lyrics

[Intro]
I spend a lot of time thinkin' all the shit I’m thinkin'
Motherfuckers wonder why they never see me on weekend
We ain’t in the same pool fool, now peep the fucking teachin'
You shallow - Battle cannonballs into the deep end
By unpopular demand
But what I been through’s what I wrote through
I cuss, fuss, but courteous as fuck when I approach you
This album's an outburst
Some criminal, some political
None minuscule, I been a tool
Synonym for I been to school
But I just kept dropping out
And now I’m now I’m dropping in like, like, like

[Verse 1]
Battle up!
It's time to get this fucking monkey off of my Black
It's funny that I never seem to make any money off of these tracks
My prerogative is prerequisite
First set the temp, next pen the script
Then run through it, run through it, one run just won't do it
After that, to the lab, mic a nigga up, he free to jab
Put a choke hold on the woes that's on my mind and on my soul
And whip up raps, attack these track from front to back
It's no wonder that it's no fun to Pat
It's too simple, drunk on the Jack, I'm too nimble
Too quick, stupid
If you can convince me you sick
I promise you I'll dive dick-first into a pulpit full of toothpicks
I'm a pit bull with a loose grip on my human pet, my monologue
He know the language, I hold the anguish
I'm dope as fuck, he kinda raw
I don't mind the awe, I don't find it odd
I know I'm a riot, that's why I’m so quiet
When the bar is set and I bench that
They all know they can't bench Patrick
I'm out of my cage, and out of patience
In other words that’s malpractice
You shitty rappers all oughta meet up at the mall, practice

[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they said I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
You keep on, probable cause for me to get my creep on
Slip into your sheets and pee on the pillows you sleep on
Your dreams can be serene as a scene that you plant a tree on
I convert buzz into nightmares, I've never seen a light year

[Verse 2]
I was born on the set of a porn with a set of horns
This human life is boring, thus I'm seeking something foreign
So I'm in hell with infidels, face fuckin’ Satan, alternatin'
Any demons try escapin’ we chase 'em and fuckin' rape 'em
Hallelujah! Renegade angel
The reverend in this church, not a feather you can touch
These black wings whisper different psalms above my palms
Yeah it sucks to wanna be sharp, when you also gotta be clutch
Will the rhymes impress 'em? Keep 'em second guessin'?
My impression? That's irrelevant
We in the same room, you don't see that fucking elephant?
The damage done to my fellow nig? Shit, it’s irreparable
So explain to me how a rhyme of mine upset you bitch
I dare you to
The fuck I'm witholdin’ got me emboldened, I'm feeling golden
Homie I'm rollin' up both of my sleeves
I'm ready to roll up on any MC who can’t
Parlay that party into the melee as they say
So tell the White House Mayday! Let’s spray ‘em down with an AK
Just fucking around y’all, JK
This is me in my heyday, no time or place for no nay say
Believe, I ain’t even afraid they
Could mislay my display as simple play, oh no but it ain’t
Miscalculatin' my reverberation is a mistake
So misconceptions, spread 'em, accept ‘em into your rectum
I mean it, like all the way over
Bend it like Beckham, just for a second
Don’t sweat the technique, you can’t defeat this fresh freak
With your best heat on your best beat, on a blessed day
I’m the sensei, what does sense say when it’s speaking me
Previously, in the United States we were inferior beings
What does that mean?
Given the steam that I bring when I swing at the machine
What could it spell?
Aw well, hell, look at a rebel rebel

[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they thought I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
You keep on, probable cause for me to get my creep on
Slip into your sheets and pee on the pillows you sleep on
Your dreams can be serene as a scene that you plant a tree on
I convert buzz into nightmares, I've never seen a light year

[Verse 3]
You couldn’t swallow the diabolical serum
'Cause your antidotes are bogus, too easy to engineer ‘em
I took a break, but I’m a rap addict
Now I’m back at it like a crack habits
It’s haphazard, my bad manners
Make bad rappers straight crap pampers
I’m the answer to what the fuck
You get when you spit and don’t give a shit
I ain’t limited none, this shit ain’t no fun
It’s work, and I’ma work you
Yeah I may sound like a dick, but picture this, it’s just the tip of it
Full of contradictions, yeah you don’t know the three-fifths of it
So Call Me By Motherfucking Rap Name Nigga!
Apologies, sometimes when I decompress, I’m kind of a T-Rex
‘Cause I sho’ ain’t opening doors with this flow that I’ve composed
With this in your face prose you either decode or detest
So pass this shit along like it’s AIDS in the eighties
I ain’t trying to be shady, already shaded in baby
And to have the shade I’m parading
Will make you fucking go ape, G
But this rap shit’s like 8-bit, too easy for me to go ape shit

[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they thought I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn

[Bridge]
Uh, I’m also an icon living
I’m lyin’ - I’m more like a bright star dyin’
That’s why my shit shines as an artist, think about it
All we do is give you contrast to the darkness all around us
And go boom!

[Chorus]
'Cause this is fucking it, what they said I'd never make
Now I'm gonna go ape, smash these rappers like grapes
King Kong, sing along, yo team strong? Bring it on
You ding dongs'll be gone, so long, with no re-spawn
You keep on, probable cause for me to get my creep on
Slip into your sheets and pee on the pillows you sleep on
Your dreams can be serene as a scene that you plant a tree on
I convert buzz into nightmares, I've never seen a light year
