[Intro: Ambrosia Sample]
But if you can want love
You can't hide
All the memories inside
And it won't take more than you can give
Just to find a way to live
And as soon as you can look around
There's a new love to be found
[Verse 1]
Won't back down, on my Tom Petty. Still stand out when I got fetty. Y'all are not ready. What I drop's heavy
What I jot's steady filled with the anvil
Blueprint, layin' foundation, and build
Ruthless, raisin' fists, take the Bastille
Movement, making sh*t happen, mad skill
Fluent aidin' narration that spilled like coffee on a doc*ment
c*cky and innocuous copy all the competent
Coppin' all the opulence
Got a stream of consciousness chocked with antioxidants. Microphone fiend, dope as Narcotics Anonymous
Hip hop got me stuck like a crack pipe
You can catch me spittin' while they bringin' the jackknife
Ill when recordin', might sport the Vibe Tribe
Still been mournin' ever since Phife died
[Hook: Yasiin Bey AKA Mos Def Sample]
Cause this thing called rhyming, no different from coal mining
We both on assignment, to unearth the diamond
Thing called rhyming no different from coal mining
We both on assignment, to unearth the diamond
Cause this thing called rhyming, no different from coal mining
We both on assignment, to unearth the diamond
Thing called rhyming no different from coal mining
We both on assignment, to unearth the diamond
[Verse 2]
Yo, my poems runneth over with the food for thought
I wrote some ambrosia, that's food for Gods. I should feed the starvin', but I've never tasted caviar. f*ck it, take a bite
Start farmin' up a salad bar
Somewhere between gettin' hammered in Copacabana
And eatin' manna in Heaven's manor next to Michaelangelo
Broader than Lin Manuel Miranda playin' Hamilton
My quill spills real filled bars beyond status quo. Antidote broke. Antibiotics overused As they questioned who the sickest was
Don't get sh*t confused! Adolescence of youth, I wasn't used to good news. Young dude payin' dues where they due and had to make due. I be in the lab never rockin' a labcoat
You can catch me spittin' then reloadin' my ammo
Followed my heart as it followed hip hop
Cubano once told me always stay p*ssed off
