The Matrix Abstract (Ft. Ivan B)

[Intro: Abstract]
When you've been doing this
As long as Ivan and I have
You see a lot of eras
You see a lot of people come and go
But we've remained (Ok, Jules)
And a lot of people wonder why
We didn't care when no one was listening
We didn't care when the world was listening
We do this 'cause we know it's what we're meant to do
Preach!

[Pre-Chorus: Abstract]
They want me down in the depths
They love me most when I'm stressed
Don't want mе stackin' no checks
They love to hеar I'm depressed
Guess that a smile's a flex
Fuck it, I'm good as it gets
You can take that to the next
Sorry that I never rest
It's been a hit after hit after hit
Like, how could you not be impressed?

[Chorus: Abstract]
I don't live in the machine
I pay the price for the dream
They wanna know what I'm stackin'
But I got a habit of takin' my losses like Neo so I can be free
Oh, you think you got a hit? Think that you're bigger than this?
Give it a decade on that kinda runway
I'm positive most couldn't maintain the chokehold I have on this shit
