Grabbin’ the Mic - Intellectual

[Chorus: Gradient]

Keep it steady when we’re on the beat

Smash that new track

When it’s Ogar Burl and me

Cats ask who’s that

When the beat make you tap your feet

That’s that boom bap

Why hello, we’ll be your MCs for today!

Stay rappin’ it right

When we grabbin’ the mic

And when I'm grabbin' the mic

Sit back and listen if you're lackin' the fight

You can bite raps, or you can think of where your life's at

Turn it into poetry and burn it to ignite that

I quite fast bypass half-assed plots

Then flare up the next with the fire that I've got

I've got necks goin', noddin' heads 'til they strain

And pass the controller; I've got next game

I play an emcee like Tetris, get it?

When the pieces come together, it's connected

I tested the water when I jumped the hell in

You fell in and froze and you're slowly meltin'

You dig your own grave, I make you lay down

Could say that I'm the bully on the playground

Yo, it ain't way profound, it's just better

So flock to the beat, sheep cede to the shepherd

And when I’m grabbin’ the mic

I’m like a scientist when I’m in the lab and I write

Now they askin’ why is this kid rappin’ he’s white

But I got love for the hip-hop I happen to bite off

While Nas, KRS-One and Kool G

Were rappin’ in cyphers I was crappin’ in diapers

So I show respect to the men who came first

I ain’t half steppin’ on a Daddy Kane verse

But I got the spirit of hip-hop I mirror the tip-top

You’re hearin’ my shit drop

You hear me comin’ like I’m wearin’ some flip-flops

And I got you noddin’ to the beat ‘till it stops

The New Deal, depression remover

I’m FDR, you’re President Hoover

I’m like Ghostface with the clientele he’s on

More bass than the Seinfeld theme song
