Invocation |
| Envisioning the hereafter, listening to Steve Wonder |
| On a quest for love like the Proceed drummer |
| I strike like lightning and don’t need thunder |
| Inhale imagination and breathe wonder |
| That’s your lady, I used to run up in her and G weed from her |
| It’s a cold world and niggas need summer |
| At times my going forward seems like retreat |
| As I rewrite rhyme after rhyme and throw away beats |
| Growing into my britches, outgrowing the streets |
| There’s a thin line between war and peace, whores and jeeps |
| Ignore MCs like beeps, scribbling freedom on pages |
| My third eye is like pink eye, seen and contagious |
| Redeeming the ancients with ageless rhyme jargon |
| I feel Mexican, hip hop is my garden |
| Don’t give a fuck where you charting, certain shit I can’t honor |
| It ain’t that you selling, it’s your karma |
| Rappers I monitor like a chaperone, you large and haven’t grown |
| Poetically perform live-bys, another rapper gone |
| The stage becomes a catacomb, I rap like a mummy |
| Not for the money, I could have sampled Diana Ross a long time ago |
| My mind of flow is like motor key 20 |
| Youngblood said he had dimes, I prayed that he see twenty |
| Hollering at the brothers, either you gon' be a thug or a man |
| Flip drugs and get land |
| I can see my man was tired as he described how the bucks hit him |
| And said slugs was still stuck in him, when it rained, it fucked with him |
| This bucket interrupt wisdom and asked when my album was coming |
| I said it’s here, it’s here… |
