Vietnam war zones
I criticize the housing project, criticize the militias
I'm pro 'Free Palestine', pro 'pacification process'
So stop…
…know which one
Which one?
Yeah, just go in ...

…to the one
The source—right back to the one
I remember how trax were built at one time
They simply went on for the sake of the rhyme
And the verses kinda…
…in their room
Just like Biggie said: “It was all a dream”
To wake up one day part of the hip-hop scene
So I started with a table, a hand and a fist
And it went…

…in single file now
But I still don't keep my pinky finger nail filed down
Got some homies prolly lookin' at a scale right now…
Trynna come up wit the money for the bail right now
Time's up so time out time to wile out
I don't care if it's light out party…
…pop
Pop went left, left went right to fill the spot
Funeral plots for all of it
Bringing you something authentic the minute I…

…circle staying tight
Like my grip be on this mic
My life is filled with darkness
But I always find the light, right?
Where'd I leave…
…out of mine
My fingers on line and my trying to decide
Do i divide this divine skill of mine to justify
You as a being
Earthly but so…
…come back cause I condemn
Back to being solo then
Approach me slow so I can know
That you are equal to my low
Connected…

Promising I'd be the one to bring HipHop back
Ha...like it ever left
F*ck a Genre-oops I should watch my step
I went…

…the first of the month
So I don't wanna' hear anybody being broke tonight
I need everybody to get to the dance floor
Show us what you…
…bad but no time to feel sorry
It's time to get right, ain't a lot of time left
Sip on some pregame wit' the homies is the best
Now…
…it's time for the test, so what you gone do
Do I rock wit' the 9 or do I piece wit' the deuce
And I stay on Q, I'm hangin' wit…

…often if they face off (wooh)
You're calling me sober, so I save the sh*t
I done drink so much I don't even know what being famous…
…in the days, the yaowa was a trapper
Scribbling raps up in my trapper
Keep up, don't keep, uhh, calling me the same rapper
I MC, get it right, Jack Dempsey with the right…
…but they won't let us live again
Monday through Friday, so pull up in a different Benz
Just in case they thought I was losing focus, n*gga, switch…

Scribbling raps up in my trapper
Keep up, don't keep, uhh, calling me the same rapper
I MC, get it right…
…the only genre that don't seem to applaud consistency
So when I say I'm nice they ain't know how far the distance be
Cause to me it's…

…up on man like Ghetts
Came through when I said I was next
I can back my talk
Left spitters outlined in chalk
I can name you a list of corpse
But I…
…don't need man coming back from the dead for more
A quad bike nearly took my life
I hopped up like Jesus walks
So…
…oxygen
Whatever genre is long for 'em cause I got more sides to me than an octagon
So go on rap, pop, grime or take your pick…

Not everyday smacking your lips about these slappers and these trappers
How your man a' run with hammers, bit ironic right?
Excuse my manners, no I…
…about right
But that's about it, just a top show'er with the ice
If I dig beneath the surface where your biggest flaws alike lie
I'd…
…a lack of integrity, only doing disservice
And so I'm struck with perplexity when you're streaming on services
Underneath our genre comma…

You know how life just goes good?
Verse 1:
I'm almost back on top
Do you wanna shop?
I don't usually but if I have so much…
…ice
But look at Jason and Corey oh they're so nice
Or as the movie would like to put it they're so dope
Rap as a genre can help you…
…cope
But I don't need that now I'm having a good day
What can you say
Sometimes things just go right
Everything is in sight
You…

Grinding hooves down to the frog

Turn up piano, mute guitar

If he's not here (we're on in six)
I'll improvise a brand new mix
It's everything I once dreamed so bright eyed
So why am I not satisfied?
I like…
…the taste -- I can't lie
I think I'll take another bite
Is there a method I've not tried?
I've got an itch that I'm right
So now I'm…
