[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] We be onnat elegant hella melanin
[02:45.27] Pelle Pelle's since they crayons and jelly pens
[02:48.80] And now you know Noname ain't never for none
[02:51.13] (Ayo, you know Chano ain't never for none)
[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] Aha, and you don't stop
[03:03.69] Boom bap, and you don't stop
[03:06.10] I told you that was gonna be fun though
