lyrics

Enter the night, darkness envelopes the bending of light
Masculinity's unseen when you're fending off fright
I'm ending the plight, the crack raps, trapping's a fad
Slangin' a bag of blackened schwag while you're yappin' 'bout swag
Your rapping ain't rad, you know it so you throw on your diamonds
Riddle me this, flip off the switch, now who's shinin'?
In the darkness you can only judge by what you can hear
Instead of your eyes use your ears, you'll see I'm wise beyond my years
I rhyme the real, the radio sounds like Aesop's fables
But I guess that's what we get for trusting corporate labels
I'm the light at the end of the tunnel, see I'm a lyrical bundle of joy
Make you hail Mary like Daniel McCoy
Now you're singing defeat, 'cause I'm bringing the heat
Hotter than sparking up coals in India, stinging ya feet
I'm gettin' headaches listening to the silliest beats
I'm about to give rap heart attacks just like Jimmy the Greek

My rhymes will hurt ya, I'm bouncing off the walls like the Prince of Persia
My poetry is in motion, can't be stopped like the law of inertia
An object at rest will stay at rest, so you better put some force in your lines if you wanna compete with the best
A verbal test, study lyrics I wrote like cliff notes
Cleaner than chrome, words are deeper than catacombs
Cataclysmic catalytic converters, adjectives and verbs
Flippin' beats and verses instead of flippin' burgers
Flippant persons that you've never heard of
Steady rippin' beats that knock hard, breaking backs and cracking sternums
Anatomical biological warfare, other rappers are fake like toupees made out of horse hair
It's unfair to put me on the same level as these other young cats who burst into the mainstream and revel
In the fact that they're getting paid in gold chains
You'll never see me sell out or outsold in vain
