This mic is scared of me, son It's like I'm gonna rape it Ason in my heart... I date rape mics, my mic's a dike Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo Don't be afraid to call my name Don't be afraid to call my name Don't be afraid to call my name Don't be afraid to call my name I've been blessed by the scent of cathedrals, I'm regal royal Spoiled, I sleep with paralegals And tongue kiss lawyers and cops, buy a pound of chocolate Off the block, then I puff with the NARC's My Clan's wild cannibal, Wu, and my man'll shoot Blaow, leave your cold grippers mad with the saddest truth From banana head chunks, propaganda pumps Leave 'em buried on the Staten Island dump Tap the mic on the floor, chains to the Mighty Thor Two blades on my arm, look like the God of War Ason in my heart, yeah, I like it raw Words in the apple, I'mma bite it to the core Digitech, used to call me Prince Dynamite Cuz when I blew up the set, you couldn't find a mic Leave your ass in the dark, you can't find the light You been wrong so long, you can't find the right Way to speak, I spend a day on the beats Then a day on the paper, then a day on the beach Then a night in the sheets with fine wizzes, dime wizzes Who don't waste time to get straight down to business Zig Zag, make your girl catch a whip lash Tried to look when she seen the God zip past Money stack high up like a skyscraper Fly shorties getting stuck to my fly paper Now we march to the monument You see the seven in the star on the amulet? Don't allow negative in my circumference You can't understand, son, you incompetent The P is free, would you fuck for a million bucks? Keep the steel concealed, in the wheel of trucks ShaCronz put the rhinestone on the rims Timbo King put the rhinestones on his Timbs We live this life each and every day We all trying to make it a better way If you miss the words that I say Hit pause, record, and hit play I'm backed by a beautiful strong wiz Bless all to the Earths and all the kids Long live the God Divine and Big Free Young seeds and great kings
