Action!

Nice!

So fickle and unworthy

And at my best you don't deserve me

But I'll give it to you anyway

And you can listen to this every day

All this wisdom is too cold for you

Didn't even listen till they told you to

So why should I respect the wishes of a sheep

As you sleep, as you creep, that is never what a soldier do

This face is way too misplaced to be disgraced

By these slaves and ingrates with shit taste

Respect a being from a higher realm

And know that there's a clear difference between I and them

And I do it cause I love you

But not as much as I love this

1 - 2000 kicks with my kung fu

All the secrets of the world in my clutched fist

My vision is too bold for you

Didn't even listen till they told you to

And now that I'm inside a dream of my making

Everything for the taking, best accept that this was overdue

My sonic legacy forever be theocracy

I will never land inside a pit of mediocrity

Forever grand, a shooting star inside a spectacle

I wrestle with these scars and split a sea of people watching me

And half of me is Quincy Jones routing dials

And half is MJ listening to Downward Spiral

Between sessions of greatness, this is History

Fuck obsessions of fakeness, I live in mystery

I might have raged but I've never been a man of hate

Almighty Zeus with a thunder that you can't debate

This is what a GOD feels like

No fucking wonder that you can't relate

Inside a friendless haze since middle school

And ridiculed against my very nature, I'm invincible

I stuck it out, I'm so intense, it's what I'm made to do

Like Kool G Rap inside an endless maze of syllables

2 Action 2 Nice

2 Passion 2 Christ

2 Vast 2 Curious

Since birth, I've been ready for this dance, a fighting medley

Master of my method, call me Michael Makaveli

Married to the message and the sex is nice and steady

Carrying this level of a D is kinda heavy (Jam!)

Now you on a mission to fuck me

Your boyfriend and ex man both wishin' they was me

Only give my seed to a billion dollar chick

No sucker shit, word to Ice T and Bun B (Jam!)

And even if I kinda sorta like you

I will never wife you

Forever married to this mission

I will carry out this vision to attention

And do everything despite you

I'm a king at 3:33

I'm a Prince at 4:32

And by 7 I'm a servant to a god

Full of mercy and rewards if you surrender every verse in you

And if I die dedicated to my craft

200 hours in the studio, awake without a bath

With my final masterpiece of fire, stuck in the session room

A secret from your ears unless your luck is exceptional

Forever trapped inside the isle of gods

A willing prisoner, I'm strapped inside a timeless war

A lion roaring through the ages, every mindless horror

Blasted with a fragrance of victory and shining honor

Weaponize my rhymes and beats like they're my father's guns

Playing DOOM inside my psyche like I'm a modern Hun

My mom's ex tried to tell me that I wasn't shit

.... but I'm my father's son

A synesthete inside Vienna, hiding out where Billy Joel be

Let the music fill me up with love before it kills me slowly

Still see the world through eyes only a child could

No childhood, the rest of my life is now my childhood

Innocence

Ripped at the grassroots

Little things

Wisdom and values

So past the silly shit that I could never fake convenience

Rock 'N Roll's guinea pig for how far it could take a genius

All these lame ass suits regretting their decisions

Every vision is a deja vu I follow like religion

It's a blessing, save your weapons as you're clutching at the fruits

100 PROOF every second you're confronted with the truth

That GOD is a SAVAGE

Love isn't for pussies

Make that shit happen and fuck wishing what could be

Only a few men

You're a symbol now

No longer a human

So principled and dutiful

That even if my audience was just me

The only witness and spectator

It would still be just as visceral and beautiful

Too valuable to be ignored

Join the ride as my disciples as we speed toward

A true salvation of

Only a few men

You're a symbol now, no longer a human
