Black Baethoven - Conundrum (feat. Dandy*) Lyrics

We got police out here killing people like it's hunting season
No retaliation, no violence, so tell me what's the reason
Nobody stands up for us, nobody out there speaking
Just because I'm breathing doesn't mean my heart is really beating
I'm a dead man walking, so you know I'm always speeding
They say I'm on the menu, but I refuse to be eaten
I grind on the field just to ball on the weekends
And never go out to clubs 'cause niggas tryna get even
It's not because I'm scared of any suckers out there tweaking
It's because I'll enter fine, but then I'll probably leave there bleeding
I got good eyes, so I can see what no one else seeing
And I live by faith, but at times, I rely on my demons
Forgive me for my sins, Lord, I ain't gotta lie to you
For everything that I done did and everything I'm 'bouta do
Dodging obstacles, I know the opposition chucking
I told you pussies, you don't know me, you'll end up missing or something
Young nigga, don't you know no good
Have you ever seen somebody make it out yo hood
Have you ever sat and laughed when you wanted to cry
Have you ever had the devil look you in your eyes
Young nigga, don't you know no good
Have you ever seen somebody make it out yo hood
Have you ever sat and laughed when you wanted to cry
Have you ever had the devil look you in your eyes
Look me in my eye, look me in my eye
Look me in my eye, look me in my eye
Look me in my eye, look me in my eye
Look me in my eye, and tell me it's just fine
Look me in my eye, look me in my eye
Look me in my eye, look me in my eye
Look me in my eye, look me in my eye
Look me in my eye, and tell me it's just fine
Look me in my eye
Success is just a sign of a job well done, congratulations
The end result you find when a race well-run, congratulations
But life is like a marathon, I'm on a steady jog, yeah
Cuz sprinting through the city had me choking on the smog, yeah
I get in my zone, it's like a whole 'nother me, whole other me
I be switching up my flow like it's a whole other beat, switch the beat up
I'm the best man for the job, doing good is my career
Just because sometimes we fail doesn't mean that we should fear
Work ethic is my weapon, waging war with evil ways
When it's all said and done, ain't looking for the praise, nah
This music is matrimony, I'm married to the melody
There's something 'bout the harmony that makes me feel incredibly, incredible hulk
Rummaging through records got me feeling so irrelevant
Funky jazz and soulful rap have always been my preference
Keep my head bobbing, as the beat moves my soul
The rhythm is conviction that carries my heart home
Young nigga, don't you know no good
Have you ever seen somebody make it out yo hood
Have you ever sat and laughed when you wanted to cry
Have you ever had the devil look you in your eyes
Look, I feel disbanded, Dandy, or is it Phantom
Taken for granted, and they just left me emptyhanded
And now I'm commanding you to stay the f*ck out my way
And this just they wanted, now I remember I used to stay
I write something new every day, because I need to
Say you rap better than me? I don't believe you
I won't receive you, reputation proceeds you
Your talk is cheap, so I ain't got reason enough to heed you
Steady getting faded, but no way I could vanish
I send these bars in a card 'cause a nigga just stamped it
If you tryna get afloat I'll sink your ship like Titanic
We'll knock you off and get someone to take your place like a stand-in
I can't hear you, don't wanna be near you
The weapons on your waist still ain't reason enough to fear you
I got my niggas with me, and trust me boy they got gear, too
Dump your body in the river, let the current steer you
Remember back in '15 when we was pushing the ma'ams
You got them glizzies? Pullup on us 'cause we need 'em at hand
Any nigga playing stupid, f*ck around and get fanned
Can't let no nigga get one up when I'm just tryna advance
Drip drip drippity drip drop, the hip pop
Why you gassing Macklemore? Nigga this ain't a pitstop
You call it "rap music," but nigga I call it "pish posh"
White girls offended like, "Oh my gosh, Josh"
I haven't used a number 2 pencil since I was 16
Guess the world is moving on from certain inefficiencies
Crazy how the witnesses of crimes against humanity
Can let a person go free just because he plead insanity
Young nigga, don't you know no good
Have you ever seen somebody make it out yo hood
Have you ever sat and laughed when you wanted to cry
Have you ever had the devil look you in your eyes
