brother ali freestyle soundset weekend

there's more than one way to tell a lie homie

you can fabricate events that never happened

or just leave out important parts of the story

there's a much better chance no one'll catch it

these are lies of omission

a lot of your missions are vanilla rendition of some real shit you witnessed

tracks you record are only half the story

you're stacking points for the path you forged

you stood watching unknown cats explore this indie rap before they turn the cameras on

then branded your flag and branded it yours as if as though there wasn't a map before

but you've been listening that's for sure

a lot of and similarities they can't ignore

when the interviewer ask for your influences that inform that craft of yours

the actual mold for the mask you wore now you gotta act like you are not a fan no more

you're an imitator at your core

the monkey on your favorite rappers back it matches yours

i wonder when you stand on your big ass stage all of your teenage fans applaud

if somewhere in the back of your brain you're asking yourself just who are they clapping for?

probably felt like little man at the court

and big cats won't pass you the basketball

now you grab the door and get a chance to score and put up stats galore and figure damn i'm all

you're somebody we should be happy for

what's a monkey to a beetle after all?

i try not to be mad of course

but certain things i just can't endorse
