I ain't citing no biting or rewriting I'm too exciting
When I'm letting my lyrics fly right on time and
Taking no prisoners firing all my cylinders
Slicker than Pernell Whitaker slicker than oiled vinegar
Style's my signature smooth like a caligrapher
Writing mad rhymes to pass the time
When it was simpler thinking bout my choices
Avoiding rejoicing poison spitting lyricist be making active noises
Destroyed this repping like the man from Illinois did
Science and mathematical beast Hank McCoy kids
I'm getting elevated name was Earl Boykins
It's pointless and every track be disappointing
Fuck, doesn't mean that I ain't gifted
I'm grinding all my gears when all they really need some shifting
I'm running a muck all out of luck I'm a be spitting to make just a buck
Ain't gone be quitting til I'm in the dust
Mozart, Beethoven and Iron Lung busts

I wont compete in this competition
Because I have a greater mission
I hope that you listen
I hope that you listen
Hope that you
Hope that you
Hope that you
Listen
I hope that you listen
Hope that you listen
Hope that you

What if all of my fears irrational
Why am afraid of dying
That's nothing unnatural
Why are we afraid of trying
That’s nothing but attitude
Why are you wasting time if
You know they wont give it back to you
Battle each of your demons
Challenge every doubter
I doubt if you’ll be so lucky to
Live or to love without em
Fought em, thought I was drowning
Waded way out the fountain
Deep at sea a piece of me just
Praying I see the mountain
Oh lord forgive him
He’s so weary of seeking to be
Rewarded for swimming
But it’s punishment at the functional
Core of the system
As the laws is written
It’s a war of attrition
Yo what more are we missing
They keeping all of this wisdom
And the wealth for they selves
We in cells and prison
With no help and assistance
I think hell is a business
Where the key to success is kept
Hidden in the darkness
Don’t be afraid to go in it come on

I wont compete in this competition
Because I have a greater mission
I hope that you listen
I hope that you listen
Hope that you
Hope that you
Hope that you

I hope that you listen
Hope that you listen
