Ballad of the Beast (feat. Shad, Len Bowen & DJ Dopey)

It's like

It's like this

Check me out

See, I been puttin' up absurd numbers

'86 Larry Bird numbers

'96 Steve Kerr jumpers

True artisan, they scan the bars like it's Target brand

Bars harder than a bar exam

I'm like J in The Garden, can't guard the man

Timmy Hardaway and Harden with the hardest jams

Since Carter slammed on that giant from the heart of France

Vin invinc', been a prince since a little prince

Old prints, man, I belong with that singer Prince

The '76 BeeGees plus Stevie

Circa '06 Weezy plus Yeezy, whatever era, I'm never scared

And I never care

To be fair I was never fair and I never share

I'm goin' letter carrier (Postal)

Debonaire, the present-day Fred Astaire, 'cept with better steps

Better wear your Medicare bracelet when I get a chair

Boom, Rick Flair 'cept with more flair and better hair

There, I'm rare, user everywhere and I know 'cause I'm everywhere

I'm rhymin' on beats, it's the ballad of the beast

I'm rhymin' on beats, it's the ballad of the beast

Animal track, it hits like a can of whoop ass

I'm a beast, it's as simple as that

Hell nah, I don't want the party to end

I'm glowed up, let's get this place Anderson Paak'd

A trailer load of class bedroom bully on the hashtag

A jazz cat on the run, a gold flask

We carry on like an overnight bag that's Shad and Mr. Bowen rise above

Like Black Flag, something to prove, give you something to get loose to

Old school like that '92 Juice Crew, you can't touch, I'm too boss

I'm too Bluetooth, I cook it up, keep it simple like couscous

My people on the hunt for that analog groove

Dude, I got it covered like Blue Man Group

I brush through my 'stache like Fu Manchu

Ooh, I found a bounce, now you can too

The night is mine, I'm a beast front to back, and when it comes to rhyme

I'm Batista with the bat

I flip it, I swing, I hit it over the walls

Applause, all together we howl like wolves

I'm rhymin' on beats, it's the ballad of the beast

I'm rhymin' on beats, it's the ballad of the beast

Heard I write with insight like hope, souls blessed him

Feelin' light for this life I was so destined

Who make it look easy but it's far from it

He a regular dude but flow's star-studded

Repeat offender, check the rap sheet

Known to make plays that go unnoticed on the stat sheet

My city got they dollars on him

He know Bowen's a killer with them bars, under-promise

And over-deliver

Dumbfounded, I never dumb-down it

Every joint's to the point, these lames run round it

Odario Leonard, Shad K combined, it don't false align

This is what it sounds like when the stars align

Beast

I'm rhymin' on beats, it's the ballad of the beast

I'm rhymin' on beats, it's the ballad of the beast

I'm rhymin' on beats, I'm rhymin' on beats

Beast
