| For underground metaphors
|
| You can scrape an inch below the turf, for what it’s worth
|
| My style’s been developed in the core of the Earth
|
| The exhale’s volcanic, the inhale is seismic
|
| So brothers just panic when the Live one arrives with
|
| The natural ability to run through your crew
|
| From 2−1-4 to 2−1-3 to 2−1-2
|
| In other words, from Dallas, to L.A., to the place where J stay
|
| Everyday is mayday
|
| So you can talk your shit on how you’re wettin MC’s
|
| With mad blood stains but I’ll bet you can’t stand the rain
|
| I’m lookin' on your brain with disdain
|
| Go back and reflect on my endeavors black I can’t complain
|
| It’s like a raw deal, consistant with the way I make you feel
|
| The ends stay revealed but the means I conceal
|
| And those who try to steal get decapitated
|
| You wanna snatch my H2O type flow, but it evaporated
|
| I displays my credentials over instrumentals
|
| And my potential, increases at a rate that’s exponential
|
| It’s detremental fuckin' with my thesis
|
| The penetration’s exact, like amniocentesis
|
| I rip your shit to pieces after drainin out your fluid
|
| My vocab is fluent yours is evident of being truant
|
| I know you wanna make moves but son you best to take a second look
|
| Before my knight takes your rook
|
| Cause everybody rappin, and only few can flow
|
| So why the hell they tryin to deal with Live I don’t know
|
| I handle true MC’s on their block or at their show
|
| So if you come with bull kid, keep it on the low
|
| Cause yo, I got the hairsplittin, self-written unbitten style
|
| That leaves the competition running scared and shakin in their pants
|
| You best to set it off cause black it ain’t no second chance
|
| Once I’m open, all you doin is hopin that the Live one
|
| Will put the mic down, but son don’t try to snatch it after
|
| The laughter won’t cease from the comparison, how dare you son
|
| Step around the booth when I’m on
|
| The microphone magician says poof, you’re gone with the wind —
|
| (Background: «The Best Part, is brought to you by the letters: J, L, I, V,
|
| and E»)
|
| — There's no trace of your friends cause you don’t know where the
|
| Beginning ends or where the end begins
|
| But you see that’s the difference, you get sold, I get paid
|
| Black I told you, get played
|
| If you’re broke I’ll have to rain on your parade
|
| You belong in Special Ed if you think you got it made
|
| J-Live with the mic is like the chef with the blade
|
| Cause suckers get sliced and sauteed
|
| Yeah, you thought your shit was fly but the flight was delayed
|
| Because
|
| Cause yo, I take the grey matter of pretenders
|
| Through my mental blender, and then return to sender
|
| My pen don’t pretend to offend
|
| I intend to render MC’s, hangin loose like a fender bender
|
| I recommend regardless of your gender
|
| That you strike fuckin' with J-Live from your agenda
|
| And remember that whoever lends a helpin hand to defend ya
|
| Will get burned to a cinder
|
| As I end the, reign of wack MC’s with their suicidal tendencies
|
| Renderin me sick, with the thoughts of killin enemies
|
| But then I return to reality
|
| Metaphorically murderin MC’s when they battle me
|
| You can’t rattle me
|
| I’m not your average snake slitherin through the grass
|
| I surpass the serpent as I head to class
|
| You consider me crass as I wax that ass, style’s no joke
|
| But you best belive I gets the last laugh |
