The 1st track of the Illmatic tribute, Elmatic, “The Genesis” finds eLZhi delivering a blistering verse over Will Sessions' recreation of Grand Wizard Theodore’s “Subway Theme.” eLZhi’s choice to rhyme over the track was motivated by his lingering wish to have heard Nas rhyme on the original album i...
[Intro]
Yeah, we make it realest
We doing this without a record deal
For real
[Verse]
Yo, it's Elmatic, shouts out to the homie Nas, son
Words from the wise one, make both your eyes run
Red with blood like Gogo Yubari
You barely throw jabs with your vo-cab-u-lary
My punchlines knock niggas the fuck out
Still earn block figures, cop triggers and duck droughts
The flyest, and I ain't just being biased
In Hebrew Elzhi is one with the Messiah
You just a virus, a fucking disease that
Infects geeks your techniques ain't nothing to sneeze at
I'm much sicker, I crack the seal on a dutch sticker
Split the blunt, roll it back up and lit the front
Then wrote a classic, to bury you below the casket
Picture that like it's photographic
Fuck your chain with your logo crafted, you just a follower
Your mother shouldn't of had your ass, she should have swallowed ya
Like bottles of pills to overdose
Only to leave you comatose to wake up as one of Jehovah's ghosts
I been mean since the age 16
From long range could rearrange if we exchange 16's
As far as spittin' bars I'm on the level with the stars
Devil tryna tempt me with the bezels and the cars
But I'm too swift with the true gift
I knew if I put a line down you'd sniff
Blew spliffs in the park, guns spark
Niggas running from the narcs and animals that bark
It's more crazy than a picture by Martin Scorsese
Instead of y'all starting wars, praise me, fuck y'all
