RIP Young (Slowed & Reverbed) - Isaiah Rashad - The House Is Burning

The House is Burning

LYRICS

yeah
shell 
look, yeah turn me up
i was never wordy for real
the first nigga heard me spit a verse was imaginary
cursed with hurting myself (yeah, yeah)
reverting to a circle that’s as tight as a virgin but damn
now i’m perverted, i’m learning to touch personnels 
now i need a check on me, like they concerned for my well-being (well)
i’m no longer shell-seeking (shell)
i walked through a hell, where niggas can’t tell demons
apart from elem teachers, coaches, bitches and, crazily, pale deacons
fuck law of average, i’m him
Cortez, i ain’t making amends
you can tell that i’m aiming for heads
you gotta deal with me like shaking my hand (ah, shit)
no wonder my major’s business
i paint descriptions that i pictured vividly
my friends saying “what the fuck has got into me”
fucks, i got rid of these
2004, the last time i been asleep
yeah
out of Milwaukee, but i promise, i got Dahmer’s spirit
still leave a nigga part-less with it, heart diminished
Western Conference how that sparks division
Parked on your block
blame these women for my heart conditions
“hard is shit” but these lyrics kinda like if you saw this sentence backwards (three)
most of my guys couldn’t read or math-solve (two)
they’d rather trap a pack at a gas stop (one)
then skirt a (coupe), like it’s NASCAR
“hop in a booth” 
nigga that’s breakfast to me (facts)
if y’all testing yourself in acceptance i bet you’ll be here
next semester at least (facts)
my morale never lessen ‘less i don’t give lessons but i never let myself lead
my people down bad roads, we on roads to riches
we ain’t wrecking, that’s weak
swerving Iles with a leg out the Jeep
working now, and i worked then
but i always found myself pressuring me
a verse a day, 9ine kept me at peace
how y’all stay on Snapchat so damn much and still 
lose in definite streaks? my zen protected in beats and digits 
they tell me the sky’s my limit (yeah)
that’s exactly where i am headed
why the fuck would i rap battle? niggas too plain
like 9/11
you fighting fire, that ain’t wise, it’s deadly 
picking apart my picks of the art that’s heavy on inspiration to create shit
same ways that the greats chose to take it
now that dog in me crawling with rabies
life was ruff, crack stuffed in a Mason with (real)
Henny spilt, cracked glass where the table sit (real)
overcame, cracking back like i slave and shit (real)
3/5’s, but that fraction, i made it mixed
for the faction i can’t lapse, so i’m pacing it
patiently penning pages til payments hit
“you got the sound” that sounded like crazy talk
now i gotta show ‘em that language is facts
