Dispel a curse at adversaries for their minor deplorable tactic
Diverse as planetary alignment and orbital patterns
And origin matters when the story switched from inglorious bastards
In their 40's, all of their trauma's poured in the taverns
This warrior's calisthenics, the source of your aneurism
I check in, I'm boarding, you see the forces of magnetism
Martyrs for the cause and this ain't no corporate activism
ILL since you were still on the porch and more a fanatic with it
Ammunition burst of the cannon shots
They are the sacrilegious, this establishment like the churches of Antioch
They merging in this lane but them niggas swerve from the antilocks
Around me for their purpose and then the verses get plagiarized
They up against pillars, what the fuck? we accustomed to building
In cities where children growing up faster than Hutchinson-Gilford
Come fuck with the illest or catch a slug in your tibia
Facing secret indictments because its drugs in the literature
Fuck you mean nigga
Like I ain't have the city buzzing
When none of this shit was popping was international plugging
Fuck you mean nigga
Like I ain't have them niggas changing their verses
Calling the studio, headed back 'cuz they bludgeoned
Fuck you mean nigga
Like yall wasn't biting off of the illest
Throwing your spin on it jocking my live show
Fuck you mean nigga
Like I ain't give you the resources
They badmouthing the God and they lead with their eyes closed
Blowing exotic like I'm in the tropics instead I'm in Fislisbach
Robbing environments niggas toxic like bisphenol
With vivid thoughts after we hitting a spliff of the lemon skunk
This in the clutch, I'm plotting to rock Morocco to Senegal
I been a don, they hate like Israeli do Palestinians
Treat us like Mussolini invading the Abyssinians
Muzzle the banger, we back for the dividends
And nigga I cover the basis, my new testament like Acts and Philippians
Mister fictitious out of his mind, body and hell
Thinking is ILL really the nicest? that's Y Equality Self
And even though you know the story of grace embody it well
Til the suckers get envious and the whole comradery fell
I put a rapper on who talking spicy, they couldn't sell McCormick
Metal to your pelle pelle, a shell in the self absorbent
They tellers, informants and overzealous conformists
Karmic intervention put you fellas in front of the pulpit
Fuck you mean nigga
Like I ain't have the city buzzing
When none of this shit was popping was international plugging
Fuck you mean nigga
Like I ain't have them niggas changing their verses
Calling the studio, headed back 'cuz they bludgeoned
Fuck you mean nigga
Like yall wasn't biting off of the illest
Throwing your spin on it jocking my live show
Fuck you mean nigga
Like I ain't give you the resources
They badmouthing the God and they lead with their eyes closed

What What
The black shogun, I'm Sakanoue Tamuramaro
Embody the elder mind of the Ainu, land of Hokkaido
The Afrocentric Asian, the Jomon, the Zhou and the Mongols
Who mixed with albinos and the mulattos, the findings colossal
Denying the roots disguised with homogenous populations
Phenotypes implying the truth from moderate observations
They excavating the south and central Asia
Combatting the fact, undoubtedly black and it's not a popular conversation
Genetic factors show what they lack in deficiency
The handcrafted ceramics intact from the aborigines
The black man mastered the planet through tragic iniquities
Inland and coastal travel they had to fathom for centuries
The migratory, providing stories lost inside of your Montessori
Publics and charters all for the vibratory
For the people I kill and pillage 'til its peaceful
And when I die bury me in the village of Kurisu
The last sentence from my Sifu no men can defeat you
I've been seeking revenge for my mentor to cleanse my mental's evils
Near fatally wounded as a gentle breeze blew
No medicine just squeezed some lemon in the mizu, thought I was Sen no Rikyu
My genetics is equal to Sakanoue's
The shoguns complexions a copper shade, I'm like Yasuke with this katana blade
When my life passes just light matches don't even plot a grave
Provide my ashes to the tides that's crashing from Osaka waves
Ascend new heights, tengu flight, poison like tenchu rice
Social buzz drinking Oni blood to quench my electrolytes
Pay respects with the incense you light, custom temple rites
Ōishi Chikara before seppuku with the tempered knife
Hokkaido where the Ainu tribe was from
They outlawed the language they spoke to silence their tongue
The riots come in pitch black, they attack when the night is young
Then the bandits divide the slums, new land of the rising sun

Yea, this for all the niggas that's solid
For those that never diluted their value for the almighty dollar
For those who kept it a hundred with me at all times
And to the bad hands that folded on us
Embrace it all
Yo, Investing my heart in a lost cause got us all disgruntled
They disregarding the architect talking with lost rebuttals
Living in modern jungles, this war with metacarpals 'til carpal tunnel
Never barking, I rather pull than caught in a tussle
This like embarking on the arctic tundra, spark the ganja
Smog produced when mixing the forest with the darkest funnel
They often pummeled, my aura to fraudulent niggas is awkward, subtle
Like a slug won't be lodged in your stubble
What if you built a foundation that started to buckle
Suffered due to betrayal from your brothers that part'll discuss you
They all comfortable being disloyal that's when dishonor becomes you
We take it as far as London to Brussels
I grew a following before algorithmic numbers
Before the metas, before the twitters, before the tumblrs
You gotta love it how I branded them, taught them hustle
Let's take it back to the blacktop was balling in Russells
