[Verse 1]
I do this for me, ain't worried 'bout records to be sold
Or records to be broke - truth being told
I'd rather gather cosigns like petitions from people I don't know
I'm one word - two syllables - get to know 'em
Versis with an I - S, not a U - S, or an E - S, so better take note
Studied the game forever - graduating - I'm applying it
All for higher learning yearning burning, no denying it
One word - one syllable - l - i - f - e
Set the tone for the project, please believe me
Illcandescent, shine fluorescent most definitely
Shine your light and might discover who you're destined to be
Treat it as rhetorical for those that's questioning me
But no hard feelings, yo - I'ma let it go
I'm so bu*ter - on a roll, serotonin in my soul
And when I feel the need, yo - I let myself go
I be traveling - never drop the ball - not at all
Aim, take a shot and chase it down with one more
No alcoholic notion - yo, dreaming is my potion
Don't get it twisted, bro - cause sleeping's never my devotion
I'm coasting here on the left side of the map
It's 'bout time for more Rap that's trying to bridge the gap
Between the Golden and the era of the new
Born in '91, could never say you never knew
Steady pulling stunts, don't front
You know I gotcha open
How many MCs who got the props got 'em proper?
It's few on the roster - this is me hoping
To add my my name to the list, blow 'em out the ocean water
I flow in vain/[vein] fresh like the new blood ought to
[Verse 2]
12, 34 - here we, here we, here we go
Dreaming and scheming - 90-something-type-flow
Doper than whatever that it is that you smoke
That bud - whatever you wanna call it
I'm on some Domino trying to get a slice of that pie
My lyrics be the leverage to sever - no lie
Took my time, dropped my 1st joint in '09
After years of steady studying and jotting down lines
No half steppin' to the rhythm of the drum
Power moves - I'm talking fee-fo-fi-fum
Better run - African - high strung - and I'm young
Nappy-headed, almost dreaded - wait a sec'[ond] - I'm not done
I flow in vain/[vein] fresh like the new blood ought to
Nu-damu on the scene looking lean
Force to be reckoned with - new rhyme regime
Bump what you heard - focus in on what I mean
The fire burns higher - this is just the kerosine
The fire burns higher - this is just the kerosine
The fire burns higher - this is just the kerosine
Thinking I'ma get doused? - think not - in your dreams
