[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I feel like Julius Caesar, I need to find a Cleopatra, this s*** feels like the New Egypt, or the New Roman Empire
I feel my name should be Ptolemy, writing all this Greek mythology
Kind of like Homer with the Odyssey, one big eye like Polyphemus
Cannibal Cyclops, I'm eating you rappers, illest emcee of my era
Welcome to the ILLClinton nation, monarchy, no democracy
Vernacular similar Socrates, philosophically I rock the beat
Standing on top of the pyramids n****, hieroglyphics way I'm spitting these images
Atlanta poet, Phoenician with phonics, scriptures like prophets create me a profit
Ain't nobody messing with my conglomerate, Plato I say so, my language is classical
Wordplay to powerful, haters they want to assassinate, but it's too late, it's already a massacre every time Brennan P hops on the microphone
[Hook]
(New Alexandria, s*** coming together like its Pangaea
Ill world order, yeah we run it n****. Rapping these scrolls like a mummy n****.) X2
[Hook]
(You can feel it in your soul we're taking over. You can feel it in your soul we're taking over. You can feel it in your soul we're taking over. We ain't stopping ‘til we take over the thrown, the illest.) X2
[Verse 2]
Ancient flow, but this is futuristic. Language so lethal, so terroristic
Brennan goes mental on instrumentals, similar hieroglyphics on temples
Ill world ‘til the damn world is ending, facts all I know, boy, I don't write no fiction
Everyday we hustle ‘cause we're on a mission to enlighten your mind and show you what's divine
Bricks, I got bricks, I got bricks, brick, but I'm talking them pyramids
Spitting I'm coming through ripping s***
Flipping this scrilla, we're getting it
Like automatics, I'm lyrically spraying
Rappers be biting like its ricocheting
Insightfully, I am ahead of my time. ILLClinton, it's time for the rise of the nation
[Hook]
