lyrics

A
If life is every man's kingdom,
then some are tradin' it in for a horse just to say that they sling some.
We're either targets for archers or the pets that they walkin';
groupthink and doubletalk us into they corner of the market.
Sellin' us a shackle for a chain and a whip;
cling to every word, we hang from they lips
like dangling spit: six-shooter mouthpiece, we stay on they hips
'til we bang on some shit.

B
Rappers nowadays ain't got no pride, B.
Remember back when 'Pac was gettin' popped in the lobby?
Next day, checked out the hospital, like, "Fuck your IV
and your police detail. If they want me, they gon' find me."

C
I could give a damn about a golden phonograph.
It'd be nice...but I'm not holding my breath.
Same reason I don't wear my soul on my neck
cuz I can feel somebody else's sole on my chest.
And that footprint's huge;
all these Mr. Fix-its tryna Goodwrench dude.
But peep the moonshine that this fool Def brewed. It'll drive the blind to vision
and give 'em the Stevie Wonder shakes when I'm vibin' with 'em.

D
I'm in the darkness, candle handlin'.
Stayin' on my toes spoutin' flows...cherubin'.
Anybody dope from my scene, I done ran with them.
My name is Adam Levin, but they called me adamantium.

E
I fight with the spiked fist at the end of my right wrist,
so if your head's at the top of my price list,
protect your v-necks, stay-flats, and popped collars.
I'm the Don Dada, reach longer than Doc Octo-
-pus.

F
Push piff rap, gift wrapped
like I had white fluff and some chin fat.

G
This that let-the-liquor-tell-it-all-blends-perfectly.

H
Blood in the dojo and both of my palms burgundy.

I
People always try to compliment me on my music.
It's appreciated, but I try not to listen to it.
Give 'em dap, keep it movin',
stay out the swine, and count all of my blessings like Yeshiva students.

J
Sky ain't the limit now that I drop stars.

K
Candy stands and State Street: I got bars.
These are Visine rhyme schemes: eyedrop bars
until I'm seven-meals-a-day-at-IHOP large.

L
(What's that got to do with the beginning of the verse?)
I dunno, jo, I used to take Adderall.

M
I'm out there, Agent Scully...while you playin' dummy,
I'm holdin' down my place on Earth until somebody come and take it from me.
