ARTIFACTS - The interview lyrics

rate me

[El Da Sensei]

My characteristics be mistic, you ask who is it

doin it, with the next type of tecs running through it

The bullshit, I mean, rap style clean

while I lean my 6 foot frame, Tame's the other being

Seeing that niggas wack, time to take it back to basics

Like saucony sneakers or a pair of Asics

Don't hate this- analyst, hip hop activist

battle tecnician who be on a mission now listen

[Tame One]

Tame One got more grip than gore tex

I'm comin through your set like CBS

writing my name up in your projects

Who wanna test me when I'm sess-ted

Pushing the paragraph like it's a Lexus

I come off hot like Texas

My west disrtict predicts that I'm the shit

So I walk through the bricks and shoot the gif like it's a full fifth

I bring the ruckus filling dutches with dust

I spread love like Take 6 until the whole spliff bust

[El]

We wish to diminish MC frauds who need to check

into a rap clinic, thinking that they all in it

My message to those is right down to the core

kick your best MC and all his niggas through the door

3-point offense, defense level's high

Stamina a hundred, leave your team ass dry

[Tame]

It's still our nature to hate ya

play you out like Las Vegas

cause my crew's got more game than 16 Segas

with adaptors, battling wack rappers and actors for all their stacks

and keeping my family fucked up like the Jacksons

[El]

Yo, you couldn't find my dap if you tried to use a map

or instructions, the number ones sold, guns be bustin so

Best to recognize, eyes is on the prize

watching for spies who want a piece of the lyrical pie

[Tame]

Crews be flippin like they really wanna die

but when I ease up, they freeze and can't look me in the eye

I got folders on the jokers who talk trash

They never walk past, cause I be checkin for they're hall pass

Haul ass and let me shine like glass do

when I die make a statue, I get in you like a tattoo

I pay homage to all the bombers that I'm fly with

enduring politics and getting paid off of some side shit

[El]

I push niggas back who lack skills to hold their own

Jackin other brothers' styles way that they can zone

Prone to dismantle your insides like Mickey Mantle

My form lasts long, like trick candles

You see the work of these rhyme experts

that hurt niggas in cyphers to make the other states liver

Survivors of the fittest light the graf then ASCAP

Sen-S-E-I peep the next paragraph

[Tame]

In all actu-al my style's wilder than a crack spot

I'm illin, using the putas you buildin as my backdrop

I paint a picture perfect with a thousand pencils

From the back of Continentals, Lincolns, drinkin, thinkin mental

You better look through your girl's tape collection

cause this next subject might have a nigga second-guessing

I wanna do raps and get fat like Apache

so I can get nasty and dis a nigga like a taxi

[El]

My exquisite exhibit has facts in this specific

Most niggas boast how they represent and come with it

But whose the rudest boys, coolest with poise

Artifacts be stickin them with rhythm poise

Is on the biz, taylor skills like Liz

Tryin to save the culture, vultures wanna run the biz

You hear my voice more clear, intact

peep the lyrics, trap my sectrets

Ill like the film called the Curor

Questions, answers, brothers payin dues

MCs recognize, yo, we endin this interview
