Return of the Cunning Linguist
People raise your
glasses up as I
propose a toast, for
spittin thangs that
do spit flame and
grab ahold of folks,
with 2 hands open
wide and poised to
grab and hold ya
throat, this peanut
butter flow is hard
to swallow; hope
you choke.
I'm light years in the
distance to a
mental place I sit,
and buggin cause
my brain's been on
a mental Matrix tip,
don't need to use
an airport, close my
eyes and take a
trip, I hear the
people talk but aint
nobody sayin spit.
I gotta pay these
williams so I grind
to make my grip,
I'm scared to break
its neck so I don't
try to make it flip,
no need to fade out
gradually it's just a
basic mix, I wash
my words out
longer so they'll
have to stay and
rinse.
A cunnilingual
master of disaster;
Mr. Creed, I'll die
just like Apollo 'fore
I live like Mr. T,
or hobbled in the
mind cause
ignorance is
misery, a know-it-all
that still can't read,
these kids be killin
me.
My verbal halitosis
makes me carry
Listerine, I kiss the
L with smoke rings
like I'm married to
these trees,
to switch it aint no
wives no more just
chicks who carry
seeds, and try to
live the lifestyle
from TV and
magazines.
I wish the hood
would smell the
coffee, not alot have
learned, that once
they take a sniff
that very coffee pot
is burned,
along with all the
rest of breakfast,
people gotta learn,
the government aint
handin out no more,
you gotta earn.
Vernacular is raw I
know, I'll season it
and cook, it's just
not cool to be so
stupid, go and read
a book,
what's saddest
though is how some
folks reject what
feeds the brain,
embracing empty
nourishment like
Drake and Lil
Wayne.
The Cunning
Linguist has the
jewels to be forever
dropped, I spit on
all my critics,
T.C.L. will never
stop,
administering logic,
making enemies of
friends, and toolin
up for battle, be
prepared for sweet
revenge.......
