[Emcee(s): L.I.F.E. Long]
[Producer(s): Bunty Beats]

[Intro: L.I.F.E. Long]
Uh huh. Innergroove. Interlude. Yo, yo, yo, yo

[Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long]
Whoever said hip hop dead ain’t get the memo
I been brought it back years beyond retro. Still
Rocking loose cargos, North Face, and Polo
Less blunts, more raw paper with the Fronto
Independent, Cocoon Movements CEO, head honcho
Bunty Beats whip up a track, like, pronto
I’m pouring flows. Get your umbrellas and ponchos
All-Star, stellar performance, we’re crushing your show
Tell the promoter after we’re finished, “Cut the dough.” Profits/Prophets
Split between teams like Res, Upfront, and Paro from
N.Y.C.’s backstreets to Glasgow’s Scottish
Yard, we hit the hammer to the nail, grind hard
Work ethic: stay on my job, crafting bars. Liggy
The Blacksmith bang out steel with hammers. That’s
Me when my pen hits the paper, pulling capers, all-
-nighters. I’ll be around later until the wick
On the candle starts to dwindle and the wee morning light
Starts to twinkle. Another day’s moves made over
Coffee and bagels. Lay low like bottom Legos
The fallen angel climbing up while my feet attached
To anvils, trooping on a narrow path, avoiding crooked
Angles. Obstacles got us still like souve-
-nirs on mantles. I’ll bomb a Bunty Beat like graff vandles
Get my name off on a higher limit, past
Y’all average hating, following-trend rap critics. Fuck
Your censorship. I’m “Parental Advisory” sticker
Explicital, got a middle finger up at industry exe-
-cutives, motherfuckers who sign artists with talents
Lacked. Enough is enough. Too much of anything is
Overkill, so I’ll mildly feed my ears
The fast tunes. These corn syrup, soda pop emcees, we
Shouldn’t consume their junk food rappers. God
Bodies headed for doom. Their sugary raps give
Listeners diabetes, immune deficiencies
Kids need alternative choices more healthy
Their minds destroyed by the images on TV
Fiction and pipe dreams, yet we call it “reality”
Enter the tainted world of entertainment
Mental enslavement. Media tells half the story and
Changes it, rearranging the arrangement of what your
Eyes see. Mind fools body with deceit, lies
And trickery (Uh huh) Mind tricks the body, body...
