Rakaa Iriscience - 64 Squares in the Cypher lyrics

[Verse 1: Sunspot Jonz] Heart of a pharaoh, soul of a scholar Child of the sun living through God's power Rage of a tiger, you rappers too lazy Copycat k**ers, Dimetapp babies Test tube industry control ya whole society I already known that the government been lying to me So I spent most my time in the library Professor Xavier mixed with Marcus Garvey Chess moves, what the best do I jump kick, side flip, then I check you Like ya names Conrad Murray, not true to the code How ya Lose ya common sense when it comes to the dough Never do that, like bust a wack rap You a fashion design rapper so don't talk about the trap Too many trying to be someone else Why don't you have a new approach like be ya damn self Don't be a clone and be lazy and oblivious to right Words from sunspot Jonz, Living Legends for life [Verse 2: MC Zumbi] Solitary walk swimming upstream Like a salmon, Bob Marley Jammin Rebel music, f** the system I piss on they grave, when they gone won't miss dem In my mud walk, carry lightly Middle path, feel the wrath of my lightning Strike like Xango, do the right thing Shouts to Spike Lee, mountains hiking Like Everest, black power fist Heads bounce to the strength of the mentalist Blaze my own trails when my clique bail Souls we don't sell, words from the third rail Deep from underneath in dem gutter streets Where they programs don't reach, still we gotta eat Each one teach one, be about something Def and blind ain't fun, on the run dun Follow instincts that's what God gave Spit in black ink, hold my own parade [Verse 3: Rakaa Iriscience] I don't play either side or king, I play God Heavenly wars played out on hand-carved boards Rakaa's many moves ahead, learned to sacrifice to win Angels share the table with the ones that lived a life of sin Bishops work the angles, rooks hold the line The Queen does almost anything she wants: she's fine And deadly—knights swarm ninety degrees And potentially the pawn can almost be any piece Spar with humans, battle Deep Blue innovations With sacred geometry, the code is in notations Attack and defend, trying to lock up the throne I walk alone, but can't change the world on my own Hip Hop Chess building bridges, connect nations Grapple then shake hands, it's standing ovations Check the strategy, respect the ill science A bloody ballet, a riot in near silence The poison pawn is bait, beauty in warfare Yin and yang, 8x8, living 64 squares
