| My mind designed like a Mayan pyramid
|
| When you climb up the steps you could get where the emerald is I left witnesses for those who didn’t believe
|
| Show the depths of sentences, y’all forbidden to leave
|
| Alphabets become images you listen and see
|
| How to breath other lyricist who breathe 3-D
|
| Trapped in each bar gets deep with the God
|
| Like the 5 Pillars that they teach at the Mosque
|
| Trying to define killing you seek a mirage
|
| Terrified thriller have you reach in your heart
|
| Priest 'fenna get dark, dark as he can get
|
| Dark as the first nine Pharaohs who ruled Egypt
|
| Dark as the moon casts its shadows across eclipse
|
| Dark as the ladies with the tarots telling your secrets
|
| Dark as the gun barrel right before you squeeze it I enter you mind like a auditorium
|
| Your picture was distorted but I restored your film
|
| Now you see clearer my pen has a lens
|
| Like I’m sitting in the theatre coming back again
|
| Remind you of Rakim but I’m not him
|
| Though we one and the same; |
| the second coming of Kane
|
| I’m like Kool G Rap put the Uzi in rap
|
| Or KRS-One said «It was cool to be black»
|
| For Slick Rick pronounced that the Ruler was back
|
| Back in the days where gold jewelry fat
|
| Before Wu or Biggie, Nas, Jigga or Fifty
|
| That was new yeti, they ruled the city
|
| On the West-coast it was run by Death Row
|
| 'Pac gave Thug Life but I just hug mics
|
| The grip of the Python, the strength of my right palm
|
| Will crush a competitor’s life-form
|
| +How Many+ emcees must I defeat?
|
| +How Many+ rhymes must I show a technique?
|
| +How Many+ metaphors?
|
| +How Many+ letters in all?
|
| +How Many+ times must I show that I am better than y’all?
|
| Rhymes after rhymes, metaphors are lined
|
| Since '84 I recall the times
|
| Left MC’s, inside of morgues and shrines
|
| Weak technique get absorbed like wine
|
| Then I piss 'em back under the trees and vines
|
| This rapper, that rapper, I proved I’m better
|
| Next month I’m 'bout battle Webster
|
| Do you think you can handle my pressure?
|
| The way that my thinking when I play with the ink pen
|
| Is he old or new school? |
| (Think, I think old school)
|
| Nah I’m in a class by myself
|
| Plus I drop math and I blast like a Stealth
|
| The bars you spit I use for chin-ups
|
| Soon as you lay 'em down I press the bench up Then I start spinning like them nunchucks
|
| Each paragraph is like the Pharaoh in the past
|
| Wide as a dome piece and narrow as the path |
