Hello?
[laughs]
Hello?
Rhyming as i'm coming to the top,
With my back-pack of rhymes
I won't stop.
Every lyric
Flying high like a dove
As the lord
Sprinkles
His love
On me.
His assigned destiny,
Teaching, preaching, c'mon
Question me!
I have the answer to the master-plan.
If you can't,
Then i can.
Jumping the chitz(?) as i speak out,
Wondering what it's all
About, wishing i was only a dream
And i wasn't so extreme.
Gonna make you see i'm not faking it
Like all the others that
Be making it.
Ecstatic, and stating the facts;
Take heed to my extracts.
Following the paths of me,
Eat 'til you fill your greed.
Feeding on my knowledge like a cake,
The smell of truth as i
Bake.
Some goals
You will achieve;
No loss or debt to believe;
Believe me, i wouldn't lie,
For my question
I need your
Reply.
Whatever
You take from me,
Whatever
You say,
I try
To make you see
Things
My way.
Touch me,
Take my hand.
Hold on tight.
As tight as you can.
I'll be with you
All the way.
I'm asking you
Won't you stay?
It's your reality.
Durbba durbba duhr,
Badurbba durbba duhr
Badurbba durbba duhr,
Badurbba durbba duhr.
Earning respect from the crowd
As expression of my meaning
Comes loud,
Bringing it all across
So as you know who's boss.
This is not a media hype -
Maybe i'm just not that type.
My rhymes that'll lift you like a drug,
Like a mat, i'll be
Your rug.
Whatever
That you say,
I'll never
Turn you away.
You don't know me
As you are,
My mind is
What you have caught.
Touch me,
Take my hand.
Hold on tight,
As tight as you can,
I'll be with you
All the way.
I'm asking you
Won't you stay?
It's your reality.
Durbba durbba duhr,
Badurbba durbba duhr,
Badurbba durbba duhr,
Badurbba durbba duhr.
[laughs]
