Nowadayz (feat Evidence, C-Rayz Walz, Pep Luv, & React) |
Yo, live from my laboratory. |
Lock my documents |
Collab with JS-1, cross the continent |
Confidence, blow your shit to no tomorrow, kid |
We cold-hearted, but instead of borrow, give |
I used to live a little different from the rest |
Like «Instead of guard your grill, better guard your chest» |
Knock out, see blues, greens, and red |
Internal bleeding in Sweden in hospital beds |
Understand the fact, understand the difference |
A lot of shit ain’t hot—you might fit the description |
Print this, back drop nucleus |
Turns on apex, blowers with Nitrous |
Dilated squad super-charged flows |
This year, fuck a jab—time to upper cut foes |
Pick your mic up like the weapon you chose |
And let off 'til all competition is froze |
Dilated |

Your pessimistic flows have no chance of stopping this |
Right before my Prime—I guess I’m in my Optimus |
The spiritual who conduct lyrical rituals are limited in numbers |
Among physical individuals who slumber |
Rehearsing nervous nurseries won’t raise your dead poem |
I rep the underground sound like Chud with headphones |
Spit in your face, make my statements clear |
My Chinese astrology leaves me stuck in the Basement Year |
Extract the fear, get the facts clear. |
I swear |
Y’all pussies ain’t been fresh since your last pap smear (Yeah) |
The Evidence is here to enhance your petty sight |
And JS (One!) still nice with his hands like Jerry Rice |
I don’t need to end the verse in punctuation. |
Just pump the bass in |
Watch my posse jump in and punch your face in |
I’m saying, «I'll become another memory to y’all |
A legend in the hood with my name on the walls because…» |

You know your nigga Pep get Love |
When I tunnel through the underground like Dig Dug, making black noise |
Mental food, crude black oil for you overemotional cats that lack poise |
Go through your b-boy convulsion as we keep coasting |
Super duper fly on a natural high, posting |
We 'bout to bring that real rap thrill back |
The zest and the zeal that you mass appeal cats can feel |
Threaten when we get energetic and set it |
And soothe you with this musical sedative |
I breathe life into the beat and let it live |
My raps are rhetoric when the shit get competitive |
For the love of my peeps and dope beats |
I’mma keep it copacetic for my folks in the streets |
As the all-eye-seeing earthquakes the ground |
JS be easy on the cut. |
No mistakes allowed |

I’m from the right side of the map, wrong side of the tracks |
B-side of the wax. |
East side and we back |
React. |
(Yo, who the hell is that?) |
In a minute and a half, you won’t be asking that |
I kick a classic rap to surpass the wack |
So feel the aftermath of the Jurassic scratch |
Ayyo, I have to laugh at the nonsense they talk |
They be running at the mouth but can they walk the walk? |
Yo, I live in New York and that’s the city that never sleeps |
It’s where dirty deeds get done dirt-cheap |
And I creep down deep below the surface |
Devising new ways to make the wack feel nervous |
My purpose on Earth is to write this |
And there’s two things you can do about it: nothing and like it |
You might get food if you come from out of town |
But we down, by Lord, worldwide, underground |

One time for your mind. |
Hit me! |
