lyrics

[Verse 1: Defcee]
I’m not easy to love...it’s just rare that I’m hated.
My name is mud, but that’s only the translation.
Skated circles around the holes drilled in the ice
By middle-aged men on the hunt for children to fight.
brilliant advice: earn the affirmation rather than expectin it,
Rappers cryin for mentions like we’re parents who neglected em.
The latter’s a legitimate issue to address,
And the former’s a matter of being insignificant in the press.
Was depressed for the same reasons...then I made twenty-five,
Killed my self-saboteur, and the rest of me came alive.
Pride or integrity--pick one, and stick with it.
The time comes, you could sacrifice either in triplicate.
This isn’t “Takeover” or “Ether,” fam--it’s different.
Wanted to root em on they only found joy in division.
Doubt crawled away, I barricaded in the kitchen.
No respect in the mix, the two of us never blended.

[HOOK (x2): Defcee]
Molded something magic outta clay.
Hit ten thousand hours, not a rapper-of-the-day,
Better than they’d imagined. It’s got em sad and amazed.
I’m just masterin the craft, they don’t even gotta stay

[Verse 2: Henry Canyons]
Walked around the block while the clay dried:
readjusting expectations takes time. Tried to shake it
off--oh, no “Hey Ya.” Day jobs. Fake sob
stories. Reevaluations leaping outta faith
and feeding figments of imagination, weighin possibilities.
You kiddin? It’s triple distilled, gettin my fill.
If I didn’t share, it doesn’t mean I didn’t feel it.
Otherwise, how will they know? No need to advertise my healing.
Picklin my wounds. Big Apple. Side of grind.
Pink peppercorns better bitin bigger outta life.
Crisp to the touch. Tart to the taste.
This business is getting caught, and making art along the way.
Walking round the block, spinnin dreidels made of clay.
Gimme gimel, sick of fittin in the middle of the frame.
Is it the same? This isn’t a riddle. Lookin in the mirror
Coming of age. It’s humbling, summoning the day.

[HOOK (x2)]
