Lyrics
Uh
Ollie Twist
Ha
Yo
Used to rock Boss Gear and Hugo Boss
Fill the shopping cart like an art regardless of cost
Stay fresh itu0027s best to just let it go
Michelangelo, impeccable on microphones
Head back to the lab at night, in another zone
Beats constantly on my dome wonu0027t leave me alone
Off Main Street, yeah you know that I rocked the show
Every single time, with the rhymes thatu0027s cocked to go
Jordanu0027s on the toes, yet Iu0027m sporting a different hood
Throughout the neighborhood, keeping the flavor good
Five star chef, Japanese steel, garlic fresh
Another recipe I had to get off my chest
Created this hip hop dish, no easy thing
Calculate the reasoning, incorporate the seasoning
Legal pads, marked up in Sharpe ink
Itu0027s takes a deep mind how I darkly think
Artsy, man donu0027t even start even start me
Got me throwing lines like Shaq and Chuck Barkley
Keep the levels riding from here to the island
Itu0027s wild, peace to the golden child
Yo my rhymes are sharp as Japanese steel
Yo my rhymes are sharp as Japanese steel
No hooks on this one baby itu0027s all lines
Experiment with lyrics and watch them combine
Back in u002799, we started a dynasty
Dipped the Dodge Spirit, smoking and rhyming
On top of the whip the paint all chipped off
Looked like the mark on the dome on Gorbachev
Alpine face unit, glowing looking great
My CDu0027s always scratched so I preferred the tapes
Magnetic, music pulled me from athletics
Always in the studio like extra credit
Peep the movie font credits on the back sleeve
Track list on the tombstone sequenced with ease
I could strum on guitar, or tickle the keys
Scratch the turntable, whatever you please
Class musician in the year 2000
Blastinu0027 that EPMD like I was housinu0027
Swimming upstream at first then gained stamina
Strangling mics gripped around the diameter
Flipped the new shipment, upgrade the equipment
Need more space so erase the zip disc
Yo my rhymes are sharp as Japanese steel
Yo my rhymes are strong like Japanese steel
Learned to survive from the times of my youth and kept on
Feeling fortunate to still be here and so on
So I start a new beginning from scratch, how about that?
Whether I stamp the map, or was the champ of rap
Iu0027m not looking for all that, just making a contribution
Continuing the work from my own revolution
Underground sound with a solid foundation
Time to put the work back into this creation
Go as far as I can go, trying to keep my head straight
Separate like church and state when I meditate
Focused on the future and the past we made
Remaining top grade like the strength from a blade
If used properly, it can defend and attack
Dangerous property as a matter of fact
Sometimes in my lines I reflect on the past
In these turbulent times just trying to stay on the raft
Remembering the moments and hoping they last
The universal ironies that always making me laugh
Thatu0027s why it feels right to write and keep it real
Absorb the energy that is forged in steel
