[Verse 1]
This my chosen method to exterminate the brutes
They already chose a weapon to exterminate the youth
Still a menace with the penning, I exterminate the booth
Every syllable a miracle, just tryna germinate the truth
In middle school, I wanted to rap just like Blu
Wish I could tell Pac I wanted to rap just like you
I was in PE, training to be as nice as Lu
I even wanted a little group so we could move like Wu, but I was too introverted
Now I take that same energy and channel it into verses
I travel through universes, I handled it through the curses
Of persons throwing words at me sideways, when did y'all start doing cursive?
Huh, my verses like a eulogy
A couple words'a put you in hearses, I scribble bars
Form a weapon like a scimitar but this dude ain't Turkish
I'm the duke of verses, I'm too determined
Underground, breaking through the surface, I could never lose a Verzuz
If I'm not the best, then who on Earth is?
Expand your focus, go telescope it, go tell ya whole clique
A thousand lenses couldn't see what my one pen did when I wrote a corpus
[Interlude]
Thousand lenses couldn't see what my one pen did when I wrote a corpus
Huh
[Verse 2]
The true jewels ain't in a pendant, it's in appendix
But that is where the work is, both feudalism and unionism
Tell you to beware the workers, but dudes in prison with true traditions
Taught me more than I could ever learn in churches
Thirty-three degrees got me questioning what's the higher purpose
Them gold coast ghosts was a lot cheaper than having to hire persons
Three-fifths of a whole, you not even an entire person
Got you searching for that four tenth, that's how you know the empire working
It get to exploding when I'm coasting in my X-wing
My crown of thorns like horns got me looking like sin
I heard Hov say "We killed X and let Zimmerman live"
Like you ain't got a bill' to put a hit out on him
The real Hovi baby, run up in France with my epee and make sure they pay Haiti
Kept us in the sun all day, it's obvious how they stay shady
The third world made me, it's oh so scary
How life can turn a Wayne Brady into a Wayne Perry
