Messianic fan favorite champagne glasses
Hors d’œuvres gorgeous asses that curve, opposite of flat earth
Nat Turner fast learner ass, the perfect cast
Denzel and Tom Hanks, I draw blanks like Birken bags
I spark the birth of that Renaissance lexicon
Your ex is on my dick, disrespectful shit the legend on
I try to stay righteous but the devil plans different
I wanna tap I can’t stand kissing, foul man wisdom
Taliban chilling, calesthenics in the kitchen
My style aesthetics better than an artist best vision
Wait till the karma kicks it, I’ll win it all
Nobody better than the legend, when the pen is involved
Break up the Peking order
Won the game by the end of the second quarter
The best scorer fucked around and made the lesson shorter
We don’t respect informers intercept your offers
Interject myself in the convo like a veteran lawyers
You know what it is
Princely what I kick, made me instantly rich
The game hypocrite these fake Niggas dissing me since
We used to be cracking jokes, now you buying crack to smoke
You used to be macking hoes find yourself tricking to poke
I guess that’s what’s you get, for being an asshole I suppose
That warm frienship just fizzled, now the vibes is cold
I heard they caught you panhandling off a styrofoam
You should have voted for bernie he would have found you a home
Was never humble when you could have been
You put ya foot up in mouth of what potentially you could have been.
Thinking for the short term, the marathon couldn’t win
You eating crumbs… I'm blazing these beats like sugar binge
Your whole persona is cringe, I’m luka Doncic with the rock
It’s not even a conscious thing when I launch a shot
It’s sad, they caught shopping your demo in a pawn shop
Stuck in 90s alone and broke thinking your song's hot…. I really heard that…

This for my counterparts, the counter culture art
Projecting like cannon ball, doing dirt when the cameras off
Standing tall still, amidst the crisis and drama
Cause life in bondage ain’t the type of life that fit my persona
A man of honor, with words that manifest nirvana
Mamba mentality, secret lunches with the black Madonna
Thinking bout the next move I might make
I never telegraph cause motherfucker might hate
For right price I might bless you on a tight schedule
Fuck if I might offend you I’m exploiting my potential
So be thankful for the hand I extend you
Cause that same hand can wield the instrument that’ll end you
This is modus operandi I’m focus on the franchise
These snakes gonna switch, still the winner by a landslide
If they wanna change side fine..you can die
By the same gun you holding I get emboldened
When it’s game time
You wanna play let’s play
Men get held accountable for what they say
You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay
You wanna play let’s play
Men get held accountable for what they say
You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay
Ever been in a situation that smell fishy?
Hit a show grimy niggas all smiles and well wishy
Shaking with a. fish hand, a wishy washy stance
My Washington days, had me educated to scams
It be the ones that’s closest to you that’ll put a toast to you
Gotta stay stoic while the boiling the blood is flowing through you
The who demeanor will clue you, if they scheming to make a move
Suggest you get y’a ass up out of there, eliminate the ruse
Innate jewels, I don’t make the rules, I just adapt to em
Rarely see me post moves, Pat Ewing
I might a block a bitch , player coach popovich
Corny motherfucker blushing off a compliment
The voice of god I call the shots like Optimus
My record column looking positive like optimist
You popping shit with ya name floating in documents
Get crossed out quick like items on my shopping list
You wanna play let’s play
Men get held accountable for what they say
You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay
You wanna play let’s play
Men get held accountable for what they say
You made y’a bed yea that’s where you gonna lay

Peep the new specs seven terabytes on deck
Shorty walking like she got paradise on her breast
Hairstyle fresh, but yo peep I’m out I gotta jet
Next thing you know, same night she sliding in my bed
Early bird spesh 38 in the flesh
Ya face says to me, you never seen the pearly gates yet
I act fake impressed, might even tell ‘em break a leg
Based on my track record nobody can tell me I ain’t the best
Rather say it on wax then Twitter, I’m the inventor
Who delivers, through the rigors of life without a hick up
How you stack up? Can barely get y’a act together
Turn around ask if we can do a track together
Uh huh Your timing wasn’t real you was trying to find a deal
While I was stacking up a mountain that’s amounting to a mil
I was drowning out the field, just trying out my gills
No chill no pity for the lames shouting out the real
All the DJs and MCs
Mogadishu
You can’t leave Po the game needs you
These dues you gotta pay, up until the pain feeds you
It ain’t cheap it ain’t what you make it’s what you keep
I gave you game free for years cause I rather you eat
Rather unique shouting to Sosa we looking down on mediocre
Send a meteor shower on the culture
Fly shogun, the coefficient at its limit
With ya corny gimmick fishing for a blip of my attention
These rhymes got expensive… don’t suspend your sense of logic
Managed to mix ignorance and intelligence in the product
That game ain’t loyal, you cucks is flame broiled
Grease ball tendencies came from the same oil
Straight forwards type approach it’s the life of Po
Flights to go
Where to?
I’d bet you’d like to know
I draw it nicely, you play in ya car nightly
The bronze knight known to put it on like Ron Isley
On wifey

Smack out y’a sneaker dusting every feature
S Dutton when I’m barking I’m a glutton for the ether
They talking but when I walk in the room nothing but crickets
I cuffing the bag, smoke yall, then puffing a pack
Call a bluff out, see many tough guys get duffed out
And get touched by the palm of god, knocked the fuck out
Drink Paul Masson to calm the adrenaline surge
It’s Hell on earth, over here even the devils get burned
Thought I was done but the gun butt em thought he was smart
These dumb dumb traveled from his armpit to his heart
One to the head, his conscious dripping down on his arm
Reduced to red meat, time to ship him off of the farm
Ya soul out of here, body disconnected from life
Mom crying unplugging you from an electric device
Reality accepted, objective complete
Thats fait warning, for anybody checking for me
Yo the legend
You never heard of such murder suspect in the scene
The burner bust, dead bodies turn up on the beach
Make u sea sick my face alone overwhelm the precinct
Put ya mans face on it help you sell the T shirt
Social work help get the community clean
Adapted to the pandemic my immunity leans
My EKG, looking like a peak KG
You can just blame God I play the cards the gave me
Criminal smooth alike MJ and JB
Say something, I’m known to break something like AD
My brain is reptile you got chest out? Here’s a projectile
The hotel named valley o death, all of em check out
Out to get a rep like an outcast stepchild
Like my money quiet but make sure you write the check loud
You got the drop? I’m a verify whether it checks out,
Scan his DNA on the wall, the final check out

Macedonia, hash tag Napoleon
Fast track my goals plus mad cash to blow
Plus all these rappers get exposed
Politicians get it too
I'm synonymous to revenue
A prophet who the devil knew
Knock it you should never do
It shocked em when they read the news
The Legend is impeccable
Eating berries and vegetables
Totally delectable
Successful still accessible
You cats is unelectable
Not doing what I’m expecting to
Push it to the limit farther
Slapping up your business partner
Trade like I invented barter
Rap like I’m an instant martyr
Minute later in Atlanta missed the Marta
The jig is up you take up with mister carter
Both my fist a hit your gut
Press ya luck, I’m pharaoh of Egyptian nature
Master scientist for which, I have a massive inclination
Words in syncopation, known to cure the sickest patient
The biggest bag getter I secure the shit you pay in

Avirex Days
02:02
|

Apex predatory threats from the Avirex days
Assessing situations incorrectly when you stressed days
Ill advised words, they tried to minimize the worth
Ain’t gonna lie it gave me strength my enterprise was birthed
Solicited by promiscuous chicks
Who act duplicitous who try to shoot their shot
Still they miss the kid
My life mysterious, unknown my whereabouts
I move in silence, my albums only thing you hear about
I don’t care about, the latest trend or the way you spend
Raised in the murder capitol amongst the bravest men
Got it from the dirt at the juncture where the pavement ends
Guess the pressure in the junction of Flatbush made a gem
I made amends with the mistakes of the past
The pace was fast snakes’ll try to make a move for your stash
With Giallo cooked a new batch represent a new class
They fucked around and got blew passed, I guess it’s too bad
Bam Bam
Once upon time in China, a child was born
He practiced martial arts to the crack of fucking dawn
His moms was working on a farm he only knew his dad was gone
Getting out the village was the mission he was on
His teacher was a perv inappropriately touched him
Picked a sword up right from the floor and he cut him
Blood gushing on the yoga mat took a shower
Bought a bus ticket dipped out of town in half an hour
He in Shanghai, staring at the skyscrapers
Looking for odd jobs for any money he was scrape up
Working at a cigars lounge sweeping up the ashes
Late night would sneak up in the basement to practice
Underground Fight Club battles to the death
Police looking the murderer just adding to the stress
At the junkyard he rocked an Avirex he found laying
Stress travels all across the world in rotation

Automatically my presence felt we all gravity
I make mistakes grammatically but they get it, they adapt to me
Cooler than James Webb some use us just to gain cred
I see it from a mile away I play it like I'm brain dead
My slang fire, break it down to ya like Wayne Dyer
Trynna take the high road kid, by lifting the lane higher
I'm a loose canon Bruce banner like
My influence spanning a lifetime me and my fam alike
Thats Nejma Nefertiti, known each other for ages
While they be dishing ice cubes, we be moving glaciers
And that's gracious and beautiful like, mountains in Appalachia
I like to paint it vivid for people with aphantasia
Tax evasion machinations stacks in mattress in the basement
Looking back at where we started at smiling in amazement
We feed what they craving that organically developed
It's a family affair can show you better than I can tell it
This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD
Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z
Name another duo like us, you'll never find
Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind
This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD
Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z
Name another duo like us, you'll never find
Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind
I'm multi universe the vastness flow blessed with extreme exactness
Low tech with a genius rapper
Both step on the beat it's a classic
Problematic for the cookie cutter culture we not gon have it
Got our tongues out like Jordan
Imagination can be so graphic
Like death staring you in the face you could see yourself in a casket
So many facets put hours in I practice off the axis
Some call it madness I call it my vivid dreams in action
They give up freedom for convenience fiends for satisfaction
That short term high repeated bleeding all over the masses
Disastrous if you don't want the truth to the question don't ask it
This the last kiss goodbye before I disappear into the blackness
Explosive like climactic ferocious and quite attractive
The Dopeness is type massive they open and eye catching
Outspoken divine habits they smoking flying ashes
Baroqueness fresh and elaborate and focused
Higher than average
Provoke shit I am a savage you know this timeless we magic
This that Nas and AZ Steph Curry and KD
Jadakiss and Styles P Sauce Money and Jay Z
Name another duo like us, you'll never find
Some'll settle for some cheap imitations but never mind

Proud like an Algerian Man
The bright brilliant
Barbarian I fight like an Nigerian can
Carrying out my plans, but not divulging my goals
Now they screaming cancel-culture, when you calling out folks
Bunch of hoax, ending disgraceful like Hulk Hogan
Stuck ya nose inside my business now you nose broken
I’m saying how to try compare dirt to a flame
Nothing lit be popping up when they be searching ya name
How you go from surfing a lane to now searching a vein
These black market pharmaceuticals is hurting your brain
Took a step back, changed the way I interpret the game
Went through the wringer, it’s impossible to leave perfectly sane
I brainstorm to find a way toward what I aim for
Channel all the hurt cause I could never switch the pain off
Until it pay off, knock on wood like the play-offs
Push off for some daylight, so I can get my J off
Ya squad weak I may erase y’all from history
Jordan vs Utah deface y’all for dissing me
Oliver Galactus, spread knowledge over the atlas
They get engagement from some robots, my followers is active
Increase my money while I sleep, keep dollars in the mattress
Opps mentioning my name feels like they swallowing a cactus
Got you chocking on blood for saying Pharaohgamo syllables
Principle richer under god indivisible

Spoils of War

Survival equipped me not to never be short on ideas
When its time to celebrate
Me and my boys we know to buy beers
We know the criteria by this time our rivals know to cry tears
And time it flies when you’re fearless
We don’t notice the years
We whoring ourselves for this shit, it’s the oldest career
We put our hopes there and when it hits
We tell jokes and we cheer
We switch chairs like a musical, life is not a musical
When you hear the music you better move
When the time is suitable
Before they put you in a suit
And escort you to your own funeral
I've been supplying the game with pressure
And that zone is beautiful
No love lost for anybody who did me wrong
I'm just advancing thru the levels that’s the type of shit I’m on
Embody the drip I got on like it’s seeping through my pores
With a conscious so clear huh I can be sleeping through a war
So if you complain about the game do us all a favor a exit
You can be a fan from the sideline, while you watch us resurrect it
These scar beautiful
I wear em proudly on my skin
Good deeds a rebalance the scale
Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins
These scar beautiful
I wear em proudly on my skin
Good deeds a rebalance the scale
Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins
How outsmart someone trynna outsmart you?
You swimming with sharks, snakes trynna out shark you
You sitting there shocked thinking you was friends from the start
Thought you was Sharp over estimated your role in the part
Now you sore cause you lost drinking soy boy sauce
Thinking, how I paid the cost? And I’m still not a boss
The system ain’t fair dumb bitch is you vision impaired?
Is it ambition in ya heart or you just living in fear?
Some niggas live in Wonderland thinking it’s sweet
Stuck in a desert in quicksand shifting they feet
Staring at all this chicken wishing they eat
The zero sum game, ain’t enough fish in the creek
Preach, I could have been a pastor at church
An old dirty bastard, watch the master at work
Freedom from what? Is there’s really a choice on this earth?
You playing for the oppressor that’s a spoiler alert
These scar beautiful
I wear em proudly on my skin
Good deeds a rebalance the scale
Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins
These scar beautiful
I wear em proudly on my skin
Good deeds a rebalance the scale
Uh huh nah we don’t count the sins

As my habitat changes to passive ass neighbors
I got more time to contemplate
What’ll make my raps famous
Tapping my metabolism, conscious of my mortality
Time is ticking on the clock
Pointless to move backwardly
Enemies were neutralized
Removed the beef out of my diet
Ran up the accolades in my bio
Blocked bad vibes like Adebayo
This whole world is biased, it’s hard to get fair shake
If u ain’t paying people off, it’s hard to get a fair break
Criticized for what I dare say
Even though it’s blatant truth
They rather buy a fantasy and entertain
Rather than slay the goose
We play the game we choose
My camouflage can never blend in
If I notice shit is one sided I rather end the friendship
Had a dirty slate, so I cleansed it
Money I spent it
With my instinct
I live it, your Instagram stories is scripted
Not authentic that’s why I skipped it
They selling us a gimmick
I ain’t tripping shut the fuck up
You can only learn when you listen
Disrespect is only tolerated in small doses
I'm older now but if you push the envelope
I’ll have to ghost y’a
It be your friends that try to use you
More than any stranger
And take avantage of ya kindness
That devilish behavior
Only takes two to disagree don’t need a doctorate degree
To spot hypocrisy shit is obsolete just like monogamy
I hear the gossip, the word always gets back to me
No longer shocked cause my conscious anchored to reality
Live happily ok... Whatever you say
Once you show your vices
They’ll provide you with whatever you crave
So what’s you poison? Sex drugs, alcohol or power?
They’ll condense all your needs and grind it in a powder
That’s why I try to focus my lens wider
Cause when the pressure hits
Most of them will clam up like a chowder
And it’s Chow, that’s bye bye in Italian
Motherfuckers lose they mind
Slide up in the asylum

The Finest Things

Padded cashmere walls, atmosphere warm
Last year was sickness, this year I bring the cure
The world out there is bigger, you heard em say it’s yours
Got myself out of a shithole my struggle same as yours
Abnormal humans, hormones is moving
My scorecard is loco so let’s forgo the rumors
Slow roast the meal, slow mo maneuvers
Morse code reveals no need to showboat to students
Ocean is Indian fishing trips with pops
Feels like so long ago, and im missing a lot
Caught a big fish, it fed the family for days
Time destroys everything happiness is erased
Creating other moments processing it like grow ups
We ain’t just listened we implemented what they showed us
Surviving despite the odds where they advocate death
The mind and soul well protected like Fabrege eggs
From now to forseeable the future …
Living proof I’m a speak that truth
Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce
From now to forseeable the future …
Living proof I’m a speak that truth
Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce
Flowers for the winners we get flowers in the winter
Under the Aurora Borealis where the clouds shimmer
I don’t clout chase, I just lounge at the lake
Was told they found the fountain of youth
From the sound of my face
I sow seeds to try to find peace but it’s hard
Introduced to the game, got knee deep in the part
Since the pandemic hit, people leaving they jobs
Sparks hit em like they got an epiphany from a god
The truth ain’t far, often right under your nose
Designer geared up still looking silly under ya clothes
I'm saying, ain’t no lying when the souls naked
I don’t expect nothing back when I bestow favors
I created space
Relaxing in my own oasis a tab of acid
Crafted my own mosaic
And it gets no more sacred
Then when you savor your fruits, amazing jewels
From now to forseeable the future …
Living proof I’m a speak that truth
Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce
From now to forseeable the future …
Living proof I’m a speak that truth
Everything that’s not serving me will get the deuce

The means justify the ends,
Used to dream of driving of benzes
The road to the top leads to beef
Drama ruins friendships
Success is the incentive, I ain’t invent the system
Survival of the fittest
Fuck the bullshit we intend to win it
Alcoholic binges, all events is an aventure
Might not remember I apologize if I offend ya
Speak with the proper tenor, high percentage shooter
Whether 5 percenter Buddhist Muslim
Punching the air like Cuba Goodin
In that movie scene, scrolling through some Sufi memes
And show and prove on every new release
Married to the streets
Cherry pick through beats watching every flick
Health is everything the city noise and stress is deafening
Still we wrestle with, what we need and how to get it
Whether to push or let it go and
Not sweat it like a plyometric
Where’s the lie?
Feel like everybody vying for my attention
We went from paying together to buying seperate
In this world we live in
Stress be what be aging you fastest chasing stacks backwards
The snakes and backstabbers
Smoke and mirrors like the scene in Last Dragon
I'm making moves for the bag spazzing
On wax…I'm known for breaking postures like back spasms
Sometimes I need to fall back, then I get right back at it
How many cats have been gassed?
Turn around and caught lacking
Feel like I’m speaking pig latin, motherfuckers don’t get it
Building up my arsenal to back me like my home British
I don’t even know when I’m stressed I grind in autopilot
Unity’s rare in this game motherfuckers all divided
I sowed seeds throughout the spring and my trees sprouted
Hit a dead end rerouted even squeezed a G out it
Tension headaches clenching
My jaw at night mental head space
Is dense, I had to drop the dead weight, to get to the check mate
More money mo problems when it’s all set and done
I rather be flooded with funds than to have none
On this planet earth
