lyrics
I had a plethora of unreleased diagrams
I simply shreded, instead, trusting the writing hand
Salute the effort, I’m steady just looting letters
To arrange, like a line of cocaine, in this endeavour
Look, gotta perpetuate the knowledge for the masses
My ancestors were survivors of the middle passage
Never forget the chains, whips, rape, and lashes
Without direct acknowledgement we never getting past it
And though tomorrow ain’t known, and isn’t fixed
Continue writing poems, to shown em I’m still equipped
With that one fire, simply a behemoth with the wit
Dismember beats, Kils, is getting squemish with the mix
Every verse, solution looking for a problem
Continue digging this hole without a bottom
I got about, four close bonds, just call me Carbon
Rap sergeant, telling my verse, get to marching
Within the game, where fame, appears ephemeral
Too many rules, you’ll lose, if you don’t bend a few
Hard coded within my DNA’s Matrix
A sequence of illness you can’t cure, I stay sick
Don’t drive an A6, I ambulate in ASICS
You know the name, the bard of basics, starting 86
The craftsmanship of the word structure it galvanize
Some to heart, still others perhaps to change a life
They hear another guy who struggling to stay alive
With every fiber of self, rejecting his demise
Bull in the China shop, I’m bullying the rhymes a lot
Penning that, firing squad album, the final shot
Now this the overture, I hope that you were waiting for
Ready for war, carving a katana from an oar
The pithy monograph I pen amongst a drained carafe
Will get you jumping like needles on Trump’s polygraph
So, I’d like to introduce to ya’ll on my behalf
The subtle use of words to slowly raise your themostat
And turn the whispers and the murmers back to nerdy rap
The technocrat, with the coup d’etat, on music who you back
I simply shreded, instead, trusting the writing hand
Salute the effort, I’m steady just looting letters
To arrange, like a line of cocaine, in this endeavour
Look, gotta perpetuate the knowledge for the masses
My ancestors were survivors of the middle passage
Never forget the chains, whips, rape, and lashes
Without direct acknowledgement we never getting past it
And though tomorrow ain’t known, and isn’t fixed
Continue writing poems, to shown em I’m still equipped
With that one fire, simply a behemoth with the wit
Dismember beats, Kils, is getting squemish with the mix
Every verse, solution looking for a problem
Continue digging this hole without a bottom
I got about, four close bonds, just call me Carbon
Rap sergeant, telling my verse, get to marching
Within the game, where fame, appears ephemeral
Too many rules, you’ll lose, if you don’t bend a few
Hard coded within my DNA’s Matrix
A sequence of illness you can’t cure, I stay sick
Don’t drive an A6, I ambulate in ASICS
You know the name, the bard of basics, starting 86
The craftsmanship of the word structure it galvanize
Some to heart, still others perhaps to change a life
