lyrics
VERSE 1 – Justo the MC
Attackin’ your area no satiricals
We are no way never the same, we asymmetrical
There’s trash in your catalogue dawg, need recepticles
I’m not receptive, Thinking back I’m introspective
Got a new perspective, be perceptive receive the message
Ain’t too much I haven’t seen man, I’m on a higher domain
You know the name, Mr Formally Known
You the man, yeah, Brooklyn’s own
Fill it to the bone
Still prone to rip that rugged cos I’m rough round the edge
Slick talkers talk that talk, til they’re thrown off the ledge
Keep a shorty by the throne, keep a crown on my head
They don’t want me living long, rather see the king dead
Come with the territory, sweatin' glory, so on and so
You’re now rockin’ with the, uh, I think you already know
Verse 2 - Johaz
The Lexapro got me sittin' calm
Each verse that I create is like a missile bomb
Hit the planet Earth yellin' Bismillah
Holdin' secrets in my palm like a missing psalm
Yeah, it’s nothin' but the God in me
Stay pissin' on these bitches like a scar kidney
Buss shots at you cats
Intoxicate your mind it won’t involve Henny
Yeah, solid liquids and gasses
Every verse I write is equality for the masses
Roll a Backwood and then burn it down to the ashes
You 85 niggas is still callin' me Cassius
Yeah, address me as your overlord
Don’t wanna hear you whine you got me overboard
Effectin' people’s mind like an open sore
Toss a rapper’s dead body on an ocean shore
Verse 3 - Sleep Sinatra
Home is where the heart is
Forties poured for the departed
The price on my soul ain’t never bargained
Peace to all the riots startin'
Change ain’t never calm we gotta keep it movin' through the blockage
Earth told me know my worth
Each verse need a deposit
Where I’m livin' we’re land locked it’s
The options expand to reach or get lost in
The sea of monotony been plottin' on my callin'
That’s why I’m all in
The steps gettin' steeper, I gotta keep from fallin'
Read the cards they told me that trouble’s sprawlin'
The poor been righteous meanwhile the devil’s ballin'
Disruption’s what I call it
Short circuit the system
Sleep been a problem they ain't solvin'
It’s real magic watch it get whipped in the cauldron
