What?

[Bm] Just when things seem the same
And the whole scene is lame
I come and reign with the unexplained
For the brains to think same
Stay strained to sling sling
I'm trained to bring game
History that I arranged
Been regained by King James
Go to practice with tactics
With the trackers, theatrics
Women that look like actresses
Status of Cleopatras
Stacks of mathematics
To feed your [F#] Asiatics
As I find out what the facts is With geographics
No [Bm] time to sit moles with hostess
Never mind with the total grossest
I rip shows, stay focused
And split cheese with soldiers
While you hit trees and ghosts
I spit flows to be ferocious
And with these explosives
I split seed for Moses Shine permanently
Only my mind's concerning me
Fire burns in me eternally Times eternity
Followers counter me
Of being a mental infirma
[F#m] Determinedly advanced technology
Better than Germany
[Bm] Since the first days you know us
And the last days is over
I was always a flower
I made waves flower
From a compound to the anatomy
To the breakdown of atom
Some of my rap patterns
Still surround Saturn
From the ancient hieroglyphics
To graffiti painted pictures
I study I know the scriptures
But nowadays ain't ambitious
Stay back I go beyond
Check the holy Quran
[F#] Speeches at the Odoam
Now we get our party on
[Bm] So being beneficent
I bless them with dialogue
Stay expecting the next testament
By the God
I'm going through battle zones
With clones with chaperones
Blast beats and saxophones
One of the baddest rappers known
Every country city and barrel
Side street and ghetto
Allen alley and metal
Very sterile enough to echo
When it was one mass to land
With one national man
[F#] And the whole mass just ran
Under one master plan
[Bm] Since the world's metamorphosed
And the planets kept in orbit
Turntables we spin off with
But needles never skip off it
Rhythms we express
Are similar to our ancestors
It'll answer your questions
If you understand the message
From the days of slave toppings
To the new age of prophets
As heavy as hip hop is
I'm always ready to drop it
From the mind which is
One of the Lord's best designs
[F#m] And mine's a stand test time
When I rhyme
[Bm] The 18th letter
The prophecy professor
I stay clever
Long as the planets stay together
Bring a praise from Echa
Make a praise for the better
[F#] In new days to remember
Always and forever
[Bm] The 18th letter

Long as the planets stay together
