Holy Moly

I give you intimate details so you can get to know me

You rap your way to the top but now it's gettin' lonely
There was this one gospel record I liked like, like
Sometimes hopeless people fill my thoughts with evil

Got him on respiration, that's pre-Badu
At the Mixtape Awards niggaz act like they don't give a fuck though
Rest in peace to Shaka, 21 gun salute
Rhymes turn a new page like Mark Foley

Like holy moly, I might get some religion and leave you holy, holy
I find hope inside a line, my rhymes define opus
Hangin' out at The Gavin, I was very lucky
Funk, jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, you know what I'm sayin'?

You're still here 'cause you're livin' through me
But don't nobody want your jewels 'cause your shit is phony
What the blood claat? No, let the blood flow
You're not a player or a pimp, money stop that
Kids is hungry and you lookin' like a steak from Nick & Tony's
Started out skatin' for Zoo York, word
Yeah, this rhyme is so fat, it's roly poly
Rappers keep peddlin' sweets, the beats weaker than gelatin
These corporate rappers like, "Why this dude pickin' on me?"
Rest in peace to Harold Hunter, the greatest from New York
Professor X and Proof we miss you, word
Too many good niggaz die, it's like a stop loss
Bet you Garnett Reid got a Matt Doo tattoo
Hood niggaz ghetto like fried wings and hot sauce
Rest in peace to Dilla, Weldon, we can't forget you
How you hard? The cops lettin' 50 shots off
And disrespect the legacy of Justo
We used to kick up dust, now we settlin'
You ain't come to pay your respect, then what you come fo'?
Heads up, eyes open, I got my mind focused

Say word? Your shit is real? Damn, your shit is corny
Learn to master your speech and be eloquent
To talk to Rash' once I got past Derek Dudley
Head above the water, I always remember headquarters

And touch kids like when Larry Clark gave the part to Chloe
Baby Jay-Z's with the knockoff Scott Storch beat
Sometimes I feel like I'm drownin', I gotta tread water
You are not Short, you are not Katt

In the air like blak, blak, blak

My record so hard it broke the needle
