arch one - virtuoso lyrics

verse 1:

believe me when i say i really been coming to damage em
wreaking havoc, lyrical pathogen
been sleeping, napping on me, but i ain’t your f-cking mattress
the fact of the matter is that i’m gunnin’ for the crown
half of you rappers are acting like all of a sudden you’re renowned
you ain’t nothing but a sham and i’m a king i hold it down
if it were sink or swim then i guarantee that you would drown
i been literally spitting lyrics you cannot pr-nounce
i guess it begs the question who f-cking with me now?

i could riddle you this and i could riddle you that
but i’m articulate kid so i’m spitting these facts
in the middle of a city that is riddled with crack
peripheral vision is littered with half way homes
that are juxtaposed by champagne foam

when you’re just controlled and you can’t say no
who the f-ck said rags to riches?
not in my city, more like lags and snitches
everybody asking who’s bag’s the biggest

but f-ck that, i don’t trust that
i done been there and done that
had enough slack cut and hung that b-tch
like a medal of honour around my neck
won’t settle for nada because i strive for the best
cold mental but i got a lot of pride in my head
i’m on my own level, i’m a goal setter, i’m a go getter, no letup til i can acquire me a benz

chorus:

i was a mouse in the trap caught chasing the cheddar
had the pounds in the back, blank face under pressure
don’t doubt none of that, act safe but you never
had an ounce of respect you’re a snake, i’m a shepherd

cause i lead these people, i see you’re see through
i lead these people, i see you’re see through

verse 2:

i was more than post mortem, ya boi was empty in the head
like an extra on the set of the night of the living dead
now i’m well read, articulate, intellectually eminent
the best yet, write sl!cker than calligraphy pens ever could

my mind was vanishing from the benzodiazepines
it’s hard to fathom the impact that had upon
my mental capacity, railing packs of the valium
abandoned lorazepam to get my hands on some happiness

and if i could stop the woodstocks
i possibly would start to have a good shot
understood i could put my right foot down and opt
to get this sh-t on lock, rather than a subsistence confined to a box

while all of y’all are just dribblin’, me i’m hoicking and spitting it
written in the sickest rhetoric you ever witnessed
the definition of committed and different
i could belittle your hit single with a singular syllable

every other rapper on the planet pales in comparison
i’m second to none, unparalleled, aim above average
perplexing as f-ck, i used my failure as leverage
they’re peasants they’re scrubs, this rap game is embarr-ssing

my verbal etiquette’s way better than yours is
sounds like you’ve got a speech impediment when you’re talking
compare me to lightning when i deliver my words and
plentiful methods of rhyming, swear i’m the best of all time and they be like

jesus chist you got a decent sized
ego, i can hardly believe my eyes
how can you sleep at night?
with my piece of the pie
left the scene of the crime
tryna achieve my peace of mind

and it’s like we suffice to be prescribed and blindly we comply
to evil minds, if only we could try to seek advice
society just might be reorganised
this world could be so harmonised

now my stars aligned
found that serenity i thought i’d find
is living with a carnal mind your desire?
i thought i’d try to resort to crime but
i’m more refined, and theres more to life than just snorting lines
until your morals die

chorus:

i was a mouse in the trap caught chasing the cheddar
had tuenpounds in the back, blank face under pressure
don’t doubt none of that, act safe but you never
had an ounce of respect, you’re a snake i’m a shepherd

cause i lead these people, i see you’re see through
i lead these people, i see you’re see through

verse 3:

from the green to the lines, md to the white
to a fiend for the pipe, pipe dreams out of sight
i can see it in their eyes, chimera disguised
by mirrors and lights, my fear is alike

and believe me, i thought i could completely hide
these desires to seek the high, the need to be anaesthetised
to bequeath my mind some peace and quiet just so i could sleep at night

although my habits died, i cannot find that balance i
imagined i would have acquired
i’m still patronised, and i can’t abide by
these m-ssive lies that are and planted and fashioned and televised
leaving arrogant brats with the jealous eyes
half of this abhorrent trash don’t matter why?
cause famished africans in gr-ss huts are cast aside

and this has derived
from the mind of man magnified times ten by hate
we’re -ssigned commands just to blindly live an average life as slaves
lost in a world where social status is solely defined by wage
on an earth where all inhabitants are cl-ssified by race
