Crutch - Up to Speed Lyrics

In 1996 on June 27th
Warm summers night first time I went to heaven
Started writing rhymes down when I was thirteen
Started recording em round 2011

All of these thoughts that spill on this page
All of this tree lets roll up and blaze
Spreadin out love you comin with hate
Chuck the deuce deuce im showin my age

If that's the case then f*ck out my face
Runnin and runnin in hundreds of ways
Muster up somethin and keep up the pace
One time for one time im reppin the Gate

NC's realest Boro say it clear and thorough
Member all them summers we would travel down to Myrtle
Now I hop on tracks but aint jumpin over hurdles
In it for the distance gotta figure out the business

Been too busy minding mine figure figure dollar signs
Did you did you compromise sign upon a dotted line
Gotta apple bite it fine maybe end up Spotifyed
Don't look now youll miss it a tidal wave is gliding by

My mind stream on the page my soul beam when on stage
Ya ain't open to change ya old stuck in your ways
No matter your age what's there left to say
This game is a maze these rappers is corny

All share one broad trynna f*ck her different ways
Im trynna find five bust all in they face
Cumming for they brain ain't sapiosexual
Ain't saying nothing but they still so intellectual

A emcee from NC could tell that initially
Heard Andrew Mason Crutchfield when I wasnt respectful
Knew shit was serious when it got to that level
If im being true im narcissistic neglectful

Lie to loved ones expecting it to be helpful
Too nonchalant it's whatever forever
Sometime sit and wonder will it ever get better
Roll it on up trynna get to my level

Take it on back before I had my Jetta
Fore I had the Mazda shit I been a monster
Back on a ten speed two feet on the pedals
Letting this pen bleed my heart in these letters

My girl ask what is we apart or together
Music my main bitch im wit her forever
Been there for the bullshit and all my endeavors
And shorties come and leave with the change of the weather

So different panties fall like every couple seasons
Few weeks fly by now we aint even speaking
Would talk all night and we started in the evening
Would fall asleep listening to the sound of you breathing

Learned not to say nothin less you really mean it
All the lies and bullshit nah yall can keep it
When that last time saw a lion actin sheepish
Member not always is the odds gonna be evened

And ain't got a prime no DJ premiered me
Still feel I'd kill a DJ Premier beat
Member begging God for someone to hear me
Rapped for Noch in the halls still see it clearly

Take it back to the roots the passion was swollen
Made music from scratch when the vocals was loading
And yo Colony gotta be a high key component
Of who I'm bound to be and they about to think

I swear he resembles the Goat a bit don't he
Reply with a head nod oh yea you know it
Practice progression forwards the motion
Say you a emcee gone head and show it
