The Detour - Ekoh

Yo, see every once in a while you gotta switch it up

Do a little something different from the norm

We’ll be back on track soon, don’t worry

But for now

This is the detour

Yeah, this shit is simple when you think about it

I’m writing my life but every time I rap they seem astounded

So here I got a new album for you to fight for

I don’t think they understand that this the shit that I would die for

Better start the cipher 'cause I’m shitting on these emcees everyday

They stopping your record halfway through and my shit is still getting replayed

And yeah I’ve been listening and getting real sick of when everything sounds

the same

I rip some beats and knock your brain around

They talking Dr. Dre

Fame;

that shit is made up

When I came up on the scene they really hate us

Then I realized they afraid I’m gonna stay up writing all this shit

They off in the club so lit

They gone to impress some chicks

And I’m off on a mushroom trip

Like so sick

Flipping delivery

Everyone trying to stop and to limit me

Catching a buzz and I had an epiphany

Fuck everybody that’s up in the industry

I just keep going off into infinity

Yeah I’m above and beyond

And the only white dude doper than me his hair was blond (damn fucking right)

Y’all still staring, huh?

Yeah I don’t blame it’s natural

They all said fuck an emo rapper

I say fuck you back so

I’ll just keep talking 'bout my life and struggles with depression

You can talk about the block and how you garnished all your weapons

You ain’t pulled no trigger homie

And I ain’t no gangsta either

I’m just dope enough that I never had to lie to be here

Y’all don’t see clear I got this 20/20 vision

This comic nerd has gone absurd they turning me into a villain

But I got no ceiling

When you think you got me cornered nah

I take the story, flip the fucking script like M. Night Shyamalan

See I’m an atom bomb

With every song right when I drop it

It’s the equivalent of Wakanda when Thor stops in

A stormbreaker for born haters with sore pockets

You’re store playdoh I’m tornados with more hot shit

And they be talking but you’re all sounding so insecure

Thinking you’re dope but you were graded on a wicked curve

There ain’t nobody else popping what credit this deserve

I had to stop along the way to school y’all on the detour

Yeah, so you can hate that’s what a hater do

No wonder why my Spotify’s still got way more plays than you
