On this a cappella track, LTtheMonk uses a free verse structure to discuss his place in hip-hop and Monk origins. He also takes the freedom of the spoken word form as an invitation to fully explore every thought, with a heavy use of wordplay and metaphor.
[Verse]
Did you hear the outcome of the hearing?
Or were you too busy clearing
Out puss from your infected rusty earring?
Hearing aids will be donated
To everybody in aid of fully comprehending LT
Who's so ill he says "hear hear" to AIDS
'Cause trading for that shit would provide some relief
Oh and hear ye, hear ye
Monk hereby declares that if you don't hear back by the end of the kicks and snares
Don't let it scar you like my back
It's by the by
Come back when you're better
Set it straight no bi's
See you later no byes
Back into the cypher and we'll go again
Spin it back like memories for old friends
And then
We can really see who's getting crowd backing
Kickstarters and backpacking
Battle rapping before we're back packing
Bags in the supermarket
'Cause mark this day when I state
Only one of us gone make it
Like the game a strict teacher marking
Tired of the coffee stain markings
And the smiles masking
A need to go home and bask in
The love of the S&M wife with masks on
So he only gives 1 pass
One assist
Say it in a bad way like we hate big beautiful butts
We ass-ist
Oh there it is
That American twang again
But Wu-Tang my friend
That's the only thing imported that's important
Generated Gentleman Wizard
But for my genesis I needed something a little different
Became the Monk
But generally I think I am a Gentleman Wizard
A wizard with the words
Gentle with the curves
Exercising my right like what my genitalia deserves
To write until there's nothing left
Exercising my right as I write with my left
LTtheMultitasker
On multiple levels, I'm always coming harder
But that's why I'm here right?
To come from not, where I'm from
But where I'm at
And help you where you at
By sharing my surroundings, my streets, my trees
The paint job I got in the Monastery
My friends and family, Wray & Nephew
My blood line
Spill so much of my heart without knowing my blood type
So don't expect a transfusion
Fusing all my red wine with beats at communion
Getting bread then I'm dead
Not dead like Zed
I don't wanna fuck niggas
I just wanna help them
Matter fact help everybody
First and foremost make music for most
Matter of fact for everybody
And I wanna give my bread to every body
Still broke at the time of recording
So now let's focus on the former
Ain't gotta sign a form to receive my aid
Just be informed as to when to turn on your hearing aids
And I'll show you why I'm here
Yeah I'll show why I'm here
