lyrics

Cheap seats but the sight lines decent
What's the beef? Talking past or recent?
I'm checking out, damn yeah I'm checking out
Haha, fuck this shit yeah I'm checking out

(Mykele)
A bad ambassador but fine connoisseur of truths
My daily pursuits get tangled in the booth mix
The blueprints be air tight
Yeah bruh I’m there tonight
but let me smoke this pre roll
just let me get my head right
Don’t roll but I write joints
at high points in my life
I stay shaded like Mary J. In 95
Don’t go outside tho
cause 5 0
They ride slow
And ready to spark reactors like Chernobyl
Cooperate? But I don’t know you
And I don’t owe you spit
So back up and pull up yo mask before I flip the script
Like what’s yo badge number
And why come to harass me fast
While I’m on my way to buy some groceries
I’m flowing oh so openly on this track
Just pass the proceeds back
To the activist keeping us in tact
Cause ya know we all gotta eat
We standing for better that’s why staying in street sustain the energy fight
Me max and rich be like
Pass and assist for life, We all spices
I’m eating good, my girl smile is priceless
Strictly essential, spit facts but make em sound enticing
Never drop that poison, like Walt & Jesse with the Ricin
Can’t stay concise on a diet of beans rice I’m rambling
Fill every shopping cart in the hood and reverse some damage move the cameras
And move some brothas on the campus
Redefining the curriculum,
eat my wheaties and stay the champion

Cheap seats but the sight lines decent
What's the beef? Talking past or recent?
I'm checking out, damn yeah I'm checking out
Haha, fuck this shit yeah I'm checking out

(Rich)
Good grief, no nothing good about it
Feel's like I'm locked in and the world's on auto pilot
Every night sirens, don't get too much silence
I'm listening to the sounds of a mind misfiring
Petite problem from the onset
Living offsides, haven't been flagged yet
How to live right and still get the bag
May not be doable, I'm thinking it's a bad bet
So what's next?
I cradle the bottle neck
Tobacco leaf getting stretched until there ain't none left
I need time, I'm, I'm, I need time
You don't get to ignore arms outstretched
For so long, before long
They'll think damn I gotta mine
I gotta get mine

Cheap seats but the sight lines decent
What's the beef? Talking past or recent?
I'm checking out, damn yeah I'm checking out
Haha, fuck this shit yeah I'm checking out
2x
