Syncopated rhymes / systematic lines
I rap for a cause / some consider it a crime
Exact with my timing / waited for my findings
Picked up a pen / so I could juggle me some rhyming
Wine and fine dining / that just aint me
Catch me at the triton / with an mpc
Making melodies / that bring knocking to your knees
Drums that will tickle your funny bone some
I’m a rapping trapeze / 16 bars with such ease
No net but I bet you believe in these
I was twisted like a bow-tie / mask like shy-guy
Delivered by the most high / old self bye bye
Image I’m set free / life - open pantry
Never a mystery/ its done / its history
Let me confide / No more Jekyll and Hyde
Not like a sci-fi / real life / bona fide
Legit when you hear this / Statik on da hit list
Sorry if you missed this / but Hip-Hop we fixed it
Poetik on the rhyme scheme / Wax on the crime scene
Hip-Hop is dead, well consider this an IV
Just high five me please help revive me
Ear to the radio – brain poison Ivey
Bring back the music that has something to say
Songs that go forever is a must for today
Hey!!...I thought I told you how I do
If it’s not 100 percent / then its really not you
And if its really not you / then I am here to take stand
Holla back- its you’re your boy-here we go-let it jam
