The Scrimmage

City culture like extra duck sauce, scramble under the trunk floor

Hammer tucked in the front door, cameras rolling but unsure

Antidote that they come for, do the same to who throw it

So you can break from your home but you can't un-see what you done saw

I seen it for all that it's gonn' be, so none of it's ever beyond me

Shit is as true as a heart beat, you worry if it's ever off key

Everyone round us was on beat, no matter whatever the song be

Their trumpet was always in arms reach, it hangs on the side like car keys

Followed wherever the horn lead, serenade and let the song breathe

Heard it all like it was on me, but Kind Of Blue was my horn piece

Wanted to make it a talk piece, figured that's how it should all read

As heinous as all of this all be, home is where nothing can harm me

As heinous as all of this all be, home is where nothing can harm me

And making it home is what draws me, explains why everyone wants piece

Couldn't price what the cost be, highest bidder on your mark please

Remember that everything is up for sale, like what else you thought B?

See I been looking for the difference

Between love and forgiveness

Between hate and indifference

Between the game and the scrimmage

Minding your limits, soul and infinite

From beginnings living and winning

Between God and this sinning

That we've been given

Watch how we get it in the scrimmage, yea

Watch how we get it in the scrimmage, yea

Watch how we get it

Son I been looking for the difference between holding and giving and loading and clipping

Open ended, hope and ambition and holding your pivot

Known intentions, notice your dripping like dope in syringes

Or the distance, scoping the exit as close as the entrance

And my interest, is tantamount to no one else who standing round

Graffiti on the end of the deeds to where we was camping out

Word to who we grew up with hoola hooping the phantom round

And all the chicks that pay their tuitions off Only Fan accounts

Same corner made hundred-thousanders outta hand me downs

Turned into the upper east side soon as the lease died

Comfy, thinking the street died, Papi and them is still street tied

He's ringing up your PBR with a package on rewind

Packages turn to G5's pulling up to the buildings

They told you they're tearing apart but they're still in front of your building

Across the street, and it all means is this is more than it seems

So treat it like we crossing paths in the store, and pardon me

See I been looking for the difference

Between love and forgiveness

Between hate and indifference

Between the game and the scrimmage

Minding your limits, soul and infinite

From beginnings living and winning

Between God and this sinning

That we've been given

Watch how we get it in the scrimmage, yea

Watch how we get it in the scrimmage, yea

Watch how we get it

Watch how we get it yeah, know how we with it yeah

And that's regardless of who is or isn't living here

Watch how we get it yeah, know how we with it yeah

And that's regardless of who is or isn't living here

Watch how we get it yeah, know how we with it yeah

And that's regardless of who is or isn't living here

Watch how we get it yeah, know how we with it yeah

And that's regardless of who is or isn't living here

Yeah
