Hook:
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
Verse 1:
I'm in the lab with another one, jams I discover ‘em
Chiselin' the marble, the art to uncoverin'
Gems outta rocks, with the pen I provide
'til I fold or quit if and when I decide
Maybe not, I'll probably be a lifetime monopoly
I mean seriously who the hell is stoppin' me
When I can see the future, viewer of the prophecy
Obviously I came from the sewer and I'm kinda street
But I'm kinda deep
That's why people in power respect honestly
That's just how it be
I entertain but my words enter brains
In a game where it pays to do more of the same
So the moral of this thing is who really needs him?
As long as the people hit the floor and I see ‘em
I see I'm gon' have to bring the rapture to y'all
Let's see who stands after the fall
But in the meantime
Hook:
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
Verse 2:
Every tune I write is a new highlight
I'm in tune, I write only tunes I like
And speak pa**ionately, I try to paint portraits
Like a pastor you see, I just change pulpits
And play organs 'til they [?]
And say gorgeous lines that they gon' dig
And they gon' miss when I take on [?]
Transitional state 'til the day I'm gone
This is my world, y'all squirrels tryna get an almond
While I'm eatin' salmon on a freakin' island
Some people try to say I ain't release a album
For every joint they drop I got at least a thousand
That's why I'm loungin' and studying guitar more
You rap for the drum loops tryna be hardcore
I'm all for the development of rap
Now tell me what's more intelligent than that
[?] the chorus
Hook:
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
Verse 3:
I'm the one people mimic but don't seem to get it
‘cause I just spit it, this is more than a gimmick
I send ‘em to the clinic wit' it, flows is like Riddick
Bowe with the blow, hit the flo', I am wicked
Scientific, I design and mix lines in my sick sick mind, am I twisted?
Try gifted or esoteric, digitalize music and retro lyrics
It's kinda careless the way that I drop j**els
Knowin' ya fools is high school, that's not cool
A PhD with a PH[?] steez[?]
Charge a grip for my lectures, we ain't cheap
I'm the kid with the message
The A Team minus eighteen other emcees, ain't me
Not the same thing even when they tryna be
Probably because they ain't live as me so
Hook:
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
You know I'm keepin' ‘em hooked
Hooked from the melody line
