|
| Welcome to the trilogy
|
| I greet you all with confident humility
|
| Please allow me to present the soliloquey
|
| As an exhibition of my said ability
|
| I’m more than a man singing with rhymes
|
| I’m a purveyor of fine lines
|
| And a slayer of swine minds
|
| Check the annals of hip-hop
|
| For the illest shit ever dropped
|
| And you’re bound to find some of mine
|
| For those of ya’ll who don’t know
|
| To know me is to love me
|
| You might have heard from me
|
| Before you heard of me
|
| Those down from day one
|
| Are now showing their age
|
| Call me the oldest rookie
|
| The rap Satchel Paige
|
| I’m still fixin' the heat
|
| Exposing major heavy hitters with a swift kick and a miss
|
| Quick to put some gym music inside
|
| To protect my home plate
|
| Cause ain’t nobody fucking this c’mon

|
| I’m ever influenced by the countless greats
|
| Learning from both their successes and their mistakes
|
| As well as those of my own
|
| If opportunities were ever Kurtis Blow (n)
|
| Well these are the breaks, but
|
| Ask yourself if you’ve never had the pleasure
|
| How all these other music lovers came to find this music treasure
|
| Perhaps the surface dwellers weren’t ready for the depths of my sound
|
| That’s why they call it underground
|
| But I compose these flows
|
| To be some of the illest hip-hop has ever brought ya
|
| Die you ever thought to
|
| Pigeon-hole it thinkin' that could hold it
|
| We can’t call it underground
|
| It’s more like underwater
|
| So you out of order
|
| And if I had a quarter
|
| For ever so-called journalist
|
| With a tape recorder
|
| Claiming my sound is old and it takes it back
|
| I’d be the richest motherfucker in the laundramat
|
