This the
Revisitation of cla**ic to prove that I'm the master
But not only that, I'm on the verge of the former adjectival function
That I used to describe timeless -
Mind is over matter all the time, I'm bout to redefine rhyming
Must've said it five times, but...
All these cats seem to think that they're immortal
n***as think that they got nine lives, but
n***as walkin' on a fine line, and
I spent more than enough watching the throne, but it's high time that
Somebody took it; I got it, I'm bookin'
Studied all the prodigy inside the projects of Brooklyn
Studied all the Prodigy inside the projects of Queens
Motherf**er might as well call me a product of Shook Ones
Cause this is hip hop - I don't ever see it degressin'
Practice for perfection every time I'm in the session
If I'm talkin' Smith & Wesson not an automatic weapon
Just my lyrical discretion that has taught a lot of lessons..
Yo; this the coast of the Atlantic at its top notch -
Now its not a lie when I say that I'm in a drop top
Ridin' with the baddest chick in pa**enger, pa**in' spliffs
n***as think they know but never know the half of it; I'm on it
A(head) of my time, like Nastradamus
Promise that my star is gon' shine as soon as I find it
Homicide on multiple birds - with the same rock, and
Back in school I was sick of learning the same knowledge
Pops was sick of reprimanding letters from the teachers
Setting standards tryna get that little man out of the bleachers
On the sidelines - maybe even off 'em on the team
But what you could be stays potential when you keep doubting your dreams
Everyone here underestimates how sick you've gotta be
When you're flowing with the pen if you wanna spread your diesease
I spread it like a virus, city's pretty clean
Dodge 5-0 to survive, still gritty, still mean
Try to fit me in the cuffs - get me on my knees
Pull me over to the side to meet a quota for their green, but...
Never that, we stay on the scheme;
My flow is deeper going solo than you could be with your team
Already chasin' somethin, that I could never have
So that only means the chase can last forever till I pa**
No weather can outlast the mast I've tethered from my past
So when the hate amounts that, you can come back and have a laugh..
Until that day comes - I suggest you pack your bags
They used to call us punks, but this sh** is hardly daft -
Before ringtone rap started kicking out the sag
We used to wear our skinny jeans and all they did was think us f*g
But you be trippin' on your clothes, slippin' on the cash race;
We ran the track, your a** was sittin', get the facts straight
Half these cats haven't even see a vac-seal
Not to say I'm in the trap, but I could tell you that's real -
So I explain to these cowards like Nas gave to power
Blaze the haze in the flower you couldn't raise to my tower
E.K. makes it rain and ya'll just makin' it shower
The fact is your DJ is paying him by the hour
Staying visible from the tip of your crew to the tip of your shoes..
I ain't trippin spittin' writtens to you
You don't have the versatility my syllables do
And I can't imagine what you'll feel once the residuals through
I'm done
