lyrics
Yeah
Son Raw (Yeah)
Sounds triumphant, y'nahmean
Montreal (Here we go)
Listen (Kingston)
Yow
Bless the god, the repertoire
Deep like a reservoir, sprinkle special sauce
Hotter than Sichuan (hot), to make a record strong
And not get it wrong, you need me in the session log (Need me)
Recalibrated, every empress salivating (Alla dem)
Been painting pictures, now I'm animating
Militant since twelve back in cadet training
Meditating, learnt the value of having patience (Yes)
This my emancipation, embrace destiny
My fate's testing me, MCing, a strange specialty
Never the same recipe (never), I chef with difference
West Indian, serving these issues like dishes
Riches in my future from spitting on computers
Beat MCs purple, a chick will say it's fuchsia
I'm never neutral, if it's beef, it's mutual
I have no scruples, it's fruitful to reduce you (Yes)
The underground dweller has risen to the surface
Shit is real like a motherfucker
Niggaz say I found God with the flow
Shaking up up up up up a storm a storm
This is where the buck buck stops
Won't care for anything you transpire
Knock, knock, Knock 'em out like Jack Dempsey
Aim, fire, fire, fire, fire
All hail the king, they name me godfather (Hail)
The general, young OG spitting raw lava (Fire)
Here's a kata from a rapper that you call master (Os)
Score every time, you get the ball after (Next)
Five seven, on tracks, I have a tall stature
You get lapped, I can walk past ya
Bring your whole crew, get your squad plastered
Never knew how wide the bomb blast is (Boom)
Competition get obliterated
As I'm scripting statements, yes, this is greatness
My flow is dangerous like a sword that's stainless
Choking strangers within my vocal ranges
Anything I write turn to golden pages (Uh huh)
Words on the mic prove I know the sages
Ahead of my time yet my soul is ancient
Here to inspire and provide motivation
The underground dweller has risen to the surface
Shit is real like a motherfucker
Niggaz say I found God with the flow
Shaking up up up up up a storm a storm
This is where the buck buck stops
Won't care for anything you transpire
Knock, knock, Knock 'em out like Jack Dempsey
Aim, fire, fire, fire, fire
Yow, yow
They try to crucify me but I paid for my sins (I did)
See realness in my eyes through the shade of my lens (Just look)
Push sum'n Japanese but I'm made for the Benz (Uh huh)
It's best to stay humble, too much hate on the ends (For real)
I got real ones but know about the fakest of friends
Wasn't there for the come up, only major events
Acknowledging certain names is a waste of my pen
The opps never stop seeing my greatness again (They won't)
Even the greatest of men had the fiercest critics
They can bring it, when I spit, you can hear my spirit (Feel it)
Only God can judge, I got balls and blood
Been fighting my whole life, I know war is love
My environment sorta like a lion's den (Yeah)
Had to look within for the highest Zen (Yeah)
When I spark, it's the finest blend
So every thought is a diamond gem
The underground dweller has risen to the surface
Shit is real like a motherfucker
Niggaz say I found God with the flow
Shaking up up up up up a storm a storm
This is where the buck buck stops
Won't care for anything you transpire
