Wrote this in the country, I was staring at horses It's kinda nice to be still, I've been frankly detouring I left my soul in every city, it's sad but it's honest The amount of morning-after pills, I should have an endorsement First year I really tapped into my audience You won't be asked to pay respect if you cannot afford it See, if the fruits of my labour's to rap every morning I should Frank Ocean the label and channel my orange I hope I'm one step away from that place there They told us that Craig would only have seven days there He came back, sky is just a limit we place there Lightning struck twice, guess it really can rain here, I rate that We're all signed, yeah I love the water splashing waves fam Used to want to be a ninja turtle when I was eight fam We were young shellers eating pizzas in estates man I'm still here in a tight circle, that's the same band I pray I never see the day you're switching sides on me We've always been adjacent, you could never slide off me Now I'm living righteous, only fish in my body Imma do or die properly, I got human rights on me When your child dropped, it was like another child from me And if it pops off, then we'll be side-by-side, obvy I wish you all the best but that's never life's story Cos if Whitney was the moral, how would you define Bobby? Think about it, and if you can't live without it Don't let it go, take it home and build bricks around it Just try set it in stone, then stick around it Any time you feel it in your soul, that's the gift about it Disallow it or the control to make you drink about it I fell in the zone and woke up in a liquor fountain That's a tight space, a dark hole can have a thing about it Bet you didn't know that going in could be a killer outing I've had conversations with the best newcomers And the worse old runners and the jewels they got were free Cos I can only give you me They don't tell you how to live your dream without the sleep How on the weekend you're the man but it gets lonely in the week No surrender, no retreat, some family on your tree now Can only see your branch when they used to hear your leaves Used to share your feast Then no-one was hungry soon as the GOAT became the sheep That's why I am pescetarian, it was sink or swim in the aquarium Either break the glass or you share with them Shots at me but I can only give what I receive There's gun powder on my clothes now, washing my machine I dealt with the matter when that was all that mattered You ate all the pies while I was sharing out the platter And Judas on the table is like a Buddhist with a hammer Bringing peace with a piece, you want the passage or the passa? Make your bed, you lie in it I sleep so comfy, I hope I die in it So if you wanna scar, lemme know, I'm Lion King I can make a movie, live forever and die in it They're praying on my downfall So I took off in the spring and touched down in the fall I hope I gave you what you wanted Running from police, I was wanted My future wasn't promised, that changed when my neighbours were the wanted Not engaged but she busy doing for the D challenge How 'bout we make a challenge for our children to be challenged? Overcome the odds of black people getting married Probably tell me suck my mother cos, you don't know where your dad is And I feel it for you, just be the man of the house Don't let the streets abhor you Blood of a king, heart of a slave, you should keep it royal Don't let the streets employ you Cos that's a slippery slope, and it's either grease or oil Until you hit the soil, did you reap what you sow soon as the reaper's got you? I've been there, got the T-Shirt, rest in peace to moral I know it seems immoral, but degrees are optional So we don't read, we follow So don't tell me stay woke when I ain't slept in three days Say I sold my soul, I want my check from E-bay If you love the rapper, then respect the DJ Cos without one, you couldn't mic-check the replay If I was a player man, I'd probably take the knee I'm no longer a player soon I'd probably take the knee I'm shooting through the hoop, I'm trying to make a baby free Already got a major team, I'm trying to make a major league So would you rather mud on your jeans or blood on the leaves? I've seen my mother cry when her little brother deceased I'm family orientated, I have to uncle my niece This type of outgoing, you never underachieve Still felt like the gift when there was nothing under the tree My poor mother told us that nothing's coming for free Now the show's sold out, everybody's coming for free And I can see your heart, and it's barely touching your sleeve Don't tell me about circumference, that ain't circumference to me I'm from the type of circle with (censored) up then we leave And this squared circle ain't WWE Keep acting like you're raw, you'll get smacked down in the streets All I see is fuckery every time on the news The hurricane really just took their lives and their roof Their whole life, all of their family under one roof God made the wind blow and it really took 'em to you I guess he must be missing an angel, we got a few That shooter out in Vegas, he really gambled with youth To even out the odds, should let me snap him in two And fight fire with electric and shock him out of his shoes Charlie, that's me! I'll get you hit before it hits Don't ask me about the balloons because I was it before It And if they don't say I'm nice then they didn't play it thrice

What was that censored bar

[@richardpoynter461]

Just one thing on the second line. Its 'Ive been Frankie De-touring'... He is continuing the horse metaphor and using famous jockey's name Frankie Dettori. Nice work on the transcription. Amazing to follow the lines as he goes. Cheers

Anyone else love how he says ‘I’m not gonna interrupt you’ as he interrupts twice
