[Intro: Hermi7 Khalfani]
Yo
Said, teach ya that needed lesson
Yo, I'll teach ya that needed lesson, progression
I'll teach ya that needed lesson, progression
I'll teach ya that needed lesson, progression
..teach ya that needed
[Verse 1: Hermi7 Khalfani]
Yo I'm the hermit, learn it, I'll teach you a needed lesson
Progression, my block rock heavy I'm still reppin'
Your disses, a kiss from my mistress I'm interceptin'
Didn't I teach you to move the right direction?
A black and white crayon could make you a night sky
If you put it all together, your senses, I'm sure you'll find
And that's perception
A lovely a** picture could be a weapon
If Mona Lisa smiled, broke-even, then you'd detect it
Half a second to learn, my n***a, that you're a step in
That door won't close if the love, you just accept it
Especially if brothers could strive to get the message
Home address empty, Malone, yo I'll finesse it
And bless it and Herm'll drizzle the salad dressing
Ain't no need to pour it on, the poor, they tired of stressing
Been oppressed and
Depressing, get pressed for what they're expressing
Lead to penance
A mural could earn you a hard sentence
So we breakin' and runnin' and hittin' them wooden fences
Prevention, this tension, never ending contention
From the box, I snagged the two lackin' convention
Then I colored outside of the lines and got detention
Forgot to mention
I'm doodling notes for this ascension
One flawed move and gramps done lost his pension
It's relentless
No cracker or n***a could get their cents in
Jamaal on the corner and Jim jammin', it's senseless
