Zen Approach (Cradle Mix) [feat. Black Thought]

It's time... yeah

Word... give it to 'em, ha

Line for line

You gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought from the legendary 5th Dyn

Yo, yo, you wasn't payin' attention

Them henchmen hit the entrance, drenchin'

Wasn't no means of intervention

A dollar bill will make a hundred and ten Yen, son

How much you willin' to sacrifice to win, huh?

I personally done paid mine and then some

Climbed up an inch at a time, now, who the Zen one?

If not self, whom else could you depend on?

Friends gon' swear it's aight and probably been wrong

I got them battlefield dents in my armor

A twitch from the drama, the trees, and bad Karma

But yo, I'm a precision procedure performer

We operate every night and leave in the mornin'

To get you high as a kite is the reason you wanted

It's like, a direct flight from freezin' to burnin' hot shit

The audience fiend for this fix (Uh-huh)

And Krush come with the guillotine for this mix, like...

Line for line

You gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought from the legendary 5th Dyn

Talkin' bout, ha – line for line

We gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought, legendary 5th Dyn

Yo, who got they fingers on the carousel, locked in position?

It's got to be my man, the turntable tactician

You all in a hush, silent, tryin' to listen

You wanna feel this realness that Riq's spittin'

It got ya head split, ya eyes can't stop twitchin'

The only thing that you can do is just rock to the rhythm

Thought puttin' down, 'cause he's the world-renowned

See me lickin' rhymes, rappin' like I'm firin' rounds

And um, you now in tune to this infinite sound

And um, the revolution poppin' off right now

I make you raise ya fist, raise an eyebrow

Raise ya fifth and bust it at the flag like BLAOW

Them fuck-boy **** try to keep it on a hush

But Black Thought spit it, 'cause the people want the rush

You feel; that's why the audience fiend for this fix

And Krush come with the guillotine for this mix, like...

Line for line

We gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought from the legendary 5th Dyn

Talkin' bout, ha – line for line

We gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought, legendary 5th Dyn

Yo, I got that renaissance, turn-of-the-century choke

And I'ma do the people right if y'all just gimme the vote

We finna ride, hang 'em high, Krush, give me the rope

See all them porcelain chin cats gettin' it broke

One at a time, now, let's focus on who the don

When your blade's sharp as mine, the people want you to rhyme

They want you to spill

For me, it's not nothin' for real

Me and my man runnin' Japan, yo, he tough on the wheel

He blow ya mind like bustin' the steel

I give the crowd somethin' to feel

The sound got the power to heal

It's like The Green Mile, now I need an hour to chill

A quarter of kill, to burn while patrollin' the field

I'm puttin' rappers out cold

I done rocked from Tokyo to the North Pole

Whenever my man program the pass code, y'all receive the fix

Aiyyo Krush, come with the guillotine for this mix, yo

Line for line

Gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought, from the legendary 5th Dyn

Yo, talkin' bout – line for line

We gotta get it, but a little at a time

Zen approach – gradually, I'ma get mine

Black Thought, from the legendary 5th Dyn

Yo... line for line

Gotta get it, a little at a time

Zen approach

Zen approach your mind

Black Thought, legendary 5th Dyn – we set to shine
