Elegy

[Into] Yo, here we are Living in the, last days Sparking it like the lone cats Ya know, bout to do it like this [Verse] Dear loved ones, we're here to commemorate the memory of the mc Who we loved him very dearly Who was as nice as could be Clearly If it happened in reality They'd put it in words, fearly And that could graph there bravery I'm corner stones of blueprint for fighting hypocrisy It takes nothing more than mere words to give it proper testimony Popping and breaking, missed the ceremony I remember when it didn't matter if you was fat or you was bony I remember when it was about the love, not about the money Now honey was something you call your shorty Before the magazines when niggas was using words that's derogatory I even hear some sisters use it in glory They buggin It's like we entered a contest to see which ones the more ugly Strange phenomenon that needs investigating My mother and skully Cheers drunk like orgies sippin or bubbly Drinkin away our problems Like that's gonna solve them While life in the world, continue with revolving I wrote this eulogy to get some resolvement But if this don't work police expectations to get some involvement [Hook] Travel with pens Write a script across the universe Travel with pens So I can write a universe For niggas with real skills, real rhyme, get no real time That's why we gotta Travel with pens We travel with pens Write a script across the universe Travel with pens So I can write a universe For niggas with real skills, real rhyme, get no real time That's why we gotta Travel with skills [Verse 2] In the beginning, no one heard what they were saying But they loved going to the parties that they be playin Love the combination of MCing and DJing The golden rule of imitating or lying In other words no biting At Wingate park at 81, eight years later I started writing Doing all that time was the journey towards enlightenment Love with girls and fights with men That's part of the balance that made MCing interesting All I thought was grabbing a mic and dropping a gem A crowd would sing a long like a church hymn Seemed like a dream worth realizing Now it's differed by label exec's capitalizing Politicizing and merchandising And gross is the only prophet that they baptized in Put em through the trial of fire to sanitize them And if they resist we downsize them Corp emerge then neutralize them [Hook] [Verse 3] I use caution Combined with intellectualism for resurrection The corpse is too hot use cool words from my selection The process about to begin is as ancient as mummification A ritual deep in [?] method of [?] Free or written verse is all in means of documentation Days of our future past through everyday situations Son I know, there's nothing that should be left up to speculation Study the pentameter, increase your flotation With the same old lame rhyme and beat, stagnation MC's like me rebirth the art of alliteration We shine like headlights in a funeral possession You'll be the loser in a head to head competition of mutual aggression [Hook]
