Now I know, fools get their own when they chit chat
Haven’t heard yet, but you can bet I’m not with that
With that talk, with the digi-walk
I stalk a bird, you heard, absurd word to the fact
I’m a cat nippin’, sippin’ on the flask
Pa**in’ it, talking s***, but only if your a**
In front of me รข??cause you could run from me, but
In the end, revenge send ends to the defendant
I can’t get caught in the spiral ’cause every bit of energy
It goes to my survival, out my way
I’m a flicka-flacka blotter, ya try to find a weakness
But the s*** keeps gettin’ harder
[Chorus]
Fourth of July, with Lucy in Sky
I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors
I was nineteen, I’d do anything
S*** like that now scares me, but I’d like to do it again
It was Independence day
I’ve seen the other side and I say
Oh, I’ve been insane
And I won’t ever be the same
‘Cause we flow we must be fly
First to flow Nickel my brother, so wise
And then I rise
Here’s an ill kid, pimpin’ ’cause he is so slick
Steps from darkness, his body electric
A drone buzzes the air, a cracklin’ tone
Then boomin’ like thunder in a cosmic jungle
Death defyin’ like Knievel, he feeble
Words that will wobble, awkward and evil
‘Cause he flow and rock the hardest of the crowds A marvel pow, how you like me now?
I’ve returned, the kiss of death, the last Damien
From the abyss, fresh eternal alien
Now famished from pathless way, I may do damage
To the whack MC’s, I know you can’t stand this
Right about now, get down, I’m the annihilator Rockin’ with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator
[Chorus]
Yeah…
