[Verse 1]
Gold rope
Green robe
Bare feet on the ramp, I glow
Whole crowd hush when the sage walk slow
Tattooed rune on my right shoulder
Seen ten queens fall, I got colder
Read palms, read plans, read scripts
See fear twitch at the edge of your lips
[Chorus]
I’m the emerald rope sage (sage)
Turn the titantron into a page
Every step I take, that’s fate
Every slap I land, that’s fate
You want smoke in the ring? that’s rage
But I speak in the tongue of an age
You just shout, I engrave
Bow down to the emerald rope sage (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Opp in the mask, but I see her doubt
Hear her heart jump louder than the crowd
Bell ring once, then the mind goes blank
Mine don’t, I’m three moves up the rank
Whisper word, make the blood run chill
Pressure points, I don’t need brute will
Suplex clean, then I sit cross-legged
Chant while her whole crew panic
[Bridge]
[Beat switches to bossa groove]
Slow hips by the ropes, I sway (ooh)
Soft voice, but I don’t play
Ask the stars who runs this stage
Every sign spell “sage,” every sign spell “sage”
[Chorus]
I’m the emerald rope sage (sage)
Turn the titantron into a page
Every step I take, that’s fate
Every slap I land, that’s fate
You want smoke in the ring? that’s rage
But I speak in the tongue of an age
You just shout, I engrave
Bow down to the emerald rope sage (hey)
