about

Original song: "I'm Beamin'" by Lupe Fiasco.

lyrics

Ever since I was a
little kid - a literate, plastic-climbing degenerate
that's secretly a gentleman in his prime and considerate,
but maybe just a little bit out his mind and competitive
but only to you niggas that’s asinine and repetitive,
I started out chuffing on 5.8,
until I told myself that one day, I’m gonna be great,
bought me a pair of new Shamans and some screw-lock gates,
and hit the training board with chalk and some Tupac tapes,

doing runs on the V1’s, moves on the V2’s,
squeeze on the V3’s, I bruise, and then I cruise
attention to body tension, intention on an ascent,
it’s tremendous, fast-forward to Moves, chilling with Dru,
macking will always happen, rapping about the packing
my rack up into my pack in the back of my Jeep and lapping
whipping up in your district - with Griffin, I’m getting biscuits,
niggas steady be dissing it, let them know I ain’t listening…
let’s get this out the way: I don’t like heights,
still lead, but my hardest send’s only V5 -
pretty weak, all things considered,
when it came to anything, I was runt of the litter, recipe needed bitters
girls all degraded me - said I got nothing to give her,
there was always someone richer, better, stronger or bigger,
I’m a natural giver, send myself down the river
before I let down my homies, let myself down in a fissure
while sipping liquor, delivered straight to the liver
I don’t need no chases, nothing else could replace this, feeling
like the most hated by the most basic,
cause I’m not slavish, man - y’all so racist,
let me have my chicken plate with soda that’s grape, my
bass jumping like I’m out here kicking with Steph Davis
and I put the volume up like I’m setting for the cup,
cause I’m rolling with my crew, and we do not give a fuck

I’ll show up to your battle with Gearing, Dru and Shadow,
me, Adam, Pliley, and both brothers Vidaurri,
play the game like Atari; if I mean, I’m sorry -
this my third week living off tuna and black coffee,
in a quilted jacket - looking like the video for “Thriller,”
bumping everything from Logic to The Killers (appropriates Logic’s line)
the Mack got me on Bryson Tiller, I’m chilling with
a girl in the mood - Glen Miller - good morning, Mac Miller…
all is good - yeah, all is well,
I got them seven digits, Tommy Caldwell,
found out that she’s engaged, then I said, “oh, well,”
all climber girls are taken, as far as I can tell,
but the game is for the taking, open to my advance,
and there ain’t no mistaking, who’s got the highest chance,
temperature’s very cold, rock is the driest - yes,
she wants that buried gold, I got the Midas hands,

prepare for my defense, yeah - I’ma testify,
to adventures and loose endings I’ma rectify,
people fall to their knees, fans starting to scream,
members calling the manager - parents call the police,
your bitching ain’t gonna cease, cause y’all niggas is weak!
Projecting shit for years that I sent in a couple weeks,
so make lines to see all the great times and feats,
and taste thine defeat as I tape, climb and repeat!

(Tape, climb, repeat…) (x8)
