The whole bars on fire
Shit that's fine
And yall won't hire
If I did that crime
And so far I'm tired
Of the live fast grind
But my bars are fire
So I spit that rhyme
I really wish i had my pops
I really wish he hadn't clocked
Sometimes i sit and stare at all
His old ID's and scattered socks
Drop a tear
I catch and stop
Put it behind a padded lock
Think about my peoples overseas
My heats a shattered box
I think I ought to someone
I hear it helps
But getting outta this shell
Is worse than fear itself
So now me and my older brother
Don't really talk anymore
I think my father death's related
But I'm not really sure
I tell myself it's cause I'm busy
And an I'm rocking a tour
But it's more
For grief
Ain't no one providing a cure
Suffer visibly
had enough of misery
Every time I make one of these songs
I'm never listening

Jesus what an absolutely stunning collection of hip-hop. If I have to be a dick, this album is more of a mix tape in style, the aesthetics of each song is just so different, there's a certain level of narrative disconnect. That said, the actual songs themselves are fucking ill. Packed with dope features, each one matched with Scott's production makes for a genuinely rewarding listen. Rest easy man, you'll be missed. always_kos
