And this is Project X, yo
You would think I'm DiCaprio way I put on a facade
Lost in translation, selfish acts ain't reflecting my God
Polluting my brain, filled it up with smog, I'm an awe
Numbing the pain, feel like I became a fraud
In the midst of it all, I put a lot of people at odds against me
Not lookin' for sympathy, just understand me
This is real, I hope you feel
I got carried away, I'm still Chief's Dookie bae-bae-bae
I know where I come from, I know I'm his son
I know I'm sincere, I know I'm not revered
Due to past action, actin' out instead of taking action
Downing the bottle, not takin' my foot off the throttle
Cuz told me drop my girl and start chasing models
That's some lame ass shit nigga
This some real ass shit nigga
Went back home had to regroup Out here chasing validation
Bum ass nigga doesn't even have a coupe
Seeking verification over spiritual stimulation
Creating speculation over my relationship
One, two, one, two, one, one
Exclusivity gave me a different pedestal
That I wasn't using as a proper tool, what a fool
Had it all, dropped the ball, choking when the moments bright
Game seven, primetime, Kirk Cousins, Chris Paul
This that life you wanna live?
This that love you tryna give?
Nobody's plottin' on your downfall except yourself
Just put your hand out, you know God's tryna help
Burnt so many bridges, I feel like I'm isolated
Know I'm at a disadvantage 'cause I'm melanated
Yeah, I hate it, but that's no excuse, back in the day
Vada Mae was on the swivel duckin' crackers with a (noose)
Jordan Year's here, and it's makin' me sick (sick)
Lookin' at time pass with another tick (tick)
I know you want it all, but look in front of the wheel
Grab the stick, you don't have to stall,
It's time to heal, and that's real But
Y'all ain't ready for this one (ten, nine)
Feel like we at the Kennedy Center (ignition sequence starts)
Are you ready for liftoff? (six, five)
Local Blacksmith in the kennel (four, three, two)
Heisenberg playin' with phenyl (one, zero)
Goin' live like we on Kimmel (all engines running)
Arthur Fleck, I'm about to go fuckin' mental (lift off, we have lift off)
'Til the break of dawn yo
Houston, we have a problem
Malcolm... Where are you?
Heard the people fiendin' for another one
Ain't no problem, I supply then make 'em go dumb
This that nicotine fix, when that dopamine hit
Back up on my bullshit, like you can't tell me shit
Elevatin' like we on the space station (space station)
Steady geekin' after leavin' the rotation (stay geeking)
Suburban nigga probably won't be on probation (no I won't)
Guess that's why I'm always lookin' for elation (always lookin')
Not a killer but I'm about to go Thriller (no I'm)
Not from the five-o-two, but I will go Tiller (not, from, but I, will, go)
Feelings colder than the winter, lord knows I'm a sinner
(Lord knows I'm a sinner dawg, damn, man)
Show my ass like a clown, r-runnin' round town
Fuck priorities, too busy worried about sororities
I'm takin' in this lifestyle before I reach paternity
I got ol' girl on her knees, shawty's praisin' me
These the finer things, crazy how I'm livin' now
But I've done seen stranger things, I'm talkin' rager things (it's lit)
Crazy how you numb to the pain when you gettin' brain
Sip up on Patron, now I'm on one, back in my lane
Malcolm... Where are you?
Not a killer, but I might go Thriller
Not from the five-o-two, but I will go Tiller dawg
Imma let you know right now
