ref: 

Leave the mess to rest and the beef on your plate.

Let’s all call it equal, nothin’ to compensate.

At the rate I’m goin’ I’ll just need a cup of fuel

cos’ I’m chill on travelin’ wit’ my back pack and a mule,

not a lot, just a few, not too much just a little

not in excess, just usin’ the minimum essentials.

Bein’ chill for me ain’t confidential:

straight faced behind my ear is a number two pencil.

Leanin’ on the wall, just slingin’ fastballs,

no priorities, just drinkin’ from Pandora’s Cup of tea.

Whassup wit’ me?Nothin’ B,

layin’ low at the coffee house wit’ the family and a few anonabeats.

It’s chill mode and there’s no code you need to get in,

So, cut all that fuss and sip on the mocha blend.

Beginnin’ to the e-n-d,

it ain’t nothin’ to my

Pre Chorus

And I’m wakin’ up to my off campus college castle;

flies on the ceilin’ and a wall full of spackle.

I don’t recognize my sink anymore it’s a black hole,

and somethin’ smells like last week’s cheese casserole.

Chorus

Ah yes, some zest

A little spice in this hip hop fest

So feel free to stretch

Ahhhh, and feel refreshed

Cos’ we have no need for your beef (Understand that the message I send)

Is of respect upon a beat (Agent Orange on intellectual blends)

-

She came at me with an attitude, so what was I supposed to do?

Smack her in the face and beat her down with my own two

bare hands??? Naw that ain’t the plan.

I took a step back and said, “Aight then”.

Because before I meet you, I already got respect

until you cross that line then your card is out the deck,

but ‘til then, don’t fret,don’t get twisted in a mess.

Some people pull out techs cos’ somebody hurt their rep.

I just pull out my text pen, kick it wit’ my friends

when I feel a little on edge and stress level 10.

So, what do you plan to dowhen someone gets mad at you-

bust shots back and forth through windows on the avenue?

Bullet holes in your brand new Chevy Malibu

just because ya’ let ya’ bad mood cop an attitude-

caught one to the chest, now ya’ layin’ on the ground through,

so they took the keys to your car and your new shoes.

Rushed to the hospital, got your chest lubed

so they can pump more volts into you than Pikachu.

Your life barely saved, now, dumb would be an overstatement

to describe the situation of ya’ life almost taken.

Most don’t really know the meaning of relax.

Intelligence becomes irrelevant to the fact.

Shake that load off and cut ya’ self some slack,

and when the beef approaches, take a step back.

Pre Chorus

And I’m wakin’ up to my off campus college castle;

flies on the ceilin’ and a wall full of spackle.

I don’t recognize my sink anymore it’s a black hole,

and somethin’ smells like last week’s cheese casserole.

I pass the mornin’ with a drop or dab of soap

and hit the closet for my clothes so I can get up and go.

A minute or so, is all it takes to get the day started

for the hardest workin’ emcee in his southside apartment.

and hit the closet for my clothes so I can get up and go.

A minute or so, is all it takes to get the day started

for the hardest workin’ emcee in his southside apartment.

Not a gram of glamour or a dash of fashion,

rockin’ slippers and pajamas in and out of my classes.

Passin’ wit’ an “A” best believe hell yes sir

I ain’t even showin’ up to half the lectures.

My time’s expensive, and I’m not about to spend it

on a shirt from Abercrombie, just to make an impression,

so I’m dressed in whatever best fits and lasts

and I’ma ride my style bumpin’ up and down ya ave.
