Lyrics

I'm the original

I'm the original

I'm the original

I'm the original

Yeah, who is this character?

I'm the original

You can imitate it

But never duplicate it

Just like a cat you copy

But the Xerox came out sloppy

Try to do it faster

But I am the master

Now you're getting nervous

'Cause I'm coming to the surface

There's only one Grim Reaper, yes there's only one

**** try to steal my name and fame but they are my sons

Slapbox with spirits, knuckle up with omens

Try to bite my flow and, and your mouth be foaming

Act hard I murder each one of 'em

Toast roast the back of their heads

But blew brains to y'all in front of 'em

Done with 'em, now they are forgotten

'Cause I pick fights the way slaves pick cotton

Grim Reaper, AKA the Grinch

I've been hated for a while

On trial, mind state murder, premeditated

Evidence is my twelve inch

Chilling with D Smooth, Pac and also Vince

Murders mapped out in every measure

Bury enemies like they're treasure

Give the Reaper so much pleasure

Lyrics are kept in stacks, knapsacks and mental racks

Rhymes so crazy, son it's sad to have my tracks

Next, I ring them, crews, I sling them

Bring them all, I'll destroy your whole kingdom

I see all these **** in their video and I wonder

If they're individually pussy and no safety is in numbers

All big head rappers I will diss them

The world is too little, Grim Reaper run the fucking solar system

I got mad flows, yeah you stole some

You thought you had the cookie but you only have the cookie crumbs

Slash strokes in verbal combat

You stress your brain to the limit, well I stress mine beyond that

Send all pawns, I roll with knights and rooks

If looks can kill, then your crew kill with looks

I battle ten men, what's dying ten men

For those who scheme on, dream on like Brian Benben

Master loose leaf but rhyme books tight

Not afraid to face death 'cause I know what he looks like

You can imitate it

But never duplicate it

Just like a cat you copy

But the Xerox came out sloppy

Try to do it faster

But I am the master

Now you're getting nervous

'Cause I'm coming to the surface

Nah, I didn't do that man

What?

That's crazy man, that ain't my drawing man

Biting your style man and they coming out here

Making money like trying to hustle me man

Scooby Doo

Miscarriage all thoughts impregnated

Abort pre-actions, dreams are terminated

Your cranium's transparent, I can see right through you

Plus your speech is incoherent

Distortions of dialect communication

Damn, now I gotta stomp y'all like communism

As you paradox I rock solid like a prism

Since paralyzed I don't paint pretty pictures

In my lyric books, hip-hop holy scriptures

Aggravated 'cause my spine severed

I rhyme forever, dime a dozen, what? Me? Never

Legs can't move but in my head I dance

I wear a hobo straightjacket with a crooked pants

As your shit go blah blah, shit go blucker blucker

Step to me and crash motherfuckers like a sleepy trucker

If you try to front like you're all that

I'll send you mail, but all mail sent will be black

'Cause you tell lies and white claim you right

But out of hundred percent of rappers ninety-nine percent bite

A sniper bullet derailed me

But like I said with KMD, all hail me

You can imitate it

But never duplicate it

Just like a cat you copy

But the Xerox came out sloppy

Try to do it faster

But I am the master

Now you're getting nervous

'Cause I'm coming to the surface
