about

"There is one place that you have not yet looked, and it is there, only there that you shall find the master."

lyrics

This that rappers delight,
mixed wit the passion of christ

I'm a master, an old dirty bastard
Rapping on mics

The next chapter, I pen it faster
Rapidly write, these bars

Catch me in flight, the star
I'm naturally nice

Pass me the dice, its 4,5,6
I'm maxing the price

That's a head crack, and you can bet that
Laugh if you like

I'm from where we tell you once
Trust, we ain't askin you twice

the front runner so on any track
I'm lappin you twice

in Vintage patterns and stripes
just to match wit the nikes

Eatin chicken, cashews and rice
Thai chilis add to the spice

Real shit, after this life
might really manage to swipe

Another body, reincarnate my soul
To manifest light

Til then the plan is recite
These bars and stanzas wit lyphe

And go bananas
Imposing more damage on any mic

We be jamming on any night
Peter panning, I'm very like

So its hook line and sinker
We landin on every strike

Say it wit me Star &
Lyphe reminisce it and play it me

Outside of building 85
nigga we Tre and Ricky

Every corner had a Doughboy
people is raising quickly

Off the block when that tough talk t
urn into raise the blickey

But shit erase the histry get me
the aid of whisky

I’m sippin finish the fifth and I’m trippin
and fadin quickly

Full switch tell ‘em wit the bullshit t
hat they could miss me

I Pull Pulitzer Prize type bullets a
nd blaze ‘em swiftly

I do it this way and strictly the critics
could grade and list me

Near the top custom name that I got
its made to fit me

We all searching for better that path
they lay is tricky Bridge

over troubled water I slip they 86 me
Regrets? I can’t accept it that this the way to hit me

So yes I plan to bless it
these scripts they cain’t forget me

I’m for growth I’m for knowledge
could never exchange or switch me

Carry on in the marathon
this in the name of Nipsey its Lyphe

This shit that we do, you know we feel that we've reached a level of mastery all be it because of our age, wisdom, experiences, things like that, you know what I mean it makes us masters in our own right and we don't give a fuck about anybody else
