[00:11.46] |
Sparring is training |
[00:13.40] |
Chain snatching the slaves |
[00:14.36] |
But a rap song is a match in a cave |
[00:17.33] |
Dim lit, wet wick, wicked wrath in its way |
[00:20.40] |
Drunk off of light, lies, laughing |
[00:22.23] |
Claiming asylum while shying in shade |
[00:24.39] |
I can't stay silent, I go violent when my violets is gray |
[00:27.16] |
And my roses is black |
[00:28.73] |
Fuck the pharaohs and pharisees, Moses is back |
[00:31.39] |
I don't need to see a Sphinx to know they noses was black |
[00:34.35] |
I don't know one temptation that had Otis' back |
[00:37.37] |
Sparring is training this a jumping jack |
[00:39.37] |
I'm the scariest jack in the pumpkin patch |
[00:41.62] |
Float like my jumper wet, sting like a bumblebee |
[00:44.75] |
I swing like a lumber jack, go back when I'm up at bat |
[00:47.84] |
They tried to label me a non-rapper |
[00:50.39] |
I'm an independent contractor |
[00:52.48] |
Card cracker, sparring is training without the training wheels |
[00:56.22] |
You made it, you made it, you made it, yeah, you made a deal |
[00:58.94] |
You played it straight, hated, graduated, waited, waited |
[01:02.36] |
You still a waiter still |
[01:03.98] |
Mice will always find out ways to steal |
[01:06.30] |
Picture me, fifth of Hennessy and the swisher sweet |
[01:09.42] |
Fake identity, 'til a plug named Trinity shook me |
[01:12.90] |
"Wake up, wake up" like remember me? |
[01:15.43] |
Said one plus one make three, and you finna see |
[01:18.35] |
You ain't as grown as you finna be |
[01:20.95] |
You got them young nigga tendencies |
[01:23.47] |
Sentimental energy |
[01:24.49] |
I let the light in beside him, I stand like angel |
[01:27.11] |
Sparring is training for an apathetic halo |
[01:30.44] |
Apologetic, non religious, consequential fable |
[01:33.28] |
Like good is good, the love in me is goodly or godly |
[01:35.75] |
The Bible say mistakes is necessary |
[01:38.74] |
So I Mississippi monologue to granny house |
[01:40.99] |
My soloist is sold out to attentive God |
[01:44.30] |
Cornbread on my table when I say my prayers |
[01:47.30] |
On airs, to stairs where shadiness is time to rest or manifest |
[01:51.00] |
Sparring is training, I know they think me bumblebee |
[01:54.16] |
Afro-Americano Sunny D |
[01:56.95] |
But bet I sting, no die |
[01:59.54] |
Sparring is training |
[02:01.37] |
Jacob wrestled with God, in the desert 'til he broke him |
[02:04.39] |
And he blessed him and he rescued his heart |
[02:06.44] |
I struggle with love, I juggle my loves |
[02:08.59] |
I cuddle and coddle, ship wreckin' bottle, I huddle in hugs |
[02:11.32] |
Sparring is training bra, Ramses watching raining frogs |
[02:14.63] |
Jigga watching Damon, Damon watching Wayans Bros |
[02:18.61] |
A tandem unicycle with two pilots in different maps |
[02:21.83] |
You giving back? |
[02:22.87] |
(I'm giving back) |
[02:23.70] |
Tit for tat |
[02:24.88] |
Synagogue and bottle caps |
[02:26.55] |
A body in the underpass says, where's my Jesus? |
[02:28.31] |
Pledge allegiance to the money now |
[02:30.69] |
We runnin down to kiddie parks where darker kids be casualty |
[02:33.51] |
Like come with me, to the museum |
[02:35.78] |
Excuse them, they know of what they do |
[02:38.70] |
Sparring is training,don't let Denzel Training Day you |
[02:40.70] |
Sensei could catch a fade too |
[02:42.62] |

[02:45.27] |
Pelle Pelle's since they crayons and jelly pens |
[02:48.80] |

[02:53.89] |
And now you know Noname ain't never for none |
[02:57.10] |
(Ayo, you know Chano ain't never for none) |
[02:59.95] |
