lyrics

Imago dei
Survival is the only game that i know how to play
I heard Somebody said andale well then it's time to race
Modern day somalian soldier with the Ali face
Basquiat brushstrokes but I’m bare knuckle boxing
Spitting the epistle of every single apostle
Written with such vigor he breakin apart pencils lit
Every thought that I spit is consequential
Very inauspicious i slid in; Ricky Henderson
You ain't got balls swing with the pen; pendulums
Know the dogs vicious, you step in the pit; ending em
The lesson is the sky is the limit like Mae Jemison
I be skipping the grades and still schoolin em
Workin with the bean like Percy Lavon Julian
Who else doin it this well and transparent
The black poet, when they slowing down, I fast forward
You ask where the rappers that’s forty and got crickets
I’m past forty, running the forty, I’m not finished
Guess you had your head in the dirt wit the ostritches
Twenty years putin in work, stop trippin
You in the lion's den now, you gettin my attention
You barely bench pressing bars I'm powerlifting
I’m putting every plate in the place on the weight bench
That's state pen level of metal that I'm raisin
like Neo when he lifted all the agents in The Matrix
Onlookers lookin like what in the tarnations
I'm John Lee Hooker slash Booker T chased wit
Lorraine Pascale cuz I’m cookin the beat….face it
Top model, you ain't even gotta look at me
I'm stretchin’ out like Jessamyn Stanley in a limousine
Dressed manly but drip cleaner than the Sistine
IG live with Trip Lee all in the split screen
You asked where the brothers wit knowledge and got silence
This is past knowledge, i’m showing how to apply it
Look up every name that I mentioned these messages
And you will understand what is meant by black excellence
you still wanna see ID then no prob.
Imago dei...that’s “in the image of GOD”.
