Tonalità: Eb major•
Verse 1
Eb
What we have here
Is the alpha and the omega
I spit it
Bare witness to the greatest and the latest
They try to hate us
B
Witness the evolution of
Verse 2
spitting,
Bbm
Abm
it's wicked and it's decadent
B
Eb
Revolutions per minutes, every
time the record spin
Retribution for cynics,
B
Bbm
Abm
like a stick- up kid with weapons
In Brooklyn,
B
Eb
they say I run it, the 'Natti is checking in
No matter the terminology,
Abm
Eb
blood splatter artistically
Abm
Eb
It's looking like a Jackson Pollock painting,
Bbm
Eb
it's a mystery
Really should be brothers
united against the industry
The Africans diaspora scatter
at shattered history
The game missing me, rap
is so repetitive
Although I ain't your blood or your
cous', it's all relative
I got a gang of rhymes
And Tones' beats is banging
B
We moving through the streets
like we're slanging dimes
Bbm
It's magical,
Abm
how the track is so classical
The cats who got gassed up
B
in their sweats like Plaxico
Eb
I'm back from my sabbatical
Voice of the future, black radical
B
Keeping all the damages collateral
Bbm
Listening to instrumentals Thinking about
Verse 3
Abm
all the
things I've been through
B
The music is just a peek into my life,
it's a window
Eb
It's so high tech and it's also simple
Even if I'm knocked down, I
don't stay down
Even if I get down, I don't lay down
Hotter than the tar on this
empty playground
Hotter than the tar on this empty
playground
Verse 4
Eb
Hey yo, I'm taking all bets
and settling all debts
A giant leap for man
begins with a small step
From a sword to a set
B
Bbm
To my people on the picket line
Abm
Who's sicking of getting treated like them
aliens in District 9
I juxtapose my business
B
Eb
model with my spirit
What, I'm just supposed to keep you
comfortable with the lyrics?
I know the flow's disturbing
I know for certain just because
you know all about the artist
Don't mean you know the person
You don't know me
I run labels
These unstable rappers is so phony
I try to listen but they're boring
as missionary position
So I'm shitting on these niggas
like dysentery conditions
Abm
I'm sitting on the throne, you dreaming
Eb
that it's empty soon
Nobody feeling you,
B
you're screaming in an empty room (Holla!)
Bbm
Abm
The tree that fall in the forest,
B
nobody hearing you
Eb
Even though you fall the hardest
Don't get me started
Verse 5
B
Bbm
Listening to
instrumentals
Abm
Thinking about all the things
I've been through
The music is just a peek into my
B
life, it's a window
Eb
It's so high tech and it's also simple
Even if I'm knocked down, I
don't stay down
Even if I get down, I don't lay down
Hotter than the tar on this
empty playground
Hotter than the tar on this empty
playground
Verse 6
Eb
Yo, I built up my defenses
When I'm left to my devices,
time gets suspended
More than DMX's driver's license
My music's steady,
not affected by the higher prices
People having sex in the streets like
Dionysus
You know what my advice is?
Fuck my advice, live your life
Stop tripping like everything
amount to crisis
I make the sacrifices
My history is black as ice is
I don't think that I can trust
B
you if you're lacking vices
I never miss a beat, the
Bbm
Bb
Abm
liquor make me slurred
B
Eb
It takes my words, tries to twist
them like a Swisher Sweet
With sticky herb
American History
X, your teeth'll hit the curb
B
Bbm
Abm
It's easy 'cause I'm
B
ill with the wordplay
Eb
I still flip the bird, like Jeezy
Strip it down, now it's exposed
B
I suppose my flow is the em
Bbm
peror's new clothes
Abm
Although I'm always by myself,
B
I never ride alone
Eb
The music is on then I'm right at home, zoning
