Prompt / Lyrics
(spoken intro) Ain’t nothin change without real change homie already dead ya know Cadaver [Verse 1] you won’t know how to grow till you on ya own 2 feet, deep in ya flow and stayin outta the street not like ya rewound or turned and retreat you jus finding whats found, while I’m seated ready to eat Didn’t come this far, not to make it our time Cant numb at the bar, or ignore the signs, to part from rules an draw outside the lines stop feeding these pearls to the likes of swine leave em to catch up like their name is heinz [Pre-Hook] look at the moon tell me what it is you see come this june who you gonna turn out to be a man, a myth or is it something more will you quit fronting or walk through the door [Hook] already dead so I ain’t got no fear already bled for everything I hold dear cadaver walking but my vision clear I died to who I was to get here I died to who I was to get here [Verse 2] cause the door don’t wait and the clock don’t lie every excuse you make is another alibi been talking bout tomorrow since the last july either spread ya wings or watch the eagles fly got scars on ya hands from the seeds you sowed been carrying weight on a crooked road but the load gets light when you share the code with the ones who built, not the ones you owed ain’t chasing validation or a name in lights been navigating darkness just to earn my sight some people pray for blessings I was born to fight you sleep on what you could be every single night [Pre-Hook] look at the moon tell me what it is you see come this june who you gonna turn out to be a man, a myth or is it something more will you quit fronting or walk through the door [Hook] already dead so I ain’t got no fear already bled for everything I hold dear cadaver walking but my vision clear I died to who I was to get here I died to who I was to get here [Bridge] (slower, deliberate) the grave don’t care bout the life you planned the wave don’t stop for a steady hand so stand in it, breathe it, let it understand you ain’t just passing through — this is your land been baptized in failure, resurrected twice paid the cost of living, had to pay it twice everything they told you was a compromise open up ya chest and let the dead man rise [Hook] already dead so I ain’t got no fear already bled for everything I hold dear cadaver walking but my vision clear I died to who I was to get here I died to who I was to get here [Outro — spoken, fading] this ain’t about arriving… this about knowing you already left the version of you that was scared… that man’s gone Cadaver… already dead… so what you got to lose, homie walk through
