Song | Dark Knights ft. Wale (Prod. by E.Jones) |
Artist | Rapsody |
Album | She Got Game |
[Verse 1: Rapsody] | |
Dark nights been cold like night veins | |
Serve *****s chills, I'm ill like Mike Caine | |
Express and I stress the best, I'm insane | |
To these ******* like Miranda, I'm lyrically Bruce Wayne | |
Pain I felt it and belted it out in sorrow | |
Broke days, way too embarrassed to ask to borrow | |
A dollar for a quarter a gallon of gas tomorrow | |
Struggles by the car load had me lower than Carlos | |
Borders we sorta ignore 'em like ***** a lock yo | |
No plan drawn still stone cold, a Picasso | |
Nothing quite impossible, something similar to Pac though | |
Young poet, we know it, sow it so it'll grow blow | |
Where the wind take me, money'll never make me | |
No matter where I go, so money'll never break me | |
Though I been broke like pieces of soap pasted | |
To cleanse my soul bands like grams we raising | |
Reaching for better, it's whatever I'm Kevin Bacon | |
X men out that want none a part of my making why | |
Bane ain't a match for this emcee | |
And Dark Knight bat wings need a M3 | |
All y'all drool for Ra's al Ghul protégé | |
I've been cold as Jay on "3 Kings" ***** get schooled | |
I am the, 5'3" Morgan free-flow genius | |
Underground killer like Bane whole team is | |
They couldn't cop me now they stuck underneath me | |
I took a leap of faith and I climbed up easy | |
Rap-so-deezy and Eric Jones, I Gotham City | |
I save ya all from the bad rappers in ya city | |
And let you take a couple jewels like the cat lady | |
Dark Knights rise again Jamla we back baby | |
Yea | |
I say Dark Knights rise again Jamla we back baby | |
It's so quick to flip and crown a next king | |
Trip like crips do the blues make us swing | |
[Low as the flow where chariots rider wings?] | |
I decoded the message arrested by modern bling | |
[?] lives that never use knives to bring | |
Themselves up a notch only took a stab at a dream | |
Coliseums, used to pray to him, the Elohim | |
Witnessed the door to door and I guarded it like Hakeem | |
The Idi Amin of all these idiots mean I know | |
Toe to toe go with the best that they throw in the ring seen | |
Lot of despair, pair me with none of them things, two left | |
Feets only dance to the beats with B's we rep | |
Honesty, my history Cherokee and it's African | |
Deep blue cinnamon, every bit of the black in him | |
Embrace heritage, capitalize like acronyms | |
We higher seed, no need to deplete it like the Vatican | |
And Benedict ourself, deplenish all our wealth | |
[Bridge (repeat until fade): Rapsody] | |
Never blame a man for misfortune, do it yourself | |
[Verse 2: Wale] | |
Ain't rocked a 9th beat in a minute | |
I ain't even with *****s | |
You slight breeze, I'm wife beaters in winter | |
I'm a product of Reaganomics where the law is a greater problem | |
Where the *****s is spraying something and they got 'em | |
Word to Robin, that's Gotham | |
That was fiction but I'm talking about the district | |
Where business is booming for bird flippers and morticians | |
And I understand the plight of Bane | |
Except we using other drugs just to fight the pain | |
It's coming apart, I'm hoping to God you *****s ain't playing | |
Cause I'm more Patrick Bateman and y'all Bruce Wayne | |
And I do my thing really | |
Folarin spit pepper, young veteran | |
You *****s lack season like a torn ACL-a | |
Level headed, I put this wit in yo lady belly | |
And I bet my digits 'bout as thick as Fat Belly Bella | |
I'm like the new fella meets (Goodfella) | |
Good guy turned heel do the crude business | |
Manute linked is a list of *****s that may envy | |
But I eat danger for lunch, breakfast, and plate empty | |
And I leave the place with some choice ladies to ******* with me | |
And I pull hoes like cellos strings, ***** hear my symphony | |
Of the Opus Mr. Holland ain't got nothing on | |
Hollerin' at these hollow heads, we both shallow but I am raw | |
Fly as *****, who the ***** is y'all to compare me to them peoples | |
*****s questioning they outfit like Jim Carrey on the sequel, get me |
