The IV

[Intro: Braille (Cuts)] Yeah, so, uh, we got this thing here, uh.... (The IV) Yeah, yeah! Braille Brissik in the place! Like this! [Hook 1] The IV! Defines my name! Know'msayin? Yeah! Yo, man, what is it? The IV, wha-wha-what defines my name [Verse 1] Lyricism don’t sell no more, that’s what they say but I just ignore it, I won’t forfeit, I push forward, the fourth record, this is a force to be reckoned with, I’m like a wrecking ball tearing down the wall, kick open the door when I step to the bass drum, passion in my lungs, spit till my face is numb, worldwide, but I’ll never forget where I came from, I’m going long-distance with short circuits, I’ll leave behind more money for more purpose, have you ever heard an emcee like this?
