Back to the Essence |
When I’m on the mic I stand tall with gall |
Style worth more than anything you goin find in mall |
The treasure of the mutiny is what keeps you all enthralled |
I lively up the people with the yes yes y’all |
Create wait watch and let the fake fall |
Employ my strategy like checkmate |
Call your bluff in that destruction of all previous discussion |
When I hit like a concussion your heart rate stall |
Recorders all stall you jaw’ll go slack |
I deliver makin quivers and shivers all down your back |
Like a river flow the beat |
Bounces in cadillacs bumpin that vicious blackalicious |
Kick drum that keeps punchin thru that speaker countinously meticoulously |
Etchin out the spaces in time |
For miles affecting rhymes that changing minds permanently |
Like mescaline giving your whole peception perspective a new design that |
Wreck that misconception now we seeing eye to eye yet? |
Can the mc speak? |
the suckas stay quiet |
The crowd can get rowdy like the party was a riot |
Try it and the ladies will whoride your ass up out the spotlite |
«you crazy dont you know that fool lateef’ll set it on you? |
He better than you"she telling you the truth due — |
I give you the proof due |
Step you end up getting cut up by the cornerstone’s edge |
Down back by the end I say dont get contrary |
Cause baby I’m very highly motivated |
I’m trying to do that play and ownership thing like Isiah did |
Hope your vision ain’t impaired |
But my prayers you can hear what I’m saying to you |
Now if you fakin it may sound strange to you |
Like some way under my breath maybe I’m playing you |
But I only do that murder rap shit for those whose the cap fit |
As for the rest I’m trying to you all back to the essence |
Back to the essence when we in the house feel the almighty presence |
Making mcs act humble like peasants |
Smoking the mic and leaving nothing but resin |
Making the spots pop like pots full of wesson |
Making it hot cooking your goose and your pheasant |
Taking your props leaving your ass butt naked |
Soul exposed no material protection |
Low and behold we going back to the essence |
I be that G-I to the F when I get def up on that mic |
I swing that lefty no discrepency and effortlessly |
And in the right frame of mind |
Electricity combined with mind soul and the way I flex the agility |
Focus ability makes some heads quite restless in this vicinty |
Trying to fill me out but they just jesters in my vicinty stuck in my art |
Trying to feather my energy I bless plenty of enemies |
Hittin me with expressions that would so would like to get rid of me |
In my quest to be the epitome it’ll be cold in helll |
'fore I feel stress from any of these illiterate |
Insecure about they little insignicant contributions |
Infinitely I’m mocking yes and don’t whenever the Gift put out a fly «e |
Yes I’m doing my thing and leaving a cloud of cess smoke |
Wherever I go whether i’m balling whether I’m flat dead broke |
I’m heeding my call and leaving a ball of rappers with heads roast |
And bringing that universal dopeness to the east and west coast |
And really no one the best though is god |
Allowing you to harness the energy within whoever feels the most |
At the moment takes it the farthest |
So thank him cause it’s through you that he manifest artistry |
Like a painting with an infinte beyond lifetime warranty |
And satan is a wack diseased that needs to be quarantined |
And caged in, I’m riding a boat of dopeness come on aboard with me |
And engage in a tale of musical invention, |
An mc lynchin convention GA lyrical fifth dimension miracles |
All up in your system |
