Lord Finesse
Paradox (Clean)
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the paradox, swervin' in the metropolitan, I keep it hot
Breathin' weed like oxygen, it never stop
I felt the rush in the vein, since a younger n***a on the block hustlin' change
It's a money thang, gettin' high after the cash green
Fatal thoughts of dyin' slow, stuck in a bad dream
Damage and destiny, feel the cut like a guillotine
Fillin' my system up, Amaretto with nicotine
Driftin' on a memory, askin' what can it be?
Tryna surrender my inner demons, losin' my sanity
Hustle by any means, the cream seems so appеalin'
Mad blocks flooded with rocks, somebody save thе children
Punks be wantin' static, crooked cops be causin' havoc
Faggots flashin' badges, my n***as flashin' automatics
Runnin' through a maze, lookin' for the phase that pays
Seen many rainy days, it's like a paradox

[Chorus: Samples]
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this

[Verse 2]
Face off with destiny plus the system be stressin' me
Stack the chips fast, questin' me for the recipe
I'm tryna see equity, life harder than jeopardy
Hands wanna feel a mill, the rest in me so let it be
Crazy sinnin', hopin' God ain't forgettin' me
Remember street corners watchin' out for informers
Check it, it's mad hot, even warmer than a sauna
Feel with too much tension, shawty's thick, I put it on her
Blaze L's of hell, excel from all the drama
At times I wonder, how much longer 'fore I'm a goner
Thug relations, bigger plannin' in elevation
To move the nation, fillin' clips to bless Satan
I'm losin' patience, waitin' for n***as in the state pen
Ghetto life trife took the lives of many great men
It's no mistakin' procrastinatin', never hesitant
My other half ass, I've buggin' out ever since
Relentless, droppin' juice, some think it's senseless
'Cause it's kinda hard to witness, it's like a paradox
[Chorus: Samples]
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this

[Verse 3]
Steady clutchin' dutches in the mix to avoid a ruckus
Walkin' the pavement, wear the [?] so bust it
Cats disgusted, watch your back they can't be trusted
The thugs love it, bought up on necessary roughness
High [?] totin', shit be potent to keep me chokin'
Rhyme calm but like a time bomb, highly explosive
Creep in the alley, dressed in black, you never notice
Raid your squad then I'm out like hocus-pocus
Aim higher, lock it down 'fore I retire
Stay cockney, crazy low, the game's wired
I analyzed it, double checked it to perfect it
Some cats respect it, had to bless it then Lord Finesse'd it
You can't fight it, my head was spinnin' in adrenaline
But representin' from the boogie, you know it's on again
My flow's toxic, I bring it to you like a prophet
They hit you and they get you droppin', it's like a paradox
[Chorus: Samples]
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
'Cause I'm dangerous, I come real with this

[Outro: Samples & Scratches]
If you can't walk the walk ('Cause I'm dangerous)
Don't talk the talk (I come with real with this)
If you can't walk the walk ('Cause I'm dangerous)
Don't talk the talk (I come with real with this)
If you can't walk the walk ('Cause I'm dangerous)
Don't talk the talk (I come with real with this)
If you can't walk the walk ('Cause I'm dangerous)
Don't talk the talk...
