As the sun begins to rise from the ocean/
you can catch me doing pushups, getting my chest swollen.
Semicolon I'm inhaling the morning air/
now prepare for the beast unleashed from his easy chair.
Over this beat, I'm dancing like Fred Astaire/
I'm head and shoulders above anyone out there.
Your worse nightmare in a pair of Nike airs/
I'm amongst rarefied air I don't care...
What you rappers think of me/
You see I'm known to march to the drum of a different beat.
I had a dream I was probing deep in the colon of Kelly Rowland/
on my Jill Scott living my life like it's golden.
Now imagine me taking a critic serious/
I know what I can bring to the table put that on period.
Different animal, same beast so don't query us/
I'm known to get ugly on tracks I'm freaking hideous


Like a breeze from the ocean/
I'm on a wave keeping the water in commotion.
Many have tried, and many have failed to provoke him/
stay on the grind 9-5 putting work in.
Can't nobody stop my shine/
got a problem? homie stand in line (I'm not playing with you)
Can't nobody dim my light/
shine bright like the ocean sunrise.


I worked in a factory thinking of dastardly/
scatterbrained rhyme patterns displaying mastery.
Divulging in savagery I'll rattle your anatomy/
if I get charged up prepare to get jumped like a dead battery.
Too easy I'm a rappers rapper/
each flow is God-driven and this one is from the rapture.
Speaking of which this whole time I've been scribbling/
pouring every ounce of my soul into this pen again.
With a little bit of wit and perseverance/
this is how you get a whole generation to listen.
Lyricism is more than rhyming multi-syllables/
just because you spit rapid-fire don't make you lyrical.
Blabbbity blah I'm deconstructing your rhyme/
to show you haven't said anything worthwhile in a long time.
Then I'll pipe the beat from behind/
and rearrange its guts as if I majored in interior design.


Can't nobody stop my shine/
got a problem? homie stand in line (I'm not playing with you)
Can't nobody dim my light/
shine bright like the ocean sunrise.


I'm not here to reinvent the wheel/
I'm just trying to jot something down that you can feel.
Maybe spark a tree in the V and just chill/
or bump this in the gym burning calories on the treadmill.
Since my first video on the church steeple/
I chose to rap for people instead of rapping for profit.
Now I'm fly enough to sit on the wings of an eagle/
they're all ears like a beagle while I'm revered as a prophet.
See my synopsis is ticking all of the boxes/
so far ahead of my time who needs watches?
I brag a little bit on the mic but when I'm off it/
I'm mild-mannered as Clark Kent and less obnoxious.
But when I'm in the booth and I rip the buttons off of this shirt/
and go a little berserk spoiler alert I'll hurt.
And leave the beat in a hearse without a single curse/that's how I show my versatility in a verse.
