Illmac – Raising The Bar 4
LYRICS:
I’m transforming like autobots
The GOAT at my worst, like air Jordan the rare moment his shot was blocked
pen w unleaded in it, Head w a Hemi in it
They Go together, Henny and a spliff, Envy and a critic
Jealousy and bitches, Enemies forgiveness
Auction off the business, that means Anyone can get it – Let me be specific
I tippy toe between friends n foes, those who need incentive just to live the code, guess we got different goals
Switch approaches, felt a Pain in my chest my vision froze, then consulted w the angel Of death under missile toe
Life’s a bitch- but while u bitch and moan, I middle finger fuck her bet that bitch’ll moan, Switch positions – pick n roll,
This redemption, Time and space life’s the Intersection,
God is Love, love is light, ego’s Misdirection
So What u staring at, huh, what u staring at?
This Chip on my shoulder weighs a ton go head n carry that, yeah the truth is ugly homie I’m aware of that that’s why I only look at myself In fear that the mirror cracks
I Take u to the era where the Arawaks are buried at Breath life in their lungs n give em their bows n arrows back
I’m Done w mirrors like Aerosmith
will of a King, heart of Peasant, mind of a Heretic
I’ll be forgotten n buried w Native American heritage
Embarrassment, barricaded in arrogance, Bearin a burden and…
barely make a dent like my parents did
Lose em all chasing the carrot, get there n have no one to share it w it
Life isn’t fair and it’s periless, I’m Bearin witness, unless u wearing this pair of kicks, dead the comparisons or parish w em
Uh,
I been scheming on some ends, feeling underestimated, Willie Beaman off the bench,
What I get from you’s returned- how i treat u all depends
Gotta see me at my worst- to receive me at my best yea
I’m Trynna go from this metro to a testerosa, had dreams of getting over, found the edge was closer
Cut the grass for snakes, that blade behead a Vulture
Barrel smoking Shoot an Angel Off the devils shoulder
The bread that u work for has a guilty stench,
what’s clean money? u either dirt poor or filthy rich
So Don’t ask abt Wars we can’t afford to be in
Til Flint got water I can’t bother w a North Korean
That’s like Giving up your rights to Assure your freedom
Or Deporting people who were here before the Europeans
Like taking land w smallpox as an offering
Movin natives to reservations then callin em sovereign
No, callin me Conscience, dawg this is common sense we on the same side of the fence like a Con and a Lawman
Chanting Mantras w Brahma, bonding w Elijah Muhammad, Seen past lives n pallbearers Hauling my coffin
Learned my soul was the ghost n that my body was haunted,
But Before my Body was gone, my thoughts had Long been departed
took-ayeuaska w Shamans talked to God in the Garden read Upanishads w Prabhupada he offered me knowledge
I don’t have a soul, I have a body
Cause I AM a soul, that has a body, that’s life embodied on earth
If the beat has some soul
soon as the sample load I catch a body
then add it to my Body of work
Let’s work—
