| Introducin' the one that’s so raw they can’t match it
|
| The stash under the mattress
|
| The secret, the destroyer of ratchet
|
| The one they tuck away and try to hide
|
| The one spittin' that fy’e
|
| The one with that presence you can’t deny
|
| Undeniable collaboration, queen
|
| Suitable to run entire nations
|
| But y’all keep havin' the same old conversations
|
| Like, «We're real emcees, huh?»
|
| Akua, DY, stop playin'
|
| Now who are you sayin' is ill, ain’t real?
|
| Pushin' babies to kill, anythin' for a deal
|
| These record execs do anythin' for a feel
|
| That’s why we seen so many perpetrators, no skills
|
| Not here, always shut it down where we be at
|
| The recap? |
| Hip hop was headin' wherever we at

|
| 'Round (All right, queen)
|
| A diamond outta the roughest part of the hemisphere
|
| Fashioned from the flash of a light in the darkest of
|
| I’m from where the peaceful departin' the 'pocalypse live
|
| And you wonder where I get all that grime, I guess I
|
| break ever under your pressure
|
| Rooted in your conscience with every breath that I measure
|
| Every verse stickin' fresher, every bar like a barb
|
| Leave your precious arteries severed
|
| Sorry they never told you, but I bleed sixteens
|
| I believe this thing will be the sleep of queens
|
| Eager to hurt your feelings, 'cause I’m a bully with verve
|
| Encourage best of your efforts so I can murder your words
|
| Your perjury’s in contempt of this institution of music
|
| Using you as my muse to improve this beautiful movement
|
| Spit from my soul so the whole planet can feel it
|
| It’s Roc, DY, and Naru, the goddess squad in the building, rrah
|
| Give us that (Sa-Roc)

|
| True hip hop sound
|
| Please, bring that boom bap back

| 'Round
|
| Uh, it’s the fly height, seven inch, feet: five
|
| Short enough to be taller than your whole enterprise
|
| You think I’m fallin' off, you must be lost, hella high
|
| Vandross «Superstar», naked eye
|
| Look, who wanna meet the black Madonna, borderline
|
| Whenever, wherever, Maxwell on the 45
|
| This melanated rhyme Baryshnikov, center
|
| Write with prepositions, I’m positioned front and behind
|
| The scene Jack Kerouac, rap centerpiece
|
| Tragic simile like the blast that killed Kennedy
|
| Flinch and miss the real eyes watchin' God now
|
| Peep a young Zora Neale down, uh, Jesus take the wheel
|
| Now that black noise, Tricia, Rolls Royce flow
|
| Raw like I’m gold-frontin' rolls call me ol' young’un
|

|
| And tell the world it was a woman
|
