[Verse 1: Sa-Roc]
This is more than just a portrait of my cerebral cortex
This a mural of my devotion
Took a couple years to develop my instinct
Now I hunt down every synth, leave the carcass at your doorstep
They give me an inch, bet I'm taking forty acres for my kingdom
And tell 'em it was a cinch like a corset
Funny part is the same people doubted my drive, headed for my lane
Ain't that shit ironic, Mrs. Morrisette?
They don't know I been through it
Probably why my influence hit 'em hard
Leave 'em struggling with the emotions
And if every tear I've cried was measured or verified
Y'all would be treading water in my azure oceans
So I chop and portion these tumultuous memoirs into soundbites
So y'all can sit and digest every morsel
I want every gem I drop to engage 'em
So I ask y'all consider this submission a proposal
[Chorus: Chronixx]
I've been banging on these doors, I'm 'bout to kick dem down
We've been trodding on this long and lonely road, road
Been so long, it's time I finally get my victory now
Oh no, they can't deny my strength no more, oh, no, no
[Verse 2: Sa-Roc]
This like my confessional, the way I release these feelings
I don't trust a lot of folk and the only priests is killers
Maybe I'm a bit elitist, but my ink is peerless
Want my thesis chiseled onto stone reliefs in Venice, my goodness
I'm a real strong contender in this
They tried to count me out, but I'm the sum of all fears, extent is endless
Family members got their freedom through amendments, and this
Industry still doubting my constitution for pen ascendance
What a shock, got a gift of the gab
And my knack for the glyphs got 'em gripping the bag
Just relax, no addiction to chips or the cash
Spit a hex on the wax, get my fix from the craft
Every strand of my DNA branded champion
Call it vanity, all of my candids handsome
In demand 'cause I made all of my tragedies anthems
Put the plan into motion and vanished, phantom
[Chorus: Chronixx]
Been banging on these doors, I'm 'bout to kick dem down (Kick dem down)
We've been trodding on this long and lonely road, road
So long, it's time I finally get my victory now (Victory now)
Oh no, they can't deny my strength no more, oh, no, no
[Verse 3: Sa-Roc]
I never lied, I'm a certified god of this
Try and refute it, verse immaculate regardless
And every audio release I'm emitting is ear piercing
Send my point of view straight through your cartilage
My bars is Carter rich, Temple of Karnak built
Your faves could never, they don't have the stones to spar with sis
They used to verses 'bout the cat
Well I'm the spawn of Black Panthers, rip through any track, leave every letter scarlet
Ashanti gold coast embedded in my scrolls
Broken English the residue of Trans-Atlantic cargo ships
Got a dark past that won't ever see the light
'Cause they down to crucify me for it, modern day Iscariots. Compromise not in the cards, they drawing a blank
'Cause I'm so cutting edge and all these imposters on the brink
My vision changed my career, may cost you yours in a blink
'Cause I'm the Roc, last born from out the warrior ranks
[Chorus: Chronixx]
I've been banging on these doors, I'm 'bout to kick dem down
Trodding on this long and lonely road, oh yeah
So long, it's time I finally get my victory now
Oh no, they can't deny my strength no more, no more, ayy
[Outro: Chronixx]
Through the fire, through the rain
Some retire, we still remain
We rising higher, build we name
Call the choir, mek we sing the praises
To Haile I, the king so great
Jah give me life, you can keep the fame
Dem hyping up, we nuh hype with dem
Heavy like a lead, can't deny we strength
