"Creature of Habit" (2007)

“The best way to break a bad habit is to drop it.” - Leo Aikman

......

Eager to be free of this mess; I have to go settle down
Either conceded or depressed, I have no middle ground
So I won’t stick around; your simple styles too tedious
And you an idiot if your lips move while you reading this
Few IQ’s are genius; now y’all broke in pieces
Cuz like a weak goalie, you count on post in-creases
Stuck alone on weekends, happy you found threads
But I don’t plug my own shit, because rap is my outlet
Y’all addicts… high in houses; not allowed to move
Room to improve? I’m definite, like a sound proof booth
Few manage to take a look, but the glance of a hater could…
Canvass your neighborhood like an amateur painter would
Barricaded in usually, I’ll take statements congruently
Enter a gated community and interrogate with immunity
Stare at this face of youth and see… y’all aging vets
But if you OG’s, it just means you don’t pay your debts
Save your breath and alibis, acting all gangster’s tired
The last time you jacked a car was to change your tire
Y’all fake suppliers, pushin bags of lawns you snipped
With outstanding warrants you took as a compliment
Problem is, your definition of what drama means…
Is probably being caught at sea without Dramamine
Not to freak out an enemy, but if we ever come to blows (no homo)
I’ll make certain his-panic shows like its Telemundo
Letters I wrote, I found they too cunning for imbeciles
I just patented every vowel, now say something original
Stuntin’ for videos? “Individuals” could’ve earned more
But what do they rock in-da-vid? … Jewels; I’m floored :rolleyes:
Your crew is dirt poor; you don’t show for their wealth
You Lloyd in Dumb & Dumber, only chauffeur yourself
I go back and forth, should I pass the torch or light it?
Relaxed before I write, once I act, I’m tortured by it
Short of violence, simple minds can’t learn rap’s terms
Here’s the secret, make a witty line and work backwards
It’s absurd, and I admit… I’m amateur compared to you
But think it through kids; I am mature compared to you
If you inspired others views, you can spin it many ways
But don’t brag, its better silent cuz they think it anyway
Like the cold war deterrent; yet anagrams explain better
Rearrange the letters; you’ll get the world trade center
Mark my words; failing grades still got me passed you
Yeah, my writing is taut… but this is not a classroom
Had to murder ya squad, then you changed your handle
Now I get verbal onslaughts like angry gamblers
C’mon, gather-your-thoughts like female Neanderthals
Who contrary to popular opinion, were actually blond
Facts can seem odd; the Bible’s a testament to it
But if I’m not the best at this, I’m the top impressionist
Thus under the impression, there’s no locks to reopen
Cuz the chains of habit aren’t noticed…

Until too strong to be broken.
