Clouds Songtext
von Locksmith

Ayo light up
This a gummy beat
K-K-Kato on the track

Head in the clouds
I don′t need handshakes and I don't need smiles

I don′t need nobody's hand in my pocket
To siphon my profits or eat off my vows
I been on tour for like 52 dates

I knocked a new one in 20 new states

I been uneasy on how they receive me
The crescents conceive me, you cannot escape


You ain't gotta listen but it′s still fact
Most of these niggas be steady trickin′ but I still stack
I know the difference between a sucker and a real mack
I am from Richmond, when I was young they instilled that
I hear the shit that you niggas drop and I calmly
Disregard any credit so you can never con me
Now you got the nerve and the gall to ask me
What I been feelin', my opinion is nigga that′s beyond me
I got a different kind of agenda than entertainin' pretenders

Came in the game with splinters, it was costly
I can remember when you had tried to dismember my credibility
Silly rapper don′t ever try to cross me
God bless you, I request you to keep a large gap
Between me and the raps that you peddlin'
Now you wanna come and play damage control
Manage your soul, I′ll be right here
After the dust settles in, settlin'
How do I take the negative, narrow it to a narrative
Narrowly reachin' my goals, you froze when the air was thin

Would you rather follow a dream or a meme?
I′d rather follow my heart, a stark line of comparison
Comparin′ me to the next man is shiftless
If you don't see it now, don′t ask later forgiveness

I don't do friendship, I do business
Either you bear arms or bear witness, listen


You fuckin′ with a true one
I can see the snakes when they do come
I can see the stakes when they do run
But you don't see the place that I grew from
It′s Richmond on mine
You felt a way but act different online
You take my kindness for weakness
So fuckin' egregious, you don't deserve none

I been in front of the fronters and frontrunners
Who front numbers who run from us
And come at the comet you come summer

So many you sonned under my underside are uninspired
I come alive, you come at I with a sunken vibe
I summarize your sum of lies
And every son of a bitch, bitchin′ my sudden rise, suckin′ life
My undivided is unrequited
I become quiet as soon as you niggas sigh or you sub a lie
Don't expect me to write off with a light scoff
The nights off you took predictin′ what I thought
So I bought into the bullshit that you sail with

Now I'm much wiser, I umpire your sales pitch
You frail bitch, you′re paper thin and unholy
I tell you what the universe had once told me
You can say what you like with no concern
But every action comes back in return
I'm turnin′ my back now, I never will back down
I back down whenever you lash out
Rather would hash out instead of the fast route

I cast out any distraction
Niggas use social platforms for egotistical traction
I cashed in on my own terms then ran back
Self determination determines where I would land at
I ransacked the industry, fuck your empathy
Instantly niggas try to retract from where they stand at

You can't rap but your vibe is pushin'
The immature recognized to provide a cushion
The more mature look aside at the times we shouldn′t
America eats its young, we subscribe and push it
We supply the dinnerware, we been aware
If we don′t feel instantly entertained, we look away for bigger fare

Pick a pair of hot artists, I kill 'em both
And watch ′em fall prey to my lyricism and growth

You fuckin' with a true one
I can see the snakes when they do come
I can see the stakes when they do run
But you don′t see the place that I grew from
It's Richmond on mine
You felt a way but act different online
You take my kindness for weakness
So fuckin′ egregious, you don't deserve none
