Yeah
In my city I’m a staple like Vince, enemies stay hateful
No record label, the label on the record is MAPL
Started strong, my longevity’s eight-fold
Listen to soul, pop, punk, folk and Masego
Rhythm extemporaneous, temporary, circadian
I’m the main event, game over, play again
High scorer, top of the three-letter hall of fame
That’s my name, later man, come back when you play to win
What’s my name again, blink once if you’re with me
Flow so slick, ’82 Grammy-winning like Quincy
Haters loud in the comments riding my clout
While all six degrees of separation bumping my latest
I don’t pay for a playlist but I paid my dues
Time after time and one of these days I’ll go A-List
Every time I see a chance I put my name in
I came in like a wrecking ball — stop, skip the record
Play Later With It
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope, yeah
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
My views in life are changing as I fluctuate from fight or flight
To hope as vibrant as my daughter's eye to the kaleidoscope
Every line I wrote removed a stable isotope
And as I lay each night awoke remain a latent type of dope
Pouring maple syrup on the beavertail
Listening to Gordie while I’m sipping on a Sleeman ale
Back when I was younger I would slaughter crews in Waterloo
I've chilled a lot and rapping grown man like Posdnuos
Rest in peace, Dave (goodbye Two) and my stolen youth
Lying to myself to make it seem like I don't know the truth
Talking ‘bout my family, issues of the middle age
Every single night, at the round table living like a King of Spades
Always syncopated with my theme song
Waiting for the sunshine so I can get my beach on
Roast beef with dijon, chickens get the hot sauce
Everybody ducking me gets served up like a foie gras
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope, yeah
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
Yeah
I was late to the party
Landed on a raincheck
My DJ request Bollywood pretext
I’m feeling it, stank face reflect
Green Day predates my PTS
My PTS, my PTS
These dead emcee scrolls my GPS
Got CBD to release the stress
Late night Letterman on VHS
Gas booth, grassroots, my emcee set
Microphone check between squeegee reps
Full serve, I got my full nets worth
Put my pen to work print to PDF
Been left on read, I know it’s been read
I got a lot to say that’s never been said
With skate tape mixtapes in my head
There ain’t no party like a party we break bread
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope, yeah
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
Too old to catch the hype train, too young to be a veteran though
Rhymes to cure your depression, I got that ketamine flow
Ready to go, been holed up since everything closed
Pent-up appetite, get that bread, raise up a toast
I’ve been reticent, let that be a lesson in growth
The question is how to know if everything’s under control
You see me roll with a couple friends that I know stay close
Don’t trust renaissance men who claim my wins as their own
I’m not leaning on a chance to blow up to know what I’m capable of
I’m late? So what?
I’m not leaning on a chance to blow up to know what I’m capable of
I’m late? So what?
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope, yeah
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
I never doubted what came out of the kaleidoscope
All I know is that it felt like hope
