VERSE 1:
I’m not the one to play with, get caught in my cadence
It’s all in the phrasing, I’m Charlotte in this web of a matrix.
I duck the jab and Satan hates it, I dab in these haters’ faces
They sweet n’ low, I’m no replacement, let’s face it
I’m an assassin, move in the dark, remain faceless,
Some no name but I’ll still give your favorite rapper a facelift
Bravado flow that lets me know y’all listening when I say this:
The Lost Tribe is the high vibe been missing from your playlist
I chose lightwork, pay the bills to make the lights work
Rather that, the path chose me, talking bout my life’s purpose, my life’s service
Spoken word but I first heard it, ride the wave, I control the current
Revved up like she said she purring and the sacrifice is more than worth it
Feel the spirit surging, if it’s toxic then I purge it
Demons hiding in the dark, I pull the curtain
Sometimes, there ain’t no time for no rehearsing
So to stay ready I grind heavy and keep putting my work in
VERSE 2:
When there’s pain in my heart I don’t know where to start
But I figure it’s art so I paint it, whether taking
Shots in the dark, taking walks in the park
I am sharpening darts cuz I’m aiming (yeah)
Past the clothes and the cars, past the moon and the stars
Won’t settle for Mars, I want Uranus
I ain’t the one to play with, these cats are fouling flagrant
ain’t wanna but it seems that I’ma have to go and take it, (yeah)
Like the last of the Mohicans, I’m the last of the MC kids
Never tweaking over sneakers, I’m just worried about my speakers
And however far they’re reaching. Refine the words I’m speaking
To define me as a beacon for all that we are seeking
Cuz when I’m on the mic I’m sharper than Einstein
Leave all these MCs square while I push lines
Every rhyme I drop is complex
They bars is suspect, my bars say success. It’s
Outro:
Scared crow call the beast, put the heat on us but we alchemists
Scared crow call the beast, put the heat on us but we alchemists
Scared crow call the beast, put the heat on us but we alchemists
but we alchemists but we alchemists but we alchemists but we alchemists
