Lyrics
Knock it off (Sheesh)
You thought I'd switch up, ****, not at all
Yeah, go 'head and knock it off
Keep it low, bro, you not involved, yeah
Knock it off (Sheesh)
You thought I'd switch up, ****, not at all
Yeah, go 'head and knock it off
Keep it low, bro, you not involved, yeah

Who's that knocking at your mother****in' window?
The pressure of the past and the present with its info
Kinfolk, if you ain't down to stretch it, what you in for?
They guessing our potential, then betting what it hit for
One for the money, two for the flow you sell on
Credit, debit was coming, three for the advance you spending
Might buy me a five of something
Four-door, I'm thanking this **** who hand me the check to sign
Sliding off of this lot and hit sixty less than mile
When it's seven ways to tell you how bitter, flagrant, and vile
They stare in your face, then measure your waist to make sure you viable
Medicated to deal with the stress 'cause they know you buyable, uh
But innovation might get it, lil' homie, I'm a living testament to it
Made beats and raps for all these crackers, now my decimals moving, it's bad
Eight hundred **** at the festival moving
And now you nine steps away from where your destiny proven, it's mad
(Ten, ten, ten) Put ten on it
I come back and tell a story, you gotta I depend on it, I know
The pen honest, so when I begin talking, its honestly wind walking me through it
I'm still fluid, you can

Knock it off
You thought I'd switch up, ****, not at all
Yeah, go 'head and knock it off
Keep it low, bro, you not involved, yeah

Beware of the free dinners, aroma stronger than the disdain
Big chains lock in three-sixty, a slave despite your big brain
He smiled at me and praised to hip-hop 'fore we cut into feast
I recognize the game I'm playing, I know friendly a tease
He ****ed me up, though, brought Nat to vouch for my peace
She look like me, said she knew the wind, then showed me her wing
I know I'm smarter than smart, I even read the fine print
I tend to ration with self, a stepping stone for a bit
Okay, I owe them this now, but just to get where I'll be
Long as the budget get big and I stand firm on what's me
I signed it, and every day since, I bleed on these songs
I met the goals they gave me quick, but then they moved the post long, huh?
I thought they'd market at least, but I took that under arm
I worked for nine months straight, the audience getting strong
I made the project too, they pressed to move it along
Shit, I ain't slept the last week, then they post the audio wrong? ****
Deceit lies down beneath the breath of vultures that creep
Smug and unapologetic make the climb a lil' steep
No more branzino, baby, just keep moving your feet
Now kiss the ring and then go take from the teat, lil' ho

Knock it off
You thought I'd switch up, ****, not at all
Yeah, go 'head, knock it off
Keep it low, bro, you not involved, yeah

If it's rare enough, I can sell my blood for a stake in my pub
If my platelets get 'em drunk enough to sway
The tradition is minstrels, fulfilling fears a lil' sympathy
Or instilling belief that the human spirit can live through me
Lil' old monkey, lil' old junkie (Lil' old junkie)
Lil' old murderer turned lil' old flunky (Turned lil' old flunky)
Sambo to sock puppets, stockholders love him
Stockholm the locks, unbuckle, then he won't run still (Still won't run)
My toolbox commandeered from the master
The thumb screw look useful with a hand full of hammers (With a hand full of hammers)
Cheese come with crackers, fees come with backends
Step on the crack in your good intentions, your back bent
Knocked a knot across your gift, you rap to unwrap it
Scribble signatures faster, you shafted back in the shackles (Back in the shackles)
Boss and worker blurred, when you hurry, they serve you first
Then you learn your percentage worth is your earnings, purchase your personhood, knock it off

Knock it off
You thought I'd switch up, ****, not at all
Yeah, go 'head, knock it off
Keep it low, bro, you not involved, yeah
