Lead single from "The Rough Sketch : First Draft"
Boston Strong in the eye of a beautiful storm
lyrics
-----1st Verse-----
*Need airplay cuz I mean what I say
like a priest on stage when he speak King James
* Harriet Tubman / free from the cage
releasin the slaves / with keys to the chains
* talkin subliminal can’t hear the slang
write hieroglyphics / you can’t read my name
* won't leave the game / I bleed from the pain
walk in my sleep knee deep in the rain
*state troopers know / to pull your parole
cuz rappers snitchin the rules and the codes
* revolution sold / for the fool’s gold
boss ain’t the boss /so who's in control
*complete Frankenstein / I eat with my guys
break bread then have a feast with the wine
*buy Jesus piece / can’t buy peace of mind
ice on your watch / trying to freeze time
* seek you will find, / the secrets I hide
it’s seen by the blind / peep with 3rd eye
*my philosophies compete with Einstein’s
MC squared / I’m E redefined
------2nd verse------
*mean what I say /and I say what I mean
If I want the crown,/ I’ll take from the king
*If I want the belt ,/ I train in the ring
If I want you healed, I’ll bring the vaccine
*What is my brain trying to say in my dreams
hallucinating like a cocaine fiend
*paint like my child when she tracing a scene
draw outside lines don’t stay in between
*that’s unconventional / rap game terrible
tax on your principal/ if you owe revenue
* Educate fools/ kids, stay in school
I’m making the rules / and breakin em, too
* manipulate suckas,/ friendly with enemies
Of my enemies haters hate on each other
*Speak from the heart right hand on my chest
grandma passed away as she slept
*wept for my man / took his last breath
said don't cry he's all set for death
*Makes me think on life twice a night
Tell me son, who write like Mic Nice?
------3rd verse------
* State of my union / addressing the public
With unspoken topics, sensitive subjects
* inmate are gutted / with shivs in the stomachs
I Answer to God / critics can’t judge it
*scripts get published,/ it ain’t a paperback
it’s a hardcover / in laminated wrap
*illuminatin raps / from Hollywood Black
dice games only time that I take crap
* cops plant crack, the kingpins are rats
behind enemy lines, must make it back
*blood spills in the city streets / Middle of
the East Coast similar to the Middle East
*think so deep minutes turn into weeks
life is a picture puzzle missing one piece
*I’m marked for death, like MLK
El Che, Ghandi, Malcolm X, who next?
* cuz if you a leader, / they’ll kill you like Ceaser
flawed masterpiece leaning Tower of Pisa
*rap Mona Lisa / this picture is perfect
abstract portrait / you should interpret
----Chorus-----
*wise men never dumb jewels infinite
fly with a bird’s eye view, y’all picture this
*so intricate, flawless design
no imperfections, God is devine
*Rhyme after rhyme, song after song
See what I see in the eye of the storm
*say what I mean, and mean what I say
get things twisted, I’ll set things straight
