Yeah,
let the tape run.
Check the levels. (uh-huh)
I treat the cadence like an architect blueprinting lines Every syllable weighted,
hitting right on the time They rush the track,
sweating out a minute of hype I let the needle sit and
let the vintage ignite (woo)
Cadence so surgical, needle on groove
Never gotta hustle when you already move
Watch how the masterwork lands on the grid Nobody doing it the
way that I did (never)
Sharp with the tongue,
heavy with the weight
Clocking every second, never coming in late
Flipping syllables easy while they stumble their speech Got the standard held
up way out of their reach I keep the tone locked,
resonance pure Writing out the script with an absolute cure (yeah) Head-nod
steady when the verse unwinds Leaving twenty years of heavy classics behind
Watch how the masterwork lands on the grid Nobody doing it the
way that I did (nobody)
Sharp with the tongue,
heavy with the weight
Clocking every second, never coming in late
No tricks, no gimmick on the tape Just pure form in the
ultimate shape
(just listen)
Watch how the masterwork lands on the grid Nobody doing it the
way that I did (you know it)
Sharp with the tongue,
heavy with the weight
Clocking every second, never coming in late (never late!)
That's how it's done.
First take. (haha)
