I Can't Stop

I can't stop but I don't want to anyway

You see I am who I am all day, every day

Yeah, they're falling off like detachable limbs
The amulet swings, the anger within
The plans that begin, at the hands of a king
They land in a sinkhole
The underground dragon below
Now embrace, the foulest hate
The sour grapes, can't see straight
But somehow we found a way through the foggy haze
Lost in forgotten days
Rocking grey clothes if we were chameleons

Now they're creeping in the deep abyss
Evil shit, like the way the brick top feeds a pig
The deeper dish, nah, not the cheesiest
The fever pitch leaving spit on your doorstep
I do it for rep, I do it for passion
I do it cause it's either this or slacking
I'm back in the booth again
Fuck did I leave it though?
Crowds raise their hands, cause I'm a teacher though

A lot of people thought I wouldn't be shit

I guess they got a point with all that
No prospects, got no money stashed
No career, what you wanna do, rap?
No job, borderline hobo

World moving slow-mo, no hoes and no dough
One life to give, one life to live

No yard and crib, no wife and kids
Ain't got shit, just clothes and kicks
And broken Ritz, spit flows that's sick
Jokes don't fit, don't spit like them other mans
Build a future here, gotta get some other plans
Come on man, ain't settling for bullshit
Making moves swift, we are not stopping here
The gods in here, got gwop in here
We lost in here but got careers

I've done it for the fact of doing it
Then I did it for myself, now I'm out here doing it
From the booth to the stage pursuing it
Over loops with a page and a pen to ruin it

I stay motivated by doing this
Ten years deep and I'm far from new to this

That's cause love's got a lot to do with it
See I stayed in the scene when everyone was through with it
They wanna know how I do it with four kids
But only spitting bars, can you really afford this?
Nah, I'll be brutally honest
I'm not really in it to be talking some bullshit
I keep it real, I'm prepared for the hardship
Love what I do so I'm spitting regardless
What I gotta prove cause I've done it regardless
Do it all again just to say it regardless

I'm like Illy, pass the beat, I'll throw a flame on it

Straight demolish like paces in the rainforest
Painstaking cause the games played ain't honest
Like grenades in your face they blow your brain to make profit
How you gonna breathe when the earth lung's papering your wallet?
Don't mistake me for a wally just cause I go
Out shopping in the rain without a brolly

Keep it popping like ollies, not molly
So smooth like cameras on a dolly
On a standard, grab the ganja not the voddy
Not dismantling my body or rapping it for a hobby
This my life, I live it properly

Can't stop me, can't philosophise like Socrates
Bars indoctrinating new hypotheses
Check the velocity and oddity I am
But still, killing off the jam like I strangled it with my hands
Or piffing up the grams like a cannabis judging, damn
Man, I gotta do this for the fans

I can't stop but I don't want to anyway
(You can't stop, won't stop)
You see I am who I am all day, every day
(Til we're dead in the grave)
I can't stop but I don't want to anyway
(Won't stop doing this hip hop shit)
You see I am who I am all day, every day
(Doing this for years)
(Til we're dead in the grave)
