[Verse 1]
Even though I never met you
You gave my audible recognition something exquisite to connect to
A gift considered as special
Driven by your body of work and the spirit inside of the vessel
1974, thirty seven years since you were born
It takes more than the absence of flesh to consider you gone
Celebrate 'til the end of this song so that you'll never be mourned
What up James? I know you're free from pain
At the Pearly Gates, hear the world scream your name
From the Detroit to the soldiers deployed
Your sounds let us see joy
And that's right your light brought us together
J Dilla, pure Hip-Hop forever!
[Verse 2]
For those of you who thought it was over, you're in a treat
Cause I'mma rip this beat the way J Dilla would expect me to
The Verse k**ah is impeccable, all threats are susceptible
Every verse is exceptional, I divide to the decimal
Climb with the decibel, rise to the sky with the rhymes you're connect to
Yo, I clutch mics 'til my knuckles break, punchlines like
f** your face, other guys ask: "What's his name?"
Pootie Tang in a puzzled slate, "SAHDAHTAY"
One whip shows how the buckle tastes, n***a
How you something great?
You could be a CHUCK NORRIS artist TOTAL GYM
And you still wouldn't hustle weight
Pumping cake, you run but I won the race
And I only love my women in doubles
So I ain't stopping 'til I'm married in a chapel with two lesbian couples
I never stumble and I'm mentioned as humble
Earned my STRIPES
But every TIGERs LYING/LION like they're BARING/BEAR IN the jungle
Try it and prepare for a rumble
Silence or violence with the fearsome confront you
[Verse 3]
