|
| I’m havin a conversation wit’cho imagination
|
| It was explainin how you was waitin, for somethin amazin
|
| Like when it come out you out the door racin to the store (*zoom*)
|
| It took a lot of perse-verance and patience
|
| We was preparin for our place among the ancients
|
| Yo basically yo' take on me ain’t makin me
|
| Or breakin me and yo I hate to see a fake MC
|
| I take out all my competition from like A to Z
|
| Cause I get fly more frequently than a travel agency
|
| That’s what I’m made to be, hip-hop through my artery
|
| An important part of me the soundtrack to my oddysey
|
| It got me, rockin retardedly
|
| Pardon me for speakin incorrect politically
|
| Anything less would be me speakin hypocritically, and I don’t do dat
|
| You lingerie MC’s I see through that
|
| I make a point about you and your crew, go «Tru dat»
|
| Who dat? |
| It’s the Reflection
|
| Remember the name, slid in the game before the «2000 Season» came
|
| Breakin the chain, usin the pain as our ammunition
|
| To blast Babylonian towers out of position
|
| It’s the Reflection and we poppin like your ears on a plane
|
| We make you disappear like tears in the rain
|
| The fears in your brain is clear when I appear on the terrain
|
| And bloody your nose
|
| I got more lines than cocaine that’s why you sniffin around
|
| We diggin for different sounds to keep it hittin
|
| Straight up the only way we gettin down with the sound is provacative
|
| It’s for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give
|
| It’s for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give

|
| We remain, hotter than the blue part of the flame
|
| I got a Glock in my brain
|
| That baffle weapons inspections like Saddam Hussein
|
| And rocks with the impact
|
| Gettin beat with socks filled with ten-packs of tokens
|
| Men’s backs get broken when I get open
|
| Words more than spoken
|
| Most of dem MC’s on the first thing smokin
|
| Leavin town at the same time causin traffic on the interstate
|
| We stay droppin classics cause the key word is innovate
|
| These cats is so plastic that we call 'em laminated
|
| Tried to duplicate the style quickly got frustrated
|
| More desperate than dudes who search people’s ashtrays for clips
|
| I burn MC’s like Coca-Cola through the paint on your whip
|
| Shit! |
| My rhymes is like a magnifyin glass
|
| When I shine my light through it, I burn up everything in my path
|
| Last Dragon like Lee-roy (sho' nuff) rock for the b-boy
|
| My rhymes are so sharp you catch cuts that key-loid (?)
|
| Destroyed the decoy, most of y’all d-boy, my culture
|
| It’s not that I hate, y’all just p-noid cause y’all fake
|
| Embarassed and ashamed and don’t know where to put the blame
|
| And never hesitate to call out my name!
|
| I ain’t effected by the negative
|
| It’s the Reflection and we dealin with the positive
|
| It’s for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give
|
| It’s the Reflection kid
|
| Never gotta look between the lines to get the messages
