth was a great album

I thought it was an excellent display on emceeing but not music I enjoy replaying other than to decode. That's a great trait for a rapper to have great wordplay/metaphors etc. but musically it was pretty bad to me.
