Second Single off of Kesper & LEX's forthcoming album, An Honorable Exchange 2, dropping April 21st.
lyrics
Verse 1 - LEX
Scrolling through the death on my timeline,
Word to Chuck D so much trouble on my mind,
Had to dead the news, ditch the primetime,
checked into the game, left my spirit on the sideline,
I find it quite demoralizing to feel burdened by the same things that they're normalizing
Talking fear, disease, control on a grand scale, looking toward the future and it seem like a damn fail,
Sanitize my palm touched a handrail,
2023 ring it in with the Champale,
I treat a verse like it's fan-mail,
cherish every word, bring the pain like a hangnail,
I'm just rambling at this point,
write to take my mind off the times and the disjoint,
New day new dollar call it bitcoin,
indoctrination en masse let the kids join
(Hook)
All in together now world turning cold like the change in the weather now,
For worse or better I'll give what I got to give and won't let 'em down,
All in together now times getting rough same damn lo sweater now,
For worse or better I'll, live how I wish to live and won't ever bow
Verse 2 - Kesper
Said we older, wiser, strength of a survivor
Went from who you down with, to the Moderna or the Pfizer,
I'm liver in a cipher and I'll never spit them out trash
And I'm not sorry miss Jackson I'ma always be an Outkast,
I'm just drawn different, I was spawned to misfit,
Went from kicking rocks to overflowing pots to piss in,
Tyson in these times, still we on a mission,
it's an Honorable Exchange, to us the beats hit different,
while rappers spit the figments, we stick to what matters,
verbal acrobatics for all you grimy bastards,
Life's a See Saw with plenty of detours,
Sally went from selling sea shells to selling pussy by the sea shore,
Everybody's got it rough so I feel like it's on me more,
I'm focused, can't dwell on before,
That's how we answer when the beat calls,
through the busy signals and the missed calls that's what LEX and I are here for
(Hook)
All in together now world turning cold like the change in the weather now,
For worse or better I'll give what I got to give and won't let 'em down,
All in together now times getting rough same damn lo sweater now,
For worse or better I'll, live how I wish to live and won't ever bow
