lyrics

(0:25)
It’s evident, that I’m delvin in’…
I revel in the rhythm, and not just for the hell of it.
Spittin’ eloquent lyrics from my spirit to your head.
If you hear it, then your peerin’ at my soul, it’s folded in…
I’m holdin’ motives dear and moldin’ potent flows to make em clear.
Bring your ear closer here,
I’ll steer your mind, ain’t no risks to fear.
Here am I,
listen and you’ll find what you’re missin’ in your rhymes.
Where’s your vision? It’s imprisoned in sadistic lies…
I’m bringing somethin’ different, not a trick a’ mind.
I’m gifted, but I’m liftin’ up a mission way beyond the pride ya hide behind.
Why ya twistin’ time,
tryin’ to fit it in an image that you’ve planted in your damaged mind?
I ain’t got patience for the cryptic glyphs ya misdefine.
Leave the mystic wisdom to the Resurrected Gift we live to find.
I’ll set my neck upon the guillotine before I’ll lie about the Realest Thing.
I don’t fear to die. (1:07)
Listen close and you can tell
The rhythm is the motion where I dwell
The prison where you live in is yourself
Break the bars and free your soul, then you prevail.
(1:28)
I define excellin’ in intelligence as spittin’ somethin’ relevant.
Curtail your embellishments,
they fail to tempt my mind, time and time again.
I find my solace in the silence in between the rhymes you’ve said.
I’ve cleansed my mind from the grime you spit.
Even if you got grit, lit flows and a sick sound,
I ain’t gonna stick around if you keepin’ shallow when reality’s profound.
You’re like a flicker, I can see your light dyin’ now.
I’m seekin’ somethin’ that’ll heat a fire ‘til it reach the clouds.
Quiet down.
Listen ‘til you’re ready to apply yourself.
I’m tired a’ the trite mindless lines you’ve dealt.
It’s time to build somethin’ real that’s felt,
Rhymes that can heal the hell where our time finds itself.
Then I’ll feel the word play your dealin’ out.
Once your rhythm is livin’ to give me somethin’ to listen about.
Until then, I’ll keep lightin’ these beacons myself. (~2:09)
Listen close and you can tell
I hold the Most High sacred, take this as you will
My motives are devoted, so I know that I’ll prevail
I’m floatin’ on the winds a’ change, liftin’ up the veils.
(2:31)
I’ll prevail no matter the state I’m in.
When I get a tailwind,
I extend my wings and I ascend.
I will never fail,
I’m not playin’ just to win.
I’d rather hail in a New Day, honor God, and give my gifts to lift the Message. It’s a cleanse.
It’s more than but a blend.
It’s a lens I’m givin’ you to see the present tense.
Drop defense and read the Truth with your inner sense.
I’m ridin’ loops and givin’ you these sentences,
so that you can be your better self. It’s like a medicine.
Take it in
and rectify whatever you’ve been hesitant to edit in
your life. It’s high time to meditate and elevate until you’ve set it straight again.
We’re headed to some ancient gems
a’ wisdom, droppin’ on your head, so let ‘em in.
Don’t credit me, I’m nothin’ but a hollow reed,
liftin’ up a melody until it’s heavenly,
a masterpiece that will never see an end. (~3:15)
Listen close and you can tell
I hold the Most High sacred, take this as you will
My motives are devoted, so I know that I’ll prevail
I’m floatin’ on the winds a’ change, liftin’ up the veils.
Listen close and you can tell
The rhythm is the motion where I dwell
The prison where you live in is yourself
Break the bars and free your soul, then you prevail.
