Revenge of the Cunning Linguist
Folks think I'm a
nice guy, to a fault I
guess I am, if those
folks only knew
deep down I'm tellin
them to scram,
I'm tryin to keep my
language clean like
crispy Franklin
notes, I am The
Cunning Linguist
spittin nifty
antidotes,
that cross you up
the Hardaway and
leave ya ankles
broke, hot feces
exits out my mouth,
I got a stanky throat,
that exhales dragon
fire but believe this
aint a roast, there's
too much jumpin off
and I'm afraid it aint
a joke.
Like women
nowadays, I often
wonder if it's me,
that sees how
some are free to
divvy up the wizard
sleeve,
then they don't
know just how they
came to get the
HIVV disease, deny
and keep it sweet
to give it up to Pete
and Steve.
I get up on my
soapbox when I
have to drop a
jewel, the niceness
gets mistaken like I
still won't drop a
fool,
for comin outta
pocket, I aint talkin
poppin tools, I let
go of the knowledge
cause this dude
can drop it smooth.
I'm Harry Belafonte
but don't call me
Mr. Tibbs, this
poetry just flows in
me and what a gift
it is,
you may not think
my skill's correct
but I insist it is, I'm
so unlike the
others, verbis not
ipissimis.
Confused on what
that means? Well I
advise you look it
up, vernacular's like
stir-fry in a wok; I
cook it up,
and dish out
healthy servings, I
won't let your brain
cells starve, in
executing verbal
warfare, yes I am
well armed.
My aim will blow ya
head off like Bin
Laden, picture that,
the YouTube vids
and image will
confirm this vicious
fact,
don't need Marines
and choppers flying
into distant lands,
I'll do you like Waist
Deep but they won't
find the missing
hand.
My adjectives are
ravenous but that's
just certain ones,
my scarface
resonates of how I
kill these words for
fun,
to crush the
competition and I
do it big like Pun,
then ride off in a
Matrix, Cunning
Linguist, I'm The
One.
