Back Against The Ropes Lyrics by P. Walsh

The Pugilist

2018

[Intro]
A left and a right combination again. Boy, that combo has worked well for Holyfield. But now a big left right left coming back from Qawi. Holyfield, back against the ropes and sliding away
[Hook: P Walsh] x4
I got my back against the (back against the) ropes
[Verse 1: P Walsh]
You either splatter or make it to the top, I choose the latter
Despite my lighter skin and tighter stature
My raps'll cause the rapture
Fighting off my demons with a little bit of Demoz
You're gonna need some Detox after hearing these bars
PZA give you lyrical pizza
Eat it, mysterious, pyramid Giza
Leaning? Nah, P ain't Pisa
P Dubs, leave your weed buds you sleepy tree hugs
The game's a white shotgun
And I'm the second Slug
I slay the alphabet, Punishing Capitals and that's a Big Pun
Blame my brain for coming up with the wrong stuff
Like my mouth and my Broca's broke up
So many ideas, absurd, no one cares about the words
Kicked to the curb, just another burden that wants to be heard
Earned my right to the special-est herbs
Specialist words making use of these legitimate verbs
[Hook]
I got my back against the ropes now
I got my back against the (back against the) ropes now
I got my back against the ropes son
I got my back against them (back against them)
Look
[Verse 2: P Walsh]
When I spit it's Camphor, I slam the boards
Emeka Okafor, I open doors
A Mecca of opposing slurs
Master of the spoken word
Flow is colder than the north
The people of the Norse or worse
As we come with the specialty
Rap recipes giving deadly tendencies
Tragically tallying all these travesties
Come with me, listening's your travel fee
So technical with the teeth he might meet a dental fee
Technically, you're barren, Saharan
Abandoned, in a state that's like Miranda's
No maranta, for you there's no demander
I'm a damper than a salamander in the Pacific
Transcendent, terrific, efficient, specific
Intricate, intrinsic, influence is richest
Ascending, emissions that sicken
Killing it with lyrics, his lips is illicit
That is it, you've witnessed the illest
(You bitches)
[Hook] x2
I got my back against the ropes now
I got my back against the (back against the) ropes now
I got my back against the ropes son
I got my back against them (back against them, back against them)
[Outro: Morgan Freeman]
People love violence. They’ll slow down at a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people claim to love boxing. They got no idea what it is
