[Intro]

Word is bond, son (Yeah, yeah)

Parkside in this piece (That's my word is bond, kid, it's the infinite)

One time for your mid-ind, ahh


[Chorus]

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)


[Verse 1]

Yo, it started like this when I was just a seed

Hip-hop I used to bleed, this what my moms would feed

Yo, that was nourishment, KRS-One gave me encouragement

Now I got crowds for mouths comin' for service and

Ready for whatevеr, we all down together

It's all raps and don't еven ask whose host is better

Take it from the prodigal son, the logical one

Been leapin' over obstacles before I learned how to run

Now I'm in this spotlight doin' my thing (Yeah)

Pursuing that cream, I flew into Queens

When I reached the Guadia, I felt like the Mafia

Family all around me (Yeah), screamin' that they proud of me

So you wanna box, slap box, keep representin'

You had my attention like President Clinton

This whole rap game reminds me of a video

Filled with landmines and shiesty individuals


[Chorus]

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)


[Verse 2]

Enter at your own risk, now the industry's yours

When I came in the door, I put that shit on pause

Made the world stop and look, who's that that got 'em shook?

Yo, it's the infinite one (Yeah), ain't no halfway crooks

So what you sayin', son? I come correct when I flow

Gettin' dough, layin' low, but keep the crowd saying ho

Like a time bomb set to ignite, give me that mic (Uh-huh)

So I can excite your night and keep it tight (Aight)

I break you down to your simplest form (Yeah)

Word is bond, I gets it on when my pencil is worn

Bringin' night to the day, I bring light to the dark

A little hype to the arc, then put my mic on the chart

Representin' family, 'cause you is the bomb to me

And for this year's Grammy, I'm a nominee

See, I be around for infinity

Keepin' this whole rap industry vibin' on my energy


[Chorus]

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)


[Verse 3]

One time for your mind, I only come once, this out a lifetime

Original sun that shine (Yeah), every rhyme divine

And on point like a sniper

Shuttin' down rappers in your cypher, you wack, change that diaper

No questions asked, I'm on it with the quick fast

Sure to blast, reign forever, watch the forecast

'Cause I predict that my engine's gonna rock the fence

To put it simply, I be eatin', kid, so don't tempt me

Twelve and up, I hold 'em hostage, trapped in they projects (Yeah)

Rappers when they see me wanna change the topic

But every now and then they front like they know a shorty

That can take me out, but, yo, I know it's all a story

I come through and fall like a superstar

Kids up at the mall be like, "I know who you are"

Yeah, they make me laugh when they be askin' for my autograph

But that's what happens when you blowin' up the broadcast


[Chorus]

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)

From the alpha to omegas, I continue to shine

And forever rock rhymes for the mentally blind

From the womb to the tomb and there would be no equivalent

(My skills are infinite)
