These bars like sharp edged
Weapons that leave scars
Sever through veins
And arteries martyr these bleeding hearts
Part of me skeptical
At the thought of a clean start
'cause I grew up playing the dirty dozens
In seedy parks
And ironically now I get exceeding
Marks in wordplay
And a new crop of gray hairs
On every birthday
'cause I stay worried Imma snap
From the pressure
Got unprecedented urges
To murder mics in the worst way
And first sway heard the queen drop a 24
And then y'all finally understood
What I was stunting for
I'm a formidable behemoth for the record
Get em shook and disappear
From off the grid to become hunting lore
Honey born from bittersweet beginnings
Had to pay the cost
Them sharks and crocodillos tried
To make me prey-lacoste
But now I'm making waves
With every verbal altercation
Ain't nobody trying to get entangled
In these famous jaws
A language connoisseur
Got em savoring my soliloquies
Mastering the art of every letter
Like calligraphy
You can find me posted up
Wherever hiphop's illest be
Showing off over the dopest
Of james dilla's beats
They want me to simmer down
Think I'm too much huey p
But they attacking my opinions 'cause
The hue in me
So Imma black out on every verse
I spit until anybody listening
Can speak swahili fluently
Humans think I'm so damn gorge
Like the olduvai
Bone structure got em tryna recreate
A mold of I
It's too few originals left
In the game that's why I'm trying
To leave a long lasting impression
On my vocal files
The locals proud of their hometown hero
Roc make them step up their bars
Like old man ebro
Bust a hot97 on the air
And have the whole place frozen
At 30 below zero
