Timeless

My style has no birth record

You might know when my record was born

And how I played my favorite classics till the needles was gone

And truth say, you might know how my moms pushed in '76

Turned my world view inside out and one day

But this goes back further than that, further than rap

Before that first hospital slap

Way beyond the confines of joy and pain

Further than pride and shame

Older than the foundation of the food chain

To bore the understanding of an equal cypher

With the consistency of daylight, I shine so bright

I check 1,2 but I ain't talking about no mic

I check 1,2 and calculate the science of life

To add things right and take care of my business

Allowing me to handle my pleasure like a pirate does treasure

My rhymes are burried too deep to measure by the sands of the hourglass

In otherwords built to last

I keep it timeless because I take my time with it

Respect goes out to civilized and committed

Cuz once you hear the capital J, rap it'll stay

With you for awhile and it won't go away

I keep it timeless because I do my thing

Regardless of the stress that your life might bring

Cuz once you hear the capital J, rap it'll stay

With you for awhile and it won't go away

What do you do when you got 22 things to task

And 10 minutes to deal with it

And for the first 5 you bullshitted

The scenario really best describes our folks

Its like devils got plans and niggaz got jokes

Like an underdog team got hopes, but

Hoop dream buzzer-beaters choke when y'all triple team pointguards go nuts

Power corrupts

And its a shame cuz the hardest working squad gets left with the donut

The front runners say "so what?"

They can't back their home team cuz they got no guts

And high scorers check stats but they still have yet to win

Plus tomorrow they'll be riding the bench once again, you see

In this game I'm not trying to be the M.V.P

Cuz the enemy's the clock and the referee

Because its obvious the world is out of order

I hope you wake up cuz we in the forth quarter y'all..Timele

Who pays dues plus sales tax

Just to paint a picture with a thousand words

Only to find out your visions is blurred

Its absurd but still I observe

How the brilliance of Blackness is missed when a sights unheard

As old rhyme styles fester like dreams deferred

New styles just might shine at God's speed indeed

But some still wear the mask that grins and lies

Hides cheeks and shades eyes but I'm not suprised

It's no disguise cuz my five eyes remain all wise

No excuse cuz the innocent is still down south, no escape

We remain robbed, killed and raped

Till you take back your mind and extract the lies

But until then, I still utilize my pen

To lead the land from the slaughter and a horse to the water

Continuing the face the stress of lifes test

With rhymes that impress the best cuz my mind is timeless
