MC Mantra - Rapper's Duality lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's Go, Ah, Yeah I am alpha, omega The sabotage, the saviour Your match and your maker Meet us both, we can take ya' I'm a purist and a faker Destroyer and creator Demigod demonstrator Man-made human nature Made up of pain and pleasure Good and evil in equal measures Contradict with quantities, bad taste and mad flavour A blunt foreign object, literal translator I'm a walking cliché, literary Fantasia I'm a punk in a [pop fit], a scholar and a scallywag Represent my hood but never reveal my habitat Wage war with truth, make lies the first casualty Solo artist calling on a colossal cavalry Unmatched tenacity, but no salary Live in the centre of attention on the outskirts of sanity Can't tell if I'm actual fact or actual fallacy Just act naturally, it's part of a Rapper's Duality [Hook] Two sides of the coin Two sides of the blade Two sides to every story that I write on a page Polar opposites attract both sides of my brain That's why I'm up for gettin' down on stage [Verse 2] I am music, I am lyrics Like Plutonic & Muph be So beautiful, so ugly Which is why you hate to love me But trust me You can bite the head off of this Dundee I'll only reappear bearing the flags of other countries My – pit is bottomless My – music is [ominous?] My understatement is subtle, which is blatantly obvious Equal parts Orwell, Blake and Shakespeare Proof Mantra all be couldn't fit in any category Outspoken allegory, tear the system up With a bomb strapped to my chest yelling “Terrorism s**s!” I'm a lover and a fighter A bully and a pacifist A soldier and an activist Spiritual and blasphemous I started getting high, when I quit smoking cannabis Now that I'm done chillin' You can catch me where the action is Where the bones are broken To be kinda honest, man, I'm not a fan of confrontation I just kinda like emotion I figure I'm either a wolf in a sheep's clothing Or a great white rapper that lives in the deep ocean So I'mma keep hoping until it's back to reality A gift and a curse, this is the Rapper's Duality [Hook] Two sides of the coin Two sides of the blade Two sides to every story that I write on a page Polar opposites attract both sides of my brain That's why I'm down for gettin' up on stage [Verse 3] Close talker slash long hearer Modern artist who was played by being born in the wrong era Bond villain slash superhero Mick Jagger slash sick rapper Your baby momma's favourite super lover She call me daddy like a motherf**er [Not actual woes?] slash the other gunner The funky drummer Up-and-comer slash veteran Wicked with adrenaline Wreaking havoc and administering bad medicine On stage I'm a confident guy But this is all a disguise Really I'm awkward and shy Constantly walking a lie Brave and d**hly afraid at the same time I'm a thousand different people contained in the same mind That's me in the corner, improving my lyricism That's me in the spotlight losing my inhibitions Introvert and extrovert, a party-prowling hermit Scared of being alone but interaction makes me nervous A sunny chap with a bad case of depression Vulgar, profane, can't campaign in a message Made a Molotov co*ktail with champagne resin And then I set fire to hell, with a match made in heaven That made an impression Raised a couple aggressions So I razed the village just to teach them a lesson Listen, I'm happiest when in the meanest mood A man of the most expensive taste for ever munching on the cheapest foods A lust for human flesh, plus I got the sweetest tooth Since the word “go” I've wanted to have my cake and eat it too My brain's full of conflict, madness and calamity Don't be mad at me It's the duality of a mad MC
