Rose from ancient kemet, my mind I'm not stable in it/
Know ya limits, laser focus my mind explosive/
Thru time they show us, I'ma darker moses/
Separate the ocean, keep the paper flowing/
Patience a virtue, ya own fam a hurt u/
I rock that royal purple, ninja just like the turtles/
I'm jumping over hurdles, fast like Jessie's owens/
My heart samoan, hitman rest in peace to owen/
Far a rap go, az is just a natural/
I'll attack u, LT that made the tackle/
U theismann, tools i'm utilizing/
Ima Wiseman's, like the yeast I'm rising/
And riding, the sunset is on the horizon/
Ima a markman father, and the king of rap/
Fuck a trap, grab the mic and fuck the track/
Ya queen bee, I take her and do my thing wit that/
U a rat, like the wall I play the back/
Fuck the game raw, u still rock a Jimmie hat/
I ain't asking, the title nigga gimmie that/
Only mention me, wit niggaz that really rap/
I bring balance to the game, All the greats is slained/
Stay in ya lane, life a fight so u gotta train/
I'm outta range, me and u is not the same/
I'm dr strange, yall bloodsuckas wit the fangs/
U know the name, Persian warlord the thane/
No pain no gain, lessen up the calories/
I am ya majesty, yall still spittin fallacies/
That a travesty, real is what I had to be/
I rule the galaxy, self proclaimed king/
On my scaplt a shape up, no benjin/
Since 18, I knew what I was gunna for/
Yall rap hard, but softer then furniture/
My catalog use to fall on deaf ears/
I snatch bodies, but I ain't gotta no tat tears/
Yall rap weird, I'm extraordinary/
Yo the more the merry, praying that the lord a hear me/

A garner rap, progression, I see the God in that/
Amaya Yvonne yes ya father back/
The God of rap, lord of floes, this is all we know/
Fuck a party yo, club scene I hardly go/
Write verses, u hear em in the audio/
Performing live, is my only cardio/
Paul Mason brandy, no barcadi yo/
Its time to go, u could live fast, we all dying slow/
I wanna vacate, were its tropical/
Like the Galapagos, ya niggaz imposters yo/

Use to cop smoke, on the track I lock and load/

For my niggaz, lock down doing sets man/
Stand tall nigga, poke out chest man/
It's for respect but still cut the check man/
Off wit his head, blade stuck in his neck man/
I'm like the x clan, til I'm put to rest man/
This ain't wrestling, ya kids u neglect man/
I'm analytical, life I dissect man/
My name is biblical, use the force that centrifugal/
Yall niggaz typical, az is more lyrical/
My mind is spiritual, me I'm not fearing u/
The music business is difficult/
Give me loot, its Sloppy Smooth never copies dudes/
I'm amused, that ill shit get me in the mood/
Yall confused, I'm like Diesel and rocket fuel/

From plantations, to playstations, they plague nations/
From Ron Reagan, to D trump, they heart racing/
The white racist, I write pages, the hate blatant/
Fuck the plaintiff, the bailiff, and the judge too/
They wanna slug u, we do what the thugs do/
Tore us apart, that what the drugs do/
Where was u, niggaz wanna rush u/
Fuck u, the cops might gun butt u/
America dont love u/
The odd couple, fight for freedom my side hustle/
I go at them niggaz, wit my bare knuckles/
They cant touch u, the game plan is to try and crush u/
Put weight on ya back, til ya knees buckle/
They women phene for u, dream of u, and scheme on u/
They sports teams want u, the place of sorrow/
I might not see tomorrow, but a dollar I need to borrow/
The streets is crazy, people walk around wit scowls/
We wrap r heads in towels, and stay on the prowl/
Some living wild, read the black man bio/
They gave us bibles and tried to put us on trial/
As a child, I experienced exile/
Them cult organizations, was like the x files/
I'm hostile, and flo like the fuckin Nile/
No idols, the champ, I got the fuckin title/

They notice how I represent it, the glass is empty u to pessimist/
Let's admit it, gaining figures, when the people hear it/
Speak in lyrics, judge a man by his merit/
The meek shall inherit the earth/
Since my daughter birth, my heart feel like fireworks/
I've emerged, still blowing green nigga, by the crub/
I never run out of words, my girl want a designer purse/
What u tryin to serve, ima samurai wit the verbs/
For what it worth, I flo like water works/
Bar for bar, u might get slaughtered first/
I'm author and architect, in designer specs/
What u tryin to rep, I got the game by neck/
I need alot of bread, use to be a college kid/
Me I'm trying to live, neva dine on a pig/
The hood where I live, lay the verse then I slide/
U dudes telling fibs, sold a brick I neva did/
Still bout my chedda kid, I'm on another level kid/
The street is devilish, yall bring the same rhetoric/
To the chichi shit, I'm the death of it/
Far as cadence, and flo patterns, this excellent/
I need a betta whip, I'm all about that feta kid/
Intelligence, if u got a problem ima settle it/
Sorta like a fuckin cash settlement/

Workin job after job, I'm tried of the struggling/
Backwards hustlin, to get them custom rimes/
Barely I'm functioning, the new order, they usher in/
Plus I'm in, the land where the man, wanna crush me in/
The work don't pay enough, ever night I'm staying up/
To go at the music, it's a L, when I'm waking up/
Before the day when I'm gone, and he take me up/
He know my time was used, i refuse to be fake as fuck/
Yea some them niggaz cakin up, I fuckin keep it real, u telling me I can't make a buck/
Fuck it, I'm tryin to get my acres up/
Boss said my break is up, other day I'm late as fuck/
Them bills chasing us, I really can't save enough/
To keep up, watch the company u keep cuz/
Watch what u say, when u speak cuz/
Cuz in reality, shit could get bleek cuz/
We was, where the weed was, when they feed us/
And the system don t need us, look at how they treat us/

Garvey Azariah shit, this some Garvey Azariah shit
Garvey Azariah shit, u know the truth we gon ride for it/
Garvey Azariah shit, this some Garvey Azariah shit/
Garvey Azariah shit What u stand on, u gotta live or die for it/
We was kings before slavery/
We was gods before that even came to be/
Its plain to see, they tried to re shape our history/
That ain't mystery, I still want the riches be/
But we rich in spirit, this was just a gift to me/
I had a epiphany, before all the bigotry/
Segregated schools, way before rap lyrics be/
And the skins heads lookin like mr. Clean/
I'm tryin disinfect the cowards, like Listerine/
Dr. Martin Luther, still had a dream/
See what they do, is thought out and calculated/
In the prison system contraband is confiscated/
This the dominatrix, some hearts is full of hatred/
I'm still tryin to make it, some shit I gotta take it/
My ancestors, in my heart, is still sacred/
I'm clothes in nice gear, but I fill naked/

Fly high like a bird do, like a dealer I'm serve u/
Fly high like a bird do, that bad bitch steady tryin to curve u/
Fly high like a bird do, like my kids, yall stay on my nerves to/
Fly high like a bird do, like a new language I gotta learn u/
I was once influenced by, the same guys that been scrutinized/
On the court wit coach doing suicides/
Corona got niggaz euthanized/
My strength I utilize and find my inner peace/
My beliefs is based on facts/
We was once pharaohs, ima take yall back/
I rock the sombrero, stronger bone and marrow/
I spit arrows, fly high like a sparrow/
The card tarot, I hail from the ghetto/
Classic rock, this is heavy metal/
I'm betta on every level, think it then u be it/
U betta believe it, king since a fetus/
The girls show cleavage, my seed is my princess/
Skywalker, wit the apprentice/
Dennis the menace, menace to society/
verse2
My approach in literature, sharp shooter hitman finisher/
I use blow indica, ima a born sinner/
Born winner, god is all in us/
So if u fail, he gon fall wit us/
It's a lesson, life is a blessing/
Get to stepping, words be my weapons/
Adolescents is me, it's my essence/
Fountain of youth, its truth in my message/
Neva stress shit, move wit the effort/
Make my move, then hit the exit/
I'm the next kid, that hot like Texas/
Building blocks like tetris/
I'm treacherous like the 3 nigga/
They say they best, but I dont believe niggaz/

Back against the wall, conquer any problem large or small/
Yall done drop the ball, some rise more fall/
The sunrise got my eyes wise to my surprise/
Neva compromise, yall morals, she gave me oral/
I open portals, my foot step on the floral/
Yall immoral, my voice is immortal/
My girl loyal, and my bloodline is royal/
I dont know u, u vegeta I am goku/
Yacoub, I spit from here to high noon/
I rhyme doom, the beat is what I consume/
My mind bloomed, them niggaz change up they tunes/
The temperature change, when the god in the room/
I lit a fume, the result of the prunes/
Thorn fitted, u can not get wit it/
I'm far from timid, just az no gimmick/
My lineage set, dont fret or forgot/
We in the mix. I'm level headed not piss/
The snake hiss, my life is sacred/
Stay awake kid, we natives what we raised it/
The blade adjacent, the bull is raging/
My waves spin, we some fuckin made men/
The food asain, real rap invasion/
I'm the king of my city, but nobody know that/
I flo facts, I'm rot chest like kodak/
Yo hold that, ya subjects pray to moloch/
U a clown, motherfuckas rap Borat/
I spit raw raps, that all that/
Anybody could get it, I'm prolific/
Mystic, I'm rhyme cryptic, on some pimp shit/
U won't censor me, from here to fuckin Sicily/
I'm like heather B cuz I flo heavenly/
Rock steadily, ain't nobody deadin me/
Move wit integrity, ya baby mom check for me/
It's no effort b, my mouth is my weaponry/
Give u a specialty, box wit no referee/
We the auto bots, yall autotune the equinox/
Nigga from the roc, ima rock till I rot/
U fags blow cock, I ain't at the dope spot/
I'm dope akh, u a op, that we watch/
Neva Shock by the cops, bodies drop by the docks/
Ima 4 eye wizard, I dont sip sizard/
Just go Bezirk, I'm spock not captain kirreck/
Give u that wizword, they betta that absurd/
I'm more obscure sue Indian, new millennium/
Wild gremlin, swing the pendulum/
Burn the Pentagon, a Minotaur wit the muscle arms/
Get my hustle on, pit wit no muzzle on/
Upper echelon, soup wan tan/
U cant pass on this, u need affirmations/
I made a calculation this the savage nation/
Fuck ya allegations, I need no validation/
I am not a mason, I'm more like patty mason/
