First/Last

Rhyme session, y'all

Put spit through the mic mesh and all

Time for confessional

Break down the fourth wall

We highly touted

Lauded for audible slaughter

Of all past recorded material on the market

Recycle your garbage into post-consumer product

The shit they're spitting at the youth is nonsense

That's why we choose to pursue the conquest

With the truest conduct

And views to wake people's minds up

Get the groupies lined up

If you can't figure out what time it is

Then dude your time's up

And your Movado says the

Same thing as my Snoopy wind-up

Yo take these words to heart

They're more than just some cute reminder

Dujeous' track record's longer than anacondas

We don't do this just to pass time

So when I blast mine

Put your hands up

Like it's the last time

You know we birth rhyme

And even though it hurts, I'm

Rockin' for you like it's my first time

The first time I got hit like the last time

Leaking out the iron-cast rind

Peace-seeker

Always getting in fights

It's not right

These are fast times

Been living at night

But for the first time

I know that I'm remembering right

I duel discipline now

I used to have it for thinking and drinking, now

I'm thinking, drinking and inking

Rollin' with funk, stink 'n 'em

And I'm an idea machine on a springboard with cleats

It's thin ice I dine on when fixin' ends meat

I will accomplish before I compete

'Cause the first time was incomplete

Perhaps it took a drink and a seat

But now it's salutations, time, we meet

The first time I touched the sky

Comets streaking off the

Side of the highway

No time for thinking "why? "

Just a second of breath

Knocked out, wind-swept

Rep changed from the average to the man who cheated death

The first time my face felt concrete

And stepped out my body

To observe the situation was a mess, though

The melodrama in the hospital was fresh

With Billy Joel in the speakers

Simple surgeons on my right and left

I might have just stopped my heart for thirty secs

But I came back to New York state of mind since I first left

Soon I was taking my first steps

Relearning

Painkillers got abandoned

Soon as I went back to burning

Concerning my friends, family and higher learning

Was the fact that reality happened to have me turning to a higher power

I learned to ask questions

The first not the last time I had to be tested
