EQ - Potential Energy lyrics

This the Revisitation of cla**ic to prove that I'm the master But not only that, I'm on the verge of the former adjectival function That I used to describe timeless - Mind is over matter all the time, I'm bout to redefine rhyming Must've said it five times, but... All these cats seem to think that they're immortal n***as think that they got nine lives, but n***as walkin' on a fine line, and I spent more than enough watching the throne, but it's high time that Somebody took it; I got it, I'm bookin' Studied all the prodigy inside the projects of Brooklyn Studied all the Prodigy inside the projects of Queens Motherf**er might as well call me a product of Shook Ones Cause this is hip hop - I don't ever see it degressin' Practice for perfection every time I'm in the session If I'm talkin' Smith & Wesson not an automatic weapon Just my lyrical discretion that has taught a lot of lessons.. Yo; this the coast of the Atlantic at its top notch - Now its not a lie when I say that I'm in a drop top Ridin' with the baddest chick in pa**enger, pa**in' spliffs n***as think they know but never know the half of it; I'm on it A(head) of my time, like Nastradamus Promise that my star is gon' shine as soon as I find it Homicide on multiple birds - with the same rock, and Back in school I was sick of learning the same knowledge Pops was sick of reprimanding letters from the teachers Setting standards tryna get that little man out of the bleachers On the sidelines - maybe even off 'em on the team But what you could be stays potential when you keep doubting your dreams Everyone here underestimates how sick you've gotta be When you're flowing with the pen if you wanna spread your diesease I spread it like a virus, city's pretty clean Dodge 5-0 to survive, still gritty, still mean Try to fit me in the cuffs - get me on my knees Pull me over to the side to meet a quota for their green, but... Never that, we stay on the scheme; My flow is deeper going solo than you could be with your team Already chasin' somethin, that I could never have So that only means the chase can last forever till I pa** No weather can outlast the mast I've tethered from my past So when the hate amounts that, you can come back and have a laugh.. Until that day comes - I suggest you pack your bags They used to call us punks, but this sh** is hardly daft - Before ringtone rap started kicking out the sag We used to wear our skinny jeans and all they did was think us f*g But you be trippin' on your clothes, slippin' on the cash race; We ran the track, your a** was sittin', get the facts straight Half these cats haven't even see a vac-seal Not to say I'm in the trap, but I could tell you that's real - So I explain to these cowards like Nas gave to power Blaze the haze in the flower you couldn't raise to my tower E.K. makes it rain and ya'll just makin' it shower The fact is your DJ is paying him by the hour Staying visible from the tip of your crew to the tip of your shoes.. I ain't trippin spittin' writtens to you You don't have the versatility my syllables do And I can't imagine what you'll feel once the residuals through I'm done
