Slave
Rhythmic Rebellion: Unveiling the Depths of a Modern Slave's Mind
Lyrics
I'm gettin the ahh, I'm gettin the ahh from the
Feeling the essence or vibe
Weak shit that I hear no lyrical styles come near
Dismissing weak or inferior rap styles
To the one who boasts like Buck
Comparing oneself to someone who boasts (Buck)
On the mic truck, cuz I never gave a fuck
Being indifferent or rebellious on the mic
I hate the weak shit, man it be fuckin with my soul
Disdain for inferior rap affecting deeply
I peeped how radio be trying to take control
Observing how mainstream media tries to control
Tellin me to get a little lighter on my lyrics
Being asked to soften lyrics for mainstream appeal
But if it ain't real on the mic I can't feel it
Can't resonate if the expression isn't genuine
Straight from my bloodstream, I pump finesse
Injecting finesse and skill into the flow
Nevertheless, hold it in your chest like stress
Carrying the flow like stress, but with finesse
Rhythm and blues style is not in my environment
Rejecting a style not reflective of surroundings
And when I "slowww dowwwn" it's time to take a hit
Slowing down for a moment, perhaps to smoke
But until I fall off, call off your set
Challenging others to recognize talent
And if you never knew me, then you never knew wreck
If not familiar, missing out on witnessing skill
Look inside of the mind and see
Encouraging introspection into the artist's mind
Cause you might be trapped with a nigga like me
Being stuck or trapped with a similar mindset
I feel like I'm trapped in the motherfuckin cave
Feeling confined or limited like in a cave
To the rhythm I'm a slave, lookin in my grave
Feeling enslaved to the rhythm
Jugular vein bustin out my neck, you see the rage
Intense emotions expressed through physical signs
I move when I groove cuz I'm into, the stage
Being passionately involved in performing
Of the Buckshot, black, I'm bringin it back
Reviving authentic roots in music
To the roots, like Timberland boots, home on my rack
Staying true to origins or roots
And I don't give a FUCK what you say
Disregarding opinions about authenticity
Commercial rap, get the gun clap, day after day
Rejecting commercialized rap with aggression
Niggas don't play on the d low, kid you know my steelo
Asserting dominance and style
I roll on more niggas than cee-lo
Surpassing others in numbers or actions
We might just bumrush your set
Threatening to invade and dominate
Me AND my niggas on the real mic check
Confirming authenticity with a real mic check
Like my nigga Smif gettin swift on the gift
Recognizing a colleague's skill and passing it on
Then I toss another lesson to my nigga Wessun
Imparting knowledge or guidance to a peer
And my nigga Five from the tribe of Moon
Identifying with a specific group or alliance
Pass the Crooked I, bitch yo pass the boom
Passing something strong or potent
Whenever you're ready I'mma take you into the stage
Preparing to perform deeply, engaging the audience
Deep in the mind of a slave
Being trapped in a mindset dictated by circumstances
