64 Squares in the Cypher Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sunspot Jonz]
Heart of a pharaoh, soul of a scholar
Child of the sun living through God's power
Rage of a tiger, you rappers too lazy
Copycat killers, Dimetapp babies
Test tube industry control ya whole society
I already known that the government been lying to me
So I spent most my time in the library
Professor Xavier mixed with Marcus Garvey
Chess moves, what the best do
I jump kick, side flip, then I check you
Like ya names Conrad Murray, not true to the code
How ya Lose ya common sense when it comes to the dough
Never do that, like bust a wack rap
You a fashion design rapper so don't talk about the trap
Too many trying to be someone else
Why don't you have a new approach like be ya damn self
Don't be a clone and be lazy and oblivious to right
Words from sunspot Jonz, Living Legends for life

[Verse 2: MC Zumbi]
Solitary walk swimming upstream
Like a salmon, Bob Marley Jammin
Rebel music, fuck the system
I piss on they grave, when they gone won't miss dem
In my mud walk, carry lightly
Middle path, feel the wrath of my lightning
Strike like Xango, do the right thing
Shouts to Spike Lee, mountains hiking
Like Everest, black power fist
Heads bounce to the strength of the mentalist
Blaze my own trails when my clique bail
Souls we don't sell, words from the third rail
Deep from underneath in dem gutter streets
Where they programs don't reach, still we gotta eat
Each one teach one, be about something
Def and blind ain't fun, on the run dun
Follow instincts that's what God gave
Spit in black ink, hold my own parade

[Verse 3: Rakaa Iriscience]
I don't play either side or king, I play God
Heavenly wars played out on hand-carved boards
Rakaa's many moves ahead, learned to sacrifice to win
Angels share the table with the ones that lived a life of sin
Bishops work the angles, rooks hold the line
The Queen does almost anything she wants: she's fine
And deadly—knights swarm ninety degrees
And potentially the pawn can almost be any piece
Spar with humans, battle Deep Blue innovations
With sacred geometry, the code is in notations
Attack and defend, trying to lock up the throne
I walk alone, but can't change the world on my own
Hip Hop Chess building bridges, connect nations
Grapple then shake hands, it's standing ovations
Check the strategy, respect the ill science
A bloody ballet, a riot in near silence
The poison pawn is bait, beauty in warfare
Yin and yang, 8x8, living 64 squares
