lyrics

M.E.: Fresh out a slave state of mind refined and unfrightened. I’m a beast over beats like vampires and lycans. Put “pause”(paws) on that braggadocio. This is showdown at High Noon. Consume the El’s the Sherrif at this rodeo. Mufasa of Pride Rock rockin’, huntin’ hienas. Hip Hop Hipsters with a flow as fluid as aquafina. Cause I’m ‘Oh, SO SERIOUS’. I just hope you listenin’. While we be play-in position like video game systems. My role is to free souls. But sometime in the 80’s, the powers that be been don’ put in the cheat code. I throw punches in bunches like Roy Jones. And clones tryna destroy home, Sherlock. With babies slain in the street, Nobody screams MURDA. You’re too collective use to rappers that you never heard of. Try to take out the conscious emcee so we scream “Word Up. And in the atmosphere that trapped us until El heard us. I got a divine swag to my step nowadays. As my stream of thought transforms into title waves. Each breath a clean step to the level next. Using cultivated intellect thru this man made Earth maze. Street sweet flow with angles of observation. Bullet time rhyme. Breaker 1-9 design. Galaxy is mine till the stars cease to align. You reach in your rhymes, I reach in my mind. Who draws quicker? Jean Michel glow always drew the bigger picture. My species appears to be a society of grifters. And I hope that my sobriety delivers. With a twist, I give you a gist, and uplift those goin’ thru tough shit.

Sense One: Mark cassettes up with caution. Stretch tapes like sick walkmans. You a dead man trying to call shots like Charles Darwin. The game’s morphing. Hard knock like Annie orphan.You should take what you could get like sellouts with no auctions.

W.J.T.G :It ain’t ‘94, nigga. We can’t go back. 4/4 boom bap flow. It’s the same old crap. 4-5 .9 milli walking the lamo trap. Cliché he say-she say. I been there, Black. Done that. I’m sick of this shit. I need something new. Cure of Hagakure, New wave of Sun Tzu. Paul Mooney, Dave Chappelle, George Carlin too. Coltrain, Thelonious Brain, Dizzie Davis, Blakey Roaches Smokin’, Dukes counting futuristic frames from Mahavishnu orchestras Cadillac Chess Games. T.K. mind frame is a Linux mainframe, Musical Rubix Cube-Oshe-Hood –Boys-Bomb-Squad-Spray. It seems like Today is a very Odd Ball Day. Niggas with loot for throwback shoes trying to ball play. Singing varsity blues. Roster cuts in the hallway. We coaching the new school with suicide drills all day. Yall keep failing the class ‘cause you ain’t learn the lesson. Thirty-year-old demo niggas is still rapping but you ain’t plan for the obsolescence. We got a suggestion. We got a suggestion.

G7: Materialize on the wall of the Buddha. Been so long since I’ve seen such degenerate devolution with my own eyes. Shocking ad hocking for boogie popping. The DJs play jibberish and they skip to it. Laws of entropy limitless. It’s dark and I wish I had a lightsaber so I could stab it in the chest of Mark Fulla Flavor. A perpetuator of broken records. A hum dum of drum collages. Call me the maharashi with a trance that slams monotony when I meditate. Bahamadia beautiful but her skill is a skeleton in the eyes of the future. From the perspective of a King from 2099 backtracking to 2009 but it looks like 1999. And to them I’m divine like Cortez to my Aztec neighbors. My helmet soaked in Starfleet lazers. Drizzy Drake and Ang see me as space invaders. And that’s fine. I’m cursed to be an innovator from the sins of the bloodline of my grandfather. Stab with sharpened clay ancient potters.
