Rap Alchemists

[Intro Sample: Excerpt from The Alchemist Audio Book]
The alchemists believe that if a metal were heated for many years, it will free itself off all its individual properties and what was left would be the soul of the world. This soul of the world, allowed them to understand anything on the face of the earth because it was "the language with which all things communicated."

[Verse 1: Azrael]
We musicians with no instruments
All we got is our lyrics and the mics in hand
Some be sick off the top, some be ill with the pen
While I do it for fun 'cause I'm really a fan
A few of us left, We a dying breed
And for what we stand for we could die and bleed
Stand by the creed, Never let the soul deplete
Even when we go down we won't admit defeat
The passion in the heart is so hard to delete
The desire to succeed will sustain the heat
Write lyrics to connect and to feed the need
Every time a sick sample get aligned with the beat
This is Hip-Hop for the mind and the soul
For the rich or the poor, For the young and the old
For everybody listening while the lyrics are told
We them rap alchemists who turn metal to gold

[Chorus: Azrael & Ilohshix]
Turn samples to beats, Turn words to poems
Turn nothing to something with a microphone
This is medicine, This is food for your soul
We them rap alchemists who turn metal to gold
Turn samples to beats, Turn words to poems
Turn nothing to something with a microphone
This is medicine, This is food for your soul
We them rap alchemists who turn metal to gold
What!

[Verse 2: Ilohshix]
Hip-Hop had been flowing in my bloodstream
Since '03, First rhyme wrote; Untamed
Unchanged, The passion is still here
Still battle rhymes, Sticking emcees to wheelchairs
We keep it real here, As real as Azrael
We still bangin' like the guns of Israel
We love rap, We don't sell it for cheese
We align these lines for your mind's fatigues
We rhyme with ease, Do rap for the mind and soul
While these poor bitches do rap for dime and gold, check
I write about the 'bitch getting killed' music
While you write about the 'size of your wheels' music
You write about papers and stones
While I write about the pleasure of breakin' your bones
It's the same like turning metal to gold
But I turn the fuckin' mic into a weapon I hold

[Chorus: Azrael & Ilohshix]
Turn samples to beats, Turn words to poems
Turn nothing to something with a microphone
This is medicine, This is food for your soul
We them rap alchemists who turn metal to gold
Turn samples to beats, Turn words to poems
Turn nothing to something with a microphone
This is medicine, This is food for your soul
We them rap alchemists who turn metal to gold
What!

[Outro Sample: Excerpt from The Alchemist Audio Book]
They spent so much time close to the fire that gradually they gave up the vanities of the world. They discovered that the purification of the metals have led to a purification of themselves...
