LYRICS:
My heart submerged ‘fore my tongue started surfing
Concerning how one person birth words worth unearthing
Two verse sermon perched up in a 4/4 minbar
A 20 bar memoir of a whirling dervish
Steel sharpens steel but my sword grows the firmest in the burning furnace of my sojourn for purpose
Every step’s a pilgrimage special ed who never read the syllabus
Still got it made and getting paid off how real it is
Have you ever witnessed man with sure hope in his glance
Shure cordless in his hand
Eyes closed wide open lines quoted from his inner scripture in militant chant
Illustrate an image in that instant spit-a-gram
I’m highly acclaimed without a claim
Inquire about my name
Never sought status cracked a higher plane why complain
What type of chain trophy or walk of fame can they grant me
I spit it so grandly that my mimics win their Grammys understand me
I’d rather be King’ed on the balcony than Abernathy
John Kennedy in the lap of Jackie
I pen a sentence bend English make my critics skittish
Board a plane in the final minutes like a photo finish
The beads clack tap the pads beats in beast mode
Murdering the ego just by murmuring the cheat code
La illaha Il Allah
Imagine what a killer saw trapped behind a prison wall
Knowing that within his heart’s the serum that could cure us all
The devil got sentence laws
Sent me letters and I read them scribbled in my scars
I don’t have a soul I am a soul that got a body
Flesh clad like human being is what I’m dressed as at a costume party
I decided to go with the half blind albino eyes red rhinestones
Odd choice yeah I already know
That ain’t the topic though
Greatest that never lived
Debate and get your head split
Shouldn’t have said (ish)
You shouldn’t have said (ish)
