HATE THE GIMMICKS

Verse 1

gnarliest beat I've ever had to get on microphone cords a cobra coiled

up with the venom cornucopia a Thanksgiving feast beats around the table so you

know I'm about to eat sink my teeth deep let the venom drip

slow bars of sub zero when I

pen him this cold howling at the moon first night of the hunt

are you aware this wolf will bite what he wants my dogs with no

muzzle another piece to the puzzle don't let them sneak in the huddle

remember they don't want trouble they want you blind to the light walking on your own

wasting all of God's time scrolling on the phone they don't want you

waking up and smelling coffee they would rather have you in their box a coffin or make

you a carbon copy of the copycats a shout out to the real

men who've had enough of that I

want the song to be a block for all my running bags now

bite down on that mouthpiece and run it back going through the motions

Hook

lately drowning in this ocean lately trying to rest my soul at the same

time now trying to hate me looking online internet yeah she trying to bait

me feeling up my mind can't forget how the Lord forgave me lately

I've been going crazy maybe you don't know my rabies foaming at the mouth

nah I'm just zoning out booked a one way flight so ran off to the outer

limits used to love hip hop now I

just hate the gimmicks I

Verse 2

used to love rap songs that could rip my heart out but nowadays

rappers so paid they're getting bought out nothing's changed they want to change

they pull the stops out they make a name blame the fame man it's such a cop

out bring the cops out swap team I'm going in I

can't stop now I got heat like arsonist college dropout I

got beat no argument but don't be shocked now by the beats and bars I

spit don't look at me like you never had a dream like you

didn't give up on it just to do the normal thing ask yourself

is the place that you work the only thing you want to do

before you leave earth or would you rather hop in a hearse then

hit reverse put those fears in the dirt tell me what is life

worth there's a lot that can be said for those excuses you've given

each excuse is a noose so are you living going through the motions

Hook

lately drowning in this ocean lately trying to rest my soul at the same

time not trying to hate me looking online internet yeah she trying to bait

me feeling up my mind can't forget how the Lord forgave me lately

I've been going crazy maybe you don't know my rabies foaming at the mouth

nah I'm just zoning out book the one way flight so ran off to the outer

limits used to love hip hop now I

Verse 3

just hate the gimmicks the flow is hot enough to make an ice

cold sniper mount bars are so frigid they float off to the Kuiper

belt had to share my heart you know I

can't hide myself poets have no poker face look at the rhymes of Del

Colorado River flow before the Hoover Dam my reflection in the water shows

you who I am shout out to my homies back but to the ones

who got no backbone on Instagram I

don't understand how you live a life that's pixelated eight hours of screen

time man that's devastating yeah that's a full time job staring at a screen

why don't you trust God and start living out your dream put the selfie

stick down and pick your Bible up you're in a war zone boy

pick that rifle up we could build our faith but we build our idols

up we respond to God with the praise I

don't trust or is it OMG homie IDK all I

know is he's the light who can light the way and when you

wake up he's the one who lights the day and if persecution comes

Hook

would we fight to pray going through the motions lately drowning in this ocean

lately trying to rest my soul at the same time not trying to hate

me looking online internet yeah she trying to baby feeling up my mind

can't forget how the Lord forgave me lately I've been going crazy maybe

you don't know my rabies foaming at the mouth nah I'm just zoning

out booked a one way flight so ran off to the outer limits

used to love hip hop now I

just hate the gimmicks
