lyrics

Bunch of ideas you just gotta produce
Running they mouths ain’t sayin nun truthful
Spend long while trying grinding only to find out the that that shit wasn’t useful

Me llama Kuzco
Emperor flow
I had to make the rules up
I broke out like a loophole
Hit both coasts
Scope the view from the roof

Takeoff stop to get a tune up
Do it again I’ve been studying the ruins
Said it couldn’t happen
Said it been too long

Endless equivalent repetition
Then the cycle has to break
Fibbin natural sequences aiming to convince of semblance of the godly living
Taking more than is given set a man on the path to sabotage his existence

who was wrong?

Job hunt draggin on
Rent still due this month
Had to get my hustle up

Few on the side connecting to pay the tribute
Running up the digits with my crew
Grinning like a bunch bucktooths
Maintain my vision on the swivel
Count accurate to the nickel

Shawty sweet in my tea like honey
I can’t do the stevia
Factual cannot play me like I’m fufu

I’m with water in the the stew
whip thicker than couscous
Wondering how he do that

I'm in the kitchen like a iron chef
Can’t play games with the people health
One true wealth

Ready yourself like you comin for the belt
Ain’t no birdland we got heavy weather
Talkin and movin round but ya weight feather
I’ll be you never

Get it thru ya head
You might start doin better

The game really just trial and error

For you spaz done tried to tell ya
Tried to prepare ya

The game really just trial and error
