Breadline

They said that he's not the hero that the city needs
But the one it deserves
Who do you think you are?

Tek time
Watching your name on the headline
Comes when your head's right
They thought I ate just to get by
They couldn't stomach my next line
Wasn't all that 'til I said why
Saw from the right with my left eye
Against the grain is the necktie
I'm moving on up from the breadline
Tek time
Watching your name on the headline
Comes when your head's right
They thought I ate just to get by
They couldn't stomach my next line
Wasn't all that 'til I said why
Saw from the right with my left eye
Against the grain is the necktie
I'm moving on up from the breadline

Retconned
Was the dream you told but slept on
Ain't got the key to the code like Epson
There's defeat in your tone
It might leak through your phone
Even though you're alone as the next one
Breaking familiar holds to the question
Are you your pain or your blessing?
I'm willing to be and don't care who the foe is
A fork in the road on the M1
I know I'm feeding the ropes since back then
Now I reap what I sow, I'm tapped in
I only speak what I know like accents
Only time that I lack is in practice
I slide on the sheet like it's satin
Ain't in a band but I'm making a band
Every time I'm supplying, demanding
From this plane of the port after landing
Walking this path still prior to transit
Capture me now while the fire is candid
Could never keep me in line, I'm a tangent
I do not need to arrive when the man did
Some of these guys, they really were handpicked
I like to speak in the old like Sanskrit
Where I go is where my people know when I'm absent, yeah
