lyrics

MEDALLIONS

It's been a challenge, but I'm still goin,
Rebel With A Cause, yes you know I'm still growin
That winter wind, it be bitter and it's still blowin
through the thick and thin, mothafucka I'm still flowin

I've been workin on my album
Poppin coffee like it was some Adderol or valium
Workin like a stallion, like a whole batallion
Fuck that rich mahogany, I'm earnin some medallions

Fuck your mild scallions, I'm on some white onion shit
Make your eyes water the way I be fuckin runnin shit
Thought makin a double album would be some funny shit
But it's the hardest shit I've ever done...funny twist

See in the beginning I thought my greatest passion was
slappin some rap up on this track, just watchin it happen
So naturally I felt attraction to the task of just blastin as many
Songs as possible onto the scene then relaxin

waitin for my shit to spread like a meme and then baskin
in the public reaction, I didn't know I was askin for a
process as taxin as approachin Hugh Jackman in Xmen and
challengin him to a match of just scratchin

REPEAT CHORUS

Two years later, feels like a lotta time
I'm still up on the grind, feel like I'm fallin behind
When it's all finished that'll be my time to shine
It'll be glorious, but maybe that's all in my mind

And I'm wonderin if it'll be worth it for all the dirt that I've
eaten and all the parts of myself that I haven't nurtured
The burden of tryin to work through sleepless depression, tryin to
Focus while life teaches me the deepest of lessons

All my demons are pressin upon the windows of my soul
And my weaknesses are keepin me from reachin all my goals
In the meantime my creative flow is out of control so even
Though I keep feelin like this album's on hold, I keep

Gettin ideas for the next project
So I can't wait to put this test shit to rest
And then get to the best I am yet to be blessed with
But mothafucka I'm a force to be messed with

When I set this mind to shit I wanna finish
I put down my pint o' Guinness and I handle my bi'nness
Cast my mind back to times when I had a tougher year
Shift it up a gear, look through my tears, cause I'm gonna fuck shit up in here

REPEAT CHORUS
