15. Metal Hearts (Produced By 9th Wonder)

Verse 1:

Follow that,
no apologies for the tone of the holla back,
but all we tryna see is a opening outta that,
fuck the outta reach, I’m going around the back,
need a role model, tell them role model that,
I speak upon it & see I ain’t running outta raps,
pray that if you follow you take the horror up outta that,
take it for what it be, take it for what you need,
plainer than what you see, say it & let it breathe,
serenade on the beat, & serenade me at the same,
I give them me so if it’s me that they blame,
then hey, no shame, no sir,
just rubber bands around the shit we concur,
rubber bands around the shit that we earn,
get enough rubber bands & everything is a blur,
but without enough of them anything we prefer

is a mirage, so I need garages now, ya’ heard?

Hook:

Heart made of metal, shoulders made of stone,
I talk through the echoes, & throw away the hope,
another day, another dollar, go for what I know,
another day, another dollar, I go until it’s gone

(Repeat 2x)

Verse 2:

And now it seems,
all the money possibilities surrounding me,
are adding up to everywhere that I’m about to be,
some of the most heinous, but the whole aim is,
to be a one & done, never have to go again it,
so yeah I’m gonn’ gain it, & be around to see it,
convey the stresses to every section the crowd is seated,
stoop dreams & splitting a 2 piece,
& pointing at better cars & learning to loop beats,
mask on, my emotions are velcro’ed,
I’m past gone but the only one that can tell so,
so I tuck it, ain’t no reason to up it,
reach up above the oven & see the dreams in the cupboard,
pay them no never mind or see them & get to running,
whether to them or from them, intuition is jumping,
’bout as bright as the lights that you’re measuring under,
loud as the sound of the pound sitting next to the covers

Verse 3:

Celebrate for the way that we levitate,
I never wait, tell them to get it straight,
but I know that when I move, the eyes that’s on me

are the eyes that I cherish most so I’m tryna be all clean,
but I be doing the most & hope they ignore the lead,
but if they don’t, I’m guilty as charged, it’s all me,
still I, celebrate for the way that we levitate,
I never wait, now tell them to get it straight
