It's just some boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap
Boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad
I been scraping shit together
Started at a deficit but hanging by a tether
And I've never had it better than the present day
Fangs out for the debtors tryna sever my pay
Who's that playing with the lever that decides where I go?
Hope you brace yourself for Trevor's tires, slide in the snow
Help the snideness to slow, those doubting highest of flows
Not to gloat, but go retire and we'll light up the show
I'll throw Matthias in the Lion's Den, call some firemen
By time they arriving, he's been grinded down to vitamins
Sorry for the violence! But the war that we've been fighting
Won't be won without the slightest bit of dying men
When the current is in history books
Well it sure does look like the work of mystery crooks now
But we learning who took us for easy bishops and rooks
Go fetch a bucket from the brook before we burn the hook down
It's just some boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap
Boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"

Life's too short to be stuck in survival mode
There has to be another way, I won't stop 'til I find the road
Someone understand, like you speaking some type of code
This is for the child who had to carry the entire load
Where the lies at? You can't deny facts
In a never-ending timelapse, like Samurai Jack
Got cousins didn't come back from the trip to Iraq
And the ones that did come back are wishing for their lives back
How people feel about each other has nothing to do with me
That changed when someone said "how would you feel if you were me?"
Truthfully, I'm a reflection of my community
If we can't rise above ourselves then there will be no unity
Looks like where we're headed, there won't be no you and me
If you stop depositing excuses, see what you could be
BLAQKNOIZ snapping like poets doing a slam set
Mad flex, I'm not even who I am, yet
It's just some boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap
Boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad
Said "I move", but they judging me, budget, it's no budging me
My budgeting be like buck fifties, I'm 50 Cent shy of G-Units
But still a thousand like some G units
But nobody could dilute it, in due to the theme music
This is what I gotta… or what I gotta do
Like when I gotta do, like a style that's not in due time
For most of us holding what's not in lieu
Retrievers not as golden for topics that's taught in school
I print cess, you princess
They pimp hoes, I flip checks
Chaka Khan with Shaka on, I'm Prince-set
For every bench-mark, I surely will bench-press
With Semtex, it's like a tricky collage
I'd rather bump Bahamadia before Nicki Minaj
In an itty bitty garage out in Sicily, Prague
With this canal from a symphony, the City of God
It's just some boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap
Boom bap
You can sit and wonder "how they do that?"
Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back
Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad
you've got to love reflective, often claustrophobic, and cryptically heartfelt hiphop, especially when the artist does most of their own production The Thought
probably gonna be the best underground record of 2020, barring something truly phenomenal that I'm not anticipating. deep, dense, decadent. The Thought
