On with the magic, strong with the pad
Shit I'm addicted to the flame and nothin's wrong with the habit
Hold the drama, yeah, spare the theatrics
Nuff actors tryin to hack it so I came around to bury the hatchet
Got a vision and I'm fully attached
I'm tryna relax with somethin spicy and some gold in my glass
Somewhere on the other side of the globe that I don't know exists
Just another manifestation, I got a growin list
The world's throwin fists, I duck and I one-two
Spit a couple bars into a bucket of drum grooves
A lost art some might say, but it's alive and well
You can be the judge but best you wait until the final bell
No split decisions I'm in tune with my trajectory
I learned to allocate my energy selectively
Elect to be the version of myself I've always visualized
Turn this shit up if you're listenin, I think you feel the vibe

Time and time again I find me and the world goin toe to toe
Is it in my mind or is it real? Think it's all the same, but still I'll never fold
Time and time again I find me and the world goin toe to toe
Is it in my mind or is it real? Think it's all the same, but still I'll never fold

Took a few hits in the past that made my knees buckle
Ever think I won't bounce back? You get a good chuckle
Underestimate me ? Catch a mean one to the cranium
Place goes crazy while yellin out, Adrian
The days of bein lazy are behind me, this is high stakes (steaks)
Like eatin ribeye on roof tops, I got fine taste
Bathin in the ice bath, my mind state is elevated
I don't care how minor the achievement, Ima celebrate it
Squashin self doubt yeah I'm gassin on a speed bump
Smashin to the stu to cook a slapper with a mean thump
Dr. Green Thumb plantin seeds of a fertile flow
Too clean for the machine, call me Serpico
Ragin Bull, still scrapin Dinero (Deniro),
The day will come where they're askin for a sharehold
I'm runnin up the wall instead of walkin down the street
And I'm kickin raps to breathe instead of breathin in to speak, what

Time and time again I find me and the world goin toe to toe
Is it in my mind or is it real? Think it's all the same, but still I'll never fold
Time and time again I find me and the world goin toe to toe
Is it in my mind or is it real? Think it's all the same, but still I'll never fold

Time and time again, somehow I make it seem like me against the world,
Oh oh,
And no matter what I know that I aint backin down, ah yeah
Gotta go toe to toe, pound for pound, and there won't be a thing to keep me down

Ah yeah
