lyrics

Nawlij:
I'm a Jamaican raggamuffin comin' straight outta Maryland
Got more bite than Scruff McGruff fightin' the Taliban
An American, proud to be grounded in Germantown
My roots run deep like Kunta, keep in G, got no time to clown
My frown is barely seen, beam optimism in my prism
Isms and schisms flow freely out the concrete jungle prison
I have risen from the single-dimensional state of mind
Kindly find me spreading love to all races, various faces
Breakin' braces, barriers, homeostasis with my words
That is my basis, gift and curse, no bullet casings in my verse
My prose is rosy, I keep it true for my homies
Only show what I know from experience not just from TV
They cannot see me, I Wonder if they're Stevie
My timing with the rhyming makes my job look easy
We're essential to the game like Kobe to the Lakers
It's Nawlij and Spazmodic comin' straight outta Jamaica

Spazmodic:
Steppin' off the plane with Dalton dirt on my shoes
Hauling verses across the Earth just like the bird does the flu
Skimming curd off my soup, you heard on the news
That Spazmodic and Nawlij are brothers, I guess you're learning the truth
We're like two troops in a herd, using the verb
To describe what occurs in the booth, murder
I go from Goshen to the ocean and end up on a cruise
Sittin' up in my room, like a broom get swept away by the boom in the bass
Increase the volume, stretch the threshold of the decibels in the instrumentals out like a tube sock
The family tree is so big, you can feel the roots rock
To see the top, you gotta keep your head up like Tupac
An amazing race of survivors and providers, if you're with me hold your lighters to the sky and pop a cider
Give me a "J" so loud it can be heard in space
Followed with the "A-M-A-I-C-A"
We may play in a slow pace, but we spice things up like Old Bay
So everything is "Irie", that means "Okay"
You feel no pain when the music hits
In my expert opinion, that's the best part of it
If you look hard enough, you can see the heart in it
We started out in a dark place now we are starts
Shifting into quasars, slay beats when we lay sick (Lasik) lyrics
Firing lazers
