| Yo, 9th Wonder, we got one
|
| Never, never done (Rapsody)
|
| And Radio Raheem DeVaughn
|
| Church on the moon
|
| My birthplace was the Bronx
|
| Adidas with the fat shoelaces
|
| Gazelles are the frames on our faces
|
| Goin' back, I was on?
|
| We been buildin' this forty years strong
|
| The game is for the takin' this is history in the makin'
|
| Let me make it clear (La la la la)
|
| This ain’t no bubble gum rap with 9th on the track
|
| With Rapsody? |
| (La la la la)
|
| This is this is
|
| This is (La la la la)
|
| This is this is
|
| This is (La la la la)
|
| This is this is
|
| This is (La la la la)
|
| This is this is
|
| This is (The real)
|
| I stay on my P’s and my Q’s
|
| S’s TU’s I’m always workin'
|
| How you spell success in the STU
|
| Some get they money, like to blaze in the Coupe
|
| The greats spend days practicin' like the hoops
|
| We the truth, none realer
|
| Too uncommon like Dilla to light
|
| I shine, my rhymes come paired like the Williams
|
| Two twenty-twos I’m a sister worth millions
|
| Lyrically they all fear the flow like Big Williams
|
| Polo dipped, loco whips
|
| Won’t impress if the globe want potato crisps
|
| Rap back like the NATO, connect with gods
|
| Cause my eyes’ll be enlarged, weighed out like Chris
|
| Yo, the bigger the gold, I’m really the mold
|
| Which you’d really wanna be if you had any soul
|
| You’re soul, I burn slow like four fours hittin'
|
| '95 spirit in the days it was written
|
| Cats stay trippin', but rip and I’ll never stop
|
| Got a little buzz, now I bubble like a kettle pop
|
| I know the devil watch and wanna touch me, but like metal box
|
| I stay locked under this hip-hop, forever God
|
| Reckless necklace flows, I’ll hang 'em
|
| Real comin' back, now these rappers all changin'
|
| Fear for careers, I don’t cower to new power
|
| Duracell, it never runs out for an hour
|
| Keep destroyin', smoke 'em like sour
|
| Break 'em all down to rebuild 'em like towers
|
| That’s the real
|
| This is (La la la la)
|
| This is this is
|
| This is (La la la la)
|
| This is this is
|
| This is (La la la la)
|
| The modern day saints of our stories
|
| New torch bearer, we the children like Corey
|
| Guns are the ones that ran? |
| to the millions
|
| And watched Mike and Deloris
|
| Used to ride a Nori, now the people in quarry
|
| About the five-three MC with old?
|
| Got a bite on the mic like the likes of Lauryn
|
| Hip-hop, score got to settle this to flip flop
|
| Back to when cats would roll Lexs like wrist watch
|
| Elbow out the door bumpin' Nas 'til the speaks pop
|
| Couldn’t see me eye to eye, keep pumpin' your Reboks
|
| Radder rearviews, clear view I don’t fear you
|
| Or you, you should keep a ear to the streets too to hear true
|
| I been in the booth, yeah killin' on the daily
|
| Jam to represent another baby of the '80s
|
| Katy Perry I grew up on Mary
|
| The flow vary cause I studied those old from the aries
|
| Pot of gold, why I shine like that fine, it’s scary
|
| The game over, I killed whack MCs, all buried
|
| It’s the real
|
| The game is for the takin' this is history in the makin'
|
| Let me make it clear (La la la la)
|
| This ain’t no bubble gum rap with 9th on the t-
|
| TDE, ladies and gentlemen, Ab-Soul!
|
| So while you niggas keep bangin' the same drum
|
| I’m smokin' like I ain’t got the same lungs
|
| I had when I started, pardon my ignorant rants
|
| I rap like I move keys but Apple S can’t save 'em
|
| There’s only so much you can show 'em
|
| They been reading his story so long, think they know him
|
| I’m sewing up the game, I need needle and thread
|
| Some people lead sheep, some people just need wool
|
| The shit cuts deep
|
| Rugby toughin' the feel, you be where the rugs be
|
| In the house nigga, with the rest of the house niggas
|
| Thug life, rolling, my homies are screaming «fuck life»
|
| Showin' love at the same damn time
|
| I’d say the future is looking bright contrary to CNN
|
| Give me a mic and about three nights
|
| I turn straw into gold like Rumpelstiltskin
|
| Man I made a man cry vibing to Be A Man
|
| Walking like an Egyptian, life ain’t pharaoh
|
| Boy just got shipped and the judge don’t care
|
| I’ll take my steak where, maybe it will help me bare
|
| With all the bloody consequences obvious in this here
|
| So I guess I got the game figured out all wrong
|
| I guess you never know what you got til it’s gone
|
| Til' every terrain on this plane experience sunshine
|
| Two fingers up and fuck one time
|
| So allow yourself to get caught up in the Rapsody
|
| And the 9th Wonder of the world actually
|
| Raheem DeVaughn
|
| Soul! |
