It Ain't Hard to Tell |
Ash ketcham |
Pokemon emcee |
Empty clips on Babylon |
I’m armed, you swarmed, been warned |
How hot it could get when I let off two at a time |
My rhyme’s designed to uplift not tear down |
Wear down you clowns with gift |
Gifted not lifted |
Random or specific |
Atlantic to Pacific |
I get in gear then shift it |
You know the game — multi-task, pivot |
Gotta have more than one edge |
You know the ledge, gotta live it every minute |
Second, hour, to the third power don’t miss a drop |
I do many things but it always comes back to Hip Hop |
Stage show virtuoso most folks won’t know what hit ‘em |
Now I think about it, Eric B and Rakim woulda said it was the rhythm |
I miss them |
Theses youngins out here missed them |
Wouldn’t know ‘em if they slapped ‘em in the face |
Then claim to be rappers what a fucking disgrace |
OK enough of that |
Don’t let me soapbox |
I could rap all day about the fuckery |
But I’d rather just be and get mines in spite of |
That’s enough for me |
The long years of toil 'bout to pop like a boil |
And pay off in a major way -- |
When O. Retnu and Asheru threw on the capes, who saved the day? |
Maaaan I do this shit for real |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell |
A Homeowner, stack chips/ pay bills like you nigga |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell |
I been raised in the ways since back in the days |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell |
Unfazed by the glaze of the media haze |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell |
Got The ELs behind me, DC to co-sign me |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell |
I got gifts in abundance I use to stunt with |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell |
Made by the Most High I’m unbreakable |
My faith in myself is unshakeable |
No comparing me to anybody else clearly |
Because the difference is unmistakable |
Guerilla Arts |
By any means necessary |
We carry the torch |
Then scorch the ground |
Blaze trails for miles |
Real life and sound |
Better ready your ammunition |
Beg forgiveness over permission |
Listen twice as much as you speak |
That’s how you play your position |
Advance one step at a time |
Learn to separate time |
Between the real and the fugazi |
Put your all in one |
Put none in the other |
Gotta avoid being too lazy |
At all costs be a boss |
Don’t follow you lead |
Don’t wait for a break |
You got everything you need |
First make up your mind |
Then make up the lines |
To write your own story |
As you proceed -- |
That’s rules to live by |
One to grow on |
For those who get their flow on |
And so on |
Dedicated to the artists in the field |
Whose pen is their sword |
And passion their shield |
Dedicated to the whole Diaspora |
DC Caribbean to Africa |
I ain’t talking Umfoofoo |
I’m talking Ubuntu |
Dogon, Ibo, and Zulu |
Dedicated to the yout' dem |
Who don’t see the forces |
Tryna uproot them |
They grow before their time |
Get plucked from the vine |
Their own brother or police shoot them |
Happens all the time |
Some say all is well |
Try so hard to win |
Seem to always fail |
But the meek shall inherit |
When it’s all for sale, huh-- |
It Ain’t Hard To Tell!!! |
