Allow me to make a proper reintroduction
pardon the interruption
you sleep on me thinking there wouldn't be any repercussions
we don't need no discussions
my banging beats and percussions
leave haters weakened and crushed and
naysayers with a concussion
we can all see its disgusting
how these people be lusting
after MCs who just suck and
really ain't speaking on nothing
don't be scared, I'm prepared, I just needed adjusting
show me the king I'll crush him
like I'm a best in a dungeon
don't spit verses, I lurch them
spreading like germs when you heard them
but I stay cleaner than virgins purging in church with detergent
now watch my evolution, just start a revolution
I'll make sure you forget these rappers, new years resolutions
they only boast, they're supposed to show you some hope
they phony I'll take an oath
cause the game needs growth
Back in it like a tenant
whose lease has just been extended
I'm a menace to my enemies
And I'll be 'til the ending
winning streaks, I end them
better keep on defending
'cause the second you let your guard down
you cats are finished
stop pretending
you only want money cars and women
and you wonder why everybody says that rap is witless?
You only boast you're supposed to show us some hope
you phony, I'll take an oath
'cause the game needs growth
Who's the greatest ain't no need to answer that
man where's my manners at?
You spittin' like you just began to rap
I got cancer raps
sick flows like the track off of the circle, yall remember that?
And my flow's raw, no filter, this ain't a camera app
I got followers like Instagram
because I've been the man
like even as a kid at disneyland
but I ain't finished man
just getting started
pardon me and my retarded flow
tearing apart competition
leaving them scarred so you know
that I go hard with the flow
artist who's starving but no
not for the profit, acknowledge I went from novice to pro
these other artists are faux
F-A-U-X, not an O
they just follow up acts
modeled after who started the show
P-Y-R to the O
scorching and charring my foes
original while your favorite rapper be borrowing flows
making moves I won't sit back and play a part or a role
this time it's not just my fro
you're now, watching my growth

Brilliant

Some people say that it's pure talent
Some people say that it's dumb luck
They send hate, and they send malice
But really I don't give one fuck
'Cause I feel like the greatest in the world
I know I'm not yet, I'm just waiting on my turn
My lyrics all hot, making all these jaws drop
'Til they lock, and these suckers can't say another word
That's Brilliant
(That's Brilliant mayne,
see the game done changed and you still the same
I still remain, you'll never kill the flame
I got big dreams, and you're still awake)
Homie that's brilliant
(That's brilliant mayne,
see the game done changed and you still the same)
It was all a dream
Hold up, drop
it was all a dream
All I'm wondering is when did I fall asleep
You see, 'cause every single time that I try to get some rest
It never works, the music keeps calling me
Flow priceless, dollar tree
Whack rappers is all I see
I could wipe them out with no apology
And leave the scene like the Roanoke Colony
You'll be like "Have you seen that dude?"
You're never gonna see him boy, Dreamcast 2
And I mean that too
Once I get into your ears, you can never get me out
That's a mean tattoo
Think you're better? Tryna make it to my spot? Well...
You'd do better tryna tell us how your snot smell(s)
I excel in the areas you lack at
Have you feeling dumb like you're running with a backpack
Anytime that I hop up on a beat
There ain't nothing you can tell me man
You're trying to compete, but your rhymes are weak
And your flow's worse than Ray Charles' selfie game
She was looking for a real man she knows you're not one
Now she's all in my bed like granola bar crumbs
I asked her why she's into me, she looked towards me
and said "You got a way with words like a bookstore thief"
That's brilliant mayne
See the game done changed and you're still the same
I still remain, you'll never kill the flame
I got big dreams, and you're still awake
That's brilliant mayne
See the game done changed and you're still the same
I still remain, you'll never kill the flame
I know you want me to stop, but I'm here to stay
Some people say that its pure talent
Some people say that its dumb luck
They send hate, and they send malice
But really I don't give one fuck
'Cause I, feel like the greatest in the world
I know I'm not yet, I'm just waiting on my turn
My lyrics all hot
Making all these jaws drop
'Til they lock, and these suckers can't say another word
Like that
Cliche "I'm back"
It's like I never left by the way my tracks
replay, matter fact
DJ, bring it back
Kicking flows, I need a knee brace when I rap, man
Got your CD and its sitting in my trash can
Step it up homie all you do is tap dance
Dropping weak songs
Claiming that you're dropping bombs
I'm trying to get rid of them, like the 60's Batman
Remember playing Pac-Man
In the back of my class
Had the Game Boy hidden in my backpack
Middle school's where I started writing raps at
I was a nerd, when I read them, I was laughed at
Claiming that I had more money than Bill Gates
I thought that shit was real, but it really was real fake
Saying I was rich, I wasn't then, and I still ain't
Thought I was the shit, I wasn't then, and I still ain't
Fast forward senior year, see I had more
Songs in my notebook than words on the blackboard
I made a song with anybody who would ask, or
You need a beat? I got you covered like a hat store
I gotta make it, Pyromaniac, Track four
That was my one goal like I was a task force
Rap game weak, man what you think I rap for?
You thinking you're a star? Nah, black dwarf
That's brilliant mayne
See the game done changed and you're still the same
I still remain, you'll never kill the flame
I got big dreams, and you're still awake
That's brilliant mayne
See the game done changed and you're still the same
I still remain, you'll never kill the flame
I know you want me to stop, but I'm here to stay
Some people say that its pure talent
Some people say that its dumb luck
They send hate, and they send malice
But really I don't give one fuck
'Cause I, feel like the greatest in the world
I know I'm not yet, I'm just waiting on my turn
My lyrics all hot
Making all these jaws drop
'Til they lock, and these suckers can't say another word
Like that

These suckas can’t hold me back
God MC. This a holy track.
Negativity, nah I don’t need that
See its only good vibes where my homies at
Sayin’ “Oh he’s wack” But I don’t react
'Cause I know these suckas only into phony raps
You say you got skills, but I don’t see that
Your verse is all fiction. Show me facts
The only way I’d have a chance of losin’
Is if Pac and Biggie did the dance for fusion
I leave all my competition in a trance. Confuse ‘em
Man they're thinking that they're better? That’s a damn delusion
I aim, shoot, straight for the stars
You ran out of ideas and take some of ours
I can tell you why they all wanna listen to me:
I GO HAM, like GOTHAM CITY missing a T, yeah
We go hard because you know that we can
So I’m in the booth snapping like a poetry slam
10 o’clock in Cincinnati, hope I make it home
Man I’m killing everything boy--Game of Thrones, ha
You get a free pass
I’m hot, but they’re sleeping on me--decaf.
Your girl is my addiction I feed that.
I get my fix, then I’m dipping, teabag
You had enough yet?
That was a low blow, no cup check
Man these whack rappers out here, claiming that they up next
I don’t wanna hear it like my parents having rough sex!
That’s cringe-worthy, does the crown fit? 'Cause I’ve been worthy
I’ve been up all night that’s no sleep
Stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak
boy
(I've been up all night that's no sleep
stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak, boy)
(I've been up all night that's no sleep
stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy)
I've been up all night, that's no sleep
You're saying you're the best? Better show me
Fans overdosing on the dope beats
And I don't like to boast, let the flow speak
Don't let me get in my zone, please
Spitting like a nigga got no teeth
Eyes red like I blow trees
RIP to the old me
Back with a vengeance
Man skip acceptance
Nickname me Dennis
I've been a menace
Man quit pretending you can keep up with the best
I kill the game, you're just sweeping up the mess
Ha, You're just sweeping up the mess
DJ Khaled flow, we the fucking best
I ain't even hot yet, man I'm heating up at best
No sleep, no sleep, man I need some fucking rest
I need to take a break
Rap game full of fakes
And the garden's full of snakes
So I gotta watch my step
Be among the greats
It's a dream I gotta chase
I've been chasing it so long that I'm running out of breath
Had to give myself a little time to breathe
Killing shit since January 26, '93
You wanna hate? That's fine with me
'Cause I connect to real people like we're Siamese
I don't listen to your music
Why? You see
I really hate hearing somebody lie to me
I'm everything that you try to be
Real like the people who inspire me
So live that I gotta write four wills
I ain't talking about the car that you ride in, see
No Toyota, no GM, no Ford, Honda, Pontiac
Sleep is for the weak, and I'm restless, that's an insomniac
No Toyota, no GM, no Ford, Honda, Pontiac
Sleep is for the weak, and I'm restless, that's an insomniac
No sleep
(I've been up all night that's no sleep
stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy)
(I've been up all night that's no sleep
stop claiming you're the best and let the flow speak boy)

Bitter:
Drop
See they used to laugh because I sucked in the beginning
Now they're getting mad because they see a nigga winning
If their chick is bad, then they know I have to smash
Tell them they can have her back after all my homies get it
See they used to laugh, because I never had shit
Thought that I was whack, because I didn't rap bricks
But now I'm spitting crack
They don't know how to react
Because I'm making all their tracks sound simple as shit
You bitter ass bitch
[Verse 1: Dankwa]
Guess who's back in the booth
They tried to shut me up, because I'm rapping the truth
I'ma bring down the house, pouring gas on the roof
Let that motherfucker burn, see I'm acting aloof
Hip Hop is dead? The casket was loose
I'ma pull it back out, save it faster than you
could imagine, leave these rappers back in the tomb
Like how much shit these rappers say is actually true?
You can do anything you set your mind to
I just wish I took my own advice
Quit buying time, auctions are not an option
Going once, going twice
The flow is nice, it's cold as ice
I control my life, no rolling dice
Can't win if your heart isn't into that shit
Keep pushing, don't become a bitter ass bitch
See they used to laugh because I sucked in the beginning
Now they're getting mad because they see a nigga winning
If their chick is bad, then they know I have to smash
Tell them they can have her back after all my homies get it
See they used to laugh, because I never had shit
Thought that I was whack, because I didn't rap bricks
But now I'm spitting crack
They don't know how to react
Because I'm making all their tracks sound simple as shit
You bitter ass bitch
[Verse 2: Swilla]
Sit back, let me show you how to spit raps
Shit's so dope, would've thought I flip packs
But I've been in this class
With a pen and this pad
Give me any beat and I could make a hit fast
His ass could rap? Who would've thought that?
Snapping on a track like he thought it was a bra strap
Wreck this beat like a coupe
If you need that proof
Let me give you this Carfax
I'm here to stay
You better clear the way
Do my own thing, getting weird today
Make the whole damn crowd cheer for days
And getting all my old peers to hate
I'll give them years of greatness
Play this if you don't believe
Too cold, get a cold, get frozen, please
Yeah, play this if you don't believe
I'm too cold zero degrees
Swilla
(D.A.N.K.W.A. starts here)
Said I'm a dope ass nigga
kicking it with attitude
Dope ass nigga
Kicking it with attitude
Dope ass nigga
Kicking it with attitude
Dope ass nigga
Let me show you how I do
D.A.N.K.W.A.
Hit the booth and spit nothing but flames
Family name, 'cause we're one and the same
I'm a glitch, bitch, I'm here to fuck up the game
I'm hitting tracks while you niggas slackin'
Just quit the act, you ain't with the action
Your bitch is bad? Nah your bitch is Katniss
We'll fuck you up in front of her, Lenny Kravitz, Ha
Don't let Dank in the zone
Don't let Dank in the zone
I'm making it known
That I'm taking the throne
If they're saying I won't
I go straight for their throat
Leave them shaking and cold
When I aim for a goal
there's no way that I'll fold
Yeah I'm changing I know
But I pray and I hope
I remain as a dope
ass nigga, kicking it with attitude
Dope ass nigga
Kicking it with attitude
Dope ass nigga
Kicking it with attitude
Dope ass nigga
Kicking it with attitude
I'm spitting crazy shit
turn on the radio hear that lazy shit
If you hate me bitch
I ain't phased a bit
Right now my concern is making it
I go ham, you niggas bacon bits
(Fades out)
