lyrics
[Chorus]
I read more than you, wrote more than you, rapped more than you did
fact or flex don’t matter it ain’t no coincidence that I’m sick
yes, yes, I been the best and I ain’t needed to flex
test me that’s a good way to damage your rep
conservative, Burkean, serving em, murking em
read more than you, wrote more than you, rapped more than you did
fact or flex don’t matter it ain’t no coincidence that I’m sick
yes, yes, I been the best I ain’t needed to flex
test me that’s a good way to damage your rep
conservative, Burkean, serving em, murking em
[Verse 1: Sans]
each reference is a signpost
just mapping out where my mind goes
INTJ assertive, no turbulence
philosophy, that’s permanent, you want the truth well I’m serving it
each verse of this is a minefield
subversive tendencies cause I’m real
I disagree and speak the truth
up all night, won’t sleep or snooze, it’s biphasic, no time wasted
[Chorus]
read more than you
wrote more than you
rapped more than you
read more than you
wrote more than you
rapped more than you
[Verse 2: Sans]
Here’s the truth:
This system privileges wordplay, images
disguise merit-based, test score: heaven’s gates
filter on never see, just imagine, let it be
lyrics hide simple truth, falsehoods in the news
not a prophet, not a saint, I’m a liar, yes I ain’t
not journalist, no AP, ex-cathedra apostate
set a sail, out to sea
bed of nails, on bended knee
read more than you, wrote more than you, rapped more than you did
fact or flex don’t matter it ain’t no coincidence that I’m sick
read more, but still a fool
shoulda studied the golden rule
