[Intro]
This.. is.. a K-DEF exclusive
Yeah yeah
Lawd!
Knawledge
Uh-huh
Eh
Lawd!
Eh
Look, look
Huh
[Verse 1]:
Look!
When I relapse to the tempo
When I take time; make it simple
‘Til it’s tenfold and eventful
But the man go with a dope stroll
Like I’m Van Gogh, but no vanguard
And a vagabond, the imagine on
Not nonchalant with the orchestras
I orchestrated, I penetrate
And I resonate, and you can't debate
But I'm feeling great, I'm in a good space
I got a cold song, and my system blasts
And my window down, and my mind’ll flow
With that Marvin Gaye til' I'm comatose
I might overdose on that Sound of Soul
With that simple love that you rather hear
I gotta persevere, they wanna persecute
I, said I do this like it’s nothing to me
A cooler composer close the curtain
Cursing, curving the beat up
Personal peak upon some piece
I plead the people believe
In need of the voice of Etta James
So I can drown out the pain, Lawd!
[Hook] x2:
I need to rest, but I got stress on my mind
No longer sleeping
I've been thinking of these pivotal rhymes
I play some music all alone
The tone is passing the time
And, I hear these stories and their lyrics
The energy is sublime
Lawd!
[Verse 2]:
I want that magical, mystifying soliloquy
Send me something that's real
If I feel the seal of approval
Boost the truth
I'm loose and livid
Listening to Frankie Beverly
Amazed the maze
I made the flavor
Forsaken
This shake is Satan
Won't cave in
I came, and I claim
That I was exceptional
Paid attention astutely
By soothing smooth as masseuses
I'm ruthless, maybe relentless
Lament the lesson, the lecture
They lace the lyrics they living
And listen this is by children
That feel alone for an instance
I did, I remember playing
Some Makavelli melodically
Bothered me that the people around me
Don't seem to care at all
I'm in this by myself
With no one to help or assist
I'm convinced to testing these lives
With the music, I'm feeling fine
Now, in my mind, I reminisce
I miss the bliss that I had
I remember ripping off the plastic
From ‘2Pacalypse Now’
You couldn't tell me nothing different
I’m not putting it down
I finally found the love of my life
And, this message is over beats
I beseech the speech
But, I sink
And I sing a song like Sinatra
I'm Johnny Cash
With these stripes on my shoulders
The trains are coming
I'm runnin’, huffin’, but never stop
Because I'm dedicated, sacrificing
Feelin’ so elated
[Hook] x2:
I need to rest, but I got stress on my mind
No longer sleeping
I've been thinking of these pivotal rhymes
I play some music all alone
The tone is passing the time
And, I hear these stories and their lyrics
The energy is sublime
Lawd!
[Bridge]:
I want the music that was real, so I could feel it for sure
I realized that they don't even make that shit anymore
I want the music that was real, so I could feel it for sure
I realized that they don't even make that shit anymore
And I'm just trying to bring it back
To that rapper classic galore
We put some soul inside the sound so they could feel the allure
And I'm just trying to bring it back
To that rapper classic galore
We put some soul inside the sound so they could feel the allure
[Verse 3]:
Look, I'm pushing it to the limit
Pitter patter my pen
I picture the perfect procreation
Appropriation of phrases
I phased the fake with the funk
In a phase, I came to just love
Play a pun to punish them all
With that interlude 'bout the gun
You know:
Packing the mac in the back of the Ac’
Packing the mac in the back of the Ac’
Givin’ a rub on a lyrical track
I bet in a moment I’m bringing it back
And lining the mind in a minute, a minute!
I own it
Never atonin’
I am alone
In love with the music, I'm putting it first
I've literally been immersed
[Hook x2]:
I need to rest, but I got stress on my mind
No longer sleeping
I've been thinking of these pivotal rhymes
I play some music all alone
The tone is passing the time
And I hear these stories and their lyrics
The energy is sublime
Lawd!
[Outro]
Eh, Knawledge, n***a
Uh-huh
Huh, eh, eh
“Music is my heart and soul”
