[K-OS] You know I roll with the strength of a lion upon the ground When I pounce on the rhythm and prey upon ill sounds Resonate from the T-dot, making the spot hot For pigs who sweat like those kids from Welcome Back Kotter I'm not selling my soul cause I'm an artist Emcees waste time to be preceived as the hardest The meek posess the earth, so stay modest I treat the music flows like a goddess Never bow, cause if you do then you get caught up in this game Seekin' your own fame, try to fortify your name The only name to fortify is that of the creator Remember what happened to Darth Vader? Darkside [Thrust] Sit back, relax, put on your head gear Let me take you on a ride through the atmosphere Just sit back, relax, put on your head gear Yo, straight through the atmosphere Just sit back, relax, put on your head gear Let me take you a ride through the atmosphere [K-OS] You know the flow is unstoppable Microphones keep it rockable Dropable lyrics, until your body gives you spirit Started kickin rhymes back in 1989 Some people thought I really didn't even know the time So I kept it to myself, lyrics on the shelf Brain food aimed at his strained mental health I was gonna quit back then, and I admit it The industry was dirty and I couldn't get wit' it Had one more chance to make your morse feel the presence Hooked up this video called Musical Essence Now I'm livin' every single day on Rap City And every single head thinks my style's too pretty So I'm thinkin' and blinkin', my mind is continually sinkin' Into abysses and not regrettin' the way I came out Losin' mad light in this harsh reality But there's always something there to remind me [Thrust] Thrust, descender, Thrust be lastin' My style flowin' like a river Emcees steppin' up, it's like another sliver It's up your spine, feel the chill Like thoughts, Thrust be comin' through, tell you this Lyrically specialist, down with Gra**roots The K-OS got the flavor comin' through, ya know It's like the truth, spinnin' to the youth and all the fans Tell a person, tell the next man [K-OS] Now as I awake from the mist 24 years of lies, I'm kind of pissed Cause my pops never told me And when I try to tell him yo, he says I'm insane For using one hemisphere of the brain, he's not to blame Cause we all trapped, they misconstrued every fact So I'm incarnated in session to bring it back To the days when we used to go craze up in the Spectrum Emcees be sayin' nothing out they rectum Dissect 'em Who dat? I'm talkin' 'bout the psuedo-intellects Talkin' about praisin' the earth but giving our women no respect So what you sayin', huh? What you sayin', B? You contradictin' every single word you sprayin', see? 3-PO's is what these rappers be like with gold clothes Just computer parts pimpin' the art to make dough Got the beat from the Murray, keep the vibe Gra**roots You can tell the fradulance by the fruit [Thrust] Vibin', know what I'm sayin'? My man, K-OS Somethin' for the mind Mind power Bottom of the ninth Who's up to bat? No time for wastin', you know what I'm sayin'? Gra**roots, Thrust Yo, we comin' through like this For the nine lucky It don't stop Not ever Eternal
