Deviate (feat. Khi'leb & Clariyah Bo$$)

He came in guns blazing like an internet spat

Started thumbs up, ending with a death threat

Debating what is going on lately

First saying no, now maybe

I hated every one of these moments

Will it be one of these moments?

You put all that work in, then nothing to show for it

Got no dough for it

God knows we owed for it, ay

I'm a survivor and I'm reaching for my lighter

You're a cicada, yeah, the frequencies are brighter

I'm in the Ghost and I'm ascending in the night air

We getting closer but we'll fight another day

Cast out a line to a sea of blame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name (Deviate)

I'ma hold your feet to the **** flame (Deviate)

Deviate

Cast out a line to a sea of blame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name (Deviate)

I'ma hold your feet to the **** flame (Deviate)

Ay, look

Never knew I'd be the man like this

One in a million stand like this

I've been told that my pocket froze

And I couldn't d-d-d-d-dance like this

I was stuck in the middle, in a jam like this

Oh please, gotta pray on the ground, both knees

I could throw sand to the feet of the man who demandin' receipt for my plan

But I'm back in the streets, packin' the heat

Stuck on the corner with a bag of the defeat?

Been paid fees for a minute

And it's hard to believe that a brother's been down for a week

I just want a new plan

Just what I'm finna say to the man?

Just what I'm finna say to the man if he ask me what we're gonna do to advance?

Actin' like they gon' help you out but you look back and they dash

I been runnin' outta sick days, I ain't even made for this task

I been down for a minute now I can only speak on the past

Whatchu know about a nine to five every single day for the cash?

Cast out a line to a sea of blame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name (Deviate)

I'ma hold your feet to the **** flame (Deviate)

Deviate

Cast out a line to a sea of blame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name (Deviate)

I'ma hold your feet to the **** flame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name and I'm coming through

Propaganda potent, my soul is searching for what is true

I observe a lot and don't speak unless I am spoken to

I don't trust nobody 'cause I don't know what they open to

Hard for me to focus when they sell us all this bogus

How can we not notice all the lies that they have sold us?

Living under hypnosis, it's no wonder we feel hopeless

Need a leader just like Moses who can execute, exalt us, set us free

I just need these chains up off my mental

Yeah, this shit is hell but still I'm fighting off the devil

Need to make it right before my soul could ever settle

And let the light destroy what they assemble

All of this conditioning make it easy to influence

The public can't be listening, man, this shit is ridiculous

I say let it all fall

Let it fall, let it fall

Let it all fall down

Let it fall down

Cast out a line to a sea of blame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name (Deviate)

I'ma hold your feet to the **** flame (Deviate)

Deviate

Cast out a line to a sea of blame (Deviate)

If I got a problem I need a name (Deviate)

I'ma hold your feet to the **** flame (Deviate)

Cast out your line to sea of blame

If I got a problem I need a name

I'ma hold your feet to the fuckin' flame
