[Intro]

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together

And help me welcome to the stage

All the way live from Los Angeles, California... Defari!


[Verse 1]

Never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my moms who gave me the birth right

I fight for righteousness, that's what I feel in my heart

You wickedness, you infidel, you was weak from the start

And I'll part your brain like Moses parted the sea

Come walk with me

My debut album, it's all prophecy

No predictions in my knack, can't mock me

Got to hear this at least two times, then you can copy

And by then, I move on to new dimension

Defari stack the advance, plus prepare pension

Find my niche, don't glitch for the popular

This beat is ill, it give me that Pavarotti feel, that opera

Classical Beatdown, verbally

Like Ultramagnetic, I make sure that you heard of me

The record spins at 33 and a third RPMs

The shinin' star win and drop another gem


[Hook]

Never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my moms who gave me the birth right

I never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my will to ill and get the crowd hype


[Verse 2]

Murderous be these snares and bass kicks

Evidence, we from the mental, we keeps it basic

Complex with simplicity to the utmost

These comedians on the mic, yo, yo, I think they better let it go

'Cause this flow is strictly ammo

Microphones are not for these niggas who don't have no

Skill – yet in still, they insist they only do if for fun

Fuck that – feel the gun from my burning tongue

Lightning bolts from my throat

Electrify through these jokes, I burn holes

And tear frames, shred all papers with birth names

Wack MC's can't exists, no way up in the pro game

Not me, man

Caliber that a scavenger couldn't even bite

With food, water, and adequate light

A piece of paper to write, a pen

And right when he begin

Defari comes smashing in


[Hook]

Never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my moms who gave me the birth right

I never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my will to ill and get the crowd hype


[Verse 3]

Everyday is a regiment, on a quest to blow settlements

False prophets come to my door, selling false testaments

I get calls on the phone, "No, he's not home"

Collectors and solicitors, please, leave me the fuck alone

Yo, I come in this country, you always owe that

Two steps forward, three steps backward type flow

That's got to go

Defari got a hot show

Trademark of my crew – live Likwit pro

Special MC with ability

Beyond what the eye can see

Herut spiritually, pure divinity

Manifest physically

Rain lyrics 'cause it's cloudy and windy

Nothing prevent me, from banging' heads in Canada, Philly

L.A., New York, out to Italy

My peoples feelin' me, that's what counts the most

We keep it tight and do it right

We come up and then we toast


[Hook]

Never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my moms who gave me the birth right

I never lose touch, never lose sight

Never lose sight of my will to ill and get the crowd hype


[Outro]
