(Hook)
I'm a real live MC my style is free yo
Can u feel da vibe then ride with me
I'm a real live MC my style is free yo
Can u feel da vibe put ya hands up in da sky
I'm a real live MC my style is free yo
Can u feel da vibe then ride with me
I'm a real live MC my style is free yo
Can u feel da vibe
I devour catz wit freestyle powerpacks at live shows
First they doubt my raps but then they try to copy my rhyme-flows
But I guard my parts like angels
My style's dope my condition remains stable Roger Rekless turntable technician
Plus Raptile Rapstyle transmission
Catchin Ruffnecks pissin their pants
Listen close Bad Boys the topic remains
I drop shit so plain straight from the top of my brain
I'm one of the tightest freestee-fighters
Burnin' freebees and biters words breezin' various
Teachin' peeps in ya ciphers
Keep ya feet down to the ground
Too many clowns in my town walk and talk like they got sounds that move crowds
But no man they just romance with my programms
I'm a grown man I blow jams strictly individual
Y'all can't immitate my style (Why not?)
Just because I innovate right now
I'm ?fresh inside? Ya mix like 94.5
My tounge rips drumkits yes
We throw joints live this bombin combination spits some poisonous styles
Me and Rekless similar to no-fuckin-body
Yes our show rocks ya parties
Toprankin' entertainmen we burn ya highest rooftops
Plus ya deepest basements freakin beatz
Seven days a week so peep these arrangements
Trailblazin' live show
I'll take y'all high when I roll
MC's die when I flow fightin' artists
Lion-hearted writin' rhymes stop bitin' lines
I got my iron partners munich city representatives
These venomous sentences representin' this
Freeformdesign just recline
And become a friend of this true hiphop shit
Free like my verse free like my speech
Free like my beein' free like freestee emceein'
Free like my mind when I rhyme live on stage
Free like my breathin'
I'm believin' we be freein' freedom from all these money-hungry deamons
Verse3:
U should know knowledge is power
And power means respect
So if u wanna gain respect
U gotta train ya intellect maintain pain in ya raps
Let them know ya main aim is not da fame
It's da track
Plus da frames you select to express what u thinkin'
Then u ain't loosin this fight
They ain't ruin ya life cause u's doin this right
Wether it's new or old school
Pay ya dues and serve some soulfood
Let them never come close to
Cause most dudes just wanna roast u
U's supposed to use ya whole brain capacity
And please stop passin' me like u's da first and last MC
(My name stands for da lyrical manslaughter mastery
Sometimes it has to be one blast for free
To free da sufferin'mass from da past agonies)
