lyrics

Return of the Dirty MC

Chorus
Back with the old school, tell me how you feeling now
Reapa back with the old school, tell me how you feeling now
Reapalife come with the old school, tell me how you feeling now
DP on the mike, tell me how you feel

Verse One
Back from the ever present, with tribal lessons
The magical, the mystical, the force we call the lyrical
Designed to elevate the mind state, to raise and innovate
We grab the microphone and our lyrics they got to devastate
Forces of the negative, sedative, so repetitive
Rampant illness on the verbals, I bring the medicine
Too many be practice the art without a license
Burn as they learn, it’s the return, of the wisest
Reaching through the chaos, restoring all the order
Flushing all the negative, out with holy water
Gift of the oracle, sage up on the mike
I’m manifesting God’s power, resurrecting all life
Choose to abuse it, silent when you lose it
Paradox in the art, promulgate confusion
Resurrect the cipher, karma be the law
Invisible, trump the miserable, that’s what you never saw

Verse Two
Sadistic stylistics be coming with hieroglyphics
Graffiti for the needy interpreting verbal mystic
Word manifestation, elevate the nation
The representation with the right motivation
First sound of the drum, hear the boom-boom?
Messiah ‘bout to be reborn, vacate the room
The head space, a real holy space, you get the gas face
Back talk, residual chalk, you off the board erased
Never need the gun ‘cause the knowledge make’em run
Black male me? I’m kin to the sun.
Light, warmth, heat, illumination in the solar
Ice cold, pimp strut, freezer burn, polar
Contemplate the rhyme ‘fore I manifest a lyric
Truth to the youth, what I speak, when they hear it
When Reapa on the mike, ya’ll suckas hit the deck
‘Cause the soldier ‘bout to roll up, hold up! Much respect.
