Light Around

Verse 1:
You see...an emcee who's unbelievable hypnotizing your mind like Biggie rockin the
Coo-gi...it was all a dream til I woke up and got it no my life is not a
Mo-vie...there's no camera no light just action
No script no acting
Who's he...that's a very loaded question, I reveal more with each record
Listen dissect it, peep the dialect it's
Flow precious whether it's deep or no message
I got a passion and the knowledge to spit
Now that's love and hip hop in real reality kid
I'm dialed in on a rotary phone
I been around couple times I'ont joke with these poems
Slam like onyx carry a chip like robotics
Got more dogs coming for dope than narcotics
Do more in the background than plain view
So you see all say but not all I do
It's kinda hard in the era of the online
Perform for your peers cuz every minute is showtime
Competing wit their page, bummed about your life
Cuz there's no filter when you live it the whole time
It's raw and uncut, and steps to progress could move slow like loading dial-up on a phone line

Verse 2:
Took my dreams off the mattress
30 years I'm bound to be classic
Don't see no competition on the atlas
Not an actor might leave with an actress
We do the song and dance she say I have no chance
Because she don't ever date rappers
I say I'm not a rapper I am M-C
You don't want me this is just practice
Won't lose no sleep I'm just asking
But you walk in wit your nose in the Aspens
Matter fact see snow in your nose take a hike
I don't do that there so I'm packing
Only dope I put into the mic
I am the only dope you need your life
Take a hit then pass to your friend
Won't do it for the love least do it for the likes
Wait a minute put your phone down live a little life for a minute
Marvel at the way a brother write for a minute
Forget any other rapper's alive for a minute
Get high off a line like a kite for a minute
High off a line wait a minute
I was talking like lines that I rhyme wait a minute
Can we stop with the drug metaphors for a minute
They keep coming back like crack now I'm finished
No more no mas I'm done I promise
I kill the beat it's dead it's obvious
No need for C-S-I I got this
Confession there's no need for sirens
I strut in the precinct all quiet
Don't touch me or there's gonna be a riot
It's a long walk like Jill Scott said
We could cry to blues or just be silent
Or we could speak up
Ceiling is roof when I reach up
Hmmm we all need to be locked up or kicked out
But don't call back when you need us
My bad new phone who dis?
New kings new throne who dis?
No I ain't spend a home on the wrist
Just gems in the dome that's it
JSWISS I'm gone

Chorus:
Do...you...wanna feel a vibe (yessir)
Do...you, let it take you high (yessir)
Do...you...feel the rhythm of the night (yessir)
Wanna feel a vibe (yessir)
Let it take you high

Verse 3:
Do...you, really think I'm out here tryna OD
Poppin pills slumped in booth all session while I'm dealing wit depression you don't really know me
If you dealin wit depression you should put the pills down and get to know you
Listen to an honest man or woman who talk about and write what they really gon do
If you a man you should listen to a woman and all the B-S that she daily go through
If you white you should listen to a black man how he feel when a cop say don't move
Everybody shut up and listen that's real talk
That's why I got the thoughts and lyrics they kill for
Had to flip the beat so you hear it the same heat and the spirit
A slight change of appearance the same face when you near it
Look me dead in the eyes they ain't come for the beef
Then it must be the fries
Shoot I'm part of the problem I can't even deny
Every woman got a horror story can't even lie
Every man heard a red flag ain't even try
Then we hear about a rape and look for a reason why
Then we wonder why they got 9-1-1 but don't dial
We love to role play and put the victim on trial
We need to do better for all of our women
We need to do better for Kalief Browder
You could have a badge or an office
But what that young king showed that was real power
If I spit a bar per day he was locked it would be a double album, that long
How about that, real life bars that could help you get free from a trap song
