Layered - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Yo, I'm spittin' flames in the game, no propane, just brainwaves crashin' like tidal forces

Divin' deep into the psyche, Mike Tyson bites, but I'm bitin' back with forceps

Force-fed the fortune, unfortunate sons gunnin' for the throne, but I'm the orphan king

Ringin' bells like Pavlov's dogs, salivatin' for the Pavlovian ring—ding, ding!

I'm the shadow boxer, dodgin' jabs from the jabberwocks, talkin' nonsense in verse

Curse the hearsay, hear me say I'm the hearse way, buryin' beats in reversе

Perverse twists, likе a wristwatch tickin' backwards, actors playin' parts in my script

Gripped the mic tight, night light for the frights, but I'm the eclipse that flipped the switch

Layers peel back like onions in the kitchen, cryin' eyes wide, hidin' the mission

Double meanin' schemin', dreamin' of the fission—splittin' atoms, pattin' backs with precision

Puns run rampant, campin' in your cranium, blame me um for the pandemonium

Sophisticated play, day trade in the gray—shade thrown, but I'm the stadium

I'm the architect erectin' bars, not prison cells but hell's bells tollin' for the felons

Sellin' souls wholesale, whole tale twisted like a melon—cantaloupe, can't elope with the felon

Elopin' with eloquence, elephants in the room trumpet truth, but I'm the poacher

Coachin' roaches to encroach on the throne, bone thrown to the vultures—culture vulture

Vulture picks at the carcass, harsh kiss from the narcissist, list of hits I dismiss

Missed the point like a joint unlit, split the difference, inference in the mist

Mystic river flowin', knowin' the current's currency, urgency in the surge, see?

Merge me with the urgency, surgeon precise, slice life with the urgency—emergency!

Layers peel back like onions in the kitchen, cryin' eyes wide, hidin' the mission

Double meanin' schemin', dreamin' of the fission—splittin' atoms, pattin' backs with precision

Puns run rampant, campin' in your cranium, blame me um for the pandemonium

Sophisticated play, day trade in the gray—shade thrown, but I'm the stadium

Third degree burns from the wordplay furnace, earnest earnest in the urn, ashes learn this:

Turn this page, rage cage unlocked, stocked with rockets, pockets full of curses

Curse words curved like a swerve on the highway, way high on the byway, bye way—farewell

Well, well, well—three holes in the ground, sound profound, but I'm the clown prince, hell

Hell-bent on the ascent, scent of descent in the vent, rent due for the tent—intent

Intention tension, pension for the pretension, mention the dimension I invent

Event horizon risin', sizin' up the prizes, eyes on the horizon—surprisin'?

Arisin' from the risin', bison stampede, need to feed on the bison—buy son!

Slow it down now, crown found in the lost and found, sound profound but it's ground down

Pound for pound, hound on the trail, fail to prevail, sail into the gale—whale of a tale

Tail end of the story, glory gory like a quarry, worry buried in the hurry

Furry fury flurry, blurry lines define the crime—time's the prime suspect, inspect

Fade out on the fade route, doubt shout from the crowd, loud but I'm the shroud

Cloud nine fine, but I'm the line drawn, dawn breakin'—awakin' the proud

Proud peacock feathers, whether weather withers, slithers through the ethers

Leaders bleeders, feeders on the leaders—repeaters, but I'm the defeater
