The Detour Songtext
von Ekoh

Yo
See every once in a while you gotta switch it up
Do a little somethin′ 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 writin' my life but everytime 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 shittin′ on these MCs everyday
They're stoppin′ your record halfway through
And my shit is still getting replayed
And yeah I've been listenin′
And gettin' real sick when everything sounds the same
I rip some beats that knock your brain around
They talkin' 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 writin′ 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
Flippin′ delivery
Everyone trynna to stop and to limit me
Catchin' a buzz and I had an epiphany
Fuck everybody that′s up in the industry
I just be goin' off into infinity
Yeah I′m above and beyond
And the only white dude doper than me
His hair was blonde (damn fuckin' right)
Y'all still starin′ huh
Yeah I don′t blame it's natural
They all said fuck an emo rapper
I said fuck you back so
I′ll just keep talkin' ′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 gangster 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 is kind of absurd
They′re turnin' me into a villain
But I got no ceilin′
When you think that you got me cornered, nah
I'll take the story flip the fuckin′ 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 store play-doh, I'm tornadoes with more hot shit
And they be talkin' but you′re all silent so insecure
Thinkin′ you're dope but you were graded on a wicked curve
There ain′t nobody else poppin' with credit that′s deserved
I had to stop along the way to school y'all, The Detour
Yeah
So you can hate, that′s what a hater do
No wonder why my Spotify still got way more plays than you
