I'm back. Never left.

lyrics

When they say
It’s trouble that you make
Try to trip you up
Assumptions and mistakes
When the old guard wants you out
And never a JV
Never Leave Quietly

When they say
You’re too high
Talking bout your prices
Like you ain't worth a dime
Surprises
Exactly where they’re supposed to be
Real ones have a broom to sweep
Never leave quietly

When they say
It’s trouble that you make
Try to trip you up
Assumptions and mistakes
When the old guard wants you out
And never a JV
Never Leave Quietly

Someone tipped off the indentured servants
They found out the slaves work for free
Massa’s mad that we talking
Fuckin with his pockets
If you watching someone else
You ain’t watching close enough to see
Ego and navel gaze
Got you stuck in Web2 ways
And massa’s who you tryna be
Fat chance tap dance
Cus no one in this room is listening to R&B
He wants us on his label
Branded to his name
Chained to a stable or a chair
“neigh”
Not too loud
He gave you hay yesterday
Work horse
On course
You could just be off chain
Gotta
Be a better way
Hide behind the flames
Standing on his parcel
Argue, sing his praise
The people who come to me
didn’t leave quietly
from whence they came
And shit
I never change.
