[LYRICS]

When I bet on myself I like the odds
It's not a gamble it's a smart investment in some stock
Safer than a triple combination locked box
8 snipers on the roof armed guards and guard dogs,
A sure thing if I've even seen,
The flow is kerosene to some evergreen
Forever fire you could hear it from the mezzanine
Black summer you gone feel the waves til the end of spring
A life could change in one rotation
Like a doctor bring a sense of urgency to the patience,
Execute with precision keep the world at attention
Hanging to every word I got em anxious,
Feel like a veteran and rookie simultaneously,
Forever growing but already who I aim to be,
I'm a thinker so you know I'm living dangerously
And know I gotta get from A to B to get from A to Z,
Master the steps master the mountain
I got a leg up on a lot but who's counting
I used to run rabid like I'm chasing a belt
Then looked around and realized I was racing myself, WHOA
On a road not paved through a thick forest
Strange terrain but I'm already built for it
The prototype untested but a flawless run
Calm in life or death situation like it's all for fun,
My reputation arrives well before me
And stays forever after,
No fairytale or lesson I'm just dope
And that's the moral of the story
Putting on a facade is all that I do poorly,
And I ain't workin on it, it's out of mind
I'm over zeroes like I'm undefined by design
Rhyme like not being a legend is a crime
You could either give it no mind or give it time
What I call a minimal effort you call a grind
What you call a coveted spot I call it mine,
Every loss I took from it what I needed
Bested on occasion but forever undefeated
Black Summer
