Natural Elements ‎(ft. K.A.) - “I Mean This”


[Emcee(s): K.A.]


[Producer(s): Kosi]


[Co-Producer(s): Charlemagne]


[Sample (Melody): Frank Strazzeri - “Cloudburst” (0:00)]


[Verse 1: K.A.]

I sense that, when the rhyme bubbles in my mind, you’re tense

‘Til I commence to climb your mind. There’s no defense

Heads accept it. No shields are strong enough to

Deflect it. You’ve already been infected

So sit back and let the track float—it’s that dope

Close your lids and let your eyes fill with black smoke. I traveled

On roads of gravel, trying to keep from getting

Unraveled, and I have yet to fall in battle. Sometimes

I rhyme under hypnotic suggestion

And form a lesson, and when I’m done, you must pay for the session

I’m exploring new realms of mystical arts and spells

Cauldrons boiling, emitting foul smells

It’s hard to focus. Yo, I see a sky full of locusts

I’m sure, during Revelations, many will quote this

For seasons, don’t seem to be leaving. Everything’s blending

In some religions, this marks the ending

But don’t fear. Just take my rebel classes

We speak of blind faith ‘cause there’s a lot of asses in the mass

And I’ll be glad to save just one of these mentally

Enslaved, blind, deaf, and dumb, so come and get some


[Hook: K.A.]

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this


[Verse 2: K.A.]

Now I’m back to my regular, the heroic

Predator. All fake teachers, I’m ready to edit ya

So break out ‘cause I rash. The heat-bringer has

The capacity to turn a coastline to glass, and

Here’s some more speech for that ass. I’m taking you back to class

Life is more than just a chase for cash, but that’s

The way of the antihuman. I’m not assuming

It’s serious. The consumer is who he’s consuming, leading ya

Straight to death, comes with a four, it’s frustrating

As an answer for everything, a solution for nothing. Let me

Return. You’re probably lost, without a clue. Just

Remember the original K.A. knows Voodoo, so

Mr., if you’re too proud, I’ll bust your vein, and if you’re

Too loud, it’s my duty to bring shame. I’m clearly

Defined as the kid who meant to stand in the trance, doing

My tribal dance, screaming my chants with y’all


[Hook: K.A.]

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this


[Verse 3: K.A.]

On top of drops is where I’m coasting. Take your meat out

It’s more work than sweeping a desert into the ocean. Call me

Dolby ‘cause my sound’s all around. I would have

Never said, “Toby, your moms would lay me in the ground”

Submit? That’s bullshit (That’s bullshit). Could never sell my

Soul to the Devil to end the lashes of a bullwhip

I’ll be the first to bury ya, hip hop mercenary only

Out to gain. I took his spine and left his brain. Can’t

Be seduced by your temptress. I change form

And storm and billow with the winds of a tempest. Now you

Know my niceness and understand I’m medical crisis

More papers than Isis, but my books are priceless. Now recite this

[Hook: K.A.] (x2)

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this

(K.A.!) I am a genius, I mean this
