Camouflage battalion, I ripped up the carpet at the Marriot
Tipped the bar while carrying a chariot
I’m burying a hatchet, lifelong barbarian assassin when I rap shit
Scary when I’m active
I’m borrowing ya lighter, the nine to five is swallowing the fire
I wallow in the mire on the wire
Smoking one dart but can of VB been on repeat
It’s a blood bath like Pentangeli
When the feds ran to see who’s the hero amongst us
Drunk-I’m knocking them down like Justinian Jumpers
Dumb kids are swinging while my penmanship punches
Junk- I’m throwing them out like they’re benefit luncheons
I was a train wreck, dividing my pay check
Lying like I played dead, want to live a life without regrets
I’m on a strange flex, slide like I’m Wayne Gretz
Tried to remain friends while climbing to the apex
CHORUS
I went from Brain dead to climbing an apex
Kind of looking straight edge
I’m calling that a strange flex
Yeah I’m calling that a strange flex
DIALECTRIX VERSE
Yeah I’m eating better (Whut)
Yeah I’m sleeping better (Whut)
Yeah I’m drinking less and thinking clearer
Tripping how I’ll be remembered
My form of therapy range, to bring a change
My knee bent in the ring, this pain keep me engaged
The rage I had is gone and lost replaced
In a transitory state I break locks and rip off the chains
I stop, weight, shredding up an old image
The alternate, version of me that’s cold chillin
Bulk billin, not getting paid for being ill
My skill set on a mindstate still seeking a thrill from real
Challenging times, to try feeding my kids
My biz chewing up days this pay needed to drip
Like drops across roof tops and crops to stop the drought coming
I truly believe that I’ve found something
I work smarter play harder climb and mount summits
A new and improved you stunning without fronting pal run it
