C.T.D. Lyrics by Rakaa Iriscience

Crown of Thorns

0

[Verse One]:
One for Bambaataa, two for my infinity lessons
Three for Frosty Freeze, rest in peace and journey to the essence
Dealin' with true aggression
Heard we lost Camu Tao
Flashback to Boulevard Connection
MHz, mega hurts but he's at one with the earth
Bring the day I'll choke, bless without funk, Omega serpent
I'm a C-A all day surgeon
Beat the block and pound pavement
Stay creative rec surfin'
Full nelson stranglin' slang, I never let go
Puppets I'm like Geppetto
Catch me live in Soweto
Power plant amp
Post office throw my face on a stamp
Celebrate the new open weight champ
This is mixed martial arts on beats
Flow fuck the world, slick style sick as all disease
(It's ill)
Cough, sneeze (and chills)
Shit's real
Treasury throw my face on a colorful new bill
Catch that
Rash that
Cash that, can't break that
Mega acupressure professor, they can't take that
Wait
I know they can't take that weight
I bench press the U.S
50 states for plates
52 Block Jailhouse Rock flow
Block to block
Network grows like my 'locks, like my thoughts flow
Campaign the worldwide spots, no
I don't play
It's like a game of connect the dots though

[Hook]:
"Just listen to this"
"Yeah"
Connect the dots

[Verse Two]:
I'm a freedom fighter, Guerrero
Rollin' with the Zapatistas
I’m out for revolución if they do not release us
It's Rakaa from Expansion
Dilated still advancing
Lakers, Dodgers, Angels, Kings, S.C
UCLA a champion
That's straight from L.A.'s finest
That's straight from Iriscience
That's straight me defining what the state of L.A. rhyme is
Hash nights get high like gas prices
Work hard and play hard
They ask if the cat's righteous
Man, I'm front lining while they stand in the back
Keep my eyes scanning while I see the beast on attack
I touch Egypt like Tyson did Spinks
Eat a felafel on an island in Greece
Civilized while the violence increase
Under Bush it was most extreme
No choice but to soar with those broken wings
I still tell you walk hard though I know it stings
With each step they cut your feet on your broken dreams
But now
Kids whistle when cops show
Block to block, network grows like my 'locks like my thoughts glow
Campaign the worldwide spots, no
I don't play
It's like a game of connect the dots though

[Hook]:
"Just listen to this"
"Yeah"
