Pasado

Whoa Cathcart Tobin on the beat Check! Something struck a nerve Sudden urge to rap a verse Summoner of massive verbs Such a nerd with crafting words, but afterwards I crashed a party, crushing herb to ash and burn Crushing it, won't crash and burn Saw a ten, I crushed on her, then crashed at hers Swear to god, I need to get out the city Here, people either living in a penthouse of pity Or living with their hands perpetually stretched out like gimme I stick my neck out for 'em while they stick their leg out to trip me There's really levels to it pal, I ain't never timid now Every punchline I think of, always get it written down 'Cause I got a reputation as the clever kid in town And if I don't live up to it, I won't ever live it down So I'm rhyming into Ableton I know life is pay to win Screw a major label, only label what I major in Look into my eyes and see an iris with a hazel tint Was broken last July, and really I ain't been too stable since Often times walk a line to monetize all my art Compromise for dollar signs, thought it might fall apart I don't get these lyrics off my chest, I get em off my heart Tobin with a side of Cathcart, call that a la carte Written a lot Kicking it in the garage Spent the whole summer in studios, I'm on some juvenile rapping it's risen my stock Adding a bit to the stockpile It's been a long while Know I'm a veteran, check out my archives Y'all got it on file Focused on betterment, how could I not smile When I'm jamming at this place on Pasado Is this IV or heaven? Man, tomato tomahto Even if I one day hit the lotto, I'll make it my motto To stay sharp like I'm playing staccato Tell 'em Tobin Man, it's torture carrying torches for a gorgeous girl you used to have Leaving the porch light on for her, while you poured your heart into a track Then learning she'd been forging every portrait that she drew, but fast Forward, and you're fortunate and forging on a newer path Still allocating time for collaborations Until accolades come in and build validation Still get butterflies with my girl In my heart I can feel palpitations, got a chill gal I'm dating I'm fulfilled, adoration's really crucial as hell Takes some self-evaluation just to truly excel Y'all get a lil salivation and you drool on yourself Y'all need some real salvation, that ain't cool for your health I know some pearly palace gates seem like a beautiful sell But whatever thrill shall await 'em y'all just fooling yourselves And if I'm elaborating, y'all make fools of yourselves I stay ill in the lab, berating you if you're full of yourself
