Ephemeral by TG3 Lyrics
(MC Brooklyn)
I'm a fucking menace, call me Dennis. Braces on my teeth, look like grillz, shout out to my dentist
Doing what we want, not what they let us. Stack green cabbage, can’t forget the lettuce
Rap Kings boi, we the men of letters. Relentless, we can never let up. Life hits hard but I always get up
I'm a lyrical miracle, yo my flow is pivotal, and my bars not typical, man your words despicable, and your rhymes is pitiful, impact is minimal, mine is so spiritual, mind is so spiritual, way past the physical, and I passed my physical. God sent, I'm biblical. My vision, not visible. No music, I’m miserable, I'm raw and critical, winning is the principle, who the best, it isn't you
Yea. I'm on my grind, on a mission
Yea. I'm an engine, I'm a piston
Yea. Boi, I'm a living lesson
Yea. Scratch that, living legend
Yea. I'm not the one you pressing
Uh. I rebuke my depression
I’m a King, not a peasant
Devil, I will never let in
(Audio Snippet)
The decision is totally yours
Whether or not you’re gonna let it--
Whether or not you're gonna be the mediocre dude
Whether or not you gonna be the idiot muhfucka like me that fell and you know okay, well yeah I was--
Used to bees don’t make no honey
You know what I mean
Only honeybees make honey
Well I used to be this-- that ain't cutting it
Used to bees don't make no honey
Wanna bees don't make no honey
Only bees
The word be, exist
Be and exist
(Legacy)
Telling me I gotta change i know better
Matching my heart to the cold weather
I wasn’t tryna be a savage but im more than 21 this ain't no set up
Balance out my imperfections, i was praying for more blessings
I ain't tryna learn a lesson that take too much time i jus wanna get the check and spend it
Fast lane a nigga driven
I can beat you to the finish
Ion een need a witness
You can feel it in ya spirit
I spend too much time on my vision
I know that u see it
Lookin back on my past man it's so humbling
Scary lil nigga i never woulda confronted
Anybody girl, boy, slut, ho, or thottie
So what you expect after the first year of college
Tryna cut a lil bit
Player player yeah im looking like a joy stick
I was never meant for that been appointed
Set aside for a different purpose
I could never see the plan
But i know it's worth it
Gotta baddie on my hands she jus need a birkin
So im working to the grindstone
For the diamonds
With a gold mind
You can't find those
You won't find those
Ephemeral man ephemeral
Ephemeral yeah ephemeral
This shit so cold man this shit so cold
This shit so cold man this shit so cold
(Audio Snippet)
You had the Sadducees and the Pharisees
And the Pharisees believed in the resurrection
But they believed it had to happen within two days
That the person could come back to life
The Sadducees completely didn't believe it at all
That's why God waited til the third day to raise Jesus up
So just when it looks like it's not gonna happen
Just when everybody gives up
Then they'll know without a doubt that it was nothing but God that did it
(Pragmatic)
Have you ever seen a black boy fly
Quick, you better glance at me
Did it all deflecting them throwing bands
Inspecting all of them deals
And making sure that my hands
Were never touching them bills
Supporting murder of people
And steeple embezzlement
Them immigration offenses
Or that eth-nic cleansing
Killing them children senseless
We wanted change but it came with a fence or a wall that you can't trump cause it's chained to a pence
I try to stay on the bench
Cause I play too much
Making moves in the field
I don't say too much
If I lose then
It ain't too much that I can't handle
Gotta another season like scandal
Try to wear my shoes
You could never fit these sandals
Cause I got faith in my soul
And it makes all my goals attainable
You tripping if the business
You doing ain't sustainable
Just taintable
And unmanageable
Cause you a cannibal
Feeding off the people at
The bottom
See you channeling they anger
And they pain
But no rivers for the rain to collect
And then flow and then water the floodplains
No respect
Niggas nowadays honor the bloodstains
In the hood yo they carrying Glocks
I came to school just to carry my block
Your mind be the tool it ain't cool out there flipping them rocks
Know it's a duel, but just wait for the tick of the clock
(Audio Snippet)
Even a landing-
This can either be your landing pad--
Is it recording now? It is
It can either be your landing pad or your launching pad
This can be the place where you stay on this one plane
Where you've anded and just stay there
Okay I went to college-
A lot of people say "Okay I went to college and did this"
And they stop
Or this can be your launching pad
The place where you take off to the next level
Where you explore the depths and the heights that God has for you
You know there's no...
He says if you give to Him
And when He says give he's talking about not just money but other resources
Your time, yourself
And He says when you give He'll give back to you
Good measure, pressed down, shaken up, and overflowing
So imagine this cup, you see how this ice is in there
So imagine it was filled with ice
Pressed down, shaken up so it can go down some more
And still overflowing, so it's more
I'm a fucking menace, call me Dennis. Braces on my teeth, look like grillz, shout out to my dentist
Doing what we want, not what they let us. Stack green cabbage, can’t forget the lettuce
Rap Kings boi, we the men of letters. Relentless, we can never let up. Life hits hard but I always get up
