lyrics

LYRICS:

Now here’s a smooth introduction how I’m too nice
Reputation for wrecking more than a few mics
So what it look like...a sun shining
Soon as I proceed rhyming I hit with pristine timing,
Three tatted by my hand it’s a quarter past
Purpose by the other one as a forge a path
Ditching the mission ain’t occur to me yet
I envision with every goal I meet further success
I’m a beast who probably deserves more than I get
Cuz they never gives awards for the wit
This here ain’t for the weak
One thing that you should know it ain’t fair, why I make sure that they could never compete
I elevate to a higher level than I could I ever know in my past
Idolized legends, now a youngin all on they ass
I provide lessons, all these rappers all in my class
Only time they ever are in my class you get it
If a pass permitted I let em through that’s the policy
A master in terms of my skill and my autonomy
Gotta be fond of me, if you got good taste,
Running things at a good pace

Chorus:
So check me out son (Make Room)
Yea yea check me out son (Make Room)
Wait a minute check me out son (Make Room)

I was built for and groomed for this before I knew
Forget a dream another rapper’s nightmare gon come true
I’m a monster phenomenal flow man when I go in
This icon clicks you better get with the program, In any application I’m a upgrade
Buffering until I start to streaming what I must say,
Out the brain genius brilliant
Architected I’m the master builder and the blueprint
I am the work and the artist, regardless
If I say I’m just one of several gods I’m being modest
Please, I know what I am I know what I ain’t
I connect from long range and go hard in the paint
Jimmy Buckets when I walk through team on my back though
Know I gotta talk bout the Heat it’s what you asked for
Isn’t it, no box the flow limitless,
In a club of my own there’s no membership
No card holders, just face recognition
For a real one who stay on a roll like large boulders,
All downhill when I rap for real
Premiere spitting guru with the mass appeal
Of course following conviction
Ironic how I’ll do it like it’s never been done still carry on tradition
With dope rhymes over heavy beat breaks
When your presence this big one thing I need space

(Chorus)
