RE$IDUAL $ELF-IMAGE (feat. Ayanda Jiya)

Goin' off, goin' off

Goin' off

Goin' off

Forgive me, I'm goin' off

For all the non-believers who were there when I started off

Ever since I made it, I ain't hear not a word from y'all

I know that you pray I fall, you need a new prayer, dawg

That's why I be (Goin' off)

Forgive me, I'm goin' off

Fifty thousand for the night and I might just blow it all

She's riding with me for the night and I might just show off

They know when I arrive that I make the city small, yeah

One-two, one-two, yeah

Acknowledgement without the accolades

Still, I celebrate 'cause any day could be the last time I hear this record play

My heart is in a better place, my mind is in a different state

So I don't even care how much the records made

How many lives can this record save?

How many minds can it liberate?

Feeling like I'm liable to make a change

Here I stand centre stage as I take a leap of faith

I let the music lead the way, all that passion I put in the game

All the credit that I never claim

Yet, I'm still amazed at how they always finding ways to slander my name

Life is a gamble but, like old people at casinos, dawg

I'm here to stay

They know when I arrive that I make the city small

One-two, one-two

This shit ain't a hobby, it's a lifestyle

****'ll tell you likewise

I say **** referring mostly to my guys

Nothing like those humble days

When all I was to you was just nothing more than a lifeline

**** think they're brave enough to take mine

I ain't never been the type to take five

Especially when I'm behind enemy lines

In position, minding my own bid'ness

But **** keep sniffing, impersonating a K9

I keep telling my mother that I'ma make time

Great things take time, I'm on a mission

Total demolition, world domination, operation fuck-the-system

**** know we ain't kidding this side

**** know ain't nothing killing the spirit this time

****, just keep that in mind

A **** like me keeps getting harder to find

Told her a **** like me keeps getting harder to find

They know when I arrive that I make the city small

Watch them hating, praying for my downfall

**** catching feelings 'cause they know I walk tall

They know when I arrive that I make the city small

Watch them hating, praying for my downfall

**** catching feelings 'cause they know I walk tall

'Cause everything, it feels so right

Is it really so hard to believe?

Your clothes are different

The plugs in your arms and head are gone

Your hair has changed, your appearance now is what we call residual self-image

Yeah, they tried to black-ball me but I'm still putting numbers on the boards

You boys are only known for shaving points like Paul on The Longest Yard

I know you ain't who you think you are

You a bad liar, stop trying hard

Quit talking like you got priors

You don't wanna start an uproar with the man I stand before

These **** got pride like a group of lions

I'm in top form, they won't admit I'm killing it on every platform

You're in the presence of a god, ****

Hold your applause, if you gon' put your hands together

You might as well send a prayer to the Lord, you hell bound fucking with the boy
