| [00:22.591] | What we have here is the alpha and the omega, I spit it |
| [00:31.546] | Bear witness to the greatest and the latest |
| [00:37.836] | They try to hate us, yo |
| [00:40.022] | Witness the evolution of spitting, it's wicked and it's decadent |
| [00:43.220] | Revolutions per minute every time the record spin |
| [00:46.083] | Retribution for cynics like a stick-up kid with weapons |
| [00:48.756] | In Brooklyn they say I run it, the 'Natti is checking in |
| [00:51.327] | No matter the terminology, blood splatter artistically |
| [00:54.544] | It's looking like a Jackson Pollock painting, it's a mystery |
| [00:57.337] | Really should be brothers united against the industry |
| [01:00.199] | The african diaspora scatter with shattered history |
| [01:02.952] | The game missing me, rap is so repetitive |
| [01:05.832] | Although I ain't your blood or your cuz, it's all relative |
| [01:08.683] | I got a gang of rhymes, and Tone's beats is banging |
| [01:12.028] | We moving through the streets like we slanging dimes |
| [01:14.704] | It's magical, how the track so classical |
| [01:17.115] | To cats who got gats tucked in they sweats like Plaxico |
| [01:19.889] | I'm back from my sabbatical, voice of the future |
| [01:22.612] | Black radical, keeping all the damage as collateral |
| [01:25.094] | Listening to instrumentals |
| [01:27.720] | Thinking bout all the things I've been through |
| [01:30.555] | The music just a peek into my life as a window |
| [01:33.336] | It's so Hi-Tek and it's all so simple |
| [01:36.127] | Even if I'm knocked down, I don't stay down |
| [01:39.042] | Even if I get down, I don't lay down |
| [01:41.816] | Hotter than the tar on the city playground |
| [01:44.708] | Hotter than the tar on the city playground |
| [01:47.404] | Aiyyo, I'm taking all bets, I'm settling all debts |
| [01:50.857] | A giant leap for man begin with the small steps |
| [01:53.735] | From a sword to a set, to my people on the picket line |
| [01:56.684] | Who sick of getting treated like them aliens in District 9 |
| [02:00.323] | I juxtapose my business mind with my spirit |
| [02:02.571] | What, I'm just supposed to keep you comfortable with the lyrics? |
| [02:05.364] | I know the flow disturbing, I know for certain |
| [02:07.853] | Just because you know all about the artist don't mean you know the person |
| [02:11.257] | You don't know me, I run labels |
| [02:14.120] | These unstable rappers so phony |
| [02:16.261] | I try to listen but they as boring as missionary position |
| [02:19.165] | So I'm shitting on these niggas like dysentery conditions |
| [02:21.943] | I'm sitting on the throne, you dreaming that it's empty soon |
| [02:25.066] | Nobody feeling you, you screaming in an empty room |
| [02:28.075] | The tree that fall in the forest, nobody hearing you |
| [02:30.709] | Even though you fall the hardest, don't get me started |
| [02:33.288] | Listening to instrumentals |
| [02:35.538] | Thinking bout all the things I've been through |
| [02:38.359] | The music just a peek into my life as a window |
| [02:41.092] | It's so Hi-Tek and it's all so simple |
| [02:44.032] | Even if I'm knocked down, I don't stay down |
| [02:46.897] | Even if I get down, I don't lay down |
| [02:49.723] | Hotter than the tar on the city playground |
| [02:52.566] | Hotter than the tar on the city playground |
| [02:55.216] | Yo, I build up my defenses when I'm left to my devices |
| [02:59.067] | Time gets suspended more than DMX driver's license |
| [03:01.960] | My music's steady, not affected by the higher prices |
| [03:04.651] | People having sex in the streets like Dionysus |
| [03:07.626] | You know what my advice is? **** my advice, live your life |
| [03:10.634] | Stop tripping like everything a minor crisis |
| [03:13.254] | I'm making sacrifices, my history is black as Isis |
| [03:16.151] | I don't think that I can trust you if you lack in vices |
| [03:18.996] | I never miss a beat, the liquor make me slur |
| [03:21.311] | They takes my words, try to twist 'em like a Swisher Sweet with sticky herb |
| [03:24.655] | American History X, your teeth will hit the curb |
| [03:27.174] | It's easy cause I'm ill with the wordplay, I still flip the bird |
| [03:30.050] | Like Jeezy, we stripped it down, now it's exposed |
| [03:32.659] | I suppose my flow is "The Emperor's New Clothes" |
| [03:35.309] | Although I'm always by myself, I never ride alone |
| [03:38.257] | The music on, then I'm right at home, zoning |
| [03:40.713] | Listening to instrumentals |

| [03:57.505] | Hotter than the tar on the city playground |
| [04:00.452] | Hotter than the tar on the city playground |
| [04:03.956] | Yeah, it's the pavement, word is bond |
| [04:09.073] | Don't be scared to think man, don't be scared |
| [04:14.592] | I know what's in your brain, it's scary man |
| [04:18.857] | You're only using like ten per cent |
| [04:20.139] | The other ninety per cent is scary man |
| [04:22.060] | But don't be scared, scary ass niggas, ay! |
