A True MC by Endomorph Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you know what it means to wake up and go into
A state of inspiration when lines appear tenfold?
Do you know how it feels to close your eyes and reveal
It's a highlight reel of rhymes, fire and steel
Like woven words swirling through reality fabric
You speak of mankind through poetry
It's only the act of a messenger at his peak
The pen leaks ink, my soul bleeds and it flows through a creek
Made of my lyrics, I wish mom could hear this, man
But she I would think I'm mentally ill, well maybe I am
At least I'm sick enough to consider, making some plans
If I'd loot some cash from my passion, I'd never work again
Have you ever spoken your mind in front of a crowd
It's insane, It's like you had ten brains to reroute a
Path, just figure out how to spit out your thoughts in real time
White or black, man, you're wack if you ain't got no rhymes
[Hook]
Uh, a true emcee will make you jump from your seats
A real nigga don't cheat on wifey, cuz she's here since the streets
Every rapper's a criminal, wanted for arson at least
Hiphop police has a warrant on me for murdering beats
[Verse 2]
Do you know how the table turned when I got into rap?
I visualized fables in the rhymes I studied, now back
Then I felt like I was able to transcend
Put my phones on, and I traveled places I ain't never been
I know I never set my foot there, but when Slick Rick rhymed
It felt like a sick flick, rap's Lumiere
Inside the park, I smelt the grass like Rakim
Paint a picture fast, like shadowboxing, a trip without GroupOn coupons
My teen years mean nostalgia, I was a geek with the words
But I never dissed algebra that's why I rap off beat and then back on, cuz I'm a metronome
I know I deviate from the rules, let me initiate some of you fools
This is freeverse delivery, tree burst artillery, fission of neutrons
First, I studied the greats, man, I learned them lessons
Second, I followed the rules, like two-strike felons
Third, I spread my message, my weapon of choice, now I reckon the noise
Inside me and my rapping's the essence of joy ignited
[Hook]
