[Verse 1: POETIK]
Poetik Suspekt, I'm back in the fact
On the scene, price went up like nicotine
I take you back some with this rappin'
So drastic with my tactics, hold you for ransom
These cowards can't test me, we ain't in the same school
Same league, pedigree, I murder an MC
And serve life in the cypher, spit it from the gut
But you chokin' on the mic like you spittin' out the nut
You can't rock it like Don Cheadle, my rhyme lethal
Watch a playa hate because I motivate the people
Keep they heads ringin' like collect calls from the county
Better ask about it, you're a fool if you doubt me
Rep from Apia to Cali, Cali back to Welly
From Welly back to Sydney, Sydney up to Brizzy
Gets busy abroad, check your whole squad, I test them
Annihilate your sector, the hamo trifecta
Hit your crib like a home, wreck ya with the .38
From the ghetto where they snort coke off a dirty plate, uh
Watch your back out here, a dirty game
685, reppin' till I'm knockin' on the pearly gates
[Chorus: POETIK]
Let me take you back, one time for your mind
Redefine what this rap life is
A lot of cats lie all the time
When you rhyme, you can't rap like this
Take you back, one time for your mind
Redefine what this rap life is
A lot of cats lie all the time
When you rhyme, you can't rap like this
[Verse 2: POETIK]
You can't rap like this, I mean, you can't tell the truth
Won't tell the truth, like you rather stray from your bitch
You get your jacket and your boots snatched up, little actor
Don't come around the block, you know I might just have to slap ya
Can't understand it, pretendin' like you ghetto
But ain't never had the struggle for a sammich, god damn it
Why you lyin' to the planet with your fake-ass raps?
You will get stumped, step in tryna fake the funk
Now it's back to the lecture at palm
Cool, collected ghetto patriots, style far from basic
Keep the Poet knockin' at your speaker, rockin' in your basement
Till you addict, when I grip the microphone, I slam it
Like a bad habit that you just can't shake
I make moves half you mothafuckas just can't make
And take my time to lace my rhyme, will I [?]
Never retard the flow, I can [?] out your soul
With the whisper of a sixteen I wrote back in high school
Make you all scatter like a gunshot, I might do
Smokin' Mary out the shisha pipe
With lil' mami, bomb body, mack, but she ride dyke (Uhh, shit)
[Chorus: POETIK]
Let me take you back, one time for your mind
Redefine what this rap life is
A lot of cats lie all the time
When you rhyme, you can't rap like this
You can't rap (Like this)
You can't rap (Like this)
You can't rap (Like this)
You can't rap—
[Verse 3: Kenzie From Welly]
Walk, walk up to the club like a scrub in the passenger
When my drunk sober, [?] me up for the ambassador
Pockets low, so we 'bout to the spend the rent
Easy come, easy go, when you drink like us, no regrets
What's mine is yours, time to put the [?]
Are you down? Of course, so we head to the source
You can run your mouth but I don't recommend it
'Cause if you wanna scuffle, ho, I think it's fuckin' splendid
Rap dudes these days got secret handshakes
But ain't shakin' hands and ain't pumpin' brakes
Pet each other on the back and stroke each other's ego
It ain't hard to tell, boo-boo, no, I see you
Faker than a toupée, fishier than filet
Load up, chitty-chitty bang-bang when we spray
Faker than a [?] dance, see ya, lova-lova (Brrrat)
Those who fake the funk, run for cover, muthafucka
[Chorus: POETIK]
Let me take you back, one time for your mind
Redefine what this rap life is
A lot of cats lie all the time
When you rhyme, you can't rap like this
Take you back, one time for your mind
Redefine what this rap life is
A lot of cats lie all the time
When you rhyme, you can't rap like this
