Who got the
Nerve ta, right some shit that you can swerve ta over
Tracks so phat there nick named Big Bertha.? Itâs
Probably the kid that half your crew has never heard of. Whoâs
Mind travels further, than pussy drugs and murder. So
When you play the role of the Timeless inserter, Iâm
Sorry if your eighty five and you would have preferred a,
Album full of ignorance, that places an experience
Before the reasons why for the sake of soundinâ fly. But
I, grade your Style without the curve, cause you donât deserve
Ta, receive a grade that might let you build up the nerve ta,
Bite the rhyme that feeds you and needs you to listen. My
Words are filled with crystal clear wisdom so they glisten. And
I fill in the blanks for all the answers that your missing. Iâm
Rolling with a mongoose, cause snakes are steady hissinâ to
Expose my flaws like salt in sores. Since they
Cannot be reformed I simply killâem by the fours. I'm the
Reason why this fluid is secreting though your pores and your
Spinal chord won1t let your fingers press pause. My
Concepts lurk in the depths just like Jaws. A
Predator of carnivores, terrorizing herbivores.
So in other words. Naw, fuck the explanation. See,
Thatâs what the rewindâs for so be patient. Cause
This is the direction that my pen should be dragginâ, to
Transform your dollar cabs into bandwagons.
J-LIVE WITH A MIC IS LIKE A CHEF WITH A
BLADE. NO DOUBT, MAN IâLL CUT YA LIKE LUMBER
REPEAT
You see
Somewhere in between the old school and the new school, a
Master of the next school, came to teach the now school. Cause
Business class was steady playing old tricks on new fools. So
Everybody rocks jewels but canât nobody drop jewels.
One track minded, blinded, thinking only pops cool.
Supply and demand rules, replaced by A&R rules. This
Scholar of the next school, he wasnât trying to hear that. So
Principles and teachers abroad began to fear that, if
This guy makes an impact on the students that we played theyâll
End up having way too much control over their grades. See
Grades will equal status for power so just like college, theyâre
So caught up in letter grades they skip the fuckinâ knowledge. See
Thatâs how music power shifts from listener to maker. And
Thatâs why music maker shifts from listener to faker. So
When the listener, graduates to be an artist. Heâs
Still enslaved by the principles because theyâre heartless. See
First they make you imitate another manâs skill.
Now you use your power for another manâs will.
Move the crowdâs mental and they tell you sit still.
Move the crowdâs pocket instead to get the bread. Yeah thatâs
What the students gathered from what the principle said. They
Make you think the world bleeds green instead of red. But
Class is in session now so now that shit is dead. Iâm
Cominâ through with knowledge and wisdom to fill your head.
REFRAIN
âWait a
Minute what the fuck does choppinâ trees have to do with
Culinary?â. Thatâs the spirit kid analyze the lyrics, from the
Moment that you hear it see cause most donât have the skill ta,
Utilize their earâs function as a bullshit filter.
So their brain gets clogged and congested by the time and the
Effort thatâs invested in illusion. And by the timeâs
Definition of reality, by the time you get the
Fact theyâre outnumbered in confusion. So I come. To
Get shit of my chest and up in ya. And I come, to
Make you feel at home with your power. And I come to
Plant seeds of responsibility, and I come,
Harder than a sleeperâs cold shower. Refining and
Refreshing. Reprimanding, those who say theyâre
Representing, by demanding clarity. So when a
Mouthful donât equal an eyeful, an earful sounds
Awful. At least thatâs how it seems to me. So I
Lead by example in my sound proof room. And the
Comp gets trampled on my wack proof stage. And my
Answers be, ample in a packed classroom, cause my
Thoughtâs are reflected on a ink filled page.
