O.C., Pharoahe Monch - Evaridae (Starchild ) lyrics

Check, just the thought of me fillin
That spot make rappers cringe
I be the dope in the syringe that
Make 'em nod when I walk past
Yo sand in the hourglass runnin
Out from '94 'til now
They still ask when I'm comin out
Respect held without the platinum portfolio
I'm lyrical and still lethal as polio
Past the stage of cars and Roleys and hoes
I left Ohio one step below the holy ghost

Why must I prove to y'all
That I'm on my job and it ain't no thang?
(It be a gift from God) I'm shinin my light
Like ev-ery day (everyday)

Yo, frankly speakin I'm one of the
Best with rhyme and reason
All season is force
Lyrical prophets misleadin y'all heathens
Demons, straight fire breathin
They actions mischievous - what
Beef nigga? You vegan
I'm a loyalist and no man on
Earth can he spoil this
I go hard no matter how thick turmoil is
Enjoyin this life, the only one I got to live
When blessed to give I
Receive twice in return
That's a gift in it'self, but not selfish
I admit I indulge and spoil myself
But who doesn't? Yet I always put God first
Second be my health wanted the same for fam
Now that's humungous wealth

Check, yo diehards get it while the
Rest want the bullshit
Look elsewhere for nonsense, I'm not that
Never sellin my soul for sickness, witness
Becomin of a new beginnin, dickheads
Misled ya misled
Find ways to cleans yo'self
Look deep within yo'self
I recommend you break yo'self
And rebuild from the inside out
And take a good look
Whether you jewish or christian or a muslim
I'm doin the same, the sin is in my veins
I wonder if I perform a
Transfusion will it drain?
Fight through the pain despite
Knowin the game my life's been like a roller
Coaster ride weighin my brain
