lyrics

Verse 1

I step live on the entrance like it's been a long time missin'
in reality it's just a short distance/
from here to the stage a straight line is the quickest,
give math problems when our worth multiplies the digits/
what are you ignant?
in an instant speech spoke light is shown in it still black is the pigment/
and I'm here to do what the hell I intended
fuck if you like it I write it for the pioneers to dig it/
wrote for future tradition
this will live long after I'm gone in 3030 we gon' be the illest/
word to Bruce Willis
MC's get crushed under feet with a vengeance & Die Hard in each sentence/
the sound is recommended my speed limit isn't
you'll hydroplane on the flow yo out of control collision/
so pump your brakes if you fail to mention the 2 henchmen
that will make you throw a few fits in conniption/-

Verse 2

when the scene seems hopeless
the team redeems focus
with a motive didn't think we'd take notice/
so we return like Hocus Pocus
'shim shim la bim'
behind a puff of cloud that we be smokin'/
y'all rappers are the lowest
Bill & Ted bogus
who lack in rap & a potent dosage of dopeness/
while we are the coldest don't ever try & hoe us
the baby powder pimp slap fast strike like a cobras/
on G.I. Joe soldiers become the globe holders
come clean off the top attacking your head & shoulders/
pro tree blowers gives the poetry motors
big beef MC's become poultry flow-ers/
creative cadence for the culture captivates
dispose of posers,
the black shed light for exposure/
you don't know a/Noah mic totter to bring
beast lines in 2's & 3's it's the flood over beats/-

Verse 3

we not to be confused or crossed with these other dudes
it's the 2nd coming of mics the 1st a prelude/
my mind travels through my arm to hand that holds the pen
from then it's a continuation/
like a foul violation
in the act of makin' raisin' stakes in conversation over instrumentation/
And 1
gotta re-think his occupation heart gets to racin' he gets lost in translation/
the ones that this finds will be in exact correlation
with Hip Hop manifestation a festation/
so break out from the typical still
our offerings are minimal
compared to the bigger picture visuals/
fuck that
turn wack thug rap to crash dummy
& flip you the bird man & not the one from cash money/
Ill that's Ill still so real
I'm Ice Cube in Grand Theft nigga I kill at will/wheel/-
