More vengeance, ever rev the engines

Music got a message, I ain't stressin' the attendants

Takin' breaks between an album, leave 'em tested (One-two)

At the best I leave the least impressions

At my best, I leave the fewest traces

Complete discretion

I'm back to move the needle like increased compression

I'm back to shift the gear like tightened pressure

Beats' colder than the freezer section

The hardest rappers out there need affection

The toughest rappers out there need some love

Hardest lesson that I learnt about is second-guessin'

The hardest lesson I've learned is overthinking

I play cards as a profession

I deal cards as my profession

Hard to pin me down, got calls from all direction (What up?)

Hard to pin me down, I get calls from every direction (What up?)

Any rap they throwin' at my armor is deflected

Any rap they throw against my shield is turned away

Karma is a bitch, I'm calmed and I'll collect it (I'll look it up)

I harness any current, that's electric

Currently the surgeon price is chargin' extras (Wow-wow-wow)

I don't know what's dope, I just know what isn't

I keep the loops flippin' with the code encrypted

Below the heavens, but I know my vision

People dead, were they alive?

I've been on for livin' (Uh)

L.A. to Medellín

Uh, Alcolirykoz

Los de Aranjuez con Evidence

The ones from Aranjuez with Evidence

Loops, todo es un ciclo

Loops, everything is a cycle

No importa cuál sea el final

It doesn't matter what the end is

Todo volverá al principio

Everything will return to the beginning
