Spose shows through his lyricism that he has definitive rule over the state of Maine. As far as rapping goes, at least.
On August 10th, 2013, at the KahBang Music Festival in Bangor, Maine, rapper Hopsin brought crowd members up for a cypher battle during his set. Spose blazed the competition using...
[Verse 1]
Yo, I wake up, make a K-Cup then I blaze up, shave with a razor blade
My hat is still crooked, I'm reading a book and my body was made in Maine
Man, I'm still deflecting all the bill collectors and I hate when they say my name
My buzz would be massive if I wasn't slacking and jerking to Jayden Jaymes
Celtics sticker on the bumper of a clunker but my vocals real
Fuck rap, I might sell my mic and buy a snowmobile
I can't relate to throwing money when she makes it clap
I can relate to doing dishes, we should take a nap
Tired like Michelin of your wrists when they're glistening
We don't want no yacht to float but just a boat to go fishing in
Man my whole yard is a minor mess, go hard till my dying breath
Owe bars to the IRS, we got no Rs in our dialect
Me and my peeps speak a different kind of speech
Where Verizon 4G won't reach (Can you hear me now?)
We're coming live from where mill towns are still towns
Even though they shut the mills down
[Hook]
But I'm feeling like the King of Maine, the King of Maine
I wear a seal-skin jersey to the Sea Dogs game
I'm the King of Maine, the King of Maine
Plow truck all gold, never hydroplane
I tell em: Welcome to 207, welcome-welcome to 207
Welcome to 207, welcome-welcome to 207
It's the way life should be, everything's pleasant
Tell 'em: This-th-th-this is 207
[Verse 2]
Hey, I heard the news in the street (What's that?)
That we're the shit and you're the pubes on the seat
Even though I triple bogey that par 5, Rangoon with my mai tai
Steal another motherfucker Wi-Fi, got Texas Pete on my Five Guys
I'm back, facts: spit a little bit but I never made a gat go
"Cap, cap, pap," but my backpack on and I'm smoking
Being homeless is bogus, paying bills is my motive
Can't afford G4s, I'm poor on tour in a worn '04 Ford Focus
Ayup, I know that this weed might be the death of me
But I got this O broke up like it's parentheses
I'm yelling "ayup," I weigh a buck forty still
But when my finger tips touch the quill, I'll be feeling like I'm
Paul Pierce and I'm Rondo, I'm John Deere and I'm John Doe
I'm the rap star from the back yard who never act hard or went half-heart
I'm the Peoples Douche, AKA the truth
Every time that I get in the booth, I'll be feeling like
[Hook]
The King of Maine, the King of Maine
If you're Batman, I must be L.L. Bane
I'm the King of Maine, the King of Maine
I got Susan Collins giving everyone brain
I tell em: Welcome to 207, welcome-welcome to 207
Welcome to 207, welcome-welcome to 207
It's the way life should be, everything's pleasant
Tell 'em: This-th-th-this is 207
[Verse 3]
I'm from the 420 minus 213
I'm on the throne if you're looking for who to unseat
I got moose blood in my goblet, lobsters in my optics
I'm live on the map where the dudes don't rap in the Altima black
When I do go past, come hop in, whoo! Find me chillin' in Rockland
Where the townies sell Oxys so the coroners got coffins
It's my fault I'm paid, because of what I say
I rock it for a profit, pockets fat as Paul Lepage
Got a tattoo on my arm that says "Don't Stop"
‘Cause other guys told me otherwise when we talked
I told 'em Wells, Maine what the sign say, where I go ape with my primates
Rhyme great, 16s like 2 times 8, wine grapes and prime steaks
Damn, I'm feeling marvelous
Had a hand with no good cards in it that I parted with, I'm an artisan
I think you're an amateur, kids, cops, janitors
All pull out their cameras when I walk out of Hannaford
[Hook]
The King of Maine, the King of Maine
I got a fucking elk head hanging on my chain
The King of Maine, the King of Maine
And all the state game wardens yell my name
I tell em: Welcome to 207, welcome-welcome to 207
Welcome to 207, welcome-welcome to 207
It's the way life should be, everything's pleasant
Tell em: This-th-th-this is 207
[Outro: Spose & Announcer]
Watching the Celtics!
Pierce, final seconds, Pierce puts it up, for the win
Ohhhhhhh!
KNOCKS IT DOWN, CELTICS WIN!
WOOOOOO! C's BITCH!
Dwyane Wade finishes on the bench, as Paul Pierce, with a superb game, able to hit -- now the officials will review it, but it looks like he clearly let it go before the buzzer, and the Celtics will take a 3-0 lead in this best of 7 series, big play by Paul Pierce
