Oneida Lyrics

Feeling like I 'Pied the Piper'

Walk around your block and turn a stone into a polished cypher

Always gonna stay in my lane its just been getting wider

Never knock cause all my doors are open I just step inside them

Rummage through the details of my life I've got some underwriters

When I come around they're treading lightly like a bald tire

Come to life in everything you read like I'm highlighted

I revolve round everything you see like I'm eyeliner

Deep inhale this musics what I breathe in like a wildfire

Drum it, hum it, write it, rap it, sing it, you can choose your fighter

Remember when them boys would hit the lights and duck off on Oneida

Ask me what the hell I'm doing lately spending time writing

Turn a tangled situation wavy like I'm Flynn Rider

I'm refining

Don't envy the size of the box you decide to stay inside of

Pull that feeling straight up out of your heart

Hand you the pliers

Trying to send a message that'll still resonate when I'm in my 90's

Takes a lot of patience I'm just stacking my days

Trying to pocket your inspiration gets you swallowed in waves

Still I've got mind floating off in a daze

Thinking of rhymes

I've never heard of any closet rapper staying silent til' I pop on centerfold page

Counting down the metronome on Monday night, you're watching the game

I'm in Saint Tropez with Louis talking over beignets

The bread is rising so is the tide, thank god I came out unscathed

And you ain't never put a 'season in' don't call me "old bae"

Maybe it's for the better just to clear my head and lobotomize situations instead of blow my top like it's a toupee

Got to know that putting yourself first shit's never up for debate

And something shifted in me lately

Finally don't care about what they're saying

Never again, everything that you need can all be found within

Two years I go I'd keep it all in the drafts

My biggest fear's not seeing how far I can take it before I run out of gas

Feeling like I 'Pied the Piper'

Walk around your block and turn a stone into a polished cypher

Always gonna stay in my lane its just been getting wider

Never knock cause all my doors are open I just step inside them

Rummage through the details of my life I've got some underwriters

When I come around they treading lightly like a bald tire

Couldn't steal my sound if you were aiming "Swiper stop your swiping"

Never made a single to be famous, that is not enticing

Not sure when a label comes my way if I'm going to even sign it

Been a minute since I heard your name I had to hit reminder

Rather get a mention from my friends I know you're not a lifer

Some reason this year the 'stakes' are different like a local diner

Took a minute to get in position now I got the Midas

Finally flexible with how I spend my money and my time

I found my inner peace was always near me when I lit my fire

Make sure love is outweighing your fears and fueling your desire

Probably die before you ever hear me I'm from Carolina
