Check The Blueprints
Slowly and steadily MCs are fallin off like leprosy
Instead build immunity and spread insight through community
These fundamentals, form the krux of longevity
When melodies are looped and vocals harmonize in unity
Now its 99 and aint a damn thing changed
Some seek fame as wealth manipulates the brain
Let me, paint this picture, your minds the canvas
Many claim their real and later flake like dandruff
Cause 1 out of 10 stick to their words
The other 9 stick to my nikes and get rubbed out on the curb
Lets be real, were paper chasin for financial backing
But theres a thin line defined by need and greed many are passing
Known as crossing over for exposure some embark
Or cars,jewels and **** that wont exist when we depart
Crews, dont snooze, or eyes become bruised
This goes out to those that slept knew the deal or were confused..
Check the blueprint..
[Chorus]
So MCs, take it back to lyricism
Producers, pour out your heart into the rhythm
DJs pay bills develop skills
And respect the architecht as we begin to build
And check the blueprint, to keep the culture alive
And check the blueprint so as an artist you can survive
And check the blueprint I speak these words without frills..
[scratch]
So respect the architect as we begin to build
Clutchin my pen tight strugglin to portray the right depiction
Im punchin the wall of writers block, loathing for recognition
Nowadays your not heard, unless your posing an image
With watered down lyrics that appeal tomost who listen
Instead ill water the roots so branches will replenish
Expanding elements that pioneers started building
Hiphop houses, so many free loading MCs
I feel theres only a few tenants whove been paying their fees
360 degrees what goes around comes back
Im smoking mics as I inhale lies and exhale facts
Unfold the blueprints, the plans for improvement
Bridging gaps between the mind, ball point pen and the clueless
Innovation is useless once you forget the essence
So respect the architect. pick up your pens and start sketchin
Pick up your pens and start sketching..
[Chorus]
So MCs, take it back to lyricism
Producers, pour out your heart into the rhythm
DJs pay bills develop skills
And respect the architecht as we begin to build
And check the blueprint, to keep the culture alive
And check the blueprint so as an artist you can survive
And check the blueprint I speak these words without frills
[scratch]
So respect the architect as we begin to build
As I open my slanty eyes to this place called earth
I contemplate how music has lost artistic worth
And Im shrivled up in my niche like the scrotum when its freezing
With bags under my eyes on account of too much sleeping
Because of these lies in rap that I cant feel
Leaving me dazed with the phrase 'i keep it real'
How many times have you heard this being fed through your ears
Id rather be fed in the mouth, to **** it out from the rear
Claiming their underground but underwater theirwrinkling
And me like water buoys to that level Im never sinking
Sink your teeth into my words hard enough to be lispin
Then when finished biting them, find your front teeth missing
I see em sippin fine wines in spas, to match their image
Gimmicks.. I flap my jaws and their squads diminished
I dont mess with glocks but metaphorically in speech
Id like to pump em with more shots than diabetics receive
Then in a better place may they peacefully rest
In hopes that next time the blueprints theyll manifest
Check the blueprint...
[chorus]
So MCs, take it back to lyricism
Producers, pour out your heart into the rhythm
DJs pay bills develop skills
And respect the architecht as we begin to build
And check the blueprint, to keep the culture alive
And check the blueprint so as an artist you can survive
And check the blueprint I speak these words without frills
[scratch]
So respect the architect as we begin to build
