Reasons for living caught on despair and disdain? 
Thinking loneliness will be the only thing we can claim 
And take to our graves, with mistreatment killing the urge 
In search of presenting this world our true worth! 

A mentor told me, anger is having your fist clenched 
Which meant you can't hold onto being upset or vexed 
But the same grip on the mic I wrap around
Is what I'll use to punch emcees in the mouth and shut em down 
Worked out, lifting weight off like a bench press 
But Drent expressed "somethings are better left unsaid" 
Which makes sense, in my head, a saying I believe 
But to his disbelief this time I gotta disagree 
To remember me, I'm addressing this nonsense 
On this topic everyone's dodging, let me be honest 
First to hip hop, I'm sorry I wandered off, got lost 
Left it all, didn't stick, move, or ever fought 
Doesn't mean I'm loveless, over all I love this 
I hate to watch life abuse your culture with injustice 
Sucker emcees, we're back together like venom 
Reuniting his symbiote after spider man thought he dead him 

Ya'll write schemes and hooks, it's all about the bars 
But when you fade away, no one knows who you are 
Passing of the torch isn't something you can inherit 
Legends never die... they don't stay in remembrance 
We write dreams and push every once til we fall 
But when you speak for the dead, they don't have to respond 
Passing of the torch isn't something you can inherit 
Legends never die... they don't stay in remembrance 

Every mic I get on, anywhere, I rep Providence 
Yet not once, do people even acknowledge it 
Preposterous they consciously disguise obnoxiousness
As an arrogant attitude covered in false confidence 
A facade, a ruse they play, it's all a game 
Like everyone else, whats original if you act the same? 
It's stupid to catch side looks from the scene 
"Man, they shout you out on stage but they don't call you Kleen" 
It's not about your creative bars, rather your intention 
Details you've penned in, hows your audience affected 
Can we sense your affection? How long were you pensive? 
Are you approaching honestly or only seeking attention? 
Disappointed this has to be brought up or even mentioned 
But I'm tired of half assed writing by marks in question 
Who misunderstand tension and run on like long sentence
It's never about aggression, it's about how you finesse it 

Ya'll write schemes and hooks, it's all about the bars 
But when you fade away, no one knows who you are 
Passing of the torch isn't something you can inherit 
Legends never die... they don't stay in remembrance 
We write dreams and push every once til we fall 
But when you speak for the dead, they don't have to respond 
Passing of the torch isn't something you can inherit 
Legends never die... they don't stay in remembrance 

Exposing who should be your heroes, with malice and scorn 
I'm tired and torn from being ignored and even bored 
By rappers who claim they're hot, are actually lukewarm 
With forced rhymes mispronounced but they proudly endorsed 
Thinking they're better than me, having no way to fucking prove it 
With wack attempts, cheap results that seem useless 
And it bothers me they preach quality like top scholars 
But dumb down lyrics in attempts to double dollars 
Now that's worthless, forgettable hooks, feeble verses
Off dubs under the surface, and production is a disservice 
What do I improve if I'm already the best? 
Truth is... I've mastered most need several attempts 
Despite intent, delusions can't cash reality checks 
So I've come to push weakness out like last reps 
Not feeling anyone, stiffens necks like rigor mortis 
Time to put you guys away for a while like rented storage 

Ya'll write schemes and hooks, it's all about the bars 
But when you fade away, no one knows who you are 
Passing of the torch isn't something you can inherit 
Legends never die... they don't stay in remembrance 
We write dreams and push every once til we fall 
But when you speak for the dead, they don't have to respond 
Passing of the torch isn't something you can inherit 
Legends never die... they don't stay in remembrance
