Love to all the people who made this album possible, all the producers that made the beats, the people who featured on the tracks, and the people who sat with me in calls while I spiralled about it. Most of all shoutout to my 100x brothers and the threefive twinem beddyminaj.

LUCKI - Dotted Line [REMIX]

[Intro]
Judah Elliott on the beat
Remember...

[Chorus]
The blood-line busy, it's been ringing off the chain
I just want the truth back, bring me all the names
Took our sacred word, made it soft, watched it turn to shame
My people’s golden crowns really locked up in their frames
And that new world poison just shut down the whole game
We was on the slave ship, non-stop, that's why we feel the pain
You weren't speaking up, just on the timeline typing shade
I get to writing scrolls, the system got me feeling caged
The blood-line busy, it's been ringing off the chain
I just want the truth back, bring me all the names
Took our sacred word, made it soft, watched it turn to shame
My people’s golden crowns really locked up in their frames
And that new world poison just shut down the whole game
We was on the slave ship, non-stop, that's why we feel the pain
You weren't speaking up, just on the timeline typing shade
I get to writing scrolls, the system got me feeling caged

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm that one, drop a scroll and take you where we from (I’m gone)
And I eat right, only smoke the truth and keep my spirit strong
So I stick to chasing light, whatever's left, scrap or fight (Baow)
Get a clean break on this concrete with a dirty life (Bang)
Brothers know I ain't gotta front, the old songs bring the vibes
On five corners with five visions, consistent spirit drives (Legit)
I was on the block a lot, distributing thoughts a lot
Hid the sacred stories 'fore they came and tried to raid the spot
I don't even need the set, check the neck, where the chains hang?
Really had to bang-bang, draw the truth out and let the soul sang (Bang-bang)
Started with a whisper, now the verses keep me on task
Hands on, scrolls on the block, make you really run your own past (Backshots)
Blood-line ringing off, got it sounding like a spirit drum
Driver speeding off after the truth, I hear the sirens come (Ah, damn)
Bring me all the history, I need the facts and unlimited names
So I'm stuck on the search, in Babylon’s burning flames.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
We get the knowledge then we turn it into art
Before I dropped these verses, I was whipping pain in my heart
I bought new mics and I gave 'em all out to my part
Non-stop, I was grinding till I built a brand new start (Start)
I read four hundred years, then I said, "Fuck the clock"
Can't believe all my old heroes got put on the block
Call my Esther, if I ever need to turn the plot
Fuck the law, always trying to put my people in a box
They’re trying to leave me in the slum 'cause this truth, I been spilling (What?)
I got all these queens 'round me getting hella bread, they willing (Trust)
Haters hate me to my core 'cause I'm still out here building (Core)
And it's still free the mind 'cause my people wanna live, man (Bah, bah)
And the news don't like me cah the real story, I been in (Yeah)
I might speak it up again cah it's been a long minute (Hahaha)
In the booth getting busy, you can call me if you're finding truth
I'm the one that's writing it, that's why the system feel the proof.

[Chorus]

[Refrain]
'Cause that new world poison's 'bout to go right down the drain (Down the drain)
We will rise up from the water, you were born to feel the strain (Feel the strain)
So get up off the timeline, it's your spirit you must claim
Or you'll be another story when we write the final page (Final page)


[Chorus]

HARDEST (Prod. Tana)
