Train of thought burn through the atmosphere to infinity
Analyze the bar we set like r u kidding me
Its funny how artists talk so hot bout industry
Yet sell they souls into it all too willingly
All too familiar with risks, spliff got my hands finicky
I stay minding my business lotta yall should mimic me
Gotta be reminded to sit and breathe, its odd
Niggas barely honor the living being
We throw each other in boxes to feel redeemed
Stop and watch the conflict but donβt intervene
This life like a game a chess w missing pieces
I aint into taking shots as much as bob and weaving
Operating like I got kids to feed
On god literally a different breed u probably sleeping
Aint got much to hide so why you peaking
Bet cash on the crash while im peaking
Pass on the pretty things its all conditioned
To those that ever slighted me Alls forgiven
Woulda swore the lord walking w him
Lay a nigga out like the law if there aint no talking to him
Karma speaks the loudest when its silent
Put a Mirror to ya psyche the spirits get violent
The flesh an addiction that hardly expires
Or at least so it seems, my beliefs been spiraling
Im one with the elements kinda like hydrogen
Told my brother this shit light work imma keep shining
they try to redline us but we see the silver lining
Pass on opportunities to give those behind who behind me
But donβt get it twisted the playing field an island
Tryna align my assignments w gods timing
Donβt really fuck w these cats they not lions
Stand in the face of truth without lying
Only a handful of times see my niggas outside
Donβt catch it the first time just refine it
Funny how when you peak people come out of hiding
Throw a put on myself soon as the reign decline

A considered scientific reconstruction of the hardcore NY rap album. You feel the cold chill that feels like NY but it's really the kind of cynicism this heinous world leaves the considerate ones. danielolneyfme

"i did not write this for you, so how can you critique" is a weak shield for any artist's fragile ego. i'm sure maassai & those involved in this work didn't lose it over Pitchfork-so-white's critique: (https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/maassai-with-the-shifts/)

...it's a work of art. The way he goes across genres to express the black experience...I LOVED Ensley but I'm glad that he went totally left. James Smith
