Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Knowledge in the court, observin' what is all around
The light goes up, my mic blows up
The silence is now sound
Hearin' and fearin', the momentum of the stutter step
Shook to the left, because the brother slept
Crept into his ego, so he caught a bad one
Switched my next flop, he thought he had some grip
But my grip is when my fingers curl around the mic
I know what it's like, a dog eat dog world
[Verse 2]
But I'm a carnivore, out on a parquet floor
Whether ballin' or callin' out a sucker who is lookin' for static
Me grab it ever chance I get
One on one, I'll never run shoot the high off the net
This position isn't switchin', pitchin' out a blind pass
Hindsight, my mind's right, time run through the hourglass
Search is my name, the game and my goal
3rd Bass settin' soul in the hole
[Verse 3]
Drip liquid, pick up a park pill
Induce a hand over freeform with this skill
Spills are spun, a crossover break slice
Sugar brother, the pavements says
[Verse 4]
Schemin' on suicide to play post I slash
First step, I shook ya ass
Step to wayside, ain't no weak side
Bassline, and never givin', on the flip side
Grass to a mic, like a hand palm rubber
Roll off a finger, you're gum, I rubbed ya
Sweep like a Knickerbocker, the 3rd stops ya
And after dark, I play the part of book knocker
Twenty-four seven, always out to get some
Slap on a concrete, bleed till my hand's numb
A way of life found, a rim stuck to a pole
An asphalt jungle, sowin' a ho
[Verse 5]
Point is in effect, callin' for a play out
Lay out the plan, but you're scammin' for a way out
Figure of speech, spoken wise for a drum, three on one
You know the outcome
Point up, the joint's up
Straight up for an uproar soarin'
Then you execute the score
[Verse 6]
Then you fade away
This fade has been played
Gave the gift swift, you just got self made
Execute performance, the 3rd step performance
Me and Pete, compete, like sex endurance
Tip on the rim, you reverse and rehearse
Coachin', but you're slouchin', you can't be first
[Verse 7]
You want the rock? But you don't got the handle
I drop the French, 'cause Serch grilled your mantle
Face intense, you're sellin' your soul
Just for the action of soul in the hole
[Verse 8]
Pavement bounce off metal meets human flesh
Slum on sides, stagnate, you got next
Each day evident, parks brothers throw down
On on one, it boils down to showdown
Spins reverb, soothe he goes a rip slip
By his larceny, or petty theft
Spectators move, lips into motion
Pop shit, get hit, the sewer then becomes an ocean
[Verse 9]
Water runs, springs and I let it fly
Slide a weak side, in a vein
Try to terminate silk textures of the fingertips
Three bases covered, as I dip
Deeper into repertoire, the minister, an innovator
Take a sphere and a mic and I'll step later
Under lamps of the Serch, cold
Shootin' lava and is sowin' the ho
