Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm soul brother uno, Black from the future
Make beats on the table if I break my computer
And still make hits like I used to
Keep your top five, I'm God's favorite producer
Sixteen bars of pressure, no metronome
Thinking outside the box, that's a better zone
So many ideas, it's coming out the wazoo
It's only one of me, can never do what I do
Past, present, and future, that is timeless
Been a lot of things, but I never been rhymeless
Drums like scattered showers when I rain, man
Giving you food for soul, that's the game plan
Tears for fears, a shout to all my peers
But I never ran out of all kind of ideas, I said
Tears for fears, a shout to all my peers
But I never ran out
All kinda ideas
Let's go
[Verse 2]
Rack focus to the black Moses
That's light skinned, a dawn like when the night end, the multi-hyphened
My stipend is ripened, from Chi to Big Apple
On the mic, I'm Micah Parsons, any subject I tackle
And grapple with wack dudes
And school **** like black schools 'cause they lack rules
**** mad 'cause I know that cash rules
Everything around me, except my mind
The underground found me, and depth I find
On the railroad, I unjail souls like Harriet
Spitting chariots of fire through the wire
And live barb fences
I murder MC's, some say that it's senseless
Bomber like a winter coat, though I've been in the trenches
Known to go for it like fourth and inches
Move the chains, I maneuver through the game
My thought? Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train
Foes came, sporting fake smiles like dentures
Them monkeys been programmed, at them, I throw wrenches
Hunger for the game, your thirst never quenches
You search for mentions, I unearth dimensions
These are adventures from Avalon benches
The real hip hop, Com came to his senses
Extensions of a man, the master planned for years
For me to bring to the world
All kinda ideas
