Where this dude come from and why is he here?
Came to plant my flag on that hill and f*ck up your career
This album I was out here searchin' for the best producers
Next album they'll be beatin' down my door like intruders
I'm hurtin' em, serious Pain like arthritis
Him and Norris put that golden touch on this shit like Midas
How he come outta nowhere and make a indie Illmatic?
F*ck being diplomatic got rappers hogtied up in the attic
Just like change I'm perceived as a threat
Something wicked this way comes that you'd like to forget
Look youngin, don't make me have to put that bass in my voice
Cuz I promise you'll be wishing that you'd made a different choice
Kaizen translates to continuous improvement
The vibez I'm on ain't just a moment, it's a movement
Journeys of a thousand miles start with the first step
Don't shadowbox to my shit when you got the worst rep
Not even in the title hunt cuz your skills need some work
I'm a natural and soon to be a legend like Kool Herc
This shit all started when Norris threw out a beat challenge
I felt froggy so I jumped cuz I got good balance
Stepped up with no fear and hit 'em with the realness
Hadn't touched a mic in years but I knew they could feel this
Now I'm out here skipping grades on my way to graduation
You and me? We're not even in the same conversation
I'm about to fully eclipse your whole world ... solar
And you gon' need some strong meds to cope ... bipolar
This the perfect verse over a tight beat ... Brown Sugar
Somebody call the cops, need to report a lyrical murder
Nice bars like Miami ... tough bars like a prison
Why you tryin' to say he's mid when you know that he isn't?
Oh you thought I was gonna be gentle with this thing, huh?
Sheeeeeiiiit
Brand new premiere ... I'm HERE FOR IT!
Rookie of the year ... I'm HERE FOR IT!
One billion streams .... I'm HERE FOR IT!
Fulfilling my dreams ... I'm HERE FOR IT!
You hungry? Be sure to save some room for dessert
I'm shoving humble pie down your throat till it hurt
Always respect Norris when he tells me that's not it
Cuz it makes me level up, I'm ready, so don't pop shit
Been in the lab for a minute just perfecting my craft
Highly sought after, going 1st round in the draft
Listen closely ... hear these mainstream rapper's knees knockin?
Saw my library now they like "when are THESE DROPPIN?"
Artists in my indie squad could kill their whole team
Talent that'll give an extreme case of low self-esteem
I just need sixteen bars and then check your assessment
Cuz that's gon' be one helluva return on investment
Better think twice before you look at me sideways
In my Ray Bans pushing whips down the highways
Count your Ls, I'm giving zero f*cks like abstinence
A professional, no tolerance for underhandedness
Might get an outcome that's very unexpected
F*ck around and find out if I'm ever disrespected
Half human, half shark, a maverick like Mark Cuban
When it comes to rap, I'm tryin to be a G.O.A.T. like Rick Rubin
Please save us both some time like D.S.T.
I can sense your bullshit like E.S.P.
This song already a classic, your whole catalogue is cringe
Sadder than a dope fiend with a syringe on a binge
Only a few bars left, I gotta go for the gusto
Rhymes like bullets in that scene from The Matrix when they bust slow
I'm just built different like domestic vs. foreign
These verses iconic and vintage ... Air Jordan
I'm something that you gotta deal with ... can't ignore it
And you can ask all my real ones ... I'm here for it
I'm sure you can find something else to try
It's just, you know, rap isn't it
Brand new premiere ... I'm HERE FOR IT!
Rookie of the year ... I'm HERE FOR IT!
One billion streams .... I'm HERE FOR IT!
Fulfilling my dreams ... I'm HERE FOR IT!
Shoutout to DJ Pain for blessing me with this banger
J-NORRIS ... you killing em my dude!
Yo, I'm in here, and I ain't goin' nowhere
