Vital Signs

Yo

Can you pass me that pen real quick?

Can you get me a beer?

Yo, pass me the H straight and the L

And that book right there, word

Yo, I got a pen right here

Yo, I'm so versatile, I think that's my next shit, man

Check it, I'm a backpacker, wack rapper beater

I can read ya, pass me my slack factor meter

Is it on the red? So what does the needle read?

Working hard to ten but you sitting on a little three

I'm so hip-hop, any beat I'm versatile

Boom bap will pay off, get my mom a suburban house

White picket fence, good neighbors

Give everyone a chance like fathers who let you date her

Goals I'll achieve, succeed before I kick the bucket

Nastier than incest, something like kissing cousins

I ain't gassed up, I'm just fuel efficient

You don't use your noggin, that's when I say your roof is missing

Don't hesitate, meditate like a monk, speculate

Then I gravitate to the blunt, fully loaded

Face to face with the gun, speak to hip-hop

Let me converse with myself

Gotta free my mind, man, sit down and write it

I'm feeling versatile and a little excited

If I spit sad then I gotta feel the pain

Give me any topic, throw it my way

Man, I gotta free my mind, man, sit down and write it

I'm feeling versatile and a little excited

If you want knowledge then you gotta use your brain

Give me any topic, throw it my way

Yo, I can do anything, versatile by profession

After school hit the lab, told my mom I'm in detention

I can rhyme words that aren't even meant to

My energy is positive, fluently influential

Count the numbers, I can see the influx

Always making moves but I'm quiet like a ninja

I'm the one who built the cage, reason why you been stuck

Place me first on the stage while all you **** tense up

This ain't a joke, it's my lifestyle

And part one was ten dollars and I had to knock the price down

This the new joint, shit with the better music

Tired of the same chick, she forever clueless

I'm opposite, transform into a leader optimist

Saving hip-hop ever since I got my doctrine

I write a verse with a stone

Use the book as the dirt and the pen as the hoe

Gotta free my mind, man, sit down and write it

I'm feeling versatile and a little excited

If I spit sad then I gotta feel the pain

Give me any topic, throw it my way

Man, I gotta free my mind, man, sit down and write it

I'm feeling versatile and a little excited

If you want knowledge then you gotta use your brain

Give me any topic, throw it my way

Yo, you can hear my words even if the mic is unplugged

Rappers insect, use pesticides to hunt bugs

Not a lawyer, can't you tell I passed the bar test?

Not the one tended by the chick with a large chest

Spit real, you're normally fake

Caught you lip syncing 'cause it was horribly staged

And you pray for my downfall, pray for your afterlife

Read my own palm, I know what my next chapter's like

Underground, I came from the sewer

Dodging these raindrops, just watch how I maneuver

My body's in the States but my thoughts are in Aruba

All our days are getting numbered like a certified looper

They call me Quest, AKA the Golden Child

Did you listen to this song and hear my verse aloud?

Am I A, dope, or B, versatile?

I spit classic like that show with the moving dial

Gotta free my mind, man, sit down and write it

I'm feeling versatile and a little excited

If I spit sad then I gotta feel the pain

Give me any topic, throw it my way

Man, I gotta free my mind, man, sit down and write it

I'm feeling versatile and a little excited

If you want knowledge then you gotta use your brain

Give me any topic, throw it my way
