Generate meaning
1
Before I start, like to make sure I'm smart,
2
Gather my composure, rather my swagger and my culture,
3
Pivot my fitted, then begin to rivet, with a change of lyric,
4
In other words, I reposition how I sit it,
5
Then make you 'feel it' like I mispronounced filet,
6
On second thought, I can't make you fill it
7
Like you diggin' ya own grave, 'less you can Kill Bill it
8
A night of the living passed the wait,
9
Can you dig it? Why Em-cee? 'Ey,
10
I do it for my village,
11
The pennin' is John Lennon, the beat is the Beatles,
12
Go together like Lennon and the people,
13
In some fresh linens and some John Lennon's fresh outta Seagle's,
14
The pen and the needles...
15
I'm back at 'cha, and I Pac like cap backwards,
16
Like a hat's backwards, you know, when the back's backwards,
17
Yeah, like a bat catcher's,
18
The law got a long arm like a back scratcher,
19
But before I leave mine at home,
20
Like a bat catcher, I think about my zone,
21
Where the pimps make scratch off the track like a DJ
22
Easy! That's my zone rappers,
23
It's my deck
24
And if I catch you set trippin' with my cassette sittin' then it's on rappers,
25
It's not a threat,
26
Cuz it'll span ya where I roam rappers, where I hone my skills,
27
They wanna send me back home, the Devil, is on my heels,
28
They writing this thing like in the sequences,
29
The police, I repeat
30
We go together like the Beauty and the Beast,
31
Writin' is in my veins,
32
The ink is the diesel, the pen and the needles...
33
The word is mightier than the sword,
34
And my swerve is tightier than yours,
35
Like year in St. Louis ya whole flow,
36
I fear I sank through it,
37
It all became clear,
38
Like a paramedic with an electric chest kit, yeah
39
The gravity of the vocabulary is a caliber equal to Excalibur,
40
Swung with the grace of Agassi in his amateurs, there, yeah
41
There was a deeper depth, don't know how I got here
42
I also had a hole in my flow,
43
It appears I sank to it,
44
My swing, it couldn't be seen
45
I apply some paint to it, the invisible man
46
Wrapped in bandages, in critical, CLEAR
47
The scriptin' of Scorsese, the score is Count Basie
48
We go together like the original and the sequel,
49
This is the end of the trilogy, ya feelin' me?
50
The pen and the needles...
