D-R-A-K-E
D.R.A.K.E (Don't Rap Against Kendrick Ever)
In this rap game, verses serve as creed,
Whispers echo in alleys, a solemn vow to heed:
D.R.A.K.E., a cardinal rule, carved in sonic stone,
"Don't Rap Against Kendrick," stands fiercely alone.4
Beneath spotlight & the battleground stage,
Many came with pride, only to succumb to rage.
For Kendrick, the poet paints with a finer quill,
Each line a sharpened edge, each bar a kill.8
From Compton's heart, beneath the street,
His syllables twist like cyclones, none can beat.
With metaphors that challenge the space above,
And similes slicing through defenses large enough.¹²
Beware brave contender with ambitions to dethrone,
Against this lyrical titan, your skills best not be shown.
He weaves punchlines, complex and diverse,
A narrative so gripping, each verse a universe.¹6
He is humility personified, yet a beast in the booth,
Turning each song into stark undeniable truth.
With rhymes that resurrect & beats that decree,
Kendrick's words are a revolution that set minds free.²°
Heed this warning, encoded in every rapper’s dream,
Carve it deep within your soul, let it reign supreme:
Never battle with Lamar, the king of verbal sever,
D.R.A.K.E. rings true: Don’t Rap Against Kendrick Ever.²4
