Lyrics
[Unknown speaker] (I will sleep here until you are out, and I mean it. I want you out.) Don't let the music fool you You ain't running shit the opposite of Metamucil I can do what you do on the mic and produce you It's crucial, when I perform in rap it's like it's voodoo The game is YouTube and I am like Google Meaning I owned it just in case it confuse you The type of wizardry that I spit to beats is unusual Unlike trap, requires you to use your noodles I'm one of the big dogs, not these poodles Apples and oranges, Bentleys, Isuzus I give a damn about opinions from these new dudes When I be getting love from a who's who with a true school So divine how I flow the rhyme Can't be described with no emoticon that you can throw online The hottest thoughts from the coldest mind With coded lines and parables from the oldest times They say O'hen's killing this I sit on God's lap, he's the ventriloquist But the pen skills exist I'm a modern day Twain, [?] Philly slang When I say “bo,” cats up north know what I'm saying Critical pieces, my speeches are Mona Lisas LPs is fragments'll be the code of Jesus I forgot, nowadays ni**as are nonbelievers Since the internet gave ‘em a voice, a lot are divas But what I look like taking advice from non-achievers You need a lot more ‘cause opinions cannot defeat us I'm an elitist followed by leeches Some of the legends that I respect I expect it ‘cause I'm a genius A emcee with the mind of Quincy Only difference is Q had a score, I be on a MP Grew up on the streets of Accra on [?] It intrigued people by rapping the English intrigue International, some motherland ish You need a passport and visa to understand this f*ck a one man band shit, I'm a one man label Pretty soon I'll be a industry, don't say what I can't do ‘cause I garner without being a goner The type of honor and dignity they give to a martyr Gotta be Mick Jagger all the styles that I fathered That's a rolling stone, for you guys that's not smarter The author of horror the moment I'm brought up To the artists who borrow and rob from our coffers You must be on cough syrup thinking you hard sh*t Oh, sorry, the percs, that's cool ‘cause I'm off it [Song Outro] Listen, while they smarten up, they tell you to dumb it down. Then they go and take your culture and ask you to do another sound. Imagine that. Well no matter what they tell you and no matter what trend they try to sell you, don't let ‘em throw out your past. Keep it soulful, keep it ghetto, keep it funky, keep it black
