[03:44.36][02:33.58][01:22.74][00:11.56] They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game
[03:47.32][02:36.56][01:25.79][00:15.08] A heart full of glory and a fist of pain
[03:50.01][02:39.04][01:28.38][00:17.60] A couple of battle scars but shit's the same
[03:52.53][02:41.65][01:30.95][00:20.20] Are you not entertained
[03:55.08][02:44.29][01:33.61][00:22.85] So all the onlookers and the bystanders
[03:57.46][02:46.66][01:36.00][00:25.23] Wait til intermission, run buy your camera
[03:59.94][02:49.16][01:38.46][00:27.68] Record the moment, cause it'll be platinum
[04:02.48][02:51.79][01:41.06][00:30.35] And you could say you seen Common rock the stadium
[00:33.08] I was told by a wise old to come from the heart
[00:35.52] Though I might've did The Light, I don't run from the dark
[00:37.93] The dark knight to spark mics, and start fights
[00:40.45] The warrior archetype like Kimbo Slice
[00:42.93] It's strength in the beard, am I loved or feared
[00:45.45] A beast amongst boys like Paul I'm revered
[00:47.83] Vroof, vroof vroof vroof vroof Vroof vroof well
[00:50.71] Like Jacob Jewel, I keep clientele
[00:53.02] You frail on the mic like you might break a nail
[00:55.52] I might smoke a joint but I won't take the L
[00:58.10] I knew a fat girl who broke the scale
[01:00.53] Still touched down cause I was off Artell
[01:03.13] Had dreams of breaking Mike Vick out of jail
[01:05.59] Took the underground rail to the end that failed
[01:08.33] I rebel, NYSL
[01:10.81] Here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandela
[03:42.39][03:39.80][03:37.34][03:35.37][02:31.62][02:28.92][02:26.56][02:24.11][01:20.79][01:18.29][01:15.81][01:13.38] nothing you could do
[01:43.83] My words is the sword, my skill is the shield
[01:46.12] My life is the style I stay dressed to kill
[01:48.62] A legend like Will Smith with the steel
[01:51.09] I could save the world when shit get for real
[01:53.50] Skinny George Foreman, all in your grill
[01:56.17] My rhyme style is blind, it's all in the feel
[01:58.64] Touch it and watch the blood fall with the steel
[02:01.29] The weak raps you wrote you could call that your will
[02:03.72] My drive VROOM is how I stay the livest
[02:06.37] Your guys got you gassed, my flow is a hybrid
[02:08.75] Crashed I survived it, gashes over eyelids
[02:11.31] You easy to take out cause you hot garbage
[02:13.84] I'm amped like wattage, the truth nigga honest
[02:16.40] Any moment opponents drop out like college
[02:18.86] Kneel and pay homage to the rap Ziggy Stardust
[02:21.52] Stadium hands in the air fists balled up
[02:54.48] Feet in the dirt, blood on the shirt
[02:56.91] Scars over bars, symbols of the work
[02:59.45] Tight clothes the armor, center of the drama
[03:02.00] Defeat your whole army like this is Sparta
[03:04.55] So don't violate or you'll get violated
[03:06.97] Some of you model bitches is so overrated
[03:09.45] Don't mean to underrate it but damn it I made it
[03:12.02] In the water I waded on the corner I painted
[03:14.59] Draw blood like we related
[03:16.31] MCs get de-decapitated
[03:18.46] Syncopated is the style that I fight with, write with
[03:22.15] Mr. Excitement, change your face up like a white chick
[03:24.63] Then light shit up like a dread with the herbs
[03:27.22] Get sex in the city and head in the burbs
[03:29.76] These are the words of a radical
[03:32.16] The crowd applaud, I'm bowed, I'm proud
[03:34.16] To be the gladiator
