This is your Qu'ran or Bible

The contents you put in your songs are vital

Like training for the UFC, you want a title
13
Slam thoughts on the canvas, flip 'em and pin 'em
14
Metaphors and similes with synonyms in 'em
15
Spit heat around the town, the more you get it heard
16
Till you spit at least 3000 miles before it hit a curve
17
Then flaunt your rhymes in your rap pages
18
Wordplay to punchlines and catchphrases
19
Deep sport for players and ballers, new game
20
Street talk straight off the corners, new slang

I got heat for crowds for those that pursue it

Spitters, I show you flow till your vocals are through it

33
Forever sick like catchin' AIDS is
34
In a class for greatness for matchin' phrases
35
My predicates last for pages
36
Every letter fit, trend setter like fashion statements
37
Recruits get a shine and they hope forever
38
I wrote some of the illest rhymes ever put together
39
Soon as I make 'em rappers take 'em
40
Analyze 'em for days and paraphrase 'em
41
I'm back, hip hoppers'll back my scripts and documents
42
Raps hit the block, it's a wrap, it's the apocalypse
43
The hood give my rap flow names
44
Like 9/11 and crack cocaine
45
I hit the building, it get hotter in 'em
46
It's like birds, most rappers don't know how to flip 'em
47
I gotta hip 'em, get hop and show 'em how to spit 'em
48
I bust a rhyme and I school 'em for free, I scholarship 'em
49
It don't matter if I ain't on the page you want

57
Competition know the deal, you're not ready now
58
Because you're dealin' with the R, know how it's goin' down
59
This is it, if you so sick, where your skills at?
60
No sir, ghostwriter, you can kill that
61
It's hard [Incomprehensible] it isn't in bars, it's infinite
62
So Ra deliver it far different
63
Part lyricist, part instrument
64
Start spittin it the more articulate y'all rhythms get
65
Till every syllable you drop it pivotal
66
If it's not original it's not as memorable
67
Ill lyrical till you're so popular they sick of you
68
Pandemical threat, level 5, it's critical
69
Kill 'em off with a word like euthanasia
70
Till it spread to the youth in Asia
71
In the booth I'm major, my music's monumental, I'm a mogul
72
You wanna make sense? I'ma show you
73
You gotta put your life in them lines
74
Make the deaf hear, give sight to the blind
75
Make your flow tighter, brightest designs
76
So if the mic is your grind then biting's a crime
77
Especially if a ghostwriter's writin' your rhymes
78
It don't matter if I ain't on the page you want
79
Tell me what you want, I give it to you the way you want

85
I can show you how to emcee like I got a degree
