Timeless

(Verse 1) My style has no birth record You might know when my record was born And how I played my favorite classics till the needles was gone And truth say, you might know how my moms pushed in '76 Turned my world view inside out and one day But this goes back further than that, further than rap Before that first hospital slap Way beyond the confines of joy and pain Further than pride and shame Older than the foundation of the food chain To bore the understanding of an equal cypher With the consistency of daylight, I shine so bright I check 1,2 but I ain't talking about no mic I check 1,2 and calculate the science of life To add things right and take care of my business Allowing me to handle my pleasure like a pirate does treasure My rhymes are burried too deep to measure by the sands of the hourglass In otherwords built to last (Hook) I keep it timeless because I take my time with it Respect goes out to civilized and committed Cuz once you hear the capital J, rap it'll stay With you for awhile and it won't go away I keep it timeless because I do my thing Regardless of the stress that your life might bring Cuz once you hear the capital J, rap it'll stay With you for awhile and it won't go away (Verse 2) What do you do when you got 22 things to task And 10 minutes to deal with it And for the first 5 you bullshitted The scenario really best describes our folks Its like devils got plans and niggas got jokes Like an underdog team got hopes, but Hoop dream buzzer-beaters choke when y'all triple team pointguards go nuts Power corrupts And its a shame cuz the hardest working squad gets left with the donut The front runners say "so what?" They can't back their home team cuz they got no guts And high scorers check stats but they still have yet to win Plus tomorrow they'll be riding the bench once again, you see In this game I'm not trying to be the M.V.P Cuz the enemy's the clock and the referee Because its obvious the world is out of order I hope you wake up cuz we in the forth quarter y'all..Timeless (Hook) (Verse 3) Who pays dues plus sales tax Just to paint a picture with a thousand words Only to find out your visions is blurred Its absurd but still I observe How the brilliance of Blackness is missed when a sights unheard As old rhyme styles fester like dreams deferred New styles just might shine at God's speed indeed But some still wear the mask that grins and lies Hides cheeks and shades eyes but I'm not suprised It's no disguise cuz my five eyes remain all wise No excuse cuz the innocent is still down south, no escape We remain robbed, killed and raped Till you take back your mind and extract the lies But until then, I still utilize my pen To lead the land from the slaughter and a horse to the water Continuing the face the stress of lifes test With rhymes that impress the best cuz my mind is timeless (Hook)
