lyrics

yo fuck the doubters the haters and anyone opposin/
just open up ya minds and listen while i take a moment
to just be honest i'm honored that you would listen
this isn't the shit thats playin on radio station mixes
this is hip hop. not the popular dance crazed
pants raised and tightened/but insane wid writin
well trained, engaged to get ya brain excited/
gained apprenticeship wid the sickest names beside him
wid manifest and the lyricks/testin the limits right?
best wid the lyricism since em was spittin right
for them this isnt just about the stackin paper part
but more about the message how rappin became an art
the fact is, the lack of passion in the rap today
is what made my decision to spit thats why i rap today
i'm bringin back the rap thats actually like a mastered craft
that half of these little wack ass rappas could never actually grasp
they lack ability for the metaphors and similies
or the doubletime spit it wid precision
while kickin it swift wid agility wid humility
i bow and i pay respects to the greats
for an escape to create the music that i was destined to make
