lyrics

verse 1
sky walk rap flow, rhyme on scaffolds
robes have wings these fly long tassels
Macho, Kingly, petals hand plucked
from red roses preceed me, revelers stand up
hats off to greet me, zest in their eyes
they'll treasure this moment for the rest of their lives yo
top of the planet yeah i made it ma, victory is
sweeter than Waymond and Bernard and they hatin' hard        
 
chorus
this is what I wanted and I got it, schemed
and I plotted, t's crossed and i's dotted
sitting on a bountiful harvest and yet
i'm still starving, what's going on kid
(repeat)

verse 2
bounce on keys just like Josh Baskin
got big overnight all y'all gassing
all star stats with mascot actions 
clowning with the flow, count stacks while i'm rapping
a toast to my moment supposed to be gloating
but homesick, seeking the Zoltar machine closest 
at a crossroad intersection, introspective
reassessing my direction
went, from totally meek to totally chic
a phony mystique, erroneously
making amends for the days i was praying instead
of paying my debts on stage and making this bread,
i made a pledge like... wont be no buildings titled after me 
but before I’m maggot feed, tragically or naturally, i guarantee 
this world will know I occupied it, 'cause i'm a get
mines kid, shining while i'm palming my privates right 

chorus

verse 3
i ain't a people person, yet people seemed to like me
hand i offer kindly and they grab and squeeze it tightly
trying to make me their emotional dumpster
baggage handlers only seeking temporal comfort
common thieves who commonly preyed on generosity
with no apology or shame for their atrocities
finally Atlas' shoulders relaxed, i took the
globe off the back like it's over for that
wouldn't have guessed i'd be making this bed
never was rich, famous obsessed
thought i'd be cool with some pocket change to spend, a slight 
upgrade of my threads, plus some sincere praise and respect
and yes, i likes the ladies and the ladies likes me
but ain't really trying to be Sweet Reggie in these streets    
already bored of it, this money for nothing
lifestyle leaves me more hungry for something

chorus
