This is my path, never gonna mistake it,
can't fake it,
lest I wind up hated
never gonna deviate, if I wanna make it
that much is blatant,
but the truth is some can't take it
I'm so pretty, but I'm far from vacant
other flows glow two dimensional like hand drawn animation
So much hard graft to noticed, let alone admired
But you can't fall to flat tyres feel that fire don't let it expire
fill you with desire then let it burst, don't be mired
in the words of those who can't equal your verse's their curses are like the briar
patchy at best, lacking the zest to succeed
But they still fall to greed, don;t let them impede you
stampede through the needless and be your own beast
Find a way to slay your prey, toy with them then enjoy your feast
Oh, my it's w.r.y
Another pale boy with a flow so fly
Don't even gotta try with the dope design
Play the guitar like a muthafucking riot sublime
I ruminate on every reference
I respect every enemy intelligence
Give my predecessors deference
all of my professors in the art of lyrical elegance
hold them in reverence
Pedestals of perfection like Ganesh to an elephant
I do what I do out of love for the art
better believe that my sleeve is where I wear my heart
I fight dark urges, stay sincere
I won't give in to encroaching fear
I'm not gonna let my soul be poached
I'll pave the way, hard to slay a verbal cockroach
It's so fuckin' easy to write a brag rap
when I got a beat that moves your feet my tongue goes ratatatat
Delicious delicacies make the dastardly go drat
I can see the glass ceiling start to crack
But I won't turn my back on those who got me here
Won't steer clear of those I should hold dear
Though some shoulders are colder than perfectly poured beer
I know the direction my soul should be steered
I pay it forward, when those bridges are burned
Even if a reconnections all I yearn
I won't let the past be my master
can't be as random or clumsy as a blaster
elegant weapon, herald a civilised age
So I can't afford to fall to fear, hate or rage
leave my competition dazzled dizzy in a daze
Top of my division spitting visions like a sage
