The Kick

[Verse 1: XV]

Countin' my blessing watching Inception

But I'm living one of those scenes

Where everyone knows it ain't real except him

They can't convince him to believe

I know this life with all the lights and how it ain't true

But fuck it, I don't wanna leave

Cause you can never have deja vu

If you don't ever dream

Uh, successful stories never told to us

Tryna make ends cause we never got what was owed to us

School never grown on us, Pops never shown on us

Open sesame, see the street never closed on us

Moved white, and didn't see much green like a ski slope

Now I see so much green that I could be Hulk

And people think I relocated on the East Coast

But I still hold it down in the town I speak for

Towing my city behind me like it was repoed

In a game full of sharks but there ain't no cheat codes

XV can take a hike, I'm Tim Tebow

Matrix Reload, face it, he cold

Rep the 316 I'm 7 30 in the mind

I'm that dude hands down, 6 30 when I rhyme

I'm a 235, always in my prime

And it's 4.15, meaning it's my time

Was I a nerd cause niggas acted like dim wits

Or was I truly just gifted in academics

To get that with these lyrics that I was rapping like christmas?

I could number 2 on all of the doubters up on my shitlist

Pissed my little brother has to miss this

Told my momma she'll never watch from the sofa

Tell my haters, hit record on they remote controllers

Until til my totem falls over

[Hook:]

This is the life that I never will forget

I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit

So I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick

I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick

This is the life that I never will forget

I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit

So I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick

I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick

Wait for it...

[Verse 2:]

Lord can I change my life with these sentences

When I got boys doing life cause of sentencing

I'm dealing with it every night, that's what penance is

Barred like Bruce Willis but Die Hard With A Vengeance kid

And I'm in this party where all these women is

Tryna find where niggas with dollar bills and Benzes is

Finally left what I wanted for what I needed

Can't be the girl of my dreams if you don't close your eyes to see it

The road less travelled, where both of us were headed

Said it would kill us, I told you I won't let it

When my life was plain, most bitches jetted

You said boy I've been down like toe touch stretches

I even set expectations and you never ever met it

But I gave you my heart you ain't even call a medic

Now she telling me to leave her alone

But I can't like she got bad credit

I guess it's deaded with me and you both have left it

In eternal sunshine but my spotless mind won't forget it

So I accept it and pray no-one intercept it

Given the globe my soul and hope everybody accept it

Making it is never what you expected

I told my girl she'll never watch from the sofa

Tell my haters hit record on they remote controllers

Until my totem falls over.

[Hook]
