You know your boy ain't sittin out on a beat by P to the Peez
Manifest got heat for the fiends
better yet, put it down on wax I'll sing for the bees
I mean watch out do not get stung
I mean, how the hell can you not get stung?
I mean, hiphop is back in a new form
I'm a newborn, what's poppin son?
I'm at a level up above like opposite the devil
My letters embossed and beveled, I'm the rap rebel (aight)
catch me eye level, never
question, why settle?
g-g-gotta give a shout to the fam
you know we never side steppin (aight)
Check 1 (now that i got your ears pay close attention)
Check 2 (it's true you can't escape a blessin)
Now it's check 3 (can't you see that my path is narrow?)
I'm droppin the old me, out with the old me
In with the new, can't stop this arrow
I wanna fly to the ends of the earth and back
I wanna see the world beneath my feet
it keeps on spinning round, round, round
And when I die, let the music keep movin and improvin
and not through just a few, but the truth shall be the
sound, sound, sound
My songs ain't songs in vain
I write for the lost and fight for the cause
that my mic might cause a chain reaction
it's all in the plan, it can't just happen
walkin the path and i never look back, who lights my way?
And the nights are light as day
you can join the rest but I think I just might stay
Even though the world ain't safe I know I have protection
I live by faith and not by sight, take it as my main suggestion now
Take me for example, what you see shouldn't be a rapper
Instead a chosen weapon to leave your flesh in shambles
(I don't do this for the glory I don't do this for the fame
I only do this for the name that is before me)
