[Round 1: Jey The Nitewing]
Bar Code, right?
As in...Diesel's clique, right?
What's wrong with this picture?
Am I that intimidatin'? Can't even talk wit' a n***a?
I just wanted to talk wit' the n***a
You was doin' all that talkin' my n***a
So how does this go (Sisqo), I'm supposed to kill his dawg, man?
'What These Bitches Want' from a n***a?
This silly to me, but I'm one of one so the n***a couldn't match me
What we got instead?
Kennedy, another n***a who died in the backseat
If you ask me, this ain't really a shot for me
I mean my rise prolly got to y'all
The way I see it you got to me
Emerson...whatchu got for me?
Can't hold precedence on top of me, I'm the king
If I say a n***a dead, n***a this ain't no democracy
Now y'all can be as mad as y'all want to be, we don't give fucks
Under dogs, that's been us, but Nitewing you just can't trust
"N***a fucked up his last two"
Yeah, that's true...so after I 30 this n***a, then what?
How it's lookin' tonight?
Cause if it's lookin' light, blame it on his haircut
N***a you can't-
Aye, Nico, what's the narrative bro?
You know how a n***a show up for you and then his character shows?
It's just like now, I mean, I booked Kennedy but...got Marilyn Monroe
You can't tell me I ain't earned a spot
'Cause n***a, I been earned a spot
Northwest, we backed some of y'all after doin' worse a lot
And you never heard a word, you put y'all n***as first, some kinda nerve you've got
R.I.P. to Slim, the only time we ever said he ain't deserved the shot
This is murder, I give a fuck what you thought it would be
Trust and believe, it's no positives fuckin' with me
I'ma be responsible for another no show, 'cause here come the police
Pushin' n***as back, tellin' them there ain't nothin' to see
I can't listen to a n***a kickin' knowledge just to jump in the league
When it come to checkin' n***as temperatures, I got a fuckin' degree
This ain't a match that you should've booked and this ain't a punch you can read
Every line jumpin'...I show up lookin' to slide somethin'
"Fuck you do that for Jey?"
"....Got a vibe from him."
I really need answers, besides nothin'
What can you say that's finna hurt n***a?
I can trade punches or words witcha, I'm the bully and the nerd n***a
Lee Harvey for real, in every round I just curve n***as
Hold on
Muslim, woke n***a from Salt Lake - tell me that's not what I heard, n***a
I said, "KG, you lyin'. Put that on 4th Quarter."
That shit don't even sound right
What lake you know got salt water?
See, where I'm from it's all water, but sometimes we had no water
You feel that?
They ain't know what livin' by the sea meant (cement), that's why the flow harder
Washington's own, y'all put Kennedy with a forefather
And if Bar Code's ya brothers, well that just means that I'm your father
I'm back n***as, trippin' trippin', like you ain't even got the chores started
I can't call it
Why y'all keep gassin' what they talkin'?
Chuck & Larry inspector: see, all I see is straight garbage
They ain't on this level I'm on
Body count on each fist, no weapon was drawn
Ever since Initiation, they thought a n***a was gone
But y'all know how a G play, I put everyone on
I'm the king
But this the n***a that said we should boycott J's, right? Cause n***as dyin' over 'em?
It's crazy huh?
Boy got Jey's rights and now you dyin' over 'em
And while he die, I'm over him
Foot on his chest so he can see the shoe
Like, "J's don't kill people, bitch n***a...people do
Now eat the shoe."
Stomp him 'til I'm walkin' funny like, "These are new."
I should stomp the n***a out some more 'cause he creased 'em too
N***as lookin' at yo' face like, "Damn...were those 3's or 2's?"
Beatin' who?
I'm the king, pussy, start lettin' it sink in
True king, I took that muhfuckin' stance for a reason
I still feed off the fuckin' hate, so I give a damn what you thinkin'
It's Civil War? Gon' be his last one: call him "Emerson Lincoln"
Don't compare me to no one
Hate all you want, I done seen that
I'm at you bums on Thanksgiving if I give a fuck 'bout yo' feedback
Believe that
Ya pretty boy been dead this the recap
The king back
[?] I'm puttin' that shit on my back
Talkin' 'bout "Hold on" bitch n***a relax
King
[Round 1: Emerson Kennedy]
The animosity hurt...and it's my city worse
This growin' craze of throwin' shade somehow gets lost in my verse
They said the West Coast stalled - lemme show him how velocity work
Cause of me, one day a N.O.M.E....will travel our city first
Don't get lost in the work, I'm not fearin' your negativity
You come for me we come for family, that's my Theory of Relativity
I hate to start with threats, but if they dead in a verse
It's cause I upped the bar how I jumped the car- sometimes you gotta connect the negative first
So it's do' breakin' {claps hands} yo' place
Fo' n***as; Ghostface
Feelin' greedy; no safe
I saw ya TV; don't chase
Or you can choose which type of plasma you tryin' to donate
What happened to yo' faith?
You had this coast crackin', started to do the most braggin'
Back to back then show stackin'
Labelled you our Franchise cause we thought it was "no lackin'"
But then all those chokes happened, proved you had no passion
Jey spit flame at big game, don't close your own casket
All those shots of Jey missin' (Jameson)
Boy, you made that Old Fashioned
You supposed to be toe taggin', keepin' up the race
You know, even up the pace with the East to be the greats
Jey, every time you choke East, the West reap all (Reepah) them mistakes
So why we keep feedin' you plates if you can't lead us to the place
I was ten when the junkie pulled the heat from out the waste
I said, "Pull it if you gonna pull it. I ain't even finna wait."
When they compare me to you, believe it ain't the case
Only one of us froze up with The Reaper (Reepah) in our face
Boy you cheapened up my rate
Stop pretendin' like this
I knew the west in shaky hands when I saw how tender Nite is (tendinitis)
Boy, my fans demand the best of me, but you don't plan your destiny
All that chokin', Yoko Ono
You ruined the band (Banned) Legacy
There's rounds your fans never see, so I'm wildin' on ya man
See you go silent in ya round- Jey I go silent on the stand
Bet a thousand on ya man [?] shit
While we try to chase the truth how Jey displaced this youth and he ain't have a place to choose
You woke up and made the flo' {claps hands}
That to me is amazin' views
I'd rather wake up and make the flo' then not wake up and make the news
And it's true it hurts bodies
Jey, sleepin' on floors was worse hobbies
We survived kidnappings, my first party was search parties
But you battle for the ring, no bed but now he on the scene
How fitting he gettin' buried out in California King
The facts is all I bring
The villain is not my equal
I bring the feelin' to the people
He's concealing that he's see through
You watched the first Fast & Furious started feelin' like a weasel
Tried to start your franchise off from stealin' from a Diesel
You stole my bro's style, that's how you fight coward?
You don't think LA know the difference between Diesel and Dwight Howard?
Hop off his dick and stay off
Call yourself "the king" you way off
N***a, the last time a King came to LA- n***a, we ain't even make the Playoffs!
But I'm Pat Beverley, rap cleverly
Don't speak 'til E's finished Jey, he gets buried under the flo'
He made this bed, now sleep in it
These cheap gimmicks, he's trippin'
How you choke on bars he wrote but he was still cookin'- mastered the art of choke (artichoke)
Do not provoke, I'm not a joke
I only stay where corners be
Where KG hit my phone, I had to pay for some lawyer fees
I paid my rent and album streams
I could've stayed recordin' things, but I'm gettin' money off of -
I'm still gettin' paid of royalties
Jey...you choked versus Riggz?
Jey do you believe in karma? I really hoped you did
Cause karma's stealin' from a Diesel just to choke against a rig (Riggz)
And this is where that truck stop
Don't tell me ya team's strong
Yo' n***a ripped yo' sleeve after a bar I saw a couple things wrong
Cause it's always n***as like him that wanna seem strong
And end up provin' they choosin' the wrong shoulder to lean on
Jey, you can see I brought it all out for you
Brought the bars out for you
You ain't no motherfuckin' killer if the n***a had to pull the arm out for you!
[Round 2: Jey The Nitewing]
I'm watchin' you versus B. Dot
Well actually...I'm watchin' two woke n***as goin' head up, I went back to sleep
You like to talk that real life shit, can't use that shit wit' me
I've done seen things you ain't have to see
Been places you ain't have to be
Y'all figured he'd make it, holdin' cell with the opposite side they tell you, "grab a seat", but all the seats taken
And I ain't gonna keep pacin' back and forth
I approach the throne the same way n***a, I ain't askin' for it but he don't know it
See ideology is just that 'til you do some years for it
See I ain't even from the streets, I just drop my glasses here, I gotta feel for it
I see you, I see fear showin', they just ain't bothered you yet
I got a mind state that my city's crime rate ain't gotta reflect, that's why I'm still goin'
N***as say they'll die for respect, cool on that I'd rather kill for it
See you just follow the blueprint
No matter what environment I was in I never followed the movement
In the age of Twitter fingers, tryin' to follow some new shit
Find out the hard way you was followin' Yusef
But you just wanted to make a connect, right?
I figured, your complexion light
Kids pickin' on you talkin' "extra white" made you the defensive type
But just enough of the tall brush to understand the must to understand your rights
That's all you need huh?
Moved to L.A. for that second life
Battled on SMACK talkin' struggle just to get you hype
That just make you a zoo keeper, you figure if you feed 'em they'll respect you, right?
Like Danny said, you can hang around the tigers all you want to but that won't get you stripes
That's why I can't stand you rappin'
Makes sense they call you "Emerson" all that energy is manufactured
But all that shit you said, it won't work
Cause you always talkin' about somethin' ya n***as did, that's what you constantly said in ya verse
Stupid Einstein, you wanna know my Theory Of Relativity? Get at his relatives first
You know, that's why I be where I'm 'pose to
N***as talkin' in front of the rock, that's why he's talkin' bolder (boulder)
Rip my sleeves, that was cool, how 'bout I take some lean off his shoulder
See they listen to Jey and hear Lucifer, like when you playin' it backwards
Get ya crew ran, end up on a newstand
Fuck what you planned, you can leave tonight with mad love and get snuffed right where you stand
Your pockets get ran out
Before he pass out he hear dudes sayin', "Get that
My bad about this shit EK. I'm a huge fan."
You in the jungle now
The n***as that die here probably hesitated
You moved here
There's n***as that tried to move there but just never made it
You prolly thinkin', "This angle is gettin' fuckin' old."
But you keep actin' like you wasn't told
Can't survive off what ya mother knows
She can't save you touch the stove
See half these n***as, in the kitchen like it's a garden
Plantin' seeds where it doesn't grow
Best case is a FED case and you gotta reep what ya brother sowed
I ain't talkin' 'bout nothin' tho'
I ain't gotta expose these n***as
Watts Riots for real, I can see the hoes (hosing) n***as
That's why my vibe is lowkey
You can learn somethin', I'm not no G
But I was raised in the south my n***a so I can show you the ropes and where they tried to show me
My first collide wit' police? I'm tryin' to tell you I was very young
Shit scared my moms, I came home with knots on my head, but was very calm
I had my hands up but they was still beatin' my ass
Feel like I was chargin' the spirit bomb
I'm tryin' to tell you, if shit went left in the field I was Barry Bonds
And you wouldn't know
I could run through it slow like this a marathon, but you don't know the hustle
You just showed up bro', you Farrakah
This ain't fair at all
Tryin' to act like him versus Dot was Malcom and Martin
Fuck wrong wit' him?
Well I'm feelin' like Luther now
And I hear he got his slime (Islam) wit' him, so we can end that debate right now
N***a with how I talk wit' him
While he inside wit' the piece, hidin' wit' his people I really locked arms wit' him and march wit' him
Puttin' on for the ones who didn't have a thing
So how the fuck is this debatable? When even Dr. was a King
King
[Round 2: Emerson Kennedy]
Y'all like Jey's delivery?
Takes all that dumb time
Say three bars really slowly, movin' around, clean his glasses
Say it a little louder and faster when you get to the punchli-
Black don't Bad Lucc me
That tactic mad rookie
Constructive criticism that shit ass pussy
Factually, care less if he clap quickly
Second round I'm puttin' angles down let's see if he can rap wit' me
Don't act loco to feel me out
Puttin' hands on E to pump up and wheel him out
That mean as soon as you tap heat, yo' cookies spillin' out
I'm chillin' now, the brother trash, his wife get another bag
Kidnapped and turned Jey to Dr. Jeckyl when we hide (Hyde) ya other half
I dispise his punching bags, they get slain where I'm from
N***as chains gettin' rung, I don't chase fame from a gun
But for a band on the side, I might change on the run
Hop out and wait 'til Nite (night) show, put his name on a drum
Is you dumb? This facts only
School catchin' crack on me
I was smart like Lisa Simpson, find the sax (sacks) on me
You rap phony, act holy
All your losses hard to mention
Your card pulled so many times you got a call from Fraud Prevention
Jey is you the boss of henchmens?
Cause you left your pants empty
Ya dad shot 'til cans empty and you southpaw cause gramps lefty
You come from that long line to let down the fam's destiny
Cause everytime you spit you mail it in, that's how I can tell your ancestry
Jey we on sacred land and you gettin' tomato can
These n***as grow seeds out here since birth look like they was doin' the Lego hands
And we heard you takin' stance, so I'm lookin' for the wires
Don't brag 'bout rims if ya BM lookin' for the diapers
I keep my rims 12 inches, tell 'em, "Please put it no higher."
Cause the real fighters train with one foot up in the tire
A pugilist, futurist
I was livin' in a car now I'm a monster, Willy Wonka, I found my ticket in the bars
And I can't fail on the grind, for n***as in jail doin' time
While y'all playin' Heads Up I really got the cell up on my mind
Boy you tellin' all the time
That's the shit I find disgustin'
If Jey talkin' to the 12 that make you a dime a dozen
And I know my moms was hustlin'
She on frontlines and papers
My dad taught me to kick do's when I was jumped by the neighbors
So try harder I'm Skywalker, my bloodlines in Vaders (invaders)
So my punchlines is greater
These are gems that I'm givin' you
I told you I'm livin' proof of God in an interview
To people in attendance, recognize what we listenin' to
Cause when's the last time we actually witnessed a miracle?
No crowd interruptions for the loudest at functions
Too proud to lose crowns to these clowns on no fuck shit
I can rap circles around you and crowd the circumference
I'm not proud we allowed comparin' mountains to munchkins
I had mountains of substance I turned to thousands and hundreds
I put it on my kitchen counter they used to call me "counter productive"
I'm not wit' the fuck shit
Your stories is folk lore
Folk lords and warlords, I'm [?]
A bold chore for your lord to be killed with dull swords
I put Jey body on ice, how I turn civil to cold war?
But not a gun, another weapon
Oh you get stuck in sections
Run this weapon to intestines, he was lookin' for his sections
Jey was tryin' to find his organ, all he had was bloody messes
When the cops showed they said it looked like Jey was discount double checkin'
Went from Utah to L.A. to fake the ganster shit, I'm calmin' them
Don't try to act tough in front of all of these L.A. n***as knowin' you from Washington n***a
[Round 3: Jey The Nitewing]
You ain't no activist just cause "Malcolm X" is ya gamer tag
My bad...I keep usin' X in place of what Little name you have
Since you don't match up against me
Could've kept ya name too but ya had to fuck wit' me
This War supposed to be Civil, right?
That's a catch 22
Actually, it's 11.22 which is why I keep goin' back to the 60's
Now if you seen that show, then y'all already know why I couldn't say "Kennedy"
They keep sendin' these guys
From the beginnin' I wanted to get at him (Adam) but God took out my feminine side
So I don't have an opinion
I just send 'em to God, which brings me back to religion
Where you at as a Muslim and where I'm at as a Christian
What you not Muslim all of a sudden?
[Emerson] Never been
[Jey The Nite Wing]
Fake ass n***a
See it's a nuance between the two and how we actually livin'
Cause you can run ya mouth but I don't buy bullshit I'm actually wit' it
But I guess he had to step in front of the Rock in order for him to actually get it
How's that for a difference?
But time will tell you, the struggle different
Like when you do time in jail
They don't see how I'm free now cause my mind is still
I was 17 years old my n***a, I learned about a nucleus inside a cell
Like I said, time will tell you, cause it's difference how we be movin'
I'm sure you got roped into the same system them people them people usin'
Like I'm supposed to be Muslim cause I'm black, that one preachin' useless
Our people never needed more religion we needed solutions
See I had an old head tell me on the inside, I had a real moment of clarity
This when my arrogance was still growin'
At first it wasn't that, he wasn't in the car we was in so we don't know him
Had to get a feel for him
Turn out he ain't have no runners on the outside and my n***as commissary- basically we had a deal goin'
And between the motions, he ran up on me like, "Look youngin'
I don't know where you from and all but inside sources tell me you too bright to be in here wit' us."
I said, "I'm just tryin' to do my time. Honest
I don't need no lecture. All my shit together."
"That's your pride talkin'. That line you walkin', pitchin', bangin', robbin' n***as. What? You get high off it?
I don't see no benefits of it besides these walls."
I said, "That don't define me at all."
And gave him the same "system is rich" bill that you guys balk at
He said, "So what? System is rigged. So fuckin' what? You just gonna try to survive off it?
God gave you hands and size so in yo' mind it's what God wanted?For yo' life to be a literal fight? Ain't this system designed for it?
Can you look yourself in that tin pan that they nailed to the wall and want you to use as a mirror and really tell yourself that 'I fought it.'?
Or at least be man enough to admit you could've made it out of this shit but you ain't wanna put your mind towards it."
I said, "Look unc', I ain't hearin' that shit
I'm outta here in the 6 and I ain't leavin' no punk."
He said, "Nah. Just America's bitch."
And ever since, I see the dark in a different tint
That's just to give an example
Cause n***as act like that polly life is all slippers and sandals
They don't know about the hurricanes
Windows borded, lights cut, shit n***as can't handle
N***a my first date was wit' my grandmother, the whole month we had dinner with candles
My hunger different
See down there ain't no Muslim n***as
Go a week off eatin' shit off the trees, I throw you some pigs feet and tell me you ain't fuckin' wit' it
I'm not these other n***as
Cause see I don't gotta front wit' it
Scratch Bar Code out like I'm tryin' to walk out the front wit' it
N***a you should've cancelled on me
Ain't a man alive who can stand before me
Put ya mama in all black, this time it ain't a Panther party
No answer for me
But some of these n***as, they don't wanna believe tho'
They don't still don't fuck wit' my style, fuck it I guess I did steal it from Diesel
I got options n***a
Nah, but n***as already know this ain't equal
"Nah, but EK an alien." "Yeah so is Marino."
I said this 3-0?
But nah, y'all don't see though
All jokes aside you just represent the struggle y'all in to get notarized
I mean he humble as fuck, y'all want him to win, shit so do I
They respect you cause you woke, I respect you enough to close ya eyes
So after tonight-
[S.O. Finnese in the crowd]
What the fuck was that? Did you just spit?!
[Jey]
Like this shit was a test
You know I was gonna make a rebuttal n***a
N***a I spit wit' Finesse
{Entire crowd loses their minds}
[Jey]
I got more. C'mon. Y'all ready?....
....King
[Round 3: Emerson Kennedy]
Jey there's some shit I've been actually stressin'
But I don't run off rumors so let me ask you the question
After that choke versus Reepah Rell did you not takin' the grievin' well?
Forget a man's only as good as his word and that's not what ya secrets tell
Cause don't say ya home state threw a battle to build there
And you no showed it when they was celebratin' a man in a wheelchair
Call him "Wheels", right?
Tell us what that feel like?
I mean Washington, y'all watchin' him?
This who we backin' in real life?
And now I got it out for him
Cause only fuck n***as will vouch for him
Ya man couldn't get off the chair and you couldn't even make it off the couch for him
You never manned up n***a?
After Reepah's Mack truck hit ya?
You left him waitin' at the event to realize that he's more of a stand up n***a?
So how the west feel now?
His stocks soarin' but that jet fuel sound?
Means ya career headed for landin' when you let Wheels down
Name's "Wheels", right?
That's how a vet' feel clown
Who you choosin' to neglect?
Jey the truest in the west
Don't move like you and it's a bet cause our word is our bond, but for you it's just a check
I don't need the promo, Derek Jeter logo I'm too into respect (Re2pect)
You was chokin' vs' a Riggz
Showed out vs. Madface
Choked against versus Reepah Rell
But then no showed ya last place
So what the man have to say if it stick every time yo' can' blast away?
You wanna 'Walk This Way' knowin' you the Jam Master Jay (Jey)?
Ya man just passed away, after them clear classics
Then it's pure madness cause ya pen steer backwards
Boy you survived the Ether, but ya train here matters
Jey's (Jay's) 'Takeover' is one hot battle every ten year average
But he blowin' up and shit
Jey loadin' up the clips
"He's the northwest Geechi"
How? When you ain't showin' up for Crips, n***a
I'm just blowin' up the truth
Jey you know it's nothin' new
You'll believe in karma once that same wheelchair showin' up for you
I know I'm like the best cause I'm chosen by the west
And it only took a day to take you over Nite (night) success
This the west
Where guns test, bodies on front steps
I know you live by a creed but come flex get slumped next cause I gotta creed too (Creed 2)
No movie with punch sets
I'm talkin' imagine how mom feel when she discover her sons death
That's a crazy feel, she can't hear it, it made her ill
But Jey you know if moms won't listen, what made you think a baby will?
I'm a Navy SEAL, statements real
I've done numbers in all ammounts
A wavy n***a, KD Twitter I root for me on all accounts
But before we up and bounce, Jey let's talk checks
This why when you watch an EK battle YouTube will recommend a TedTalk next
I don't just wanna punch I wanna teach you
Jey don't let these n***as leech you
I know you and Norbes hit it off but never rushed to make a sequel
Cause it ruins the original, small plates he was givin' you
You chokin' on bird food wonderin' why you stuck in the chicken coup
Jey cause patience is a virtue
You lack and let it hurt you
Only rememberin' 30 seconds spots when you was tryin' to go commerical
Cause you was tryin' to go commerical, now them same n***as will curve you
When Norbes used to be your go to
How many times you "yessed" a battle you should've gave a "no" to?
How many times you woke up screamin' from that dream Norbes had told you?
And how many times they end up chances when you realize they had hold you
N***a, I had to say, "I told you."
Cause you was the best out
Then got sick out east and wanted to come back to the west now (Nile)
You a virus to a Midas
There's something I had to mention
(What was it?)
You said you was a car mechanic when you battled Fixx
That's why I just laugh at the stare down
I see through the makeup you wear clown
Only car mechanic can keep chokin' and not keep a spare round
Don't ask me to battle more, unless it's a couple bands or more
That's like askin' JC, "What's all this Traffic 4 for?"
