Dogfight

(Shaolin Abbot conversing with Lee)
What is the highest technique you hope to achieve ?
To have no technique
Very good. What are your thoughts when facing an opponent?
There is no opponent
And why is that?
Because the word "I" does not exist

[C.Shreve the Professor]
It's pitch black in the space that I rap, I switched back...

Bringin form to the formless, shape to the shapeless
Had a premonition but realized what the wait was
If fate's callin your name, you better speak her language
Fluid fluents, being affluent ain't my angles
The bang is all necessary, the boom with the bap too
Runnin with cats that run laps and snap with raps fool
You bashful--well that's cool, but not in my crew
See we go in when we don't even try to
You wanna fly too? well jump off and reach like a jump ball
And all my people just makin these beats say uncle
And really we just show you where the funk threw the skunk to
And 1-2 check your squad they lookin run through
You take a month to do what we do in a split second
The saddest shit is that you still half reppin
Skill set is the weapon, your mind is the target
Been blowin that for years, your heart's the hard market
Play your part, you need to park it, you Peter Park-it
On the web lookin to spark shit, you on some narc shit
Closed minded preachin light, you just a mark kid
(Because the word "I" does not exist)

Chorus x 2
It's pitch black in the space that I rap, I switched back
Not the dog in the fight it's the fight in the dog that fights back

The fight in the dog that fights back...
Right back to the basics, flow up at the apex
Except still risin, got it right now, who wanna play next?
Here to change the way you lookin out like lasiks
Y'all been poppin pills tryna think outside the matrix
The one like Neo, but thinkin National Geo
Outside with that wild shit, fluid as pelligrino
Spittin acid like amino, you flacid just like Pacino
An actor lookin for c-notes, this flow's kinda mean though
Me team know my lean so they ain't really surprised
Shreve gon talk that real shit, you gon tell some lies
I theorize and devise, exercise inner eyes
Within the skies, all these tries ain't minimized
What's your five's grip? that's that real shit
A fist up for the fight, y'all grip a pen and sign a deal quick
Gimme a mill slick and I want my masters
I been had my masters now I'm just gettin faster
Fuck all the actors, fuck all the imagery
Pussy cats feline, I see it in your pedigree
(Because the word "I" does not exist)

Chorus x 2
It's pitch black in the space that I rap, I switched back
Not the dog in the fight it's the fight in the dog that fights back

The fight in the dog that fights back...

See I should focus on a better me and how to let it be
But I don't keep false shit within my vicinity
The remedy for the frontin is give em what they wantin
Nothin but that real, ain't no such thing as humble stuntin
You killed your ego? well that's the biggest ego
Stop foolin yourself like you ain't got no libido
You fuckin up the world just like us, you ain't a hero
In the eye of the cypher you get treated like a zero
Yeah we all in that and you can take your pen back
It was written a long time ago with different syntax
On the air is where I write it and I was uninvited
We got particle acceleration who wanna collide it?
I'm ridin rhythm like a powder day, I found a way
Deep in the trees, leanin back, what's the sound today?
Vibin, and I'ma ride it to the finish line
Get on the mic and grip it like it's spinach time
Pop eyes and punch Blutos, all I kick's new flows
But when you movin like Judo it's hard to get your kudos
Who knows who and what knows when
And all I'm tryna do is take the world for a spin
With the pen I'm extreme and I don't need your airplay
All I do is send what the bass and the snare say

Chorus x 2
It's pitch black in the space that I rap, I switched back
Not the dog in the fight it's the fight in the dog that fights back

It's your summer. Take that shit ransom
