lyrics

Clockwork

Chorus
We doing suckers like clockwork
We do them suckers like clock work
Tick Tock!
We doing suckers like clockwork
We do them suckers like clockwork
Reapalife

Verse One
I don’t need platinum plaques to have the mettle
For superficial, non-visual rhymes I never settle
Taught by the twenty-first century originals
Call me the doctor, my technique’s clinical
Intensive surgery on the murdering of the word and beat
Cooling with rulers and buddhas where we prefer to be
Fail to contemplate the rhyme flow geneaology
Sympathetic anesthetic, then your lobotomy
Frauds in danger, I keep one up in the chamber
No friendly freestyles, I treat you like a stranger
Confuse and abuse, yo the gift of art given
You encounter the kind to represent the true and living
Relinquish, you vanguished, your lyrics just languish
Your fans realize you defeated, so they anguished
Maybe we can get’em some therapy counseling
Playing sucka emcees just like a B-ball bouncing

Verse Two
DP, emcee, coming with the muscle
I solve your crosswords and leave you there puzzled
The catalyst for synthesis of rhyme flow…me
Have your crowd like the Geico pig. A “Whee, whee!”
Mastery honed in cipher games of the dozen
Verbal war waged with my kin and my cousins
‘Fore the coming of profits, I kicked topics
Irresistible force, you know you can’t stop it
Rolling like an eighteen wheeler, up in the left lane
Queen’s in check, she be my mate up in the chess game
Mind frame, never perpetrating on the rhyme thing
Fiending like crack for dialect drug that I sling
Flypaper lyrics? Well, maybe they’ll stick then
As I collect checks, the Timex, and keep ticking
Maybe come back when your rep is humble
Cross swords with the king, your castle crumble.
