Shoots N Ladders (feat. JØE BELØW)

Remember when we was kids, playing streets and ladders and doing stupid shit Looked up in the sky, wrote a book on how to fly, before we knew it was a skit Made a action figure sad, because another one died, before we knew it was a quip Now they're yelling in our face, saying wake up, you need to make money when the race is in case Double tie your shoe with lace, don't trip, it makes it fall shorter New clip, let's make this one a taller. I'm on the border of the fence If I do some real shit with the words, we'd like a chance What if I speak, but it comes through past tense Either way, I'm here to stay. I work for Zay, night and day Help to push the pen down the page. Help hold back some of the rage I go work most of the days. In many ways, I'm an average gauge Pulled from a tree, making average waves. Kept in a cage, this year's my metamorphosis stage Caterpillars coming out the cocoon, creating words on the page Listening to music till it confines my age. I'm trying to meditate Stop hopping around like a toad, become a sage We done fell down the shoes back in the day. But it's okay Let's all climb up this ladder today. Yeah Oh shoot, only one verse left. I feel that's worse than death Even when with all the voices, I'm not a vet. But I still put the chips on my back I fell down the chute, took some shooters, yeah I'm climbing up the ladder, wanna see how far I get They said that we talk low When it was freestyle though, the head still moved with the flow I guess that means that it goes. That's how it goes Some of us see the glass is half full. Some of us see it is half empty or low Either way, we know perspective wrong The chutes metaphorically made the steps in the ladder go Also, you reap what you sow Just like karma, hot and cold. The force of your energy will always come back for more So enjoy the full game before you know Boredom is just a state of mind like a chow Like a chow? Yeah, like a chow Even Joe know, try to get up out the fall Cause boredom don't come, it's already there Just can't be scared Either way, we impaired Nah, it's three of us, so we're better than a pair
