[00:01.151] [Intro]
[00:06.895] Twofifteen
[00:08.274] Twenty-one pound
[00:10.004] Uh...
[00:11.069] I'm not a typical arrogant American on prescribed medicine
[00:14.272] I'm sick as I ever been
[00:15.760] Rollin' out of the dealership in a McLaren
[00:18.009] These rappers is Peter Pan, I'm Pan-African
[00:20.871] Space invader blackin' ‘em
[00:22.266] Mixin' Alexander McQueen with Haider Ackermann
[00:25.006] Real rapture in the form of a living man
[00:27.631] I don't give a damn, not a mortal could test me
[00:29.524] See, I don't get examed
[00:30.949] I'm a high priest and a wild beast
[00:32.613] Once warrior, now chief—the mouthpiece of the foul East
[00:35.910] And I’ma rock ‘em, sock 'em robot HOF, I drop bombs
[00:38.620] Any flow I got come at you like "dot coms"
[00:41.128] You should know I'm not, for the run of the mill drill
[00:43.777] I'm still trill, the flame thrower, the real deal
[00:46.116] I don’t coincide with the oddness
[00:48.098] Your highness is where the pantheon of the gods is, I promise
[00:51.372] I'm known for being brutally honest
[00:53.162] If lyricism is spiritual to you then rewind this
[00:55.844] I'ma kill 'em but it ain't about to be with kindness
[00:58.424] I believe the industry about to see a conquest
[01:00.907] Changin' of the mindset
[01:02.477] Money just a concept, never been a object
[01:04.867] Even when my mother was livin' up in the projects
[01:07.262] Now my ratin' is higher than young Richard Pryor get
[01:10.016] Still speakin' my mind, just in a different dialect
[01:12.883] It takes two to make anthropology
[01:14.787] The student and the studied
[01:16.611] That being the case, it is time for the studied to examine the student and to evaluate its own self
[01:22.755] I said, I seen it all, I had it all and I ain't mad at all
[01:25.426] This rapper toss gravitas like a cannonball
[01:27.962] Stayin' up all night, throwin' my sleep pattern off
[01:30.410] I need a doctor on call to keep Adderall
[01:33.183] Position of my commission is trilateral
[01:35.770] You ****in' with me, you trippin' for tryin' that at all
[01:38.315] I mess around, make the call, get the gat involved
[01:40.893] I know people, it's a small world after all
[01:43.517] My credit card say it's onward at the mall
[01:46.176] My broad lookin' like she Cinderella at the ball
[01:48.700] Reborn every January like a Capricorn
[01:51.058] From downtown, no Ryan Lewis and Macklemore
[01:53.785] It's yours truly, I'm Paul Mooney, I'm George Clooney
[01:56.447] I'm fully immersed in the craft, bringin' awards to me
[01:58.928] The bass player said he gon' sue me
[02:00.891] I gave the finger to him, the Lord gave a round of applause to me
[02:04.008] My soul winnin', I've been goaltendin'
[02:05.969] Cold sentence, scroll pennin’, nigga gone 'til it’s no limit
[02:09.223] The vision came to me so vivid
[02:11.140] My observation was if money for the takin', I'ma go and get it
[02:14.346] Y'all know my everyday lay no costume
[02:16.937] I murk rappers and they can't play no possum
[02:19.310] Another studio but it's the same old outcome
[02:21.871] I told my nigga Spon Vicious, "Baby, we got one"
[02:24.183] Listen
[02:27.109] Accurate scholarship and free, dedicated artists would reveal a singularly important thing
[02:29.931] Racism was and is not only a mark of ignorance
[02:32.876] It was and is a monumental fraud
