intro
yeah, i'm on the cusp of cream
trust and believe this is more than just a dream
#teamgrind, keep on
can't allow y'all to sleep on so
wake up (repeat)
verse 1
no time for small banter, gigging at chitlin' tour standards
gaining momentum and more and more fandom
wielding the mic like it's Thor's hammer
sore back combated with extract from shorn antlers
with ripping it comes the ribbons and love, the women
and such but tunnel vision 'til my bidness is done
a mimic of none, unique as a print of my thumb
but just to keep it simple enough, they call me
JB like the Soul Brother #1
sucker for break beats where they gave the drummer some
flush your eardrums and deliver from the scum
with a style so clean albums come with rubber gloves
from Playtex, i'm coming up at a pace that's breakneck
so place your paycheck on a safe bet
to sum it up in a statement, i got Next
and i don't mean Butta Luv in the tape deck, check
chorus
i'm on the cusp of cream, trust and believe,
this is more than just a dream
i got the touch y’all must agree
So for those still stuck asleep, it's time to
wake up (repeat)
verse 2
coming through the kid's fumbling jewels
this year the youth can skip their summer school
my spit a hundred proof, the flames airlift your
balloon and take you on a trip to the moon
and don't plant a flag i just tag my handle
the vandal, spray permanent paint can fulls
getting up something like Christ early Easter
guerilla promo no charge, Shirley Caesar
rap trapezist, my bars flyer
to even admire need to look skyward
tip toe high ropes of barbed wire
with flows i'm cold as hard Breyer’s
hardwired for loops on fire,
dive in like circus taught tigers
even the tame raise their arms higher
gaze in amazement ‘til your eyes hurt, word
chorus
can't dine solely on critical shine
so pull the vault door open 'fore i kick it inside
on some Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Cynthia Rothrock
Michael Dudikoff, Jean Claude through your rock box
then non stop your alarm clock
and brew a stew of no dose in a crock pot
then serve you intravenously, secure your eyelids
open adhesively, repeatedly you'll hear (wake up)
this is more than amusement
i rule with, two solid steel hands ruthless
i'm on the roof and i’m Q with a loose grip
i got the juice kid, 'bout to take two sips
my bars ring, tugging your heart strings
it's like Al Green singing in an arm sling,
not a darn thing standing between me
and total supremacy, will glow inevitably, watch me
