Can't cheat with the codes

Feelin' like heat from the stove

This ain't a treat for your nose

Balanced and complete for the soul

Three dollars and six dimes

Elite operation on fixed time

Like I'm purifying water and piss wine

Three dollars and six dimes

Rose from the ashes, Cassius

Don't play with it, carve clay with it

Be what I wanna be, bitch, I'm Ali

Play with somebody else, don't try me

My declaration of independence

Believe if I said it, you know I meant it

Yeah, it's the return of the Mahdi

Bringin' back the soul of them akhis

No OCKs, them real aks

What up, sheikh, all gas, no breaks, nah

Try to put pressure, tell me what, I'm not allowed

Say I'm off my deen, but I know my mama proud

Happy that she made it clear

Couldn't make Hajj, now I know she made it there

Gotta follow my inner compass

Know she smilin' when I'm sippin' out of trumpets

Can't cheat with the codes

Feelin' like heat from the stove

This ain't a treat for your nose

Balanced and complete for the soul

Three dollars and six dimes

Elite operation on fixed time

Like I'm purifying water and piss wine

Three dollars and six dimes

Tell me how you love it

Want dope, we could whip it out the cupboard

Till it pop, goin' in sync with it

Make it rock, throw the whole sink in it

You know it tastes better when it's dirty

Got the net on my neck like James Worthy

Stay cleaner than Ajax

Robocop the drop, I'm pushin' it way back

Bunch of bullshit, when you listen to they rap

The realest of the real found Trills in the haystack

Crucial conflicter, rhyme spitter

McFly, time splitter, hitta, I'm sicker

Can't catch this with exposure

Trills stay pumpin' like I made the super soaker

The Black man did it, here's your fun fact

Got the sauce, why you thinkin' they come back

Can't cheat with the codes

Feelin' like heat from the stove

This ain't a treat for your nose

Balanced and complete for the soul

Three dollars and six dimes

Elite operation on fixed time

Like I'm purifying water and piss wine

Three dollars and six dimes

I'm waggin' the finger they get Mutombo

No, no, no

No more dough

Your ends gettin' rough like a jagged edge

I play some Anita and I can smell a pledge

Farina gettin' cooked hot

Koosh on the door, bout to hit him with that hook shot

Can't relate if you ain't from the cloth

Some of y'all was, but now you gotta take it off

It's just a hard sell now

You in the knockoff Gartrell now, uh

Rest in peace, Malcolm

Mac and Jamal, X and all, uh

We shine standin' tall on the pillars

Frauds get destroyed when they up against the builders

Might tear it down just to resurrect it

I'm the soul brother and the mecca

Peace God

Can't cheat with the codes

Feelin' like heat from the stove

This ain't a treat for your nose

Balanced and complete for the soul

Three dollars and six dimes

Elite operation on fixed time

Like I'm purifying water and piss wine

Three dollars and six dimes
