I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
The sport called the rhyme
The—, the sport—, sport called the rhyme
I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
The sport—, sport—, sport called the rhyme
The rhyme, the rhyme, the rhyme, the rhyme, the rhyme
I jam on anything I am on
About to blow like I'm tryna keep my hands warm
God MC, I came in a man's form
When I return to dust, it'll be a sandstorm
Tell the people the Master got plans for 'em
Pour a little liquor when I know my man's gone
Over broads, I'm never tender
With love, I force MD's to surrender
Ancient remedies that my gramps will remember
What I rely on, I'm a king like Simba
The people's agenda in my heart
Serve rappers à la carte
You playin' yourself, you shoulda never got the part
This is hip-hop theater
In Broadways, I direct over meters of
Music, I'm the man, I'm the media
Landed on the planet like the Rock of Gibraltar
My altar call is the call to never alter
Ain't shit sweet, I'm the salt of the earth
Since the birth of the Nation of Islam
That taught me to eat to live and to get calm
We keep shit fluid like it's embalmed
88 set 'em straight like I'm Lynn Swann
It's pentatonic the way that I be bendin' phonics
It was written like I'm livin' in a sonnet
They marvel at me like I'm in a comic
Iron sharpens iron, man, it's ironic
I—, I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
I—, I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
I—, I—, I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme (The rhyme)
Black your third eye with every word I spill
You can't understand that I could just kill
A man, an MC without a plan
In the heat of the moment, still actin' like a fan
Just cool out (Just cool out) and listen to me
This is Malcolm X-ray vision livin' through me
The unruly, unapologetic, unashamed
Brainstorm rains from flame that's of a reign
My book of life has the color of change
Underrated, like Steph, I discovered my range
Thinkin' long in the Rover
In general, it's only so long I could soldier
Helmet of salvation, power pads on my shoulder
Third Eiffel Tower that'll never blow over
The more I grow older, the more I be sober
Minded what rhyme did to find culture
Criminal minded, you know I'll find it
Whatever school I'm from, this is my assignment
Timed it to be timeless and binded on Earth
What's loose in Heaven right now is this verse
Through adversity, some niggas will disperse
I'll add a verse and show a nigga what he's worth
Pete Rock is Spock, I got the inner Captain Kirk
Don't try to hit the streets, this is real men at work
I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
I shine—, I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
I shine—, I shine—, I shine and rise at the same time
The mastermind of the sport called the rhyme
The rhyme, the rhyme, the rhyme
