Reflection Eternal - City Playgrounds lyrics
[Reflection Eternal - City Playgrounds lyrics]
What we have here is the alpha and the omega
I spit it
Bear witness to the greatest and the latest
They try to hate us, yo
Witness the evolution of spitting
It's wicked and it's decadent
Revolutions per minute every time
The record spin
Retribution for cynics like a
Stick-up kid with weapons
In Brooklyn they say I run it
The 'Natti is checking in
No matter the terminology
Blood splatter artistically
It's looking like a Jackson Pollock painting
It's a mystery
Really should be brothers united
Against the industry
The african diaspora scatter
With shattered history
The game missing me, rap is so repetitive
Although I ain't your blood or your cuz
It's all relative i got a gang of rhymes
And Tone's beats is banging
We moving through the streets
Like we slanging dimes
It's magical, how the track so classical
To cats who got gats tucked
In they sweats like Plaxico
I'm back from my sabbatical
Voice of the future black radical
Keeping all the damage as collateral
Listening to instrumentals
Thinking bout all the things
I've been through the music just a peek into
My life as a window
It's so Hi Tek and it's all so simple
Even if I'm knocked down, I don't stay down
Even if I get down, I don't lay down
Hotter than the tar on the city playground
Hotter than the tar on the city playground
Aiyyo, I'm taking all bets
I'm settling all debts
A giant leap for man begin
With the small steps from a sword to a set
To my people on the picket line
Who sick of getting treated like
Them aliens in District 9
I juxtapose my business mind with my spirit
What, I'm just supposed to keep
You comfortable with the lyrics?
I know the flow disturbing
I know for certain
Just because you know all about the artist
Don't mean you know the person
You don't know me, I run labels
These unstable rappers so phoney
I try to listen but they
As boring as missionary position
So I'm shitting on these
Niggas like dysentery conditions
I'm sitting on the throne
You dreaming that it's empty soon
Nobody feeling you
You screaming in an empty room
The tree that fall in the forest
Nobody hearing you
Even though you fall the hardest
Don't get me started
Yo, I build up my defenses when
I'm left to my devices
Time gets suspended more than
DMX driver's license my music's steady
Not affected by the higher prices
People having sex in the
Streets like Dionysus
You know what my advice is? Fuck my advice
Live your life
Stop tripping like everything a minor crisis
I'm making sacrifices
My history is black as Isis
I don't think that I can trust
You if you lack in vices
I never miss a beat, the liquor make me slur
They takes my words, try to twist 'em like a
Swisher Sweet with sticky herb
American History X
Your teeth will hit the curb
It's easy cause I'm ill with the wordplay
I still flip the bird
Like Jeezy, we stripped it down
Now it's exposed i suppose my flow is
"The Emperor's New Clothes"
Although I'm always by myself
I never ride alone
The music on, then I'm right at home, zoning
Yeah, it's the pavement, word is bond
Don't be scared to think man, don't be scared
I know what's in your brain, it's scary man
You're only using like ten per cent
The other ninety per cent is scary man
But don't be scared, scary ass niggas, ay!
I spit it
Bear witness to the greatest and the latest
They try to hate us, yo
Witness the evolution of spitting
It's wicked and it's decadent
Revolutions per minute every time
The record spin
Retribution for cynics like a
Stick-up kid with weapons
In Brooklyn they say I run it
The 'Natti is checking in
No matter the terminology
