The Dawn (PHL)
Seconds
[Verse 1]
I exploded on the scene with a mean cook, esteemed crooks, Nerds that clean books and kingz that steam kush
I resided on the corner where the cream gush
Tryna get your money up dawg you see the fiends push
Now my education looking like a stream of douche
From what I'm learning in the streets we don't need books
I can take your money off you with a mean look
And still use my last knight to take your kings rook
I'm the n***a that they never seen shook
Moment that the beef cook hit em with a clean hook
I don't eat puss I just bang it off
Don't even sniff coke but I'll slang it off
What are you hanging on? I leave you hanging off
No instagram here turn all your cameras off
And when it comes to the bull I'm a matador
Jabber jaws I be cutting acapellas off
This is what I go to battle for your raw remains
Lifetime scars and corners with morbid stains
Bloody victories washed away with pouring rain
Crime histories and destinies of scorching flames

[Hook x 2]
Ten seconds to detonate (detonate), ten seconds to detonate (detonate), ten seconds to detonate, everybody take cover detonate

[Verse 2]
Red lobsters on a silver platter
Sitting with the dons at the table and we dealing with a civil matter
Everybody get they turn no idle chatter
Cut me while I'm talking dawg, thats a serious fracture
Let's remain cool we all friends here
Anything goes wrong one of us could end here
N***as pulling on their collars shit is getting tense here
I'm agreeing with your point dawg that's what I meant there
Cigarette smoke in the air looking like cumulus
Smoke clouds everywhere and nothing feeling humorous
Beneath the coded speech contraband numerous
Haven't slept in days living like a fugitive
[Hook x 2]
Ten seconds to detonate (detonate), ten seconds to detonate (detonate), ten seconds to detonate, everybody take cover detonate

[Verse 3]
Forced to bathe in muddy waters
Walk streets made of bloody slaughter
It's a miracle I made it cross the fucking border
Out of fascist regimes into struggle orders
Is this the legacy we're leaving for our sons and daughters
I believe in karma so I hustle cautious
You got blood money I reject your humble offer
Freedom fighters but they're looking like some thug impostors
They don't understand how secrets get crushed with torture
And maybe that's a benefit but only in the interim
Eventually is genesis
The body is the temple and your temple is your premises
Send darts that make unauthorised entrances
You don't wanna turn out to be my arch-nemesis
Heavy-handed like cold judges with harsh sentences
Way above par with the art in my penmanship
My death name is Ra cos the margins can't end my shit
In real life I'm Selema that's a precedent
Put it all on paper so you snitches have a reference
Test me to your detriment, make you n***as line up
You running on your last seconds before your times up
[Hook x 2]
Ten seconds to detonate (detonate), ten seconds to detonate (detonate), ten seconds to detonate, everybody take cover detonate
