A-Alikes

Well, if she rocks like a spitter, and she flows like a spitter

Then you know she's a spitter, and she probably is

And if she walks like a spitter, and she talks like a spitter

Don't floss, please forgive her, she probably is

And if she writes like a spitter, hold the mic like a spitter

Pause, boys, ain't no gutter, you know that she is

And if she rhymes like a spitter, know she rhymes like a spitter

Who rhymes like a spitter, you know who it is

A burnt sky scorched the earth's flesh

At the same time, the murderous text arose

Like a phoenix with the glow of death

A poet two steps ahead, like Noah just left

Mo' and sex, holdin' TEC's, no (I'm not what you'd expect)

Golden pen exposin' men false like a fallen disciple

All in the Bible, the cause is the callin' haiku

The love of words, language, liquor phrased

Slang a Mecca-raised skyscraper

Look, a future brighter than your jewels of praise

This life must be what divorce court be like

I fall apart right just to stay right

Call this court like night calls the daylight

We A-alike, see alike, but you don't hear me though

When everything else just don't go right

Even if we just pretend that we alright

Call this court like night calls the daylight

We A-alike, see alike, but you don't hear me though

For lack of better words, well, that's actually the worst

The vernacular must map, first, a path of better verse

Heads are cursed, I rap backwards like I roll, backwards

Flip the same line, another track, yes, accurate

I've mastered it, fucked rhyme

Killed its father, bastardized it

Masqueraded, I roll, drive by and patronize it

Must analyze it slow, mathematical

Crack addicts pull, my rock will take you high

Like astronomical planes

The money changes hands this year

With this here lisp, you disappear

My bliss is rippin' spheres of discs

The wax heatedness, bleedin' black, blacker

Dreamin' of a Caddie, black leather seated

Beats bangin', heats that

Serial scratch Nina, police trackin' us all

And side track 'em in an alley and laugh at the law

You see, my way of doin' things is sorta different

Never resort to riffin', I just snuff and keep it steppin', listen

Heavy stomp like I'm gravity in hand, smashin' the floor

Splashed jagged, shrapnel slappin' your jaw

I'm like Bill's wife, packin' a sword

You must be outta your gourd

The girl's insane, but I told you before

This life must be what divorce court be like

I fall apart right just to stay right

Call this court like night calls the daylight

We A-alike, see alike, but you don't hear me though

When everything else just don't go right

Even if we just pretend that we alright

Call this court like night calls the daylight

We A-alike, see alike, but you don't hear me though

Irrational thoughts often could find me squeezin' the cork often

Competin' with wino heathens to squeeze in a coffin

The alcoholic in me's almost slaughtered

Like the travelin' door to doorsman

Who was found indoors with the farmer's daughter, Lauren

I freak a little forward, speak a little proper grammar

Rapper with a capital R, back with no capital

Fact is, I'm hazardous, Angela's hell immaculate

Poems rap like I'm in an obsessive compulsive cabinets

Neat, but still dirty, elite, but still worldly

To peak maybe at thirty, I speak tha I ain't worthy yet

So grab your drinks and toast 'em to the future

Jean's a trouper, so they say, but I ain't met no one truer

This life must be what divorce court be like

I fall apart right just to stay right

Call this court like night calls the daylight

We A-alike, see alike, but you don't hear me though

When everything else just don't go right

Even if we just pretend that we alright

Call this court like night calls the daylight

We A-alike, see alike, but you don't hear me though
