about

no champagne for me. i prefer hibiscus tea

lyrics

this my chosen method to exterminate the brutes
they already chose a weapon to exterminate the youth
still a menace with the penning i
exterminate the booth
every syllable a miracle just tryana germinate the truth
in middle school i wanted to rap just like Blu
wish i could tell Pac i wanted to rap just like you
i was in PE training to be as nice as Lu
I even wanted a little group so we could move like Wu
but i was too introverted
now i take that same energy and channel it into verses
i travel through universes
i handled it through the curses
of persons throwing words at me sideways when did y'all start doing cursive?
my verses like a eulogy a couple words a put you in hearses
i scribble bars form a weapon like a scimitar but this dude ain't Turkish
i'm the duke of verses
i'm too determined
underground breaking through the surface
i could never lose a verzuz
if i'm not the best then who on Earth is?
expand your focus
go telescope it
go tell ya whole clique
a thousand lenses couldn't see what my one pen did when i wrote a corpus

the true jewels ain't in a pendant
it's in appendix but that is where the work is
both feudalism and unionism tell you to beware the workers
but dudes in prison with true traditions
taught me more than i could ever learn in churches

33 degrees got me questioning what's the higher purpose
them gold coast ghosts was a lot cheaper than having to hire persons
3/5 of a whole you not even an entire person
got you searching for that four tenth
that's how you know the empire working
it get to exploding when i'm coasting in my X-wing
my crown of thorns like horns got me looking like sin
i heard hov say we killed x and let zimmerman live
like you ain't got a bil
to put a hit out on him
the real hovi baby
run up in France with my epee and make sure they pay Haiti
kept us in the sun all day it's obvious how they stay shady
the 3rd world made me
it's oh so scary
how life can turn a wayne brady into a wayne perry
