To every being ever called up to spend
Just a blink 'fore it ends – we gon' bring y'all in
A couple cling to the wall they defend
Either sink or swim – we gon' bring y'all in
Baby string can't haul them gems
You trynna ring all ten? Time to bring y'all in
I turn a king to a thrall of the pen
And what the team scrawl then is about to bring y'all in
Scent of my magnetism is animalistic
Luck of the nothin' – tug of the draw's pan-pacific, kid
Knuckle and brawl and handle your business
Sparring with a phantom is tantamount to dancin' – rhythm deficient
Officially minted, leave a critic to speculate
If you're the next great, where's the hint of pimp in your gait
Strode steady for years, still standin' after my appearance here
Stabilize my saber, the spearmint spear
Full flavor to spare, sip it with a modicum of self-restraint
Self-proclaimed prophets have felt faint
Shell of a saint yellin' devilish thangs in their harangue
This fella claims the spirit is spent? Tell him it aint
From ashes arise a Lazarus to gather them back
Babbling pragmatists and satirists are lathered in flack
Tapping the pattern out: dit-dot-dash in mathematics
The path of a maverick and through rap, you track the half of it
Designated with asterisks, the last hall of famer
Inducted before the regulations changed in your favor
I aint mad atcha – a waste of anger to hate ya
Save my words to determine the fate of the nomenclature
Who's sayin' preservation's makin' it stagnate advancement?
State your place and I'mma wait for your answer
They prolly just hope to aggravate the populous
I tabulate the coiffeurs when the pull make 'em gravitate
Everything gets resolved I attend [to]
Either fiend or friend – we gon' bring y'all in
The kid dream in the drawl of his kin
What I seen appall men – time to bring y'all in
Intervene, my involvement depends
On the steam awe lends – enough to bring y'all in
I felt the sting when swallowin' the gin
Holla "clean I been" after we bring y'all in
Assault the sire, y'all admire my moxie
Some aligned with the code of the streets by proxy
Knockin' me for constancy I be within my element
Though all you ever held and dealt was leant from a twelve-inch
The blend's off – pitch it right, livin' like a bitch of my mentors?
When vinyl's all you're spinnin' on Crenshaw
Sense flawed and faulty, your censure tawdry
I alike derived my philosophy from who taught me, let 'em talk now
Impossible shot from a broken arrow
Sun lay over death, you left prints on the tarot
I'll show you how to tow the harrow over the tract
It's slow-going with all the work my barrow packs
Skirt past, cursin' at us claiming the lanes are for these
I pay no mind to idle talk, y'all a mockery of speed
I pace the beat patiently, as long as it takes
Acquiesce to the greatest escape (here we go)
To every being ever called up to spend
Just a blink 'fore it ends – we gon' bring y'all in
A couple cling to the wall they defend
Either sink or swim – we gon' bring y'all in
Baby string can't haul them gems
You trynna ring all ten? Time to bring y'all in
I turn a king to a thrall of the pen
And what the team scrawl then is about to bring y'all in
Everything gets resolved I attend [to]
Either fiend or friend – we gon' bring y'all in
The kid dream in the drawl of his kin
What I seen appall men – time to bring y'all in
Intervene, my involvement depends
On the steam awe lends – enough to bring y'all in
I felt the sting when swallowin' the gin
Holla "clean I been" after we bring y'all in
