[Intro (Overlapped with Hook): Breez Evahflowin']
Breez Evahflowin'. Wally What. John Henry
[Hook: Sample from [?]]
Hear his hammering
Hear his hammering
Just to hear his hammering
Hammer be the d**h of me
When John Henry was a little baby
Sitting on his daddy's knee
He picked up a hammer, a little piece of steel
Said, “Hammer be the d**h of me”
Hammer be the d**h of me
Hammer be the d**h of me
Hammer be the d**h of me
Hammer be the d**h of me
[Verse 1: Breez Evahflowin']
Yo, I gripped the hammer but it's no fo'-fo'
I took the challenge and it took its toll
Walked straight lines with a crooked soul
Looks like the rhyme done broke its mold
Uptown boy to the Brooklyn go
Feeling fresh while looking old
Cold, put a little bitten flow
No, full of the legit info
No, I will never give control
On the low from the pigs who strolled. Known fact:
Some fight the power but they don't come back
John Henry hammer, the grammar is the combat
Verbally, the vision is beyond that
Spit to resist like the fist of the Ong-Bak
[Hook: Sample from [?]]
John Henry said to the captain
Oh, a man ain't nothing but a man
'Fore I'd let your steam drill beat me down
Die with the my hammer in my hand
Die with the my hammer in my hand
Die with the my hammer in my hand
Die with the my hammer in my hand
Die with the my hammer in my hand
[Verse 2: Breez Evahflowin']
John Henry hammer, the grammar is the combat
Verbally, the vision is beyond that
Spit to resist like the fist of the Ong-Bak
No comparison to non-rap
Song carry on for eons and beyond that
Where I'm at, remind you of why I rewind that
Rhyme that splashes as the time lapses
Systematic, climbing collapses
Who the hero who gon' beat the Evil Axis?
All access to action when the wax is
Made a full revolution
A fool with a dream in a pool of solutions
Feet-first, no diving allowed
Something diverse looking out at the crowd
[Hook: Sample from [?]]
Henry was a little baby
Sitting on his daddy's knee
Let your steam drill beat me down
Can't drive steel like me
Can't drive steel like me
Can't drive steel like me
Can't drive steel like me
Can't drive steel like me
[Verse 3: Breez Evahflowin']
A fool with a dream in a pool of solutions
Feet-first, no diving allowed
Something diverse looking out at the crowd
More than one happy to begin to eat right now
Some suffer from selective perspective
Can't see it all through the walls they erected
Pride is the flaw that causes a method
To form an opinion that form into effort
‘Til the form is war-torn and breathless
The more informed and the more mourning d**h is
Seeing reflections of Kings and X's
Blood on the crown of what came from Texas
Got a king that we ain't selected
The process as strange as it ain't perfected
But draws at the strings that we ain't detected
I ain't special-trained—it don't take detectives
[Hook: Sample from [?]]
Took John Henry to the White House
And they buried him in the sand
Every locomotive come roaring by
Says, “There lies the steel-driving man”
Says, “There lies the steel-driving man”
There lies the steel-driving man
There lies the steel-driving man
There lies the steel-driving man
[Verse 4: Breez Evahflowin']
Yo, I gripped the hammer but it's no fo'-fo'
I took the challenge and it took its toll
Walked straight lines with a crooked soul
Looks like the rhyme done broke its mold
Uptown boy to the Brooklyn go
