11 An Epiphany (Prod. by Lewis Parker)

from Episode III: Illation by Billy Conahan

lyrics

(V1)
The scene unravels to madness when I'm addressing the masses
I lit a match;it was no flash in a pan, you turned the ashes
Testing average never mattered to me, I liked a challenge
The chance is that these masses agree? I liked the answers

It was just a matter of time
Before the matter at hand, fell into hands of a mastermind
The last alive of the Slaughter House Five
There's a war going on outside, I will survive

With bare handed barbarity, bars breaking anatomies
It's hard to believe they barely breathing enough to hear me speaking actually
Plot your strategies, fill your cavities
The roof could be on fire, I'll still pack it past capacity

Look at my Raps, you'll know what hard work means?
They want fifteen minutes off of one sixteen
Don't make me laugh bro, you better gather up the facts yo
You be thinking shit is sweet, like all you licking is assholes

(Chorus)
Then an epiphany, told me not give up yet
My creativities, will lead me to the furthest extent
Of capabilities, sooner or later they will accept
No matter what they expect, what you see is what you get

(V2)
I killed a thousand mics before I ever made a G
Then I rearranged the alphabet, now you (U) owe (O) me (M, E)
I kept it up, close, and personal to further the seed
To achieve the things in life that you never believed

I left your whole crew asking, wonder what happened
I was hacking 'em up, having 'em stuffed and sent packing
I'm toe tagging, havoc enough to keep your toes tapping
No Jackson, but gott'em bouncing like the moon landing

You're no matter, you're like anti-gravity
You can't hold me down, you can not handle me
The New School Newton sitting under an apple tree
So when I drop it, they better not try to stop it

I'm giving it all I got, good God, I gotta go the distance
The difference, between you and I is more than physics
The mystical spirit that dwells within my lyrics
Appeared to me in a vision, and told me that ya'll should hear this

(Chorus)
