Verse 1: Still spitting who ready for verbal combat/ artist steady selling their souls when signing them contracts/ not realizing they bout to take everything that you done/ the music now just needs that heart like John Q son/ hear I come with a new one/ I made a promise to keep it honest and I won't break it like inspector Lee to Su Yung/ lyrical bullets flew from the south where it all started/ knew it would be cold days since best friend departed/ them cold hearted cops still brutalizing and killing us/ knew it would keep happening because they never feeling us/ I know they fearing us that's why they lock us in prison cells/ for prison sales see main targets are the Black and Latino males/ still at it I'm fully awakened/ stepping up while weak rappers still scared to make a statement/ while critics debating tell em sit back while I devour this/ they say he nice but talk to much of that Black Power shit

Hook 2x: Swinging my lyrical sword/ no emcees who do it for the art anymore/ they want the money and the fame but the message is what I'm in it for/ cause my people at war music of the mind

Verse 2: Kick it over melodic and rhythmic patterns/ stayed number one while they the second largest like Saturn/ destroying our brains dumbed down music for dummies/ became a lion now roaring like 1920's/ feeling like Mitch after they took Sunny so giving up I refuse/ brutally honest more beats I abuse/ these infinite jewels showing artist how to be a light through the mic/ just play your cards right like Yu-Gi-Oh duels/ I never follow industry rules still I'm excelling/ they call you crazy when you give em that realness like Ye on Ellen/ yall on radio glorifying drugs you be selling just telling on yourselves/ record labels letting talent sit on the shelves/ never under media spells I'm non robotic just iconic with these verses I deliver so well

Hook 2x: Swinging my lyrical sword/ no emcees who do it for the art anymore/ they want the money and the fame but the message is what I'm in it for/ cause my people at war music of the mind

Verse 3: Intentionally they shifted the paradigm/ left our minds paralyzed promoting negative vibes/ I've been in meetings where label executives come around/ and say you'll be a star just water your message down/ kill your own kind while we resorting to crack pedaling/ this how we shaped in the environments we're embedded in/ word to Wise Intelligent we could go far/ there's certain groups in this society who really want us right where we are

Hook 2x: Swinging my lyrical sword/ no emcees who do it for the art anymore/ they want the money and the fame but the message is what I'm in it for/ cause my people at war music of the mind
