Brother Joseph Lyrics by Ettrick Shepherd

The Brother Joseph Mixtape

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm going hardcore and tryna rhyme phonics
I snort this art form and get high off it
And it's ironic
These melodies are my remedies this shit's so sick that I might vomit
One hell of an engine under my bonnet
Take the world by storm and it's cyclonic
Say that you're the king, I just aced it
And I got the Joker so you can't say shit
A chemistry pun has never been done but
I'm spittin' acidic while your lyrics are basic
Plus I'm like an isotope which is painful
Cos I only got a half-life and I'm unstable
But at least I'm bringing something to the table
Try to catch the punchlines if you're able
Me with my pen and pad is like a plane from Etihad
Landing on your helipad when you call a medevac
Listen up to the wordplay dude
This is gonna be my first debut
No sugar-coating, it's natural and organic
Like I wrote it in my birthday suit
[Chorus]
We don't do no blunts or dope spliffs
We on that "bloody oath" shit
Got other emcees runnin' home quick
Remember the name - Brother Joseph
We don't do no blunts or dope spliffs
We on that "bloody oath" shit
Got other emcees runnin' home quick
Remember the name - Brother Joseph
[Verse 2]
Shitheads that doubt me
Bet you have slumber parties and bitch-fests about me
Envy peaked, you're secreting jealousy
Easy to see, I don't need telepathy
Call me the Trials impersonator
I serve a hater like the perfect waiter
Because you gave me shit, I'll return the favour
And simultaneously earn the paper
I'ma get it and I'ma get it good
I'm busy doing shit that you never could
And I'm literally standing where you're never stood
Say I'm fishin' for likes and you gettin' hooked
Life is a war between love and hate
I used to be sitting on the fucking gate
Think I do this for the cheddar?
I'm tryna change the world for the better and do something great
It's an aspect of life that I'm used to
I cruise through too soon and you lose, boo hoo
I'm not even meant to talking, parrot
Write raps every day and I parrot
[Chorus]
We don't do no blunts or dope spliffs
We on that "bloody oath" shit
Got other emcees runnin' home quick
Remember the name - Brother Joseph
We don't do no blunts or dope spliffs
We on that "bloody oath" shit
Got other emcees runnin' home quick
Remember the name - Brother Joseph
[Verse 3]
I humbly thank you for dissin’ me
You gave me something to put onto my lyric sheet
Physically I’m in the little league
But I’m a giant, speaking linguistically
Motherfuckers spend time chasin' stacks
One day I'm gonna make 'em face the axe
Makin' creative stabs
Lyrical serial killer, crazy lad
And here's a diss to The Chainsmokers
Once you're outta spliffs then it's game over
You honestly think that your shit is lit
Cos yo get played eight days straight on Nova?
When I rap to hip-hop
You could probably hear a pin drop
Not cos everybody's unimpressed or pissed off
It's cos I'm just so fucking good that they're in shock
