Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Relax with pep
[Verse 2]
My styles will move, I'm calm but deadly
Heat up but cool, I'm rough as a right hook
But still look smooth, even when I'm unseen
I show and prove - women, I give 'em pain and still soothe
As I'll put you down but I'm hard to put up with
Swell up like helium but I can make it fit
I'm taking what I want and make you wanna give it here
Provoking you to flaunt, you get the idea
Got it, gone, my schedule is packed
My day is laidback cause I'm ahead of all that
Then I can relax cause I'm before my time
I hand you a manual before the rhymes
So you can catch up and keep up and move right along
The day is kind of off but I can get it on
I'm taking it step by step and when the night is in depth
It's cool cause I'm relaxed with pep
[Verse 3]
Relaxed with pep
[Verse 4]
I enchant a riot with a quiet storm
Is it the way I parlay or the knowledge being born
All praises due to the magnificent, most high and magnificent
From him, I was sent with intent to invent
New ways for better displays for better days
No more crimes, I got rhymes and it pays
I'm prepared to take mine and get mine
And I can protect mine either with a rhyme or a nine
A silent rage but if amplified
Rhymes multiply, it's hard to provoke when I
Put a mode in effect, the episode's correct
Reload and you don't know what code to respect
I get swift and changeable, adapt and master
But still remaindable, rap gets faster
Reacts and projects, attracts and it gets
To the max, it's in depth, it attacks but it's relaxed with pep
[Verse 5]
Relaxed with pep
Relaxed with pep
Relaxed with pep
[Verse 6]
Check one, them I'm a check another one too
The R's brand new so you can view a few
I got a exquisite, exhibit, explicit
Is it a whiz kid or Kid Wizard? Well, is it?
Relax, I'll track out, lap the half stepper
Here come the right one baby I'm Dr. Pepper
So check the Richter, scale rhymes overload
Blow up and explode, abrupt and reload the code
You can't pinpoint or locate, the rate
Or evaluate the up to date, stayed
Up front, laid back, coming off on track
Girls want some of this because I'm all that
Sweat the concept as the ep's in depth
As the track is kept, you can't intercept the step
Reacts and projects and attracts and it gets
To the max and in depth, it attacks but it's relaxed with pep
[Verse 7]
Relax with pep
