lyrics

Hey there, how you doin'?
The name is Nawlij and that is what I'm persuin'
I'll use the music to spread the truth and my views 'til I'm useless
Or until my uses exceed the needs of pupils and students
The pen is mightier than the sword, but the mind is mightier than the pen
Mental slavery is plaguing the people, their families, and their friends
While the one's who aren't affected sit and watch and pretend.
So I will never fall in line, I refuse to
That's why I spit the kinda rhymes you're not used to
All these rappers sound the same, you can't even tell who's who
You all wanna play gangstas until they actually shoot you
So what, I'm skinny as a toothpick
These loose lips will hit you with spit with more flow than cruise ships
I'm on my way to the top with no pit stops
I ain't trying to bite Luda but I do it for hip hop

I'm a lyrical arsonist, biblical in proportion
It's startin' to seem like Nawlij is rockin' in this metropolis
Sparkin' with my conglomerates, toppin' the charts, poppin' my art
A shot in the dark and I'll tell you there ain't no stoppin' this
I'm scouring the lands, learning how to be a man
I'll grind my mind and write my rhymes until the power leaves my hands
In less than an hour you'll be a fan
I'm too fly up in the sky, y'all just waitin' for me to land
Now I don't mean to be a hater, but I don't cater to the lowest common denominator
From Harlem to Jamaica, I'm dropping atomic bombs on these haters who can't stand seeing me shine
I spit rhymes reminiscent of Jay-Z in his prime
Look to either side of me and you'll be seein' a dime
A little bit older in age but I'm still a flirt
Now I'm kickin' sound waves just to make these killers hurt (killaz hert)
