[Verse 1] 
I'm in the fast lane, traveling down a fast road (Shit)// 
I'm only one bar in and I made a Flash joke// 
But seriously I need to just slow it down- 
Cuz life is a Wonder Woman and she hit me with the lasso// 
So "Vibe" with me I'll keep it quick when I dash hopes// 
I tried to run but it's no out running the past though// 
They wanted blood so yeah I gave em what they asked for// 
Cuz I was on the edge and was at the end of my last rope// 
I'm lighting in a bottle, possibly the last bolt// 
It's funny how I'm saving everybody but can't cope// 
Can't pro-tect the very people that's my kinfolk// 
Been so, focused on this work I let my sins go// 
Unchecked guess this shit go deeper than my skin though// 
Guess it's intersections that was breezing out the window// 
And now it's in the open ain't no reasons to pretend for// 
But I don't even know where to begin though, but let's go// 

[Bridge] 
My homies asked me like "Why ain't you just defend yourself?// 
We seen what happened we was there when shit was going down// 
And anyway you could talk your way out of anything"// 
I told em that's the problem I just need to find a better route// 

[Verse 2] 
That's why I gave em the cross and I helped em nail me to it// 
I live for self harm honestly I was glad to do it// 
I even took the story doused it with a can of fluid- 
Helped em light the match and left everything that I had in ruins// 
And that ain't sacrificial fuck it's actually business// 
I owed it to her paid it back and I tripled the interest// 
A pound a flesh I found a reflection as God is my witness// 
No it wasn't justice but it’s part of my plan of forgiveness// 
It ain't my battle to win - in fact I hope I lose it// 
I'm here to battle cops that murder kids and throw excuses// 
Not here to try and explain away all my known abuses// 
Check my track record I left the proof in my older music// 
It’s three sides to every story that’s true and it isn’t// 
But that don’t mean it’s one truth and it's two of the fiction// 
it means the only truth that matters is who’s in position- 
socially to end up losing out to the rules of oppression // 
so gather round everybody cause school is in session// 
taking a fucking seat cuz I can see who could use a good lesson// 
It’s never been about illusions of proving perfection// 
but making up for indiscretions (Stay with me now)// 
I gave my fucking heart to my city// 
My blood sweat and tears and my art to my city// 
so I think it’s poetic that before I'm cast out- 
that the last thing I do is fall apart for my city, cuz look// 
I said i'm not a leader nor savior// 
and you don't get a fucking say in what I might do// 
So go ahead and criticize my behavior// 
the whole time you prob'ly recognizing that I'm like you// 

[Refrain x2] 
I said i'm not a leader nor savior// 
and you don't get a say in what I might do// 
So go and criticize my behavior// 
the whole time recognizing that I'm like you// 

[Outro x4] 
Now let that marinate like a fine wine// 
right before I speed back and reset the time line//
