Lil’ pep in my step and my pen a weapon
Lil’ pep in my step and my pen a weapon now
Lil’ pep in my step and my pen a weapon
Check it out..
Say hi to this side of me
Inside my lobotomy
Rhyme out-of-bodily
Finally these are outta me
Right where I gotta be
Mom are you proud of me?
Prodigal prodigy
Talkin ‘bout it melodically
Whatchu call me?
Save your sorry apologies
I blot ‘em anonymous
Jot like a columnist
Not who you thought I was
Looking well, but what I fell in was bottomless
and mom was pissed I’m not on the honors list
I’ll show you the art to this
I got bars, shit, I can rhyme hippopotamus
I’m the darkest and a star to astronomers
There’s a fraud on your monitors
A friend and an enemy
Remember, the person you know is already dead to me
.......
I sit back watch my enemies fade
Pray for their envy and hate
Try to be friendly and wave
I say thanks for the memories made
Pour out some Hennessy on my former identity’s grave
My wordplay feels like ‘70’s suede
Shades of a heavenly aide
Somebody lemme get paid
Had to be adamant
Hey Dad I ain’t bad at this
First time I’ve felt adequate
I been lacking my catalyst
Don’t ask what the matter is
I’m in the confessional
Cuz I gotta question you
Just tell me yes or no
Would you believe
if I said the best ain’t professional
Talking bout definition
They think the point is a decimal
Gimme a minute
I’ll throw a fit, and put infinity in it
Spit a city to the vicinity limit you cynic
How do them numbers sound?
On a track, I’ll never give you the runaround
Maybe when I smarten up, I can dumb it down
Cuz mental telepathy
Has kept me in jeopardy
I felt like a leper and they should section me separately
Then I get on the record
And I’m dead in a second
Got the Lord as my Shepherd He
put a pep in my step and my pen a weapon now
