Versus Verses

[Zae da Blacksmith]
I'm back in the saddle / so go on social media tell em to run and tattle / cause the Blacksmith's back with the acolyte in the booth / y'all been waiting for a new one like kids with a missing tooth / I still squeeze the pen Apologist on the drumpad / still rock the stage looking like somebody's son's dad // these kids at the show wanna listen to some fad so the headliner's sporting skinny jeans with the bum sag / we promote the letters from Paul Mark and Peter / got a thing for timeless things like expired parking meters / I lean toward orthodoxy / so I'm swinging with the cross whether doctrine or boxing // Christcentric records got new stuff dropping / y'all don't wanna sleep on it like a bed bug boxspring // Apologist amalgamating a concoction / he's packing in the place man he's bout to make the cops come // he needs brakes for peat's sake somebody stop him / but the man's so stubborn that's not gonna be an option // rocking wifebeaters slapping up the sample so abusive // so I'm mashing up the track with what I spit like a juice stick // if a lot of dudes is bananas with their music then Apologist a fried plantain of producers // yea ok you can say maybe Zae's got a bias kind of like a BLM supporter's report at a riot / what would you expect we rep the same set that's my nickel / that mean he's top 5 on my list that's my people / he writes all my bars cause I don't speak with an accent / yea that's my ghostwriter don't believe me just ask him / don't confuse him with another rapper when you meet and dap him / and don't approach and ask if he's Evangel or the Blacksmith / he's like a surgeon on the MPC / kind of honoree I mean honorary PhD / with a doctorate to practice / the dondada in the game with the didactic tactics / we follow Christ the Alpha Male though He got a lot of haters till they bow to the crown they gone look like clowns //

[Apologist]
They call me the acolyte / attack on sight if you rap but your raps are lacking Christ / I play the track ride the rap then call Zae da Black / get him to state the facts and charge him and flare the tax / he's nice cause he bites all my rhymes like a piranha / every line he recites is acolyte propaganda / I've been making beats since '93 from hot vinyls / digging in the crates in the DMV with Doctrynal / you can thank me for Zae he's a heck of a poet / the only reason that I signed him is so he don't get deported // he comes from a long line of very short people / you can find Zae da Blacksmith at any Home Depot // he drops an album like every 5 years then disappears then reappears / what a challenge just to get him to accept the invitation / had to bribe him with tamales to rap on Amalgamation //
