Archetype |
| Now, Who the fuck are you to judge me? |
| Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can & can’t do? |
| Can you repeat the feats I’m achieving to rhymes and beats |
| Or even conceive that I’ll be competing still even when I’m deceased |
| Now beating me is easier than finding peace, But niggas still criticize |
| My work and my lines and my shirt down to the size |
| In a world of scouring eyes, and words compounded by lies |
| The artistry of lyricism I epitomize |
| Cause I’m the archetype — original as they come |
| Ayo, they broke the fuckin mold when they made this one |
| Said I’m the archetype, cause there can only be one |
| The day intelligence sells, we’ll leave the industry stunned |
| It’s overwhelming, cause there’s so much to say and so much to change |
| But for every rapper constantly bitching, I made a record that’s honestly |
| different |
| Just watch the world scoff in the distance, and cynic’s bark in resistance |
| And still, in its wake, this archetype’s bound to mimmicked |
| This is the new hip-hop, devoid of boundaries, gimmicks |
| Or rigid genres, with no apologies given |
| To solemnly sing aloud and then spit poly’s without inhibition |
| In a world where courage is reprimanded, but cowardice isn’t |
| The power to listen and learn, keeps me adaptive |
| A tribe fan that appreciated the classics |
| But damn if I’m trapped in the past, I act to surpass what they crafted |
| And still manage to travel the path on the maps that they drafted |
| And man, I’m rappin on behalf balance |
| The do it all MC, with the 2 long sleeves, and a passion for practical magic |
| A tap of the wand, and I’m graphic — another tap, I’m the fastest |
| You tap again, and I’m chanting on a piano ballad |
| The preconceived notions get shattered |
| Fuck mainstream & underground — is the shit any good? |
| is what matters |
| Why categorize? |
| There’s wack and there’s nice |
| So, I put all that to the side and reset the standard for any cat that just |
| asks for a mic |
| So with that in mind, Them niggas won’t last after they’ve established their |
| hype |
| While mine’s only added, more than half of my life |
| And I’m last in a line of cats with divine talent — Don’t ask for a sign |
| Answers will rise in the passage of time — |
| Cause I’m the Archetype |
