(Chorus)
I've been rhymin' since communication occurred
I've been rhymin' since the start and formulation of words
I've been rhymin' since the moment God created the earth
I was rhymin' in the womb before the date of my birth
I've been rappin' since the origin and making of beats
I've been rappin' from the parties to the stage to the streets
I've been rappin' before anyone would say I'm a beast
And I'mma keep on rappin' hard until the day I'm deceased
(Verse 1)
I was rhymin' before and throughout the history of rap
Writing lyrically in cla** especially history and math
Spittin' to Owen Wilson when his wrists were slit with sheets of gla**
Rappin' on the cliff to Moses when he split the sea in half
Writing till the whole page is worded and read nice
When grandfather's old age flirted with d**h twice
Spittin' when Bad Boy's Mase learned to accept Christ
I was rappin' when OJ murdered his ex-wife
Rappin' to Madonna when her songs were played at different auctions
To Osama when the soldiers caught and placed him into coffins
To your momma when she s**ed my balls and made her sick and nauseous
To Obama when he was inaugurated into office
When the Armenians went to war against Rome
Rappin' to Arthur before he pulled the sword from the stone
Rhymin' when the great Mona Lisa was shown by Da Vinci
Rappin' to Clinton while he was getting blown by Lewinsky
I was spittin' when Andrew Johnson was tried for impeachment
I was rappin' while William Wallace died for his freedom
I was rhymin' to 50 when he all was all bout his chrome Glock
Rappin' to Babe Ruth before he called out his own shot
And 2 Live Crew when they presented their rare rap
And to the Wright Brothers when they perfected the aircraft
Rhymin' when Kobain was holding chrome to his eyelid
And rappin' to David while he was throwing stones at Goliath, Yeah
(Chorus)
I've been rhymin' since communication occurred
I've been rhymin' since the start and formulation of words
I've been rhymin' since the moment God created the earth
I was rhymin' in the womb before the date of my birth
I've been rappin' since the origin and making of beats
I've been rappin' from the parties to the stage to the streets
I've been rappin' before anyone would say I'm a beast
And I'mma keep on rappin' hard until the day I'm deceased
(Verse 2)
I've been rhymin' since Kanye was wearing tight and gay attire
Cavemen were rubbing sticks together and created fire
Prisoners were getting feathered tarred and then beaten
And when Adam bit the apple from the Garden of Eden
Before the Catholic church was living life in denial
To the four evangelists when they were writing the Bible
Spit to Rakim when he left Eric B in the past
Rappin' to George when he chopped the cherry tree with an axe
Rhymin' when the government poured all salt in the wound
And when Armstrong hit the golf ball on the moon
Rhymin' before any of these rappers let off a gat
Rappin' to Ozzy when he went and bit the head off the bat
I was rhymin' when Kriss Kross was wearing all their pants and clothes reversed
Rhymin' to the son of God the moment that he rose from dirt
Rhymin' to the Boston Sox the moment that they broke the curse
And when Mookey Wilson hit the ball through Buckner's toes at first
Rhymin' when the natives were still living nomadic
And I've been rappin' before anybody listened to Static, Yeah
(Chorus)
I've been rhymin' since communication occurred
I've been rhymin' since the start and formulation of words
I've been rhymin' since the moment God created the earth
I was rhymin' in the womb before the date of my birth
I've been rappin' since the origin and making of beats
I've been rappin' from the parties to the stage to the streets
I've been rappin' before anyone would say I'm a beast
And I'mma keep on rappin' hard until the day I'm deceased
