about

The sheep typically live in fear of the wolves who run their lives, but are unaware of the fact that they outnumber the wolves. The only true digestible and conceptual song, the song questions institutions of power. The darkest production on the track, and the oldest beat. The Drake & Josh sample at the end eases the tension.

lyrics

Cut, that’s a wrap
The shit he spit ain’t hard to believe and that’s a fact
Just hoping karma coming to me, because the dreams
That he dropping over keys will be action packed
These dope lines that stem from my brain cells
Are so hot, they singe, like I gave hell
Just sit back, press play and watch your face melt, Big
Poppa Pump, I be flexin’ in this chain mail
Switching and quickening up the pace
While they digging and bidding on fake Bapes
Sipping on the moet, You tripping and so vexed
So wet, I be swimming , they sink in the Great Lakes
Peter Griffin, they living’s a mistake
The existence of Lincoln to this day
The reason I got the chance, and meaning that this man
Can, slam it like Blake when he speak on a mixtape
The type of track that be sealing his fate
Never know he hit an 8th, he concealing his state
The meaning is so vague, I’m beaming, they opaque
All talk, no base, like eating with no plate

But nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
Nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
I said nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
Nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves

Take me to your leader
Chug a liter, then I’m breaking through your speaker
Fly low, all I need is a Brainfeeder
To satisfy the hunger, I’m a real brain eater
Pick apart the mind, rip apart thoughts
Considering the time, discarding all the flaws
Oooh, what a rush, like Animal and Hawk
Bring a Legion of Doom, when the cannibal stalks
Nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
So we taking back our freedom, then we run from the bulls
Quaking at the heathens, but they paying him full
‘Cause they realize the deacon really play em for fools
That ain’t a dig
‘Cause what you hearing like a brick
Truth serum with the shits
A worm in your ear that’ll stick

But nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
Nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
I said nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
Nobody told the sheep they outnumber the wolves
