The Underachievers - Butterfly Effect lyrics

rate me

Ft. Espa, Flatbush Zombies & The Underachievers

(Intro)

Yeah, yeah, before the tours, uh

(Lemme hit that way)

[...]

(Verse)

Before the tours have filled the calendar

I wasn't ? smokin' cali bun

And I accepted rap, eyes red from that

Five a.m. flights, eyes red from that

Mr. wouldn't cop a white one if it came in black

Fifth to thirty cities while you witnessin' my cheechy scratch

Type of shallow nigga, fuckin get your lady back

Constructed in the lab, Flatbush where they raised me at

Now I lost some friends, but fuck it we don't need em'

We barely friends before and we don't talk for different reasons

Mom's all sad, pops gon' snap

Make some difference in this world before your mind goes black

How can a nigga do his homework when his mom's on crack

How can I produce a record that be equal to that

Erry time I play some new shit, I'm just stickin' to swag

My motivation for the youth is how we bringin it back

(Verse 2)

Bringin it back, bringin it back (here we go again)

Been waitin' so long it’s like they use to that crap

Hip Hop been my life, I'm just used to the facts

Sellin' dope not an option, ain't new to the trap

Faggot niggas wanted the fame, they use to the back

My niggas boardin' a plane, Insta vid that

I'm confident as eva, my tolerance is low

For hatin' muthafuckas doubted me like I ain't dope

Crack, say the word chap, I leave a skull cap

Morbid with the 4 5th and the boss pit

Torture, hot, burn it, like a perm quick

My melodies is heaven sent, y'all ain't heard shit

(Verse 3)

Old days, back before the rappin' and my aura swankin'

Youthful savage, used to dream of passion, now we make it happen

Rap disasters, overlord to rappin' actors, whistlin' talents

Spittin' average, told my king descended upon this planet

Rare to see, serious thou be, I'm a starseer

My light-beam across the nation, changing tastes, uniting races

Hide your placement, laugh at basic, ninety angel, tempt to Satan

Blend it up, equal greatness, rock the podium with my statements

I'm the thirteenth king raised up out the monarchy

Palm trees, roll it up, dedicate it to my sovereignty

Fuck this separation shit is tasters, we one entity

Like a bunch of shit stirred in the pot but still one recipe

Indigo the leaders, puttin' the youth thru training nigga

Neva thought we would make it, now we unpluggin' it from the matrix

Spit iconic, Issa Gold, the proper way, the youthful conscious

Truth won't stop us, my light stream shinin', blockin' out they nonsense

(Verse 4)

Brooklyn born and raised and say we freesome, say we caged

But they hold the key to change they ways

But mine be sleep, they mental slate

You not in my league, I see thru the great

Cut the pot then I leap thru the asses and came

I go cry out the corridor with immaculate brains

Hold up, I'm beast and I cannot be tamed

Remember when we were starving, dreams was tarnished

Hoping one day we'd be ballin', ain't that all us?

Now we done it, use your brain and neva forfeit

Now I talk how I'm living with conscious

Good intentions, flawless karma

And this mission keeps us stronger

Fight for the day we be peaceful and honest

(Interlude)

I would die for erry single nigga on this track, hold up

It's only right that we bring it back

I done died for erry single nigga on this track, hold up

It's only uh, that we bring it uhuh

(Verse 5)

I'm that fool for damnation, need to let out frustration

So I threw a Molotov at the nearest police station

Tell the reaper that I'm waitin', shit, hell would be a vacation

At least I won't need a lighter to spark up them Cali flavors

The point is to read the book and burn the chapters after

Why are we movin' backwards? Mentally we still in shackles

Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last

But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand

One day, I'll have a queen and she won't need no weddin' band

The weight of the world I benchpress, no flexin for the Gram

The man that travels many lands withstands and you can't understand

Your standards, I am over them, feel like I am petroleum

The chosen one, my tounge's a sword for ya, I brought my loaded gun

I got this ongoin' battle with this shit, depression

The pressure is buildin' up but fuck it I ain't givin' up

And even if I did, so what?

(Hook)

Time we waste, when we slave in vain

So butterfly away, come visit heaven's gates

Time we waste, when we slave in vain

So butterfly away, come visit heaven's gates

Time we waste, when we slave in vain

So butterfly away, come visit heaven's gates
