| [00:03.041] |
Yes |
| [00:06.752] |
Every day somebody ask me where all the real MC's is at? |
| [00:10.254] |
They underground |
| [00:12.210] |
There's mad talented cats underground with that raw shit |
| [00:16.390] |
Yaknowwhat'msayin? Bringin them raw skills |
| [00:18.149] |
YaknowwhatI'm sayin? |
| [00:19.234] |
Really, to me |
| [00:21.592] |
|
| [00:22.061] |
It's a Small Wonder, like Vicki, why I'm picky |
| [00:24.090] |
These niggas suck like hickies |
| [00:25.193] |
And still get to slip they shit in like Mickies |
| [00:26.781] |
I'm sick of the hater-players, bring on the regulators |
| [00:29.220] |
With the flavors like a farm team ****ing with the majors |
| [00:31.826] |
Like a river how I run through it, I do it so cold |
| [00:34.240] |
Freezin up your bodily fluids, your style is old |
| [00:36.659] |
You runnin your mouth, but don't really know what you be talkin about |
| [00:39.127] |
You should retire, get that complimentary watch, be out! |
| [00:41.567] |
Yo, with the quickness, so swift you miss this lyrical fitness |
| [00:44.384] |
Now get this, these emcees wanna test me like litmus, bear witness |
| [00:47.743] |
I'm like shot clocks, interstate cops, and blood clots |
| [00:50.024] |
My point is, your flow gets stoped! |
| [00:51.782] |
By all means, you need more practice, take that ass home |
| [00:54.390] |
Everybody lookin at you, fish tank syndrome |
| [00:56.813] |
In full effect, I stay catchin lyrical rep |
| [00:59.067] |
And keep it blacker than the back of your neck |
| [01:01.254] |
What you expect, emcees hollerin |
| [01:02.893] |
Cause we developin the followin |
| [01:04.539] |
Gettin played like stone love tapes and dollar vans |
| [01:06.692] |
Order reverse your universe so your demise is first |
| [01:09.244] |
Before your rise it gets worse |
| [01:10.512] |
You need a night nurse like Gregory |
| [01:12.035] |
Beggin me - stop it hurts! - is what you say to me |
| [01:14.070] |
Like that's supposed to mean somethin? |
| [01:15.259] |
You the one I seen frontin in the club |
| [01:16.662] |
Your act I don't buy it, I got the dub |
| [01:18.564] |
Come on everybody, come on just show your love |
| [01:21.188] |
Come on everybody, come on just show your love |
| [01:23.850] |
Come on everybody, come on just show your love |
| [01:26.247] |
Come on everybody, come on just show your love |
| [01:28.847] |
Come on everybody, come on just show your love |
| [01:31.434] |
|
| [01:32.123] |
Visions occupy my synaptic space |
| [01:34.275] |
Command and shape, to illustrate my mind's landscape |
| [01:36.780] |
The tall grass, the low plains, the mountanous ridges |
| [01:39.280] |
Thickets among the forests, rivers beneath the bridges |
| [01:41.809] |
Presence of hilltops, lit up with tree tops |
| [01:44.440] |
Eavesdrop; and hear the incline of sunshine, nine |
| [01:46.999] |
Stones in orbit, refuse to forfeit |
| [01:49.244] |
They all form a cipher, and they came to absorb it |
| [01:51.957] |
I follow suit, and face it, embrace it |
| [01:54.530] |
Shinin bright, but still I'm careful not to waste it |
| [01:56.828] |
Destined to rise, because I'm basement adjacent |
| [01:59.545] |
Spirit is still so just chill and be patient |
| [02:02.017] |
Some heads approach like I'm the one to base with |
| [02:04.536] |
Clowns about to scream and shout but don't say shh... |
| [02:07.299] |
I ain't your student so I ain't to be tested |
| [02:09.531] |
I'm majestic, I represent my strength without effort |
| [02:11.879] |
My, method is unorthodox, but of course it rocks |
| [02:14.303] |
My serious synopsis will drop kick, my topics |
| [02:17.010] |
Run the gauntlets and galvanize the audience |
| [02:19.367] |
I must represent, I don't come off with no corniness |
| [02:21.988] |
It's all luminary, despite commentary |
| [02:24.461] |
Some people say, Mos how you get so? |
| [02:26.577] |
My sign will make you jump around like calypso |
| [02:29.046] |
And, murmur to yourself like a schizo |
| [02:31.612] |
There ain't no bottom on the ??? |
| [02:33.759] |
|
| [02:34.491] |
Come on |
| [02:36.373] |
Here we go, Blackstar, hop on the Blackstar line |
| [02:38.837] |
We bout to take y'all home |
| [02:40.404] |
YaknowwhatImean? Here we go |
| [02:41.664] |
|
| [02:41.901] |
We got all markets on lock |
| [02:43.001] |
From meat to stock |
| [02:44.194] |
Black Star, what? Throwin like Kid Rock in bars |
| [02:46.587] |
Men flock to where we are, cause its the place to be |
| [02:49.031] |
I grab my paint, jump on stage and deface emcees |
| [02:51.593] |
We sell our souls like Spawn and come for the throne I sit upon |
| [02:54.129] |
Freestyle or written songs, shit we can get it on! |
| [02:56.643] |
Going back and forth, forth and back, all across the track |
| [02:59.089] |
Passin the mic's like quarterbacks |
| [03:00.348] |
Of course its phat, get off of that! |
| [03:01.955] |
Reverse psychology got em scared to say when shit is whack |
| [03:04.168] |
Out of fear of being called a hater, imagine that! |
| [03:06.950] |
We ain't havin that reachin past the star status that you grabbin at |
| [03:09.589] |
My battle raps blast your ass back to your natural habitat |
| [03:11.819] |
So floss, cause what it costs ain't worth it to me |
| [03:14.132] |
Cause I'm the one these Spice Girl emcees Wannabe |
| [03:17.081] |
But they can't, ain't no points for effort, so why bother? |
| [03:19.493] |
Cause your girl calls my name out like Clarence Carter |
| [03:21.763] |
Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter! |
| [03:22.930] |
(I be strokin, that's what I be doin) |
| [03:23.693] |
Aiyyo, as we rock harder |
| [03:24.624] |
And always drop the bona-fide head nodders |
| [03:26.920] |
Aiyyo, later for the hater-players |
| [03:28.533] |
Yo-yo, yo-yo, later for these hater-players |
| [03:31.371] |
|
| [03:43.086] |
Blackstar keeps shining |
