[ Featuring Shy'an G ]
Yea
High Grade
Listen
Locked in my state of flow, yea
Locked in my state of flow, yea
Locked in my state of flow
Y'already know
Listen
Now
I shoot as many shots as I need to turn and remain fluid (yea)
Form self-taught all I learned was to pursue it (huh)
Dinnerless nights gave me motivation to do it (true)
Powered by a dream but batteries not included (nah)
Nonetheless I'm energized (yup)
Movin' too fast to be identified
Ironically tho they recognize
Cnd so they jet like flies
But what's insects to pesticide?
See I ain't frettin' bout nothin' (nah)
I set aside my time to exercise my flesh and mind
Improve and progress refresh rewind
Cnd sanctify 'til all I got is gems inside
Then I trade 'em away in a valuable exchange
Whether one-to-one or one-to-many
Baby check the range
Give more than expected then tell 'em to keep the change
In my zone I'm just tryna be the change
I'm locked in my state of flow
Just in case you ain't know
I'm locked in my state of flow
'Bout to put on quite a show
I'm locked in my state of flow
See the glow see the glow
I'm locked in my state of flow
That's my status quo
Cnd I heard 'em say
Take your time but don't catch life slippin' through your feet
You won't know what it's like to sail across the emcees
Take your time but don't catch life slippin' through yo feet
You won't know what it's like
It's like,
Look
Remember what it was like?
You heard you for the first time?
You felt that cringe like a strike?
Then became love at first rhyme?
They didn't wanna hand me the mic
Now I own it
Kept it together but I felt all eyez on me
When I stole it (haha, yeah)
Character carving moments
Whatchu expect? Two artists joined forces for this installment
Picture Laura Waring and Basquiat in East Oakland
You'd be remiss if you didn't acknowledge these walking exhibits
Listen
It's more than what you see and choose to nit-pick at
The world is your canvas and not everybody will learn that
Want your carbon prints to last with fossils?
You gotta earn that
I know what I'm aiming for no one else can discern that
Filtering ain't always good I know sometimes I miss out
I bank on breaking the brink of extinction of this here sound
Look
Bear witness, flip a coin, and watch the pages turn
There's no escaping these faces
Time to learn to surf
Flow State
I'm locked in my state of flow
Just in case you ain't know
I'm locked in my state of flow
'Bout to put on quite a show
I'm locked in my state of flow
See the glow see the glow
I'm locked in my state of flow
That's my status quo
I'm locked in my state of flow
Just in case you ain't know
I'm locked in my state of flow
'Bout to put on quite a show
I'm locked in my state of flow
See the glow see the glow
I'm locked in my state of flow
That's my status quo
