lyrics

[A Double]
I got a lot of angles in me
I got the Devil and the Angel in me
Cos my city like an asylum ain't no hanging with me
If you never claimed it with me
I hope you get the picture cos I'm known to paint it quickly
Leonardo with the vision and my man Da Vinci
Around these lions and gorillas so they cannons with me
I play my advantage swiftly
You be thinking that he don't, but he do that
Cos growing where we grew at
Them niggas never make it so we gotta go and do that
I'm living where the zoo at
Where they all go try and figure where the loot at
9 out of 10 he done taught 'em how to do that
The irony to that is he ain't even have a clue black
I'm playing with my bootstrap
Me I'm like Nino to niggas because they New Jack
And before I said it he ain't thinking to pursue that
They giving you lies, we be everywhere the truth at
You wonder why you feel it when we speak it cos we do that

[Chorus]
A DOUBLE - True facts, and we still gon' pursue that
Cos you know we everywhere they say the loot at
One hand wash the other
And you know both hands where the loot at
WILL-POWERZ - And through that, dispatched in my terrain
We bridging gaps international to build acclaim
So when we hold it down, ain't the fact that we're afraid
Cos the man who holds the power is the man who has restraint

[Will-Powerz]
I got a lot of angles on me
Snakes tryna make a profit from me
Con me into rolling with 'em then they drop it on me
Think they're stopping me from clocking what's a problem for me
But I keep it locked like a safe-deposit box
Sorry but you can't knock me. Will treads softly.
Got you where I want you when you start to think you got me
A cocky state of mind ain't a good design to copy
If you can't deliver half of the potential you embody
You think it bother me that ontop of breeding hypocrisy
The Hip-Hop dream routinely makes gods out of mediocrity?
I'm like Socrates swapping beats with philosophy
Possibly ontologically formed of feature of prophecy
Stopped beyond the reach of what fakers speak when they rap
I'm waiting for the breach and I'll take a piece of it back
Sleeping on the whackness I'll make a beast of a track
Then feat on the pack of rappers that ceased taking the slack, ain't no irony in that!

[Chorus]
