| Call me the rapscallion
|
| A rogue rhyme sayer single-handed battalion
|
| Thoroughbred pedigree like black stallion
|
| The pale horse coudn’t come close to pose a challenge
|
| And rappers pale in comparision to my styling
|
| I’m dropping knowledge while they narrow minds popping violence
|
| I listen for truth, all I hear is a calm silence
|
| I’m looking for proof, all I see is my mom’s smiling
|
| Beaming proud cause I stopped buggin' and wilding
|
| Every man is an island —
|
| — I stand alone like the cheese
|
| Everyman is connected separated by six degrees
|
| Walk the path of enlightenment down the road on we ease
|
| By inches the gaps squeeze approching our destinies
|
| Breathe out in a cycle that we share with the trees
|
| And sway aimless like branch catch the rhythm of breeze
|
| Always going but never knowing where fate may lead
|
| Listen to my elders remember to take they head
|
| Even when you smile meanwhile somebody else bleeds
|
| And rose gardens get infected by weeds.
|
| Never admire desires over necessities
|
| I take time, to balance out all of my wants and needs
|
| Keeping time, I tap my left hand on my knee
|
| And with my right I write a style that’s free.
|
| Running away from yesterday
|
| Time is passing and I can not stay
|
| Bless the children is what I say
|
| I write the words and give them away
|
| I was borned educated, I escaled to a
|
| Style that’s elevated. |
| Above the average
|
| Suckas who never made it — still trying to show out
|
| But never paraded, it’s kind of faded
|
| The way they stay jaded — from really knowing what’s goin' on
|
| It’s like they stuck up upon the same song
|
| I aim strong, above my goals because I know
|
| That gravity is pulling me back down on the floor
|
| So I prepare my presentation just before I deliver
|
| Pull another verbal arrow up out of my quiver
|
| Yo, I’m a precious piece of the history
|
| People are still trying to figure out the mystery
|
| Ancient like the streets of Sicily
|
| I got the itch to be a high speed pitch fastball swing and a miss
|
| Blacker than the abyss, and good for ya like a fat bowl of grits
|
| I commandeer the mic and I spits
|
| Shooting verbal knowledge at little kids
|
| I use my voice box instead of boxing with fists
|
| But square up on a square when I’m pissed — So where’s the list
|
| The class is in session but weak niggas is dismissed
|
| Go on back to the lab and practice
|
| Counting my blessings on the lessons that I’ve been streesing
|
| Louging with essence guessing I’ve chosen the right profession
|
| Get up and motivate to the spot and I’m rolling late
|
| But anyway that’s how we play out in the golden state
|
| Big up my man he shakes my hand I pat him on the back
|
| The salutation met with traditional wise crack
|
| After the laughts we get to business for the afternoon
|
| Reach in my bag and grab the CD packed full of tunes
|
| Turn up the bass boost so we could feel the subs boom
|
| Walls shaking feel like the earthquaking in the room
|
| Make a selection choose the dopest of the dopest
|
| For the rhymes session beats got to keep lyrics in focus
|
| And vice versa, creating aural inertia
|
| Moving forces with a purpose like fluid sounds to immerse ya |
