Bring light to the situation. Maybe, you know, try to find your own personal message in that incident, that experience, and try to move forward… [Battle Verse 1: Ab-Soul] Y'all got me? Everything good? Y'all can hear me? Before we start, let me just say this, let me just say this I'm dating you, Day… wait, wait, pause No gay sh**, what's the difference between a date and a day anyway, Day? A date is a day that's marked I'm smart, and just ‘cause I know you love 'em so much I came with name flips for days, tailored just for Day I'm expecting Day to base his verse on data based on turds My database said Day the basehead that date a basehead Is he dope? No. Who gave Day the base? Ball is what we do best Flock his projects; that's a home run Day, the baseball is what we do best Carpe diem, that's how you say "seize the day" in French I stand behind these bars for the rest of my life I will never see the light of Day again Now witnessing this rare occasion I bear fruits of my labor, this Grape is green I gotta eat on the go, Day I hope they told you that everything that Soul say don't go a long way – don't go a long way, what? A ho in Chipotle, no, this is food for thought, from a dog on top We been nuts, there was a fool who thought we was new to this, but who knew this would end up A glow stick in a uterus; that's Lyt in a box And that's light, that's light But Lyt like to lick twat a lot, so that's right That's what y'all call street? No tales from the Crip this evening He slip, seems he forgot what the C meant It's your dumba**' fault that last part was so concrete But I guess you'd have to be kin to get that bar, b Pardon me, I bet right about now You feelin' like Jordan down in the Jordan Downs In fact it's crazy that you even play ball To clear your thoughts before raw backwards And that's cool, but for this round, save the bull Before you let the Jordan Downs and Jordan down Now, as for the crew Well, uhh, the villain been itchin' to skin a dog And this n***a bought, what, a hundred and three dalmatians? It's safe to say your mob of dots won't make it And I'm a fan first But it won't take too many seconds to leave you in a damn urn You deserve this disservice I put this man in ER's if he don't got no manners Man, word, I'm expectin' some etiquette in your segment, kid I brought you to the 'Stu to show how we do So all them antics and funny sh** you do for the cameras don't get aired here, they can't see you Wave your title to this tidal wave, we do And you don't appear to be a peer to me For real, you should kneel to me or somethin' f** it, to keep it 100, you're nil to me, that's nothin' Heard they been raisin' raisins down on Grape Street That's crazy, right? That's what happens when you expose them Grapes to too much Daylyt So your chances of standin' Much smaller than my plan to defeat you Wait, what, do I gotta put it in photosynthesis or somethin', son? Shed some light on Day? 'Til he's cropped out No, not now, I won't need a plant to defeat you The sequel, this movie, won't need to be continued You finally encountered somethin' you can't counter Coward, you're counterfeit You ain't gotta be in a Walgreen's pharmacy To see Quill drug over the counter After your mother consumed you You were the fruit of the womb After you were born, I'm sure you wore Fruit of the Loom Now I'm tryna figure out, is you from Grape Street, Crip Or just another fruit in this room? It's crucial, you choose, I'm sure you don't want me to a**ume I should be against the law to run into ‘Cause we all know in LA I'm double you All so true, today is the day I split Day in two What the f** has battle rap turned Day into? Are you from Gotham or from Watts? Are you Batman, Spawn, or Devone? Did you really think "Paul Walker" was a dope song? If so, you were wrong But hold on, I got one more, and don't lie to me Do you really have a Batmobile outside, my G? Don't be so transparent, this n***a Lyt through If you don't know what transparent means Let me enlighten you If it's transparent, that means that it lets the light through So I should smack this trans' parents for lettin' Lyt through Like, the nerve of this cat Lyin' with a motionless emotion, this n***a Day all b**h Somebody get Quill a quilt before Quill get k**ed Do Quill got sk** at all, homie? It was some Braveheart sh**; all I heard was nah's, homie Did you really expect to last, Day? You know Revelations say that we livin' in the last days I mean, I see you skimmed through Genesis and Timothy But did you get to that page? You got gats? You think your little arm'll get in the way of Armageddon? Forget it, Day! No, really, forget this day If I had a time machine, I'd go back in time to see Just how many people would say yes to Day Nobody, fam, nobody, fam, that's why I'm ahead to Day No, no body, fam, that's why I'm a head today No, nobody fam, that's why I'm ahead of Day Somebody check the clock, I think I'm ahead a day Send him to the choppin' block, off with the head of Day It's only right I be blunt to Lyt I only gave Lyt a match to light a blunt I see I should have used the lighter instead Chill, Loc, we ain't smokin' no purple, we need the fire instead When I think of daylight, I think of sh** like… breakfast, morning, birds singin', kids playin'—see where I'm goin'? That means you better break fast Or I'll have your family mourning' When that bird sings, kid, I ain't playin' and you know it But you know what? Hold on, hold on Let me get you right, we have this sh** Take this 500 before you clap this sh** up Say this, let me say this, let me just say this These flashin' lights got Lyt flashin', n***a, for the glory Your buzz lightyears from here, Quill, and you tellin' toy stories You boys bore me, that's why I'm hoggin' all lanes All your bars Häagen-Dazs, that's on everything Day a dairy queen, Deluxe; bless, King! Dearly beloved, all first verse, all first verse You know I brought a hearst for the sausage you brought worst Dearly beloved, here lies this little light of mine That tried to let it shine And I hate that we have to hear lies From this little light of mine that tried to let it shine But I'm ill, you men ate when I finished Lyt You get it, Lyt?
