Epik High - Rocksteady lyrics
rate me[Kero One]<br />
Hit the closets, <br />
Here come the lyrical monsters with weapons from neck up.<br />
Wrecking flows with concepts.<br />
Burbs to projects, they yelling my name.<br />
Kero One, free us from mainstream shackles and chains.<br />
The messiah of indie music, <br />
Be the movement, do it yourself, <br />
Pursue it or else you'll lose it.<br />
Truth... I told myself as a young youth, <br />
Now I build with skills what haters try to undo.<br />
Edge of your seat flows, stepping on beats' toes.<br />
Spitting fire like a lighter, reppin' my peoples.<br />
Second to none when it comes to showin' how it's done.<br />
Epik high, Kero One, Map the Soul. Cowards run! <br />
<br />
[Dumbfoundead]<br />
Yo it's Dumbfoundead<br />
Map the Soul, modern day Casanova.<br />
Pack a bowl and pass it ova', <br />
People say I rap like Yoda.<br />
Hand me a pack of coronas and Imma kill it, <br />
Get 'drunk' like the tiger<br />
Rhymer and go terrorize your village.<br />
Epik High called and told me<br />
To jump on and 'kill the track'... <br />
I took it literally and stomped on it till it was flat.<br />
I'm from killa California, K-town to be exact.<br />
Got so much damn soul, <br />
To find it you won't need a map.<br />
I've earned stripes like the corner<br />
Regions of Korea's flag.<br />
A recording demon but there's<br />
More to me than being a rapper.<br />
An advocate for truth, I am a savage in the booth.<br />
Step up and try to battle, <br />
See how much damage I could do<br />
<br />
[Tablo]<br />
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.<br />
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.<br />
<br />
[MYK]<br />
Emcee Myk Map the Soul.<br />
Epik High muthafuckas, our tracks are bold.<br />
A tale unfolds, but y'all already know.<br />
Six years deep and they still 'follow the flow'.<br />
Joined the team in 0-5, <br />
Despite a little down time <br />
I'm rollin' with the varsity team, <br />
Your rhymes are hardly mean, <br />
We hold it down in this scene<br />
And never barter with thieves.<br />
Words are sharp, shoot darts at a hater's heart.<br />
Aiming at your lolly gagging lines and your faking smarts.<br />
Breaking charts down, taking the whole crowd.<br />
Face it, we march proud and we making this art loud! <br />
<br />
[Tablo]<br />
Be your own big boss. Get yours, <br />
With your mind on the money like you're the pit boss.<br />
Go independent, be your own self-defendant.<br />
Like a knee repentant, the rules can be bended.<br />
No fool can be mended, it's a torn sickness.<br />
No need to prove yourself to a born witness.<br />
Look in the mirror, kid.<br />
You're a wonder like the pyramids.<br />
Industry, the stink of it, <br />
Ain't you fuckin' sick of it? Idleness?<br />
It's a sin, yes. Clean up your 'window'<br />
Of opportunity like Windex.<br />
You know, it's like incest to 'fuck yourself' over.<br />
Self-hate is alcohol... <br />
You're drunk or you're sober.<br />
<br />
[Tablo]<br />
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.<br />
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.<br />
<br />
[Rakka]<br />
It's on when the mic's on. Dark when the light's on.<br />
Spit light when dark. Explosive dope, pipe bomb.<br />
Swing till your whole crew is gone.<br />
Skills like and.<br />
Spirit MC King. Ask Wing and Hong 10, <br />
I work the ring like Die Hard Dong-Hyun Kim.<br />
Otherwise never say die.<br />
So I'm blessed with 'nuff local love.<br />
Worldwide respected.<br />
I trade money but my time is precious.<br />
They chase treasure, <br />
But my milliseconds are measured.<br />
Map the Soul and every single spot I've affected.<br />
Rakaa stays fly and the High is Epik.<br />
<br />
[Tablo]<br />
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.<br />
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.<br />
<br />
East, west connection.<br />
Boom Bap. One blood, one God, one soul music.<br />
East, west connection.<br />
Boom Bap. One life, one love, one true music.
