You know what I mean You could put a label on a life, Put a label on a lifestyle Sometimes... You know Put a label on how you wake up every morning And go to bed at night
I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits I mastered numerology and big bang theology Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology Invented the mic so I could start blessin it Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist Many men have tried to shake us But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I’mmade of I buckle knees like leg braces Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees whohate us So you can try on, Leave you without a shoulder to cry on From now to infinity let icons be bygones I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this I tried threats but moved on to a promise I stomp shit with or without an accomplice And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
You know what I mean You could put a label on a life, Put a label on a lifestyle Sometimes... You know Put a label on how you wake up every morning And go to bed at night
