RUFUS

[Verse 1:]
I've been Soul Khan since I was a tenth grader
When my membrane was about as zen as Eren Yeager's
Now I set flames in the inkwell like Larenz Tate
With a pen game that ain't no center's Dekembe'ing
If you're acquainted with what's dope, I'm your favorite
If I'm not, that's an oversight, ain't it? But that ain't no surprise
My generation was never trained to keep hope alive
So my flow is like a wave illustrated by Hokusai
One of the Cohen tribe
No, I ain't Lyor
People love Steve Jobs
And sleep on the stevedores
You're just a firecracker trying to act like you're C4
Lil’ homie, you're just keeping my seat warm
You trying to Mr. Cooper with me?
Y’all too rudimentary
I’ll put to you gently
It’s like I’ve got a pseudoephedrine-boosted
Super human memory that I use
To view a loop of every move that anyone could ever use against me
So I gotta Enron 'em
Drop a Gem on 'em
John McClane with the lighter, climbing through the vents on 'em
Never been on Flex but every line is still a Flex Bomb ‘em
Fuck it, FBI special agent DMX on ‘em
(here we go again)
'Cause these days, the bar's lower
Than the blades of a lawnmower
Ain't an adjective to capture me, dude
I raise the curve like a capital U
Up in a Mars rover, bumping Mars Volta 'til the stars nova

[Hook:]
I feel like Rufus on that grain free
Superhuman, I’m Akuma if you play me
It ain’t cheap but I paid the price
If you pray tonight
Say another for anybody who ain’t me

[Verse 2:]
I feel like Rufus on that grain free
Oh, you’re cooler than an AC?
Cool, I make a flame freeze
Make a blade bleed
And make ‘em change Genesis so it says they made me on day three
When you listen to Soul, you get a feeling
Reminiscent of when they turned mold to penicillin
And those who never built what they own just get bewildered
‘Cause what I wrote is etched into stone in every pillar
And a lot of y’all have been supportive
But the woman in my corner is the brick and mortar
So if you think that I would push my business forward
Ahead of my Mrs., you are misinformed
Forget a bullet, I would take a fucking missile for her
Being a man's more than not getting killed
Like bringing my half when we got rent and bills
But I guess I just deal with it like Tek and Steele
‘Cause I never ran and I never will

[Hook:]
I feel like Rufus on that grain free
Superhuman, I’m Akuma if you play me
It ain’t cheap but I paid the price
If you pray tonight
Say another for anybody who ain’t me
