This is the intro to Atlanta-based emcee Alex Parker’s sophomore mixtape, Nobodies
Coming in over an alternate version of Beyonce’s End of Time instrumental, Parker sets the tone for the rest of the mixtape by re-asserting his presence after the conclusion of his debut mixtape, NowhereVille.
Back from the future
I dented up my Delorean
Floored it fast forward
Had to see just how my story ends:
Fans banging my door with more force than midichlorians
An "Alex Parker" sign atop a 40-story building
Damn!
Crazy what the limelight can do to a man's complexion
"But do with it what?" I pose to the future a question
But, seeing this is passion in addition to profession
My stress level's so much less than
Let's start the session
The Mighty A.P
Gin-B on the boards while I slay this beat
McWhatTheFUCK is going on?
Yea I see that throne, but I'm in my zone
Bout four blunts strong, five times better
Musical brainstorm, please enjoy the weather
With a chance of showers as I grow these flowers
Buzzin off of my music, hope you pollenate
(POWER)
King Parker stepped to the table
(POWER)
Here to verbally 'viscerate
(POWER)
It's my 2nd go, and I'm feeling great
(POWER)
Yea, the brake's off
(POWER)
I'm bout to take off
(POWER)
My diesel's like all you haters' grapes
(SOUR)
And, uh, what team is 'bout to proliferate?
(OURS)
Yea, and all opposers are to be devoured
PARKER
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
No, no, no...................-bodies
