[Verse 1: Zach Lost]
Figure i'm probly the last figure you figure respond
Last figure you figure could rhyme...
Last kid who will kill wit a syllable
Rip it up into individual bombs
Slip it into your subliminal
KRS when i'm killin it with the mind of a criminal/
I'm the last figure you figure could hit with the impact of a pack missiles
Packed in the back of a rental
Packed in with pressurized gasses and chemicals
Counted down on a digital watch, intended to more than just put a dent in you/
Bend the space time continuum then continue to
Enter the past just to put an end to those who invented you/
Figure i'm the figure you figure to say "figure" instead of "nigga"
Just did but i'm sick of nigga, nigga, i'm sick of you/
Sick of your fam, and your clan of amateurs, kickin the can
I'm vandamme kickin the trigger switch, to trigger the blam/
No prints from the hand, no finger to figure out
I figure the finger'll find your face, followed by five in ya' mouth/
Yo, i'm buggin, i'm must be suckin that helium
Speaking so high, and thinking that what I'm spittin i really am/
Bout convincing as lance armstrong on a 10 speed
Needle sticking out the point of entry, claiming he's been clean/
I been mean on the mic since i was like 16
Inventing 16s pristine as walls of the sistine/
But hard to argue that any battle i might win it
But even harder to take the title if i'm in it/
Harder than arguin white privilege in a village with vikings who might pillage
Or stereotyped white women in white linen, listening to Michael Stipe singing night swimming
They're moms rocking high waisted tight denim/
Every time that I bite?… venom
When that i write? …kill em
We are not on the same eye level, cause i'm different/
This isn't my attempt to go after artists
It's not tryna save hip hop, just proven that i'm a part of it/
Y'all in line for the throne, but i'm stepping out of it
Nobodies the best so the crown and throne are just counterfeit/
Heads are spittin for reps and to get their names on
Tryna take a swing, get attention and get their fame on
They must wanna win, kendrick made 'em rush for the pen
Yeah? ...but all i heard was crickets for trayvon/
...y'all actin like now your makin some history
But it'll take more than some records to make you the king of anything/
… i'm just a teacher so y'all supposed to be killin' me
Instead i'm teaching a lesson for free… and that's elementary/
