More colorful than Kelis naked
If one of us ain't free then we all to blame
The system that's based on trying to stop you from shinning your light
Here we go
I got my own so I never stress his no
The same artist who smoke rain forest and bang hardest
My brain smartest break a nigga like a lame promise
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness
I rock for the purists and I rock for the players
Even Big Tigger wouldn't let you in 'The Basement'
We taking over like Moors in Spain there's more to gain
Take game farther than the put-put planes charted
I rock for the elders and I rock for the babies, yeah
Face it y'all niggas face down with your legs kicking
Kweli I chop it up like raw cocaine
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
Behaving so casually that they become a casualty
And there it is
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness
Your skills is least debated and your album least awaited
Plus they don't wanna battle me anyway
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burn to thi
I looked in your eyes and I saw the shame
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
Check out the pictures we painted, yeah
You wanna see through that shit then you can call my name
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burn to this
All city like train bombers
Make pigeons say, "Uh uh', no they didn't
Live on the mic even though I've been dying to write, yeah
Runaways get aboard the train come on
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burn to this
No you can't imagine a future where this all can change
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
I drop gems at top ten, I'm not for the fame
You wanna test and I bet you get wrecked like lost planes yo
When it come down like the pouring rain
They call your momma Roy Jones 'cause she raise chicken
Open my eyes and keep the prize within my line of sight, yeah
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness
Y'all don't know that our greatness came before the chains
They acting like what's going on now is distant reality
Stay strong this ain't for the faint hearted
Battling the tragedies and fallacies
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
The cold weather break your spirit like a water main
It's all the same across the board we fall for game
That be killing niggas quicker than infant mortality
Make me wonder why they call Sunday the lazy day
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
Here we go, come on come on, yeah
Say what? Say what, say what, say what
Cats hit the tunnel to rumble and say, "Hey DJ"
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burn to this
They try to walk away but they stumble like Macy Gray
Yo we send this bullet straight towards your brain
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness
You can't ignore the pain no
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
We dying in spite of getting rich
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burn to this
Remain hottest from St. Marks to St. Thomas
Since the days of flying a kite and ridin' my bike, come on
Yes, we did so God bless the kid yo
My name's honored 'cause my style is insane retarded
Seem like that's the ghetto way of tryin' to fight
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burn to this
Caught the train of thought it clanked across the raw terrain
You're 'Down for the Count' like Rah Digga I'm straight spittin'
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
I rhyme to the sirens that cry in the night, yeah
I rock for the fellas and I rock for the ladies, come on
So we attack each other fighting project wars and thang
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
That's why I rhyme like a battle emcee
Now cat's drop out of school to get fiends high on a pipe, word
