The Alchemist - The Last Shall Be First lyrics

[Verse 1: Rakaa] Gumbo genetic frames, jumbos for cheap on beat Skyscrapin' all through NYC Freewayin' through my L.A. streets Like old school Crenshaw, Sunday nights out in Venice Beach Call it Dope Rhymes and DVD, Free P Hypocrites got us one free of World War III Taxpaying citizens, getting stressed by the Beast Rival one, West Coast artist, rest in peace I'm heaven high, one to ten, eleven high rated Rakaa high, stepping through the fire, repping Dilated Alignment of the stars, I even see it fall From my observatory, I focus and see it all If I could hold the mic, hold the can and see the wall Touch the wax and see the stage and keep waiting for me to stall I don't rest, but I'm definitely blessed I'm Wild West and one of the next The last is first [Hook] Transforming pain into millions... The Last is First The first shall be last, and the last is first [Verse 2: Evidence] The future sights on another sound Shock G was right It's a digital underground, Money B was right too Twenty-three took flight, high school years took mics My words battle, I'm unlike you Despite a couple forks in the road, another episode Apocalypse a couple years away, we run right through Barricades get broke, the marathon get ran Each day the moon sets, the sun shines new And when I move on, I'm done times two I get my groove on, and you gone jet Forget who played who I'm the last of a dying breed, just found a cure for us So jump off my jock, DP the new Award Tour It's top notches, we cop watches But can't buy time, possessed from these objects The Far Left, I'm part of the next The last is first [Hook]
