[INTRO]
Uh-huh, New Chain… (New Chain!)
Illmac… ain't too much to say, right? (true!)
Going j**ellry shopping (whattup, Pat?)
[VERSE 1]
My surrounding's a war zone, the streets watchin'
Police choppers, concrete cracks beneath my feet, walkin'
Dream big, I'm asleep, but I seem conscious
She feed me grapes while she drape like a Greek goddess
Christlike, walk on water and seem flawless
Turn water to wine, drink from a clean goblet
King speech, slick talk from a sharp tounge
Hot-headed, cold-blooded, my heart numb
Calm nerves but I'll draw first
Initials edged in bronze armor, it's renaissance artwork
Arm, leg, leg, arm, head
Yet the shadow of d**h has arms first, Metatron, God's word
Too smart for the streets, hard for the nerds
Guess I'm caught in between where the margins have merged
Got me feeling like a motherf**ing Martian on Earth
Wear my heart on my sleeve, accept my karma deserved
All I got is my balls and my word – I don't break neither
Never did nobody dirt in traits of a great leader
Can't throw no dirt on my name, I throw no shade neither
I'm on my job while they robbing Paul to pay Peter
Ask anybody, I'll body anybody for a penny probly
Capital punishment, caught so many bodies
Forgive the folly of enemies switching on me
Now the weather man sent me to rain upon your petty party
Pick 'em apart, unless you'll be swimming with sharks
Diss me and get your sh** split just as quick as you start
Shatter gla** jaws, then I'll slit your wrist with the shards
Shoot the light above your head while you sit in the dark
Gla** broke, look at my vision, its tent's green
Consider my pen's ink could clip in a inf-beam
Pad full, ideas can't fit in a 16
Imagine Michelangelo when he finished the Sistine Chapel
I swear I'm hungy and these dudes ain't
About time for a new champ and a new chain
They think they stuntin', I'm on they heels like some new J's
Jedi minded, tell dark side that it's too late
Y'all think Patty could play with me? Hell naw
He was handed his legacy and branded creativily
Canada's reigning King, battle's complacency
Snatching the chain to bring it back on the plane with me
Pulling all-nighters, Rottweiler dog fight
Never lost prior, this a frost bite to a bonfire
God's idol, the wrong cypher, I'm hogtired
A Dodge Viper to a hot-wired Crossfire
I'm all gas, you all thrash. I'm leaving with this paper
I got you out-cla**ed; that's a hall pa**
There's no one better, there's no contendering this nice guy
A battle axe like a warrior; that's Swollen Members
I'm on a bender, b**by trap your whip, expload the fender
Get lit up as soon as you go to enter, like a motion center
I'm in a league of my own, I'ma shoot him
You've been the champ for too long
Without showing improvement
Toronto's your house of bricks, I'll blow your home into ruins
The street fighter, throwing hadoukens
Like I'm bowling for humans
Come across here? Like the scope when it's zoomin'
You take shots, your soul […] like it's holy communion
I told 'em… I keep it basic for these small minds
Before I hang it up, before I hang it up…
Yeah, I keep it basic for these small minds
Before I hang it up, Greatest of All Time
[VERSE 2]
