[intro]
Its big Emvee, The Cruf master, the lyrical genius
[Verse 1]
I'm on a whole 'nother level, these Nighas is out of they league These Nighas ain't out rappin lme You bitches ain't better than me
You nighas don't count and these nighas can't count, l am not the one, two, or the three
You nighas look up to me
You said you look up to him, but really you look up to me
So | share some powerful words I heard when listenin' ciphers (And you knew power!)
Was from the brokest neighborhood, but you can get a fix
Coulda easily been hittin' that instead of pitchin' this (Amen)
I know this tzar named himself Scar cause he was sick of tricks
The cycle, we'd have cracked it if girls was attracted to quickest wits Many nights dingy, life was stingy with the jubilance
Way the powers made it hard to make a dollar had us too incensed
Know what was crazy, only saw a baby as a new expense
This place is the worst, gave insatiable thirst, nothin' you could do to quench When in doubt, flew to my pursuit, stumbled on the first few attempts
We know where life begins, but here, gettin' ends is when it do commence Gettin' ends is when it do commence
Like your rappin' blackened, just happened to spice it up on occasion From where good is sus, it was too rough of behavin'
As if I ain't bleed enough, this is another abrasion
Now just spreadin' wisdom with hopes you suffer contagion (Amen!)
Hopes that you suffer contagion
I did it for my people, not the amens (Amen!)
Amen
I did it for my people, not the amens Hit a stride, I'd be satisfied when my day ends
Amen, amen
Dedicate my life to studying, every lesson, I share it
When one of my tribe died, was only debt to inherit (that's all)
Ain't no frontin' in my background You listen to lies, no surprise you despise how facts sound
When hungry, used to cook it up 'til they cracked down
In the house, I'm always takin' it, I'm from that town (Brooklyn)
(You find these words)
[hook]
All them years couldn't shine
It's our time, let's eat
All them years couldn't shine
It's our time, let's eat
Let's eat
(It's our time, let's eat, where you was at?)
(Repeat x2)
Damn, I don't hear a strand of wisdom It's smart what they bark ain't art, that's vandalism
The pre-gun lands, we brung hands as ammunition
I plan my death before I plan submission
Can't exchange man condition but one fan sufficient
Must assist, get a swift for the shift band to listen
Some rights, Lord, you gotta fight for it, you can't petition
Was large, you see, his autobiography advance edition, uh (Advance edition)
Born where it's all abandoned, I saw famine
With grace, faced the firing squad, it's all canon
[hook]
(Repeat x3)
you supposed to get past that
If never won, run every one like it's the last lap
Handin' ends to family and friends, never expecting that cash back When you dorm with roaches, every day long as the solstice
I said parents ain't have no bread, I was born in ketosis Always precocious, never quarreled with randoms, was drawing with focus.
