them late nights with that casked wine
and them fist fights, like left right
and i left, right, but im wrong
so i kept writin them songs
and i feel that, im livin off of them green bags
with my bags packed to the side, but i just cant decide if i'll be back
been down, been beaten, lost friends that accused me of stealin
then thought with a little bit of sense, so i left in the middle of the
night and im headin for the light, when i sign for my life, better know that i just dont need it
then i re-cap, when i feel that, voice in my head that don't scream back
....and i need that, when it screamed back like


it was the coming of age when i, realised i was slippin away
skippin the city, and livin in pity guessin a fate
do you reckon i wait? what im destined to change
i remember every second gettin tased in the face
get replaced when i make a mistake takin the reigns
when its rainin im aimin to place blame on the fakes
and i, stress less when im writin at best
when im takin a second, and i decypher the text
up in the night when i write fightin a voice in my head
find the message in lessons, i hid in broken cassettes
but it was second to none, and never second at best
but all the seconds im missin, gettin the shit off my chest
dont amount to any minutes, that im skippin ahead
and i just couldnt admit it, when i was livin depressed
and i was lookin to press wax, but couldnt commit it
so all of these lyrics i've written, were open letters i get it
im up and im off it, i put these rappers in coffins
they copy cattin, i leave em battered, with patterns across em
so fuck what you offer, im honored offended
that you even sayin my sayin my name in a sentence
i speak what i know, in pursuit of the throne
and im levels beyond all the kids in my zone
they under impressions and think i remember they're name when i blow uppp
but i struggled alone, succumbing to somethin i thought controlled
it swallowed me whole, im sittin here thinkin its all of my fault
and they callin my phone, while i sit in the dark
and im drinkin a bottle forgettin the past
and i strengthen my heart when im doin it hard
but i reckon id do it again in a heart beat..

chorus -
talakai be the set, i dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to threats
from the east to the west, i dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to
eightfold be the the best, we dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to threats
we comin for the heads, we dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to threats

all the shit that ive seen, i still feel the volts on my teeth when i sleep
fuck a legacy i reap what i sew, when im speakin what i mean, top 10 never mentionin me
i been around for a minute
got an eye for the fakes, no time for the gimmicks
been up to the sky, no sign of the limits
my third eyes blind, cause it died with a mic init
recognize ima beast, ima legacy of speech speak real, let em feast, on the enemies
i mean nearly any little friend i see, tryna get a glimpse of my shine and compare em to me
dont need to repeat what i said
4 in the morning im stuck in my head
fuck what they said, i dont even really wanna rap anymore
id give it all back, put a mic on the floor
it was better before i was fillin the flaws with pills and the powder im lockin my jaw
and i visit my outer, reroutin my core, im pretendin im out when they tryin to call
but the bigger the fall, i belittle the risk, i just give em all my middle finger and split


chorus -
talakai be the set, i dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to threats
from the east to the west, i dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to
eightfold be the the best, we dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to threats
im comin for the heads, i dont take kindly to threats, take kindly to threats
