Paladin - Tunde Olaniran

You hold two cuts of wood

A word misunderstood

That halo is a hood

The devil doing good

You’re stuck running in place

I can’t live that way

Listen to this

Paladin speak plain

Hate, but it ain’t gonna daunt

Just watch me do what I want

Smoke on floor

White hot door

Bust through

Like what I need a savior, for?

Dial that phone throat spittin' and hissin'

I’m a snake charmer

I play the pungi you listen

Bruh

Try to lick and I’ll catch the whip

You get shredded like Paul Reed Smith

Or a strat, then I

Just watch, stones, rocks

Make breaks in your see-through crib

Wear a smile but it’s twisted you lookin' at me

I get DMs lashing out I keep passing

Now what you asking, huh?

You’ll never please em

Policing, they so demanding

Turn around and you stab me

You geekin' to call my granny

I push away from the table

Nothing served was made for this

Palate I’m so able

To keep it movin' get a better fit

Don’t like the lines?

Write another script

Script this pharmacist

A role to fit your holiness

You hit the church

But the worse the curse

And the hurt that you wished reverse

In a heartbeat

Sussed out

I’m not allowed

So you pay for panopticon

That could watch me

No flock but we’ll lead yours

Footprints on new shores

You can lose but you ain’t gotta be sore

You ain’t gotta key for these doors

A cut a cotton tells so much

And the dead cells in my brush

Man I never knew you had it so rough

Instead of liberation you’re stuck

No forks in the road you’re on

Tip toe around no vox

We’ve progressed, you’ve withdrawn

You glare from a tight pine box

Rigidity’s what you dictate

But a stiff board is what breaks

This borders disorder

Might need the DSM 8

His hands fold and they watch

His hair falls and they watch

He dance hard and they not

He live life so they stop

You don’t really want in this ring, tho

You ain’t on my level of lingo

New ways like you ain’t never seen

Not even looking at the same thing, tho

I’m palladium, you stay stone

Outdated like payphone

I be here you stay gone

Read receipts I stay on

You don’t really want in this ring, tho

You ain’t on my level of lingo

New ways like you ain’t never seen

Not even looking at the same thing, tho

I’m palladium, you stay stone

Outdated like payphone

I be here you stay gone

Read receipts I stay on
