Intro
Peace
Welcome to The Hear After
Glad ya'll could make it
Thanks for coming through you know what I'm saying
Draw yourself a seat, get comfortable
I see some familiar faces in the crowd
Thanks for coming back
But yo
Verse 1
For those of ya'll that its your first time here
Welcome to the trilogy
I greet you all with confident humility
Please allow me to present the soliloquey
As an exhibition of my said ability
I'm more than a man singing with rhymes
I'm a purveyor of fine lines
And a slayer of swine minds
Check the annals of hip-hop
For the illest sh** ever dropped
And you're bound to find some of mine
For those of ya'll who don't know
To know me is to love me
You might have heard from me
Before you heard of me
Those down from day one
Are now showing their age
Call me the oldest rookie
The rap Satchel Paige
I'm still fixin' the heat
Exposing major heavy hitters with a swift kick and a miss
Quick to put some gym music inside
To protect my home plate
Cause ain't nobody f**ing this c'mon
Hook
We got a really great show for you tonight
Oddysee is in the house and the beat sounds tight
Stay tuned for more Live right here
Ya'll hear me clear? (Ya'll hear me clear?)
We got a really great show for you tonight
Special guest Flow Fader on the cuts, thats right
Stay tuned for more Live right here
Ya'll hear me clear? (Ya'll hear me clear?)
Verse 2
I'm ever influenced by the countless greats
Learning from both their successes and their mistakes
As well as those of my own
If opportunities were ever Kurtis Blow(n)
Well these are the breaks, but
Ask yourself if you've never had the pleasure
How all these other music lovers came to find this music treasure
Perhaps the surface dwellers weren't ready for the depths of my sound
That's why they call it underground
But I compose these flows
To be some of the illest hip-hop has ever brought ya
Die you ever thought to
Pigeon-hole it thinkin' that could hold it
We can't call it underground
It's more like underwater
So you out of order
And if I had a quarter
For ever so-called journalist
With a tape recorder
Claiming my sound is old and it takes it back
I'd be the richest motherf**er in the laundramat
Hook
We got a very special (?) show
Oddysee is on the beat, J-Live is on the flow, yah
Low Budgets in the house right there
Ya'll hear me clear (Ya'll hear me clear?)
Yo we got a really great show for ya'll tonight
Special guest Flow Fader on the cuts, that's right
Stay tuned for more Live right here
Ya'll hear me clear? (Ya'll hear me clear?)
Aaw yeah
