The game has been weak, and me? My middle name is unique,
And so I’m claiming I’m the main one that they came here to see,
Paintings in B.R.A.I.L.L.E
Look at me now, no shears, not shaving the sheep,
It’s more like, crafting a classic, hattr you bastard,
Thanks to the beats, I’ll now be hated by masses of rappers,
As if I, wasn’t already, my flow’s used for beheadings,
I’m pro with this machete, my foes become confetti,
I’m dope, and y’all are so unready, soft like teddy,
Talking, acting deadly, but your hands shake and you walk unsteady, gut check,
Now tell me how you could be spitting flames but ain’t erupt yet?
And tell me how you’re criminal, but only looking suspect,
And tell me all the things you’ve told a thousand heads before,
What you got in store? Nothing til your album drops at 44,
To hear you tell it, you’re America, from war to war,
But you’d probably be a corpse long before you saw the corps.
Half the time, I find myself doubled over to laugh at rhymes,
Most rappers past they prime, the rest are asinine,
Wild imaginations, day-dreams of blasting nines,
Other than real talent, all they really lack are spines,
What are these crappers, all deaf dumb and blind?
Just repeating what they see and hear hoping to get signed?
Everybody now’s the coldest, I reflect the sun’s shine,
Melt emcees, and leave careers wrecked with one line,
So in due time, maybe they’ll make sense of the clues I’m,
Dropping and stop talking monotonous it’s preposterous,
I shudder to think of what rap’s about to become,
Y’all have, muddied the waters, but that can be undone,
This game is all a front, fugazy on all fronts,
It’s not dead. It’s simple, hip-hop is Forrest Gump,
Hip-hop’s just in a slump, it’s lost a little funk,
So let’s put it back, lose the gat, toss it in the junk.
