lyrics

02:: What It Is
verse 1:
This is dedicated to my peeps & plus them rich kids
To them earths them ghetto queens them honey dips
To the real mc’z them rappers & them nitch bigs
To those creating making moves & those that ditch dig
To the laymen plus the pious plus the mystics
To y’all who think living in ignorance is bliss it’s
Dedicated to those who slept last year and missed this
Which is a little something new from the brother who hitched his
Sights on the art’s form never shifted
Let me rip this… new heights new plights watch me flip this
So ill with my skills yo! Call me sickness
Let me kick this with a quickness pass my clip it’s
Time to shoot this gift & make you think that it was Christmas
This is what you will find on every B-Boy’s wish list
Fat rhymes that I finessed with a slickness with a swiftness
I can’t resist this Urge to rock a microphone I know my style’s exquisite
Plus prolific You don’t want to skip this flav delicious
Everywhere I go they be like Yo! This is the Ish kid!!
Intricate rhymes twisted tangled like 2 tongues when you be kissing
Blowing minds this ish is dope I need a hit give me a hit kid!
This is what I do to chase the wolf away he’s vicious
What I do to put food on my plates and dishes
What I do to make some loot then buy my fishes
Is what I do when this existence feels malicious
Is what I do to pass the time the clock is ticking
Is what I do cause hip-hop’s life and I’m a live this!
Is what I am cause hip-hop’s life & that’s what this is…
verse 2:This is dedicated to my peoples out enjoying
These lyrical type contortions verbal potions it’s important
See without you supporting we’d be aborting dreams & be ghost
Like Patrick have to resort to measures that would not be flows
That’s magically acrobatic or sometimes even spastic
But tactics that’s drastic imagine the havoc
That would render this life so dramatically tragic
I ain’t trying to see that of have it so
UNIT-e knows we need those Latinos Gringos & Chinos
Negroes & Ginos to be bros.
Amigos & peoples then we goes
To the Next levels… Like we s’posed…!
