Patrick Wil - Mantis Lyrics

These days it's really feeling like I'm not working enough
Not enforcing effort feel like I don't deserve it enough
Like I ain't earn it not feeling earnest my psyche's a bluff
Patience is waning could see it break with a blow or a brush
Feels like cries of frustration falling on death ears
Feels like cries and frustration falling on deaths ear
They wonder why I stay to myself and I switch gears
They wonder why it's never a thing to admit fears
Feels like Satan is in the back puppeteering the strings
Where I'm from you gotta be asleep to be next to your dreams
G next to my name like I'm in game and I'm feeling fatigued
2k on me I'm showing signs that I need it increased
Can count on the hand of a Patrick Star who's rooting for me
And on a Hyperdactyly are the people that want me deceased
Know some cats with aim to intervene and mess up the routine
Might gift them a whistle and a jersey since they're refereeing
Gums inflamed from spitting all this raw feel like a kid that's teething
And they wonder why I'm very known for putting eat in Heathen
Hop on tracks to drop the heat then duck back into f*cking Eden
They tell me that I'm a fascinating creature
Soul is creasing like I'm bending toes in sneakers
Just the vessel really conscious and my soul is speaking
Born and Bred in SOVA since a young I've been Dream Keeping
Glanced in hindsight who would've thought that hollow shells are what the streets is breeding
Theo tap my line just to confirm I'm a shoeing to win
And it's vice verca cause we know he's the best at this shit
In other words he's Bronny and I'm wade when it comes to assists
G$K and Yomi Bosh and Charmers supporting the click
Chatting with novices just ain't in the fortune
Sadboyz in the building we like the four horseman
Hit a Nature Boy Woooo whenever I get rewarded
Figured Four figures little I need a bigger portion

Outside forces you gotta love em
And so it begins when it reach the public
I'm like Kawhi in the fourth really need the bucket counted
Diamond in the rough that's why the bigger pictures mounted
My mental and body clock saying it's perfect timing
Had to navigate the waters that is uncertainty felt like I was drowning
People saying that they want it for me wasn't at my crowning
Couldn't stand the fire of success but I'm about to douse em
Know some people with extended limbs like they were Dhalsim
Talking reckless can result in an E. Honda slapping
Growing up I gravitated to those living backwards
I had to face all my problems so I was numb to action
I got the satisfaction watching all my doubters dap me
But these days I'm only giving time and hands in ration
I'm on a road to expansion and it's mentally taxing
I got a homie who'll manifest my demons to graphics
My favorite rapper really born and bread in Norfolk
Those lightless nights with no water really feeling like torture
The fallen Angel of music coming to torch the earth up
And I'm not talking bout Lucifer I'm just putting work up
Furthest from my accomplishments
But Came so far from being judged and incompetent
And This for the one time of people that had acknowledged me
My best foots forward and I'm asserting my prominence

Lemony Snicket's I have had an abundance
More or less a couple of em would have me reluctant
My spirit trapped in a dungeon I really wanted justice
But I knew working even harder would grant me a one up
Never really had a problem when it came to funding
But people play with my money and wanna get buddy buddy
It's like they peeped my appearance and ruled out repercussions
I'm really known for sending kids to realms where shit is sunless
Gone take a group of Brave Rangers and Angles to get dugout
The type to show up to your OR and then pull the plug out
I had to thug out some instances I didn't get warned bout
I'm glad it happened I'm a better person when it's sundown
I'm physically endowed to handle shit with mental now
And cutting people out the root to why I'm sleeping sound
And being Nerdy is the reason why I'm seeing sounds
So this is where me and the LCD have common ground
The common sense I never lacked I was just optimistic
I lent a hand cause I too never had a pot to piss in
I'm on a mission and I'm so narrow sighted about it it really begs the feeling I have Jack Kirby vision
In anyway I'll get it for this I've been leaking crimson
I took it on the chin and they will still meet my demands
It isn't rocket science that I have a couple plans
Heathen Season coming I'm haunting the bridge like Bunny Man
